Did my morning run on the Mall, and I can report that the $13M renovated reflecting pool looks about the same. 🤷🏾♂️

@daniel_dsj2110 looks to see if there's an interesting perspective in a new article on sex and dating
once again, we find that the problem is society hasn't adopted enough of the author's left-wing politics
ok then

It's literally the opposite. now trans people are absolutely everywhere, where as even 10 years ago, you'd almost never see someone obviously trans in public outside of a few major cities. Now I go to a brewery in a rural area at 1 pm on a Saturday, filled with kids and families, and get to see 2 six foot dudes with tiny boobs in bras and sparkly booty shorts. They're literally there dressed like that to get off on the attention and disgust.
English
Maybe I am an old fogey, but it really feels like the opposition to and demonization of trans people in the United States happened at such a rapid clip. And it feels like a big part of it is due to the fact most people don't know a transgender person in their daily lives.

According to Sarah Jones: “Heterosexual women are not okay. Probably they never have been. At least, that’s the story I keep reading online, where the worst of the worst tend to mingle. Boyfriends are embarrassing and dating is harder than ever because men won’t commit and do chores. If a woman does marry, her husband might end up hating her, based on the stories that flood Reddit each Mother’s Day. He might try an alpine divorce and leave her to die on a mountaintop. My friends are exhausted by the apps, and for many, the mere act of dating men can still feel like a risk, if only an emotional one.” nymag.com/intelligencer/…?

@centristpeater before 2008, every state in America had at least one "sundown town" where young fertile women were mercilessly hunted for sport by handsome billionaires after dark. sick society, we won't go back!

i have no interest whatsover in fighting Israel's wars or paying for them as they are not in American interests, but believing hook line and sinker either
a) the global leftist palestinian liberation narrative OR
b) the never ending sob story from the palestinian people who do not want or seek peace
shows you don't know much.

@TheeRespecter Idk i think ppl mostly dont want ppl occupying and invading their land, killing their children, and disenfranchising them legally but what do I know

Far left ideology's major goal is to make the world a worse place now. It is by its nature destructive. The rosiest picture you can give of it is "burn the world down, start over from zero, and create utopia." In the meantime, it attracts people who, because they are angry at themselves, their parents, their station in life, etc, want other people to hurt as much as they're hurting inside.
There is no need to square the circle of fundamentalist Islam, no police, legal drugs, trans children and so on, as they are all means of destruction and thus fit perfectly together as pieces of a puzzle. There is no hypocrisy or contradiction, all "liberation" leftism is quite neat and coherent.

The way I think about it is that Democrats could move _all_ their policies in a more Palestinian nationalist direction — there's not a lot of "violence interruptors" and safe injection sites in Ramallah. Very traditional understanding of who plays on the girls' soccer team.

Call: Keiko Fujimori has carried Miami-Dade County, and with it, the Presidency of Peru.
She’s currently only trailing by 48,000 votes and the United States alone will make up almost that entire deficit by itself.
Political Election Projections@tencor_7144
Massive margin in Miami, USA puts Fujimori in driver's seat to overtake Sanchez Fujimori: 9,310 (88.8%) Sanchez: 1,175 (11.2%)

he does not want to finish the job, because that would require a ground war he was told would be unnecessary. an incredibly unpopular ground war launched by an incredibly unpopular president in a super divided country would be his entire legacy and it would be viewed negatively, almost universally.
English
@jawillick Democrat appeasement of Iran demonstrated that LONG ago. Thankfully, we have Trump for a while. He needs to finish the job.
English
Trump has actually eroded deterrence vis Iran long term because future presidents are going to look at this political price and not pay it again.

What’s going on in the south? Why are the women stunning while the men are fat or look like they have syndromes?

We need a reality dating show called "Average SEC Couples" that's just 15 Average Joe's from the South wooing 15 gorgeous women with generational wealth.

@MemeProMolerat @ChristianHeiens well we have the reverse, people running for office in the heavily Dominican areas of Pennsylvania literally go to the DR to campaign

Why the fuck do we have so many illegals that winning Miami-Dade impacts foreign elections?
I’m waiting for the day Latin American politicians start campaigning in US states cause so many of their nationals are illegals here.
Also side note: hilarious they vote democrat in America, and nationalist in Peru

@robbysoave the vast majority of people I know are left wingers and I have never heard this sentiment expressed once. i don't think I've even heard about climate change once in the last 2 years outside the throw away line "well the world is on fire you know" which could mean anything.
English
I have never once in my life encountered someone expressing this sentiment. Either I live in quite a bubble, or Ezra Klein does.

