Ok so my Instagram feed is now starting to get paid pro-Israel propaganda ads. Except it’s irrelevant stuff that would actually convince no one like “keffiyehs are actually from Iraq originally, not Palestine.” Ok? And this is a good argument because?

Would Taylor Swift have discovered more by trying to write Pilgrim at Tinker Creek? It sounds like you’re asking the reverse of that here.
She wasn’t famous as someone who wrote about relationships. She wrote about God and nature and specifically weasels which are perfectly legitimate subjects for writing. I’ve not read this article but it feels misguided.
I recall getting one of these sex health and drug surveys in the 9th grade and kids were just blantantly snickering as they made shit up
Playboy’s Gen Z Sex Survey found that about one-third of men and close to half of women reported not having masturbated a single time in the last three months. It's not about desire. So why avoid self-pleasure?

Some questions and keep in mind I’m a Clinton-Biden-Harris voter. 1. How many leftists have you met who actually abstained or are you also counting people who voted Clinton unenthusiastically? 2. What would them apologizing actually accomplish, materially?
I think Daily Wire needs to realize that much of their movies’ actual audience is ironic watchers from other political perspectives, so secretly catering to them is probably smart. For instance, throw in plausibly deniable bait for gay shippers.
As always registration and information on voting requirements is also important. Hopefully all these links still work. bsky.app/profile/wild...
🧵There are many elections coming up and it’s best if we help people learn how to register ahead of time instead of just complaining about how previous ones turned out. Here are the details for each state: (1/51)
If your goal is more turnout for Democrats I think the biggest challenge with the midterms isn’t going after supposedly conscientious abstainers but rather making sure people know they’re happening in the first place, the relevant candidates to themselves and what they need to vote.
