This whole thread is so 🇺🇸’an
I think it was a huge mistake to make our society so car-dependent. But man. The Discourse today is a good reminder that when it comes to roadways policy, otherwise progressive anti-car people quickly become some of the most pro-carceral, anti-civil liberties people on the planet.

Thread of the day 👇👇👇👇
One of the reasons the Republicans are pushing so hard to kill ACA *while* making half of all their attacks on it focused on trans people, is that they're convinced the average American hates healthy trans kids more than they love their own sick cis kids.

Is it just me or are the Bulwark folk (Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell, Jon V Last, Kristol, Stein yadda yadda) studiously avoiding calling out the complete illegitimacy of SCOTUS. They pour scorn on a supine congress, softheaded universities, shitty silicon valley nerds but SCOTUS is off limits. Why?

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

I’m liking every single Christmas tree I see on reddit. The maximalist ones, the ugly ones, the tasteful ones. All of them. Just hitting that thumbs up like my life depends on it

I don’t understand why so many Democrats seem convinced that they can win over Republican voters. Those voters like Republicans and vote for them because they like their wretched policies. They do not want the diet version

The only thing Tarantino does with any conviction in Pulp Fiction is utter the “n” word over and over
The funny thing is, Tarantino is always the worst actor in every one of Tarantino’s movies

The house Springfield built for Ned Flanders
I'm sure this is rage bait but cannot express how badly I think this guy should actually build this house, because I desperately want to take a tour of it and see how fucked it is. let it stand as a monument to the actual quality of chatgpt
Oh shit waddup

Fuck yeah!!!!! If I’m being squeezed into a tiny seat with zero legroom on a trans-Pacific flight you can be sure I’m wearing a fucking caftan over my jammies. Keep treating people like animals and see what you get
Between "dress better when you fly" and seeing several articles about "why don't Americans dress better when they" in major publications, it feels like there's a creeping move toward classism disguised as fashion or taste happening and it feels very intentional.

If a student’s reaction to assigned material is “I reject the assigned material outright as a matter of personal belief,” the response should be “we respect your beliefs so much that we’re unenrolling you from this class to make room for a student interested in engaging with the subject.”
