@lovabler0gue @mattyglesias so when trump dies of natural causes its ok to cheer his death? ngl seems fake
English
The people who tried to gin up a national crackdown on free speech in service of the Charlie Kirk martyrdom cult openly cheer Mueller’s death.
Not randos, but the president.
Not about hypocrisy, about their sincere authoritarian aspirations.
English
@sockpuppet1979 @redsteeze His comment doesn't make any sense if it's at least not an implication. Why would the shooter being maga even be a consideration?
English
@redsteeze He didn’t say Charlie was killed by MAGA, you dumbass.
English
Jimmy Kimmel was postponed for two days by Disney executives because he came out and immediately and falsely on air said Charlie Kirk was killed by "MAGA", something that is already being disproven in the Tyler Robinson trial.
There is still zero evidence the FCC or the Trump administration had anything to do with his two day suspension.
Paul Farhi@farhip
Jimmy Kimmel was threatened by the head of the FCC and taken off the air for a week for saying much less about Charlie Kirk.
English
@QuincyIrons @JayVTheGreat The only thing he ever did that MAGA didn't like was remind people he did operation warp speed
English
@JayVTheGreat So only what he doesn’t do, but never criticize anything he actually does?
English
I couldn’t care less about how the president feels about someone. As much hate as he receives over politics, I don’t blame him. Y’all expect him to be an angel and the morally superior one when he’s constantly being demonized 24/7.
I don’t want to hear shit from the left. We all saw how you all celebrated when Kirk got assassinated in front of thousands of college students. Save the fake outrage.

@carstairs38 @CapNKind @mattyglesias I was born in 88 and I only know about Babes because some podcast mentioned it once
Can't even remember which one
English
I was boring younger colleagues with stories about how widely watched obscure 1990s sitcoms were.
Substantially more people watched any given episode of "The Single Guy" than have seen the Oscars in recent years, and it got cancelled for low ratings!

@carstairs38 @mattyglesias It came on between The Simpsons and 90210, which was the only reason anyone watched it
English
@CapNKind @mattyglesias I was born before 1989, and I've never heard of it.
English
@jfullerucla @HistoryBoomer @TheBARPod @mattyglesias Women are often more scared to openly talk about it and are often punished for it. They're more likely to confide in a safe person
English
@HistoryBoomer @TheBARPod @mattyglesias Women in general are more supportive of trans people than men are. It's like 85/15 among lesbians. You're talking about a very small number of mostly British women.
English
I'm not a radical guy—nor super brave—but the widespread attempts to silence women on this issue helped de-progressivize me. It's why I was a superfan of The Harpers Letter and insta-subscribed to @TheBARPod & @mattyglesias in 2020. The left trying to silence speech horrified me.

I’ve never thought about it like this before, but the TERF wars of the late 2010s were as radicalising for a cohort of feminists as the Salman Rushdie fatwa was for the liberals of a generation earlier. People that you assumed cared about free speech just … backed away.
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett The pro trans argument is that even though sexism is real, gender identity is separate. Those with one different from their actual sex should be able to live authentically
And the pro transracial argument is that even though racism is real, racial/cultural identity is separate..
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett You asked me for the gender critical argument, which I gave. They believe gender identity is either unreal or irrelevant because presently sexism affects people's lives and it disregards the effects of discrimination, and that is dangerous to those on the receiving end of it
English
Transphobes will accuse trans people of being mentally ill and then do the most deranged thing you've ever seen.

🚨🇧🇷 BREAKING — Bolsonaro did Blackface to Protest "Transexuals" She Could be Jailed as Racism is Illegal in Brasil..
English
@leticiaayangalt I don't know if I love Yesterday as a closer though. The Beatles usually liked to end their albums with either a jam or a "what did I just listen to??" song. I think "I've Just Seen a Face" would have been a better closer
English
New Yorkers talk about getting coffee at a convenience store like it's a spiritual experience
Zohran Kwame Mamdani@ZohranKMamdani
nothing like it
English
@Superman0621 @ezzy100k @josh_uglyasf The consent clause is for serious injury. Again, all boxing, mma, and bdsm would be illegal if this was a strict liability law
English
She met him at the club, thought it was smart enough to slap him because she thought she would get away with it. He didn’t react it get violent, he just got her arrested. Now that’s how you handle it.
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett Race though is a complete construct based off an evolution of culture. Every human is multiracial, and we're all related. Therefore it makes more sense to pick a culture/race most aligned with our identity
The case can be made either way which is why it's arbitrary
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett Fine, if you really want the gender crit argument:
Sex is a biological reality. Females have been oppressed for thousands of years by males. No male (including Mark Brewer) will understand the hardship of being born female, and for one to assume it is always an insult/privilege
English
@CapNKind @ezzy100k @josh_uglyasf Your logic doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter how hard is it. Read the law.
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett The idea that one can factually change gender is very new in mainstream thought. It was once considered ridiculous. And it's short sided to think we aren't doing the same thing all over again
English
@CapNKind @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett At that point it comes down to facts, and the fact is you can’t transition to another race.
It’s why even if trans people existing was rationally detrimental to others (it’s not) I’d still support people transitioning to another gender because they factually can
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett According to many biological women, trans women are every bit as offensive for all these reasons. They think it's distasteful and offensive. These views were once listened to, and now women who have them are often called bigots and are socially shamed
English
@CapNKind @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett Whether factual or not I’d happily accept another persons perception of themselves as long as it’s not rationally detrimental to others. But there is a rational detriment on to others by identifying as another race.
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett Again, similar ones exist, justifying why it's ok to discriminate against transsexual people too. But if it's truly about honoring people's identity and lived experience, none of these justifications matter. You can accept people as they want to be seen or you can tell them no
English
@deej002 @RolyPolyFish @LilithLovett You don't have to be embarrassed. I'll accept you as is. Yes, I've seen this put out before in similar discussion. He makes a chart outlining arbitrary differences between gender and race as a way to justify why it's ok to discriminate against transracial
