Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

An absolute classic. Some of the funniest scenes in film history, fantastic baseball, and a complex, moving account of being a sister.

I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.

Exit polling suggests 410 seats for Labour and only 130 for the Tories, which “would be the worst defeat for the Conservatives in the nearly 200-year history of the party”

I will be celebrating July 4th with lunch at a board game cafe, followed probably by assembling a #cat tree for this little weirdo. He seems completely unbothered by fireworks so far although terrified by sneezes.

It's a lot. I posted about one perpetrator at the survivor's request and the world chose to dismiss the account because 'he seemed so cool and nice'. And people wonder why many survivors just struggle silently. ☹️

I'd suggest that if they really believe different opinions should be represented then they should publish different opinions. Fascists get a fair shake as contributors. Do socialists? Trans folks? The problem isn't airing different views, but rather the opposite.

And of course as everyone is pointing out it's not *really* an anti-voting op-ed, it's a 'let me convince the liberals not to vote so my side can win' op-ed.

For the record: voting matters. So does turning up to school board meetings. Community board meetings. Planning and zoning board meetings. Making public comments on pending rules. Contacting public officials. Protesting. Running for office yourself.

Unfortunately my parents are the ones holding the NYT subscription and there's no way they will ever cancel. The Times also continues to publish truly necessary journalism in their non-opinion, non-politics sections. But Jesus H. Christ, an anti-voting editorial on July 4th. Fuck these guys.

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

This shouldn’t need to be said, but autistic people communicate differently than allistic people. Especially online, you don’t know if the person you’re interacting with is autistic or not. In person, you might not know it either. We are really good at masking. So don’t be a dick please.

I really thought I had seen the most galaxy-brained ideas already, but punishing the Dems *down ballot* for what is going on at the top that they have no control over? And down ballot races are also how the R's amassed all that power. So miss me with that take.
