That would make me more likely to play. I can’t imagine the outpouring of grief/grievance from people who hate female MCs, though.

What an entitled prick. Keeping Twitter going is not the advertisers’ responsibility.

That’s the thing, this shit is still VERY real for them. I have a conspiracy theorist acquaintance who insists that the COVID vaccines have been shown to have killed hundreds of thousands of people, and who thinks I’m insane for doubting it. He also has strong thoughts about pedophile rings (and sent me a news article…

We had someone running for school board who had spent the past year or so calling all the teachers in the district groomers because the book Gender Queer was available in the library. Last week it came out that he had impregnated a 15 year old when he was 20 or 21. And he still almost won his election.

I really hope this trend continues into 2024. My town’s local elections also generally went the way I wanted, which was really fun to wake up to.

“the danger of training AI to be woke - in other words, lie - is deadly.”

“Our ventilators are bulletproof and powered by rocket fuel. We put them in a vacuum and use that to pump air into their lungs.”

Oh, and just to go back to the ventilator thing for a second. Back in 2020, Musk said he would supply over 1,000 ventilators to California. As you may have guessed, it never happened.

“When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”

Banks, in fact, apparently called it an “F-U” to Republican voters and even said, “[Republicans] don’t deserve the majority.”

Imagine reading the Scarlet Letter and thinking the takeaway is “we must never criticize powerful women”.

censorship = people are not paying enough attention to me. This happened in a local school board fight about banning books. A lot of people who had been getting up to scream at board and call everyone a bunch of pedophiles and groomers claimed that no one was listening to them. More accurately, people WERE listening…

If a priest tells you “just ignore what your kid is saying, it’s only the devil trying to trick you”, like in basically every exorcism movie, that’s a sign of an abuser.

Doesn’t Musk make a big deal of not giving a shit about his kids? Like ... he doesn’t seem like a very involved parent?

I mean, they’re not getting any younger, and they’re never going to get or keep a woman if they don’t make an effort to be a little more pleasant.

These guys seem a little too emotional for leadership roles.

Hutchinson wrote that she felt Giuliani’s “frozen fingers trail up my thigh” and that when she looked over at Trump advisor John Eastman, he flashed her a “leering grin.”

I don’t really care if they were talking about soda before the guy answered the door. That said, yeah, it’s awful that the only response the police seemed to have was “what can we charge this child with”. It’s hard to imagine a better way to ensure that the actual perpetrator would never face justice.

The comments are all #notallmiddleagedwhitedudes (i.e., we’re absolute shitheads too!)

I would like a mural, but that would give my kids nightmares. Also, probably me.
