That there's endless money available for doing evil and apparently no money available for doing good confirms a lot of my priors and I'm still waiting on a parade of apologies from everyone I've ever known since grade school who criticized my "negative" attitude toward life.
For me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.

I've heard it reported from reputable sources that each Flock camera uses not just a focusing crystal, but an actual diamond — along with 2-3g of gold and other valuable metals — a fact that the media simply doesn't want you to know
It would be irresponsible of us not to further investigate if each Flock camera does in fact contain a focusing crystal that is actually a diamond
I have it on good authority that each Flock camera also contains a focusing crystal that is, in fact, a diamond.
