Understand that when a man says, "I'm not a misogynist! I love women!", he means "love" in the sense that he also loves fish and fishing, sports and championships. He loves the chase, the contest, and the reward. He gets no pleasure from them when they aren't being served for his pleasure.

DOD to screen testosterone of soldiers over 30, Hegseth says
The initiative comes after the Defense secretary last September rolled out a new set of standards for combat roles across the military.

The number of times I have heard the argument against trans-rights as "dicks don't belong in women's spaces"... It makes me think.
It makes me think that if dicks are the problem, why aren't we regulating dicks? Like there should be safety training.

The number of times we have to go around renaming hospitals, streets and airports because the men they are supposed to honor have turned out to be not-honorable... It makes you think.
I mean, it makes me think that maybe it's not a good idea to name things after men at all.

And here's a secret of the past decade: a lot of the crucial organizing/resistance work is done by women who look like nice mom-type ladies, often suburban variety, sometimes through nice organizations like churches. Sorry if anyone needs it to look like Che Guevara.

Also, demands like "stop war" / "defund police" / "melt ice" sound paternalistic which the child-mind resists. It also creates space for the child-mind to build false equivalences: stop war = accept invasion / defund police = permit crime / melt ice = allow foreign occupation.

The human brain is weird, and does not like inaction.
Telling a child to "stop hitting" leaves a mental space to fill. The child brain considers, "To stop hitting means? That biting is okay? Kicking? Screaming?"
So we say, "Be kind", "Listen", "Ask for permission".
Action, not inaction.

ICE was forced to retreat from Chicago, LA, Portland & Memphis. They'll be forced to retreat from Mpls too. The American govt may be corrupt, complicit & fascist, but American people are not submissive.
Americans are loud, funny, creative, individualistic, independent & rebellious.

I've heard that J Ross is hiding now. Probably afraid to answer the door or the phone. People are hunting him online and posting his social media posts and work history.
Just a few days ago he thought that the most threatening thing in the world was a lesbian mom in an SUV.

#notAllAI I like the AI that lives in my hearing aids and makes conversation possible. I like the AI that is being used in Africa to support conservation efforts. I like the AI that is being trained to help physicians find and diagnose cancer from imaging scans.

Future generations will judge us like we judge our ancestors -- guilty of complicity with an immoral system that abuses the weak.
At least I hope so. Future generations should be better than us.
