none of the people calling ossoff sexist think women are biologically capable of flying planes
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 6h agothe play here is to make ossoff defensive by calling him sexist, something liberals care about but they don't. The problem is, they *used* to pretend to care and now they're like "let's rip up anti-discrimination law, repeal the 19th and force most women to be homemakers" bsky.app/profile/matt...
I know this isn’t the point of the post but can you imagine a sadder more depressing job than being chief of staff to Stephen Miller

op-ed columnists should have to submit to an annual quiz of some basic facts about the world and be fired if they fail

Just got the text saying who Linus's teacher is this year
anyway you are subjected to it because you put it out there like a lawyer putting an "esq" after their name. and like a lawyer putting an "esq" after their name, it signals you are an unserious goober who is begging to have this pointed out to them
Outshine popsicles have been recalled nationwide due to potential glass contamination. The affected flavors are strawberry, watermelon, grape, tangerine, and black cherry.
If it didn't have real consequences it would be funny that reactionaries constant fears about how the world isn't fair to America and how we're in constant danger has completely destroyed the relative safety from those exact things happening.
Do the Germans have a word for this? Feels like they would.
play by post@playbypost.bsky.social · 7h agoThe only thing more annoying than when a product that's expensive doesn't live up to your expectations is when it exceeds them so now you're just stuck knowing that's apparently what you must pay now lol.

Also, and the news is finally catching up on how fucked up it is, the officer split is fucking insane in such tight quarters. Note the distinction between the wardroom (for feeding officers) and the mess hall for feeding enlisted men. These are on the same ship.
play by post@playbypost.bsky.social · 9h agoOne thing people do not really get is that it genuinely sucks living on a carrier.
