they/them if you like

Even if you fully intend to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being, there’s a huge difference between doing that quietly in November 2028 and loudly announcing it years in advance with zero conditions attached.
What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.

There's a special kind of ick, seeing someone saying terrible hateful things on this site, and then checking their account, and they're like, gooning to furries.
Your account that reposts furry porn will be used against you when Nazis have more control! Why are you cheering for them?

The worst part of car culture is blacked out windows. Being unable to double-check the face of a driver to see if they see you is so frustrating.
Not to mention the ability for ICE goons to move around discreetly. Saw a car that may as well have been driving itself, for all the info I gleaned.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a 12-minute response video to people mad at him supporting mass surveillance and censorship, and somehow got even MORE wrong about Section 230 than his original congressional testimony.

incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

It's cool (sarcasm) how political commentary just gets swept under the rug because there's swaths of people afraid of "politics". Like yeah Bad Bunny's existence and actions are political AND so's everyone else's
Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

Is the NFL really so litigious that you have to put "the big game" on your grocery store billboard? You have to say "I bought tickets to the big game!" if you're talking to a radio station?

Today I was passed on the right by a car that was going 5-10 mph faster than me. It had two "baby on board" stickers on its back. The driver had their phone above their steering wheel.
When they slowed down (big truck in front of them) I saw that they had moved their phone to their lap.

"What radicalized you"?
Well see, I drive 5mph over the speed limit consistently and 75% of other drivers and ALL cops tailgate me and pass me at speed.
With just that fact how could I believe that the social contract is legitimate? Don't get me started on other facts of the road.

Okay so I'm reading The Sol Majestic by Ferrett Steinmetz and it's strangely one of the best books I've ever read. Adorable and amazing and interesting. I saw that it was good near the beginning, but now that I'm 3/4 of the way through I can call it a masterpiece.
