What’s most likely to happen is that first, all the kids under 16 will just ignore the notification about having a private account, and set it to public. If that doesn’t get them the interactions they want, they’ll just change the age on their account (or sign up for a new one if they can’t change it) since they…

I swear flagging something counts as “interacting” with it so it gets worse.

You won’t see me arguing that a rape threat is okay if the person being threatened sucks. You will see me say that using a threatening message to misgender people and suggest that transgender people are really just a bunch of violent men is a deeply fucked up thing for a woman this famous to say when transgender…

Employees pushed back against the directive but were told they had to move forward with the approved language and eventually created two mock-ups, one with all lives matter and the other with Black Lives Matter. Lululemon chose the latter and the director in question parted ways with the company after she apologized…

This is all well and good, but the problem is that the kind of people who criticize “wokeness” and talk about “the woke mob,” etc. don’t actually even know what they mean. Same with Critical Race Theory. Most people complaining about Critical Race Theory being taught in schools couldn’t actually define Critical Race…

If you don’t know the reference, it just seems very weird. 

He looks like a South Park caricature of himself.

Congratulations on getting people in the future tuning out accusations of actual racism. 

Ellie didn’t say “hey, I have a gay black friend, no way I could ever be racist”

Wow, you guys are really doubling down on trying to make this huge nothingburger a thing, aren’t you?

In 1999 I promise that most, if not all, of this group’s horrendous history was very publicly scrubbed, buffed and polished in order to not look like a bunch of creaky old fundy KKK worshipers; it was understood by that point that it was not a good image. If she had tried to look up anything it would have been missing.

She shouldn’t have said boo, because she had nothing for which to apologize.

This obsession with public self-flagellation is truly something to behold. Entire articles on how apologies are crafted by PR people and then dissected in excruciating detail and deemed either bullshit (as most of them are) or okay this one is fine because it’s insanely over the top and she sounds like she’s slapping h…

Or stays and tries to make it a better place for all women. 

I’ve sort of gotten used to wearing masks in public places, and admittedly will have a difficult time stopping wearing them, even though I am vaccinated. I feel safer wearing a mask.  Covid has fucked me up.

Unless I start wearing a shirt that says I’m vaccinated I’m going to still wear a mask.  And I’m going to assume anyone not wearing a mask is a Trumper worried about their ‘freedumbs’ more than stopping a deadly pandemic.  Not that you really need the absence of a mask to easily point those idiots out anyway.

Here’s the thing; don’t overreact to bad-faith takes by the Conservative media.

Right but crushing implies Nintendo would be destroyed. 

Is there anything these days that doesn’t result in right-wing outrage, followed by crying?

Olbermann and Moore are speaking a harsh truth and reality to the right wing instead of trying to coddle them, which is what the left always does. Taking the “high road” does not work anymore.
