Masculine archetypes would be better if they were adorable marsupials. Ditch the gender binary for cute fluffiness.
"I'm trying to cultivate more Warrior energy" = lame, cliched, a bit suspicious.
"I'm trying to cultivate more Wombat energy" = lovable, noble, relatable.

Just once I'd like Israel's defenders to talk about the country as it exists, not an idealized version of it
Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

Greenblatt and people like him continually equate all Jews with Israel, specifically so condemning political decisions of the state can be framed 1:1 as attacking Jews
Greenblatt: "We're seeing Jewish people, the Jewish state, blamed for the war. It is wrong to scapegoat & hold Jewish people accountable for something you don't like on other side of the planet. We really need leaders on all sides in politics, running for office, podcasters, to stop w/ conspiracies"

To a hammer everything looks like a nail etc, but I do think that gender is the first and primary hierarchical division of human beings, and that much of the passion of the transphobic project comes from transphobes (correctly) assessing trans people’s threat to all other hierarchies.
trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family
being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

Major right wing parties have spent decades normalising far right ideas and in doing so, have driven their voters rightward (and have made themselves unelectable). Slow clap!

How the Right radicalised its own voters
Mainstream conservative parties helped create the conditions for the Far-Right's rise by normalising divisive politics on gender, race and climate change.

So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world.
What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

a good portion of what people mean by “crime” is “visible homeless people, some of whom are behaving erratically“
More than a bit worrying that reality seems not to matter anymore. Like, whole political movements rise up out of disinformation campaigns pushed by algorithms and media narratives.

L.A. is safer than it’s been in decades, but crime is an issue dominating the mayor’s race
Although homicides and other violent crimes are down to near-historic lows, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass' challengers have zeroed in on homelessness and public drug use.

The story of the United States in the past decade is that the most materially comfortable society in the history of the world, out of sheer boredom, subscribed to conspiracy theories that told them to take a sledgehammer to the foundations of modernity.
