There are a great number of white democrats who are deeply resentful of the fact that it is not possible for a democrat to win a statewide election below the Mason Dixon line without winning 90% of Black voters with a black turnout of 60%.

@theneonrequiem What you're saying makes sense on its face, but nobody's forcing any gay man to have sex with trans men. Also, this guy isn't moralizing or brow beating gay men for not watching it. I think you're projecting your personal feelings about other people's bodies onto this guy.

Homosexuals born prior to the 2000s were largely on the left. This is, in part, because only on the left were you able to find people who opposed homophobia. Back then, most progressive people would've seen someone encouraging gay men to engage in heterosexual activity as the pred*tory conversion therapy rhetoric that it is. As the ab*sive homophobic tactic that it is. But we're not in the early 2000s anymore. We're living in a time when the youth, who "cringe" at Millennials while simultaneously regurgitating every fashion, music and cultural trend we pioneered (because God forbid Gen Z has a single original thought) thinks we are now the bigots for not "evolving" along with the ally-to-homophobe pipeline their side of politics has traversed. The truth is, the young women who now identify as "gay trans men" are the same category of person who would've defended me against this blatant discrimination. I see it in their passion, in their perceived rebellion, even their interests. I knew those girls. What I didn't know is how easily manipulated their compassion truly was. They have managed to get you to agree with the likes of the Westboro Baptist Church and you don't even realise it. This is a man attempting to teach gay men how to have heterosexual sex because a homophobic cult who happens to wave the same rainbows we did has convinced progressives in the West that homosexuality is based on gender and not on sex. What else do you require as proof that gender ideology is just homophobia masquerading as pride? Why must I put up with it when you didn't expect me to before? Why must everybody be "brave" only when it is popular? Why does my right to consent not matter? Why do my boundaries not matter? Why? You can't answer that because you know what you're doing to gay men is unfair. So don't answer it. Don't publicly announce any change in your positions. I really don't need it. But nobody gets cancelled or shunned for ceasing to be cruel. And that's what I can never get my head around - that it costs you nothing to simply stop making this world harder for gay men and even then you refuse to do so. You can't possibly be surprised when I interpret that as anything other than homophobia.

@scott1849 @asanwal Slightly though, it wasn't statistically significant.

@faye40k @asanwal And group A did better on details.

Great “trick” to get kids to learn Two groups read the same passage. * Group A was told they'd be tested. * Group B was told they'd have to teach it to another student. Nobody actually taught anything. They were just told they’d have to teach. Group B crushed it. Better recall. Better organization. Advantage concentrated on main points. So just believing they'd have to teach changed how they studied. The researchers' line that stuck with me: students have effective study strategies they simply don't use unless prodded to. So our kids already know how to learn well. They just don't do it when they're told to study for a test. The test framing makes them passive. While teaching makes them active. At @ForgePrep, the highest level of mastery students can demonstrate is teaching another students to competence. It’s part of why we have Montessori mixed age classes as this creates more opportunities for this type of teaching

@ResistanceSean As a Georgian, y'all are really overestimating Ossoff. 60%-70% of democratic votes come from Black people in Georgia. He won because Warnock was on the same ticket as him.

I think Ossoff is one yt candidate that could get Black support. Before Bashear, Shapiro, Pete and maybe even Newsome. That’s why he could be an outsider to watch. IMO

@iavedvanth @ehjovan Girl speak for yourself, I hope you fre yourself one day

@faye40k @ehjovan And after all that you're still depressed 🤣

i love depressed gay guys like theres something so fierce about being gay and sad

@hecubian_devil I just finished canvassing for a candidate, and it was extremely eerie how literally every single house had a ring camera or something similar. All of them say stuff now like "Smile, you're on camera" and "You are currently under surveillance." It's so fucking creepy...

