The right's most terrifying boogeyman is a 5'2" kindergarten teacher who says "be nice."

This is a MOOD. Maybe I should just get around to watching it myself.....
David M Willis!@damnyouwillis.bsky.social · last wk.The first time I really ever started watching The Simpsons was, like, reruns in college, because Fundamentalist Family, and so just watching these in order is, uh... it's weird to piece together Culture episode-by-episode
The context of *this* wave of visceral rage at rapists is that in the past decade we've seen them take complete control of the government, turn the entire economy into their ponzi scheme, gain trillions of dollars of exploited wealth. We've seen an opposition party abjectly fail at stopping them
You can't throw a fucking stick in politics or the billionaire class without hitting a sexual predator, like you can just go "look at literally all the people in power right now"
You can't be branding large numbers of accounts as "rude" and defaulting to hiding their posts, suspending people aggressively on tenuous interpretations of posts, and then with the other side of your mouth "well if you're so bothered about transphobia you're welcome to Do Your Own Moderation"
No, it all comes down to too many of us XY sorts immediately jumping up to yell Not All Men. We are NOT on the stake unless we act to put ourselves there, bud.
Congrats, you did the meme.
i heard they're lowering the age requirements for enlistment in the skeleton wars. they're gonna come yank that shit out of you while you're still alive.

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.
Also the most realistic thing about Verheoven's Starship Troopers is that fascists are actually terrible at war. acoup.blog/2024/02/23/f...
Fireside Friday, February 23, 2024 (On the Military Failures of Fascism)
Fireside this week! We’ll pick up looking at some of the successes of Hellenistic armies next week. Percy, having found a use for some of my books. And of course, less I miss a chance to note…

I feel like the internal logic on this one goes something like "but I agree with him, and obviously a member of the British armed forces can't be a fascist! Therefore, they must not be fascists." And buddy...
There is one really simple and easy to understand reason why someone who writes for the Telegraph is trying to make this argument
Is the Telegraph just keeping an eye out online for the kind of people who say they liked Rage Against The Machine before they went political, and commissioning articles from them?
If I remember correctly, it's the ex soldier teacher in the book who feels most like the the authorial self insert, and Heinlein has him go on a three page rant about why you should beat children.
Hell yeah. Hell yeah brother. Here we go. Hit me with this content. Hell yeah. I can feel it.
Conceding here makes every one of those battles harder to win. That's my point
It’s segregation, and therefore dehumanization, pure and simple.
There’s no reasonable eroding of rights. Plus it targets girls/women & female sports. Aren’t making men/boys jump through hoops to go to the bathroom or play sports. Only females are be questioned or harassed over their looks, to get them to look more female. Plus target women’s sports like the WNBA
Human rights shouldn’t be debatable concessions. Period. Even if they are folks you don’t know or care about.
Hi, I'm a teacher, do sit down. You're the one no one agrees with. Kids just want to play games.
The other thing is that I was on the football and wrestling teams in the 2010s and both were integrated so girls could join either and nobody gave a single solitary fuck and the girls didn’t like literally die so it’s just stupidly boosting segregation for segregation’s sake both cis and trans