@jonkay no prison for me or anyone else, and I get to be a neighborhood vigilante? if everything collapses I hope I'm still young and healthy enough to get "elected" to the community posse.

1. Give your house to indigenous people
2. Sterilize your depressed gay kid
3. Demonize Israel
4. Replace police with neighborhood vigilantes
I really can’t understand why this stuff isn’t more popular

lmao not this “things used to be normal & good & now they’re terrible” bullshit. a generation ago women were being legally raped in marriages & beaten & unable to divorce their husband without losing their children & couldn’t have a business or bank account without a man co-signing. but yeah onlyfans is just terrible! the horror!
English
I'm crashing out so hard today. I am tired of escort culture becoming mainstream. I'm tired of onlyfans I'm tired of escorts on Instagram I'm tired of trad wife hooker aesthetics I'm tired of the horrors of dating apps and fly me out apps the horrors of men following escorts on Instagram through my youth I'm tired of people referring to women here as e girls or posting photos to brag about how many girls they've been with I'm tired of how transactional dating has become I'm tired of dating apps. What happened to us? Most of us are normal people and we got swallowed into this horrible culture. im tired that normal people can't be normal I'm tired of the Tik Tok advice that teaches you to become a hooker and the manosphere that teaches men that their only value is money and to treat women like a game. When did we let this happen? What happened to our society? What ever happened to just being normal respectable guys and normal women!! When did we let the absolute deplorable low class people set social norms? This is worse than new money this is like... money from hell on steroids ... and everyone is adjusting to it. It has seeped through every part of society. It is worse than hell
English
the academic literature, genuinely, unironically, says that capitalism and patriarchy cause people to commit violent crimes and when you "radically reimagine society" to eliminate those 2 causes, the need for prisons will largely disappear (and community mediation will resolve the few crimes still that occur). the whole corpus of thought around "abolition" is stretching this notion into thousands and thousands of words using obfuscating jargon and "theory"
English
@daveweigel @AGHamilton29 It always converges to one of four things:
1. Prisons, but wokely
2. Actually abolish prisons and let them kill and terrorize everyone else at will
3. It's a non issue because crime will magically disappear if we get rid of evil carceral blah blah blah
4. Vigilante mob killing

He didn't even serve prison time for the previous stabbing.
It's not some weird coincidence that every one of these cases involves a suspect with multiple previous arrests. The violence typically escalates as repeat offenders avoid consequences for their crimes in places like NYC.

NY Post: Penn Station stabbing suspect is Hector Deleon, 51. Deleon is homeless and has been arrested previously several times for assault, including an incident in 2022 in Newark where he stabbed a person with a knife and pleaded guilty. nypost.com/2026/06/08/us-…

this is how men think. women don't think they "wasted their lives," it's not something they'd ever entertain in the way you're thinking of it. they might say something like this hundreds of times in fits of despair, but they're on to the next emotion soon enough. Generally speaking, they are acted upon, and their self actualization is like that: worst you could do is someone else ruined their life, or evil men, or fascism, or whatever ruined their life. But even that's a stretch. The deep "it's over" despondency and permanent melancholy over something you missed, what you're thinking of is entirely a male phenomenon. Women actually do age out of procreation in a way men never do, and still, they don't think like this.
English
It's going to be a thunderous crash as millenial women realize it's over and they wasted their lives

@minordissent gays absolutely talk like this and talk about this stuff openly, especially during June. this is just a gay marketer.
English
This is some of the best anti-gay marketing i’ve ever seen. The person who made this ad is clearly a RW sleeper agent. Because not only is associating your food with poop how you get even libtards to stop buying your products, but the reason people are pro gay in the first place is because they actively avoid making the connection between homosexual sex and poop.
Hazel Appleyard@HazelAppleyard
I thought there was no way this was real… it had to be parody… so I looked it up myself. It’s real. @HelloFresh are advertising their product as being good for clearing out your rectum in preparation for anal s*x during Pride Month. I’m so done with this timeline.
