Best I can hope for is that my brother fails hard and makes up with his gf. She always balanced out his BS, and while I do not want her to put up with his nonsense, I can’t think of anyone who would care enough to deprogram this out of his system, and help take care of his girls. I will always think of her and her son…

He always has been a follower of the most contrarian things. It is only recently that the things are so dangerous, but whewwww did that escalate quickly. 

My brother and the guy you describe have stunning parallels. He refused to get vaxxed, or to get his kids vaccinated, and still insists that the pandemic is a political invention. It makes me furious just thinking about it now, after he willingly puts himself and my nieces in harm’s way, not to mention everyone he…

Yeah, I just want them to do well in school, and escape to college. I need the older one to avoid boys like the plague, decide she wants to escape, and then the younger one will want to follow her big sister’s lead. Cannot have them get pregnant at 16 like their mother. Lord!

Yeeeeesh. You are right. Shit is scary as hell, and I am glad at least his ex-gf and her son are safe. I adored her, and they were a good match up until my brother ingested Tate’s BS and he got awful big for his britches. She did not need such a weak-minded match, and her son (who I presume is gay) did not need my…

My nieces seem acutely aware that their mother and the state of Utah just want them to become baby ovens once they hit 15. I know they will both outsmart my brother, and escape this petit Gilead. Having them sent to their mother would be even more caustic than them rolling their eyes at my brother frothing with the…

I forgot to mention that he uprooted his girls from their comfy west coast lifestyle to move to Utah to be closer to their Mormon mother. Cult is not even the word.

Sadly, their mother is even worse than he is. She’s Mormon and thinks it is her duty to basically marry her girls off and make sure they procreate by 15/16 like she did. Her stance is disgusting, to put it mildly, and I wish my nieces were not trapped in Utah until they can run off to college elsewhere. 

Unfortunately, many may be primed for hate, perhaps because of genetic memory. Or perhaps because our technology and our interconnectedness are evolving faster than most minds can fathom. Our propensity for Othering is the root of hate, and ignorance is simply the fertilizer that grows it into a deadly, thorny tree.

Let’s see here. In just the last three months, my younger brother has:

I came for Pikachu news and all I got was this non sequitur of a lede image.

I do like the idea of slut educating and slut protecting. Ethical Slut is one of my favorite books, so that tracks.

My experience in a nutshell trying to get the vaccine:

X-2 and its infinite perfection would like a word lol

Mephistopheles, obviously lol

I will always and forever eat up anything Ghost in the Shell.

Infinitely proud of Jon, and all the New Orleans soul he represents!

Loooove a good Oxford comma. A public spat, on the other hand, not so much. 

She has definitely leaned into the spray tan a lottttt since she first came onto the scene, but lately, she has been giving me Korean beauty ad vibes.

Yes. Nick Denton definitely overplayed his hand in many ways, but the staggering pettiness/ruthlessness of Thiel is only matched by his wealth. Even the sharp wit of a Brit like Denton is no match for the deceit of a (formerly) closeted manbaby of such considerable means.