Tbh stuff like this is why I believe—absent an aggressive regulatory regime—LLMs will triumph We’ve been on a steady trajectory for decades of seeing all social interaction as zero-sum, laborious demands on your time/energy/mental health. More people subscribe to more extreme versions of this idea every day. No, not *you*, of course. You’re still normal, if you insist. But the trendline is obvious and has been obvious for a long time, and so the prospect of finally replacing human social interaction entirely with a simulation that gives you exactly what you want whenever you want it, and which demands nothing in return—indeed, which lacks subjectivity and ceases to exist when you aren’t looking at it—will be too compelling for most to resist. It’s the perfect culmination of where we’ve been heading for decades. There’s no reason to believe we’ll stop before we get there, unless there’s a collective democratic effort to prevent total social annihilation.

@leeshakeesha @AustinHoney30 Why is terrible? I've never heard anything negative about her. Did she do something?

@AustinHoney30 Whyyyyyyyyyy . She is so insufferable to me

I don’t think she’s aiming for 2028 but she is aiming for something and everyone should watch out

@goddammitsarah @gammarayghoul Out of all of the sex acts that could be coerced, blowjobs are all the way at the bottom if you have teeth.

@gammarayghoul yeah someone else said blowjobs are all coerced. yes men can be annoying about them, but no they are not all coerced

"there is no such thing as an uncoerced decision" the radfems are so much worse than I realized

@JxnW @JBYRD_Escobar @quinnnnnmm79272 @DINO_DUDE66 "rarely there can be a sadistic element of 'making her orgasm.'" First, getting off on making your partner cum is NOT rare. Second, in what world is it a bad thing to make someone cum, or to *want* to make your partner cum? Do you think the orgasm is unwanted in consensual sex??

@YIMBYLAND Expanding state capacity? God, I love an Abundance Man.

“The City was paying for a lot of work from outside contractors. That was costing us far too much. So we're bringing a lot of that work in house and saving our budget” This is GOOD.

@maxdubler I don't really agree that it's homophobic. Most of the highly engaged republicans and conservatives live in deep cognitive dissonance and shame who use their politics to make themselves feel better. Why shouldn't qe mock pathetic behavior?

I am very tired of hearing straight people repeat this unfunny and deeply homophobic joke.

@Hampton Wow, I don't know how to react to this because it didn't end in some homohpbic joke.

When you in a room full of black people and no one says “Pause”

@estherzelda0514 @JeremiahDJohns Studies consistently find this. Cis lesbian are consistently the post pro-trans group

@JeremiahDJohns For all the online complaining about lesbian TERFs, it looks like they're exceedingly rare.

Lot of interesting nuggets here, but it's mildly amusing that trans people are not the group with the most positive views on trans people.

@cocdcy @christherebooot Good willing 🙏🏽

Men are styling themselves more and more towards the male gaze and as a male gay that is very fruitful to my eyes regularly

I need everyone with any modicum of influence in the Democratic Party or prominent progressive organization to drill this into their skull: “It's a DC myth that the swing voter is a hyper-engaged centrist that writes for the Washington Post. The average swing voter is very much a heterodox moderate — some far-right views, some far-left views. And they don't really care that much about politics. They don't trust people very much. They think that politicians are in it for themselves. And they generally vote for whoever makes the economy the best and whoever has the least chaos in their opinion. So that group overlaps a lot with young voters. It overlaps a lot with Hispanic voters. It overlaps a lot in general with the types of low-propensity voters that Donald Trump has gained a lot with. …[A lot of] these people don't care about politics when a presidential election is not on the ballot. They don't even know a special election is a thing. They barely know a midterm exists.”

@davidhogg111 Please stay away from us David.

There are some true rockstars running for Georgia state legislature this cycle. Tbh so many it’s kind of strange. I’ve never seen anything like it in any state. The state has a really good future.

@DCgayLeo @StatisticUrban This is literally the only comment that actually make sense, and it's one of the reasons why I don't limit my dating options based on race. Openly gay men are literally 1 out of 50. Why would I want my options to be 1 out of 5,000?

@StatisticUrban Why’s this interesting??? The options already pretty limited to begin with. Why would anyone want to make it needlessly harder by imposing artificial barriers?

An interesting finding: Gay men are the most likely demographic to be in an interracial relationship, by a pretty substantial margin. Nearly two in every 5 gay relationships are.
