Also, when she says “elitist”, with “the correct superior beliefs” etc, to her it’s the outrage at the fact These People think theyre morally superior to her. It maddening to her that she is seen as evil and people side with trans people. It ~feels~ like oppression to her to be judged as immoral

There is a desperate mad conspiratorial aspect to it all, like Joanne truly believes it, its not a cynical propaganda ploy, she is rabid scratching at the walls trying to make sense of why most people dont agree with her

Got a lot of complicated feelings about this and huge sympathy for those who have lost their jobs. I strongly suggest you read Mike's article because in the last few lines he nails the context, and the journalism deserves the click.

The free rider problem is the defining factor in whether someone is left or right wing, this is because if you think free riders are a problem you tend not to be intellectually curious enough to understand long chains of cause and effect.

No system is perfect, yes some people might "cheat", but would you rather people who desperately need these things go on suffering so you can be SURE you're not being duped? Why is you not being duped so important that other people have to die for it?

What's the best way to read the highlights of the Kirby/Lee Fantastic Four? I don't need a complete set, but I would like something that shows off the storytelling and art (and ideally Galactus). I've been eyeing up the Folio Society edition but at £70 it's pricey for a standard sized book.

That's why I generally vote for the furthest left candidate on my ballot - because I'm looking for the person who's gonna throw the least number of people under the bus. And that's why I yell at whoever represents me whenever they throw anyone under the bus. No one goes under the fucking bus.

Who has the fairest contracts in board games? TTGDA launches publisher benchmark to improve treatment of designers: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @ttgda.bsky.social

This would be the usual “oh dear, how sad, never mind” if companies like Google and Meta weren’t S&P500 companies whose crash will affect index linked pensions etc. Google’s share price is already collapsing as it’s the first time they’ve made an operating loss since their IPO

Once Roe v. Wade fell it was inevitable. You can't treat women as legally inferior unless sex is immutable. Therefore, trans people cannot exist.

I'll say it's swift, I didn't even know they were dating.

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.
