If the marriage is sexually exclusive, why would you care? If the marriage was open, why would you care? If you’re worried about infidelity, then what gender they might choose still seems like a trivial issue.

On the same day as the three executions, California Governor Gavin Newsom, widely seen as a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, moved to commute the death sentences of all 548 people on the state’s death row to life without parole.

It’s hard to reconcile this sentence with the thesis of the article. I guess the title “Democrats are doing something about capital punishment where they have power and not where they don’t” isn’t as compelling. Gov. Newsom is no progressive, he’s a generic liberal and conventional Democrat. I would say that commuting those sentences was a clear statement of where Democrats are on the issue.

Besides, the pigs execute three Americans every day. I would argue that the people getting executed without due process should be the priority. https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

A simulation you say?

At some point in America, we all decided that gay people were OK. That’s the mainstream, that’s the norm. Bigots had to find a new target because they need an enemy and they need that enemy to be widely despised and feared.

At the same time, queer advocates and allies are pushing radical ideas like recognizing trans people as human. This aggravates people because trans people today occupy the space gay people had in in the 90s. They’re widely despised and loathed and are only represented in pop culture as a punchline. People would rather not think about them and they’re willing to legislate their comfort.

Speaking as a reformed bigot, I had a hard time with trans acceptance. Trans acceptance is not just changing how you think and feel about trans people, you have to challenge what you think you know about gender; you have to think of yourself and all humanity differently.

But people like me can come around. And I believe that one day relatively soon, trans acceptance will be normal and mainstream.

The population of Earth has doubled in my lifetime. Population growth is only slowing if you exclude brown people and focus on countries that 1)are wealthy and 2) don’t allow immigration. These ‘demographic bombs’ are the result of jingoism, immigration controls, and racism; they are entirely artificial.

Slow population growth is a crisis for capitalism not humanity. This is because capitalism requires infinite growth and the biggest engine that sustains that delusion is population growth. Just look who is freaking out about it.

Other people will rightly focus on the evangelical part, but I want to emphasize how important “whiteness” is to the equation. Black Christians don’t do this shit.

The through-line of Trump support is white supremacy. And white evangelical Christianity has a well known problem with white supremacy and white/Christian nationalism.

It’s vexing why Christians would admire Trump in the first place because he’s just about the opposite of everything they claim to value. But if you think of them as white supremacists first, everything makes perfect sense.

My boomer mom cannot exist without the TV on. She literally will wake up if you turn it off. When she switched to streaming instead of cable, the “are you still watching” messages were a big obstacle. Oh, and she spends more time on video games than I do.

Anti-theists are single-digit basic bigots who think they found a loophole.

You see, if the device from the meme was ever plugged in, it’d blow the breaker immediately. This male to male cord, if plugged into two outlets would do nothing.

That’s the worst trigger discipline I’ve ever seen.

ripping a baby directly out of a uterus

Its ironic to describe this procedure like that when it’s actually much less violent and traumatic for parent and baby than the natural method.

Yes, all computer parts should be made by one company on an internationally disputed island. What could go wrong?

This is not a signal that Trump is thinking of compromise. Chief of Staff is an incredibly powerful position. By controlling access to the president, they have more control over policy than most cabinet members.

This may be less so w/ Trump bc he’s such an undisciplined POTUS. But any power Miller gets will surely be used for wickedness.

The last time a Democrat held that seat? Also Strom Thurmond.

Water is not eternal. It can be destroyed and created. One of the interesting ways new water happens is when you burn hydrocarbons. Some of those hydrogen atoms find and bond to the oxygen from the air and boom, that’s brand new water; clean and pure, straight from the exhaust pipe.

One of the biggest lessons from this election is that the trans crap failed, and failed big. Even the bigots can’t ignore that and I’ll bet the 2028 cycle will see many fewer ads about bathrooms and girls sports.

At a party once, I had to practically fight off a drunk girl. She was belligerent and obnoxious and aggressively trying to have sex with me. It took me and her sister to put her to bed and of course as soon as she lay still for 30 seconds, she was unconscious.

Some men have told me I was crazy to pass up the “opportunity”. And some women have told me that I was a “gentleman” for doing so. Which also implies that indulging in a helpless girl would have been acceptable, but I went above and beyond somehow. What I did wasn’t noble or heroic. It was basic decency; the least I could do. It’s literally a legal requirement.

I don’t know why men are so awful sometimes. But I think a big part of the problem is that taking advantage of women is normal and accepted. High profile cases like Brand, Weinstein, Stawell, Tate, and Masterson are good because it pushes sexual ethics into mainstream pop culture. And we need that because too many are ignorant.

Israel’s influence in America is at an all time nadiar. Yet still, some people insist that Israel is still in charge. Their source? Israel’s own propaganda. This is why conspiracy people can’t be taken seriously.

A historic fact about the election:

The last time a Democrat held the seat Amy Andrews just won, the Democrat was Strom Thurmond.
