Patriarchy is dominance. Imperial and holy war its institutional expression. Biggest stick on top. Oppenheimer renders war obsolete. Chink in the armor. Barbie the first feminist?  Hot babe with a career. Slow deflation of the imperial erection. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and on. Culture wars the sad weakened substitute for hot holy war. Yelping like a stuck pig melting into a pool of disinformation.

So wouldn’t the corollary be that when a black family moves into the neighborhood it would be better to remain so your white children attain higher academic rankings due to their superior white intellect?

@LunaRogue

Have you seen what they want for the “chicken nuggets”?

Now I am become Barbie, the destroyer of white male patriarchy.

They love love love to see your teeth gnashing and quivering outrage in response to their bigotry. That’s the point.

Is there a difference between Google using AI to report the news and Fox “news” hiring actual humans to do the same?

Seems that in either case the burden lies with the news consumer to determine the veracity. No?

If I understand this correctly, our two-tiered justice system has been created by the woke mind virus to cancel free speech and sexualize children by teaching them to read about critical race theory.

Did I miss any of the critical facts?

@GovTrack

So are we taking any bets on whether the Democrats are going to “take the other side” rather than call out the BS?

Just as America didn’t properly bury the confederacy after the Civil War, America also failed to properly bury the third Reich after WWII. This happened, I think, because America sort of has its roots in the fascism of slavery and genocide. Today’s fascism has a long pedigree. So it goes.

Why is it that when a  journalist asks a Democrat to comment about routine Republican bigotry, they reflexively pearl clutch and express “disappointment” and “surprise”?

Seriously? You’re disappointed and surprised a Republican is a bigot? Puhleeze! How about responding to these questions by saying: “Yeah, I’m not surprised at the bigotry. This is how the party has been operating for decades. Bigotry appeals to a minority of Americans and, sadly, it wins elections... if it ain’t broke...”

@ashleygjovik

Couldn’t they have just told the writers to eat cake?

@AK_OK

Interesting...but they forgot to mention that a member of the Alaskan Independence Party also “is likely beyond getting laid.”

To paraphrase John Lennon “but if you go carryin’ pictures of Donald Trump, you ain’t gonna find anybody that wants to hump”.

A good read. Key bit:

"Obviously, the social networking space is undergoing a major shakeup. Twitter under Elon Musk’s chaotic reign has seemingly created an opportunity for an alternative microblogging service. With #Threads and #Mastodon both embracing ActivityPub, it might not be one platform that wins out—but an open standard. "

Grievance, rage and religion be a helluva drug. For decades the drug’s been peddled to conservative America with fantastic electoral effect. In fact, you can draw a through line of the dealers from George Wallace to Jerry Falwell and Rush Limbaugh to the Fox “news”. Like any drug, overuse creates tolerance until the user does enough to kill themselves.

Right now, we are at the stage where we are watching the conservaddict pissing himself and screaming at the fire hydrant. Sad.

@popcornreel

I wish I could remember all that weird shit I’m pretty sure I dreamed.
