“Well Harris was pro-fracking!” As a redirection to a post about all the ways leftist policy goals have not been remotely helped by Trump’s election and that they would be easier to achieve under Kamala is so nonsensical too. I wish the biggest topic of our current presidency was environmental issues. Imagine a world where people could be organizing against big oil instead of the having to fight on all fronts against the stripping away of trans rights, women’s rights, racial equality, humanitarian aid, and oh yeah, environmental protections, because let’s not forget that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill is taking away the tax incentives to switch to EVs by 2030.

There is not a single issue on which it would not have been preferable to have Kamala Harris in office, lying and screaming in the replies of bargain bin political blogs like my own would assuage your guilt at having convinced yourself and your followers to let that man back in office to punish the Democrats for being imperfect.

I do actually care marginally about the guy in that reddit screenshot who voted for Trump and is now worried that he might lose his medicaid funding because I did not fucking stutter when I said healthcare is a human right but the people losing their internships and job offers to the hiring freeze are straight up hilarious.

every so often the discourse comes around again that basically boils down to “is it feminist for a woman to want men to be attracted to her” and it’s like. no, it’s not. it’s also not anti feminist. it’s not relevant. it’s nothing. a woman wanting to have sex with men has nothing to do with feminism. being a lesbian or celibate is not “more feminist” than being a straight woman. the point was always “women should not have to dress in a way that is attractive to men solely in order to be acknowledged by them at all” not “women should never dress in a way that is attractive to men for any reason.” sometimes a woman wants men to want to have sex with her. that’s not anti feminist. that’s average. it’s also not feminist just because it’s her choice to do it. it is not related. feminism is about women’s human rights. that doesn’t mean it’s a feminist act every time a woman makes a choice.

i dont really know much abt warrior cats but iwas wondering a few days back if homestar & strongbad (from homestar runner) are valid warrior names

Not only are they valid, but "star" is a suffix reserved only for clan leaders who have been blessed with nine lives by their sacred ancestors. Can you imagine anything to make Strong Bad angrier

thinking about when my professor told me how the boards of companies/orgs/etc. will sometimes hire on a CEO/whatever who they know will basically take a chainsaw to existing infrastructure, let them fuck as much shit up as possible, and then promptly fire them as soon as they've accomplished what the board wanted them to do. then they can point the finger at that guy & look like they're the heroes and the problem is resolved because he's gone now. and they still get to keep all the changes they wanted that nobody else did.

anyway I think it's fun and all to watch the two most divorced men on the planet publicly divorce each other. and also. maybe keep that in mind, is all.

"they took pluto from you" "they took dinosaurs from you" "they took neptune from you" grow a second personality trait and stop getting upset that our understanding of the world has grown since you were in 3rd grade

This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.

If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

it turns out a lot of people are actually on the same page about whether or not they'd work if they didn't have to earn money, we just all seem to have wildly different definitions of what counts as work. i'll see one person say "of course i would, i'd still want to create art and volunteer in my local community" and another say "hell no i wouldn't, i'd quit work and just create art and volunteer in my local community" and then they look at eachother like they said something incomprehensible.
