A of people are responding to this saying “well it was set in the 80s” forget 1) the show is set in the 80 but made in the 2020s - it’s storytelling or themes don’t have to be outdated and repetative. 2) there were many non toxically masculine men in the 80s. Just pop culture only highlighted that.
Why does every straight dude in Stranger Things have the same macho, needing to get over being overprotective character arc every single season, including the final season? Can we not, for the final season, just have everyone working together and respecting each other against the bad guy?

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

The same people who want you to hate Palestinians want you to hate transgender people too. And are not shy about denigrating a person's rabbinical credentials just because she happens to be transgender. She was ordained as a rabbi before she transitioned, fwiw, not that it changes her qualifications

The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like it’s got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

Your friendly reminder that Salvation Army is extremely homophobic. Also they brought a truck into Chicago to feed ICE agents to give them the energy to shoot more priests in the faces with paintballs. Many more worthy charities out there.

this is, again, a case of someone who has not done any kind of real work in decades (maybe ever, she has a degree in political science and has been doing HR her entire career) who think the bullshit they sleepwalk through every day is work and don't understand why real human beings get tired by it
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
