Last-Ever Global Warming Report Released For Posterity

History repeats itself - first as a 30 Rock bit, then as government policy

I really, truly hate the speed with which our weird experiments in writing and person-ing on the internet have been packaged and sold back to us as jobs where our faces and personalities are brands and we only exist to sell stuff.

Raise your hand if you want to at least VISIT the Land of Boobies.

I think we truly don’t appreciate how much the internet has influenced and given rise to the idea that *everything* is debatable and the ultimate arbiter of truth is determined by who is willing to talk the longest.

Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

there's a pervasive belief on here among combative people with cartoon avatars that any criticisms they receive are because of their marginalized identities and not because they're at the party acting rude while dressed like donald duck

American society is listening to a bunch of nightmarish conservatives accuse trans people of being sex monsters for simply existing and then turning around and complaining on TV that not enough fifteen year old girls are getting pregnant

my take on birth rate discourse: If the only way our species can keep going is by forcing the half of the population born with Unlucky Organs into reproductive slavery, we should go extinct, and good riddance

Just spitballing here, but maybe in the land of the free we shouldn't have a pedophilic ruling elite class, police who kidnap people off the street, and concentration camps?

I am once again asking why people are treating a gradual, voluntary reduction in human population as some kind of enormous fucking problem when in fact it's one of the best news stories of the 21st century. Yes, we will have to rethink how our economies and societies work. We were massively

This isn't the point of Mr. Serwer's thread, but a huge number of white, left-leaning men love to add "white" in front of their complaints about women to cloak their rank misogyny in faux-intersectionalism. This is just the right running the same playbook.

it's sort of funny that white is now an epithet on the right if paired with woman and liberal

don't you see they're killing us as a distraction

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

“Ladies, we know you aspired to full citizenship and equality in the public sphere and the home alike, but unfortunately men are feeling a little blue so it’s time for you to get back in the kitchen again.” -an article, white paper, or book that gets published like three times a week now.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

well, I’m sure that bully was just hard up for lunch money today and everything will return to normal tomorrow

Update: It's not just Nexstar “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely” - per an ABC spokesperson

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

People continue to talk as though having feelings about something causes that outcome like it’s magic.
