Feel free to block me as a boring pedant; but as a licensed therapist just here to reiterate that neurotypical does not mean lacking the ability to engage in anxiety spirals. Like, ‘statistically average’ doesn’t mean good or healthy!

under the opinion in trump v. united states there was no need for john yoo to come up with an elaborate justification for torture. george w. bush could have ordered an interrogator to crush the testicles of a child, no questions asked.

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

let me put this another way: despair, or its new name, doomerism, asserts omniscience--that things cannot be better, that all possibilities of good are already foreclosed, that you can know this as fact. it looks like humility, but it's all ego. it is, in fact, the assumption of godhood.

Ed Markey has introduced the Judiciary Act of 2023, which would add four more justices to the court.

So far it's co-sponsored by Tina Smith and Elizabeth Warren (and is supported by California senator-in-waiting Adam Schiff). I hope this now gets more momentum.

Yes. And there is a miniseries adaptation from the 80s where the character is absolutely coded that way, to the point that my wife and I think they overdo it a bit!

An insane dialectic I see both sides of is this - it’s both impossible for me to imagine a real undecided voter (in the sense they see both trump and biden as viable options) and obviously there are tens of thousands of such people all around America!

Ok, but would you also agree that America is perhaps over-idealized or misunderstood by some portion of potential immigrants from poorer countries? And if so why might that be (not sarcastic, I honestly don’t know)? Why do we have such a good reputation in this regard and could it be lost?

this is sort of important to note, i think, the kind of person who thinks AOC is too centrist is a genuine fucking weirdo, and while you might encounter dozens or hundreds or even thousands of them online, it’s a country of 330M people, they basically don’t exist

I don't think everyone is "suddenly" having adhd and autism. I think millennials were raised by parents who were ashamed of having children that weren't "normal" so we were forced to mask so hard that we "seemed" normal but were "just a little strange" and now we're all learning to unmask.

The "dudes rock" meme is a genuinely blessed addition to gender discourse. We've managed to make our positive model of masculinity something brand new. Overenthusiastic, enterprising, goofy, joyful, carefree, boisterous, camaraderie, all the qualities that we got scolded for in school.

"Dudes rock" is how we defeat the manosphere. It's how we show men that they can be their authentic selves and the world won't beat them down for it. They don't have to be cynical manipulators to be loved.
