I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

if your perspective is being challenged by the rantings and ravings of bari weiss then you might just be fucking stupid i’m sorry you had to find out this way

There are too many rich white people who've had no challenges in life working in media...is a thought I had when one of them was saying recently they appreciate how Bari Weiss challenges their perspective. Babe, most folks don't need that, it doesn't make you open-minded and intellectually curious.

love that we had a whole national reckoning over the media's coverage of Biden's advanced age and none of the scolds who High Horsed us can be bothered to spend even a minute reflecting on the fact that Trump has basically become Mr. Burns in the "Spruce Moose" episode of THE SIMPSONS

The peak Irish moment in my life was when I was working in an Irish theme pub in Toronto and the lead bartender told me to stop using the word "ill" because it was too fancy.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

I still have flashbacks to being 15 and vomiting in the front garden of a school friends house just as their parents came home from a party. I had to pass that house everyday on the bus until I finished Uni 6 years later. I never stopped cringing.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Trump is federalizing the National Guard in Illinois against our will—

An affront to American values and an extreme abuse of our military.

He’s terrorizing citizens in attempt to expand his power and punish opponents.

That’s just not who we are.

I've resisted the term "Ulsterification" cos it implies that NI's political culture is somehow un-British, rather than an entirely British weaponisation of Britishness, enabled and enacted by British interests.

But the PSNI boomeranging back to London to round up protesters is really something.

Once again, reframing protests against the actions of Israel (and the British government) as protests against Jewish people.
