This child was raped by an adult and the police response is basically “wow, sounds crazy” Like the entire argument certain people made against someone being able to have an abortion in cases like this one was “well how would we be able to punish her rapist” and it turns out they just … don’t

Funnily enough the 1945 Nazi film “Kolberg” (a fictionalized account of the Napoleonic Wars) actually did use frontline Nazi troops because Joseph Goebbels was an evil moron Again, they were doing this during like, the Invasion of Normandy.

My oldhead uncle lied about his age to enlist in the Korean War and his obituary described his entire experience of the 1960s and 1970s — during which time he lived in San Francisco — as follows. Image Literally every story he told I had to be ushered out of the room for. He ruled.

"We would like some police reform please" "I hear you, here's some SEO MLK quotes on some cop cars" 1.) people ask "can i have some police reform"
2.) powerful people are like "no but here's some shit wrapped in kente cloth and a white lady is here to yell at you about something"
3.) now people are mad about the shit wrapped in kente cloth and there's no police reform

I say this as a strong critic of law enforcement: sometimes, it’s really good to wait until you know more about why someone was raided by the FBI. Image justice.gov/opa/pr/man-arr…

Yeah but 2003 had a lot of great songs for running away from fungus people (who aren't zombies? i think?)

I get this! I do! I understand "you've got everything else, why not put in a guy who has Been There Before," but like... you have at least one guy, perhaps two, and Tom Brady is a very specific form of Guy Who Has Been There Before Like I said

Folks within the MRA (Men's Rights Activist) and MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) communities have long been convinced that some form of technology -- AI, sex bots, etc -- would mean that men don't have to (or wouldn't want to) interact with women anymore See: wehuntedthemammoth.com/2022/12/14/men…

Mmhmmm. I see. reason.com/2023/01/19/nor… Image I'm sure this would not be used in a way that would say, ban books about gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender people that mention that they happened to be gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender because that counts as "sexually explicit."

Nothing is more important than watching this video from a 1985 CBS children's television special entitled "How to Be a Man". Thank you, @ProfBrianKalt, I am forever changed.

On the long list of "things I wish people got really mad about all the time," the many failings of CPS (and the foster care system) is way up there. apnews.com/article/health… This is a horrifying situation all the way around, made worse by how the foster care system's trainings for potential foster parents can be... lacking (for a lot of reasons). I wrote about that here. nytimes.com/2021/12/18/opi…

In general, a thing we tend to do in our politics is assume that 1.) our politics are right and 2.) other people share them, and if they don't, they are lone psychos Many people do not share my politics (which is fine!) so I generally assume that whatever I want to happen, other people will want the exact opposite, but most people do not appear to do this Image

Bomani once talked to me about the Bob Marley album “Kaya” for like 45 minutes for a piece that never ran, he contains actual multitudes He’s a dude who can talk about how Bob Marley’s near assassination altered both his music and his perception of his mission and a dude who can discuss when you can and can’t fight in a game

CrossFit remains admirably committed to putting its elites in pain. Normal people: I don’t want to suffer or spend hours in the gym

CrossFit people: I wish to taste death and luxuriate in its edges

The only reason this is at all interesting is that you can see the shifting Performing Normalcy Incentive, from "boycott the woke leftist NFL, sports are why you are impotent" in 2021 to "the left hates sports, a thing that is untrue" in 2023.

We didn’t have war rations that lasted until 1954, so There are two kinds of British food: good food that people would like normally (Shepards pie, a full English, beef Wellington) and food that can only be explained by a nation facing complete and total ruin by the forces of absolute evil (beans on toast, spaghetti on toast)
