One of the best quotes I’ve ever seen:

Nope. Jezebel keeps barking up this tree with the wrong take. Two credos to live by:

The Phelps example always cracks me up because there’s a plethora of adjacent data to show why it’s a poor comparison for the divide between men and women.

I think its a bit dubious to compare differences in height or agility with whether you are born biologically male or female. The male or female aspect has a much wider impact on your body than just having slightly longer legs or a slimmer frame.

I said elsewhere, but we have a test case. The 1976 Olympic Gold Medal winner in the Decathlon came out as transgender 40 years later. If she had been allowed to compete, as a woman, she would have set world records and won any even she entered (we can check the times and distances on this. A meter is the same length…

ANW is actually pretty good example because, at least when I used to watch it, they kept moving towards tracks that were optimal for certain heighs, leaning towards taller people, as well as requiring upper body and grip strenghts. It is understandable as they make for really flashy and impressive looking successes,…

I’m so torn on this article. At the same time, I’m deeply sympathetic towards Andraya about her struggles and the abuse she had to face. She is a person who should be allowed to live her life without being the focus of such mean spirited persecution. However, at the same time, I already knew from past experience on…

I’m imagining someone buying The Lorax, to own the Libs, sitting down, actually reading, and realizing that “This is some Commie trash!”

Noem is a liar, and a criminal. The Republican party in South Dakota ranks right up there with the most corrupt political groups in the history of this country. The only reason they don’t make the news is because they haven’t done anything all that big yet.

So she wants to see other governors asked about... what? Her shitty decision making? Her state’s Covid numbers?

Pity he’s not a Democrat, then there would at least be a chance he’d have to resign. As it stands, I’m sure he’s in line for a GOP medal or something.

Mary Trump, his niece, says that he would never run in 2024 because he would risk losing again and he cannot bear that. I tend to believe her since she was the one who was running around with her hair on fire in late December trying to warn us that he was still extremely dangerous, and we all know how that turned out.

There is no professional diversity in our politics, like in some countries where people from different sectors of the private and public sector go into office. We end up with mostly lawyers taking office. It always amazes me we trust so many lawyers with: disaster management, public health policy, infrastructure,…

Ted’s idea of Patriotism:

Remember when the English were oppressing Scotland, and William Wallace took a quick boat ride to France? It’s okay, though, his daughters had asked him to, and he totally intended to come back the next day so he could hand out mead and bubonic plague to the masses.

I think you're right.

Rich, I think this would have been a much better article/essay without the title. You obviously can’t boil down an entire generation into a single category for the sake of accusing them of letting down future generations. It isn’t fair when we do it to Boomers, and it isn’t fair to do it to Gen-Xers either. Millennials…

It felt like the Gen X slander was put in there just to tie the article to 90s week. It would have worked better if it had just been about how the bigots co-opt and weaponize the language of social justice to push their hateful agenda. But instead turned into a worthless inter-generational warfare article that was…

“Let’s reflect on how everything the anti-woke brigade says now was already said by galactic piece of shit Camille Paglia back in the 90's” could be a really interesting article. “Let’s reflect on how a bunch of shit said by Camille Paglia, who was born in 1947, proves that Gen X was anti-PC” is one of the weirdest…

This is mind-numbingly bizarre and hard to follow. I even went down the rabbit-hole and read the linked articles and citations. What I’m coming away with is that Gen X should’ve changed... something so that 2021 racists, sexists and homophobes don’t get mad at people who talk about equality and accountability?
