it’s a metaphor, see: you put the listening thing right between your ears, but you don't give it the power to play music. it’s to stop men trying to talk to you in public

"The plan? Create a lore so complicated and bewildering that the Western Massachusetts lesbian bar currently hemorrhaging money recoups its losses by becoming an attraction for disbelieving tourists."

Can I say something without everyone getting mad at me
Thirty-four days before she reported to prison, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes gave Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim access to document her every move. That turned into a three-year project, and A24 will release the resulting documentary this October.

The conversations American "leftists" are having while immigrants get rounded up in camps btw
🚨 “The More Dysgenic, the Better”: Beatrice Adler-Bolton Says the Left Must Give Up the “Fantasy of Being Fitter Than the Fascists” At Socialism 2026, Adler-Bolton argues that “fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism” and says the goal should not be to become “more useful to the ruling order.” She says the left should not try to beat fascists “at their own game” by becoming “fitter, more eugenic.” “In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.” She closes by arguing that revolution is not “a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies” and that the very idea is itself fascist.

This is a fucking cult.
“Protect our women” Unless she disagrees, obviously. In which case she’s fair game to be brutally assaulted as Nigel Farage watches and laughs.

Multiple women are dead post roe because they were denied abortions but since that doesn’t affect you you can smugly hand wave that away as “immaterial”. What condescending analysis
Gloria Steinem got women to tie their gender identity to abortion and the aspiration of corporate success, rather than the low-wage work they were doing (and continue to do). She successfully got rich women and their daughters to throw working class women under a bus. We could have had a feminism that made sure that working women were unionized and paid. Instead, Steinem was paid to make sure your daughters wanted to be Sheryl Sandberg.
