Is Peter Navarro number 6?
Patriarchy is dominance. Imperial and holy war its institutional expression. Biggest stick on top. Oppenheimer renders war obsolete. Chink in the armor. Barbie the first feminist?  Hot babe with a career. Slow deflation of the imperial erection. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and on. Culture wars the sad weakened substitute for hot holy war. Yelping like a stuck pig melting into a pool of disinformation.
Why is it that when a  journalist asks a Democrat to comment about routine Republican bigotry, they reflexively pearl clutch and express “disappointment” and “surprise”?
Seriously? You’re disappointed and surprised a Republican is a bigot? Puhleeze! How about responding to these questions by saying: “Yeah, I’m not surprised at the bigotry. This is how the party has been operating for decades. Bigotry appeals to a minority of Americans and, sadly, it wins elections... if it ain’t broke...”
Who Was Alessandra Giliani, 14th Century Teen Anatomist? https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/who-was-alessandra-giliani-14th-century-teen-anatomist/
A good read. Key bit:
"Obviously, the social networking space is undergoing a major shakeup. Twitter under Elon Musk’s chaotic reign has seemingly created an opportunity for an alternative microblogging service. With #Threads and #Mastodon both embracing ActivityPub, it might not be one platform that wins out—but an open standard. "
Grievance, rage and religion be a helluva drug. For decades the drug’s been peddled to conservative America with fantastic electoral effect. In fact, you can draw a through line of the dealers from George Wallace to Jerry Falwell and Rush Limbaugh to the Fox “news”. Like any drug, overuse creates tolerance until the user does enough to kill themselves.
Right now, we are at the stage where we are watching the conservaddict pissing himself and screaming at the fire hydrant. Sad.
Yes the constant meta (and Meta) discussion here is tedious, and often much worse, but one thing you have to realize is that this is not just a social network, it’s a left/progressive political project. And I don’t know how many left/progressive political orgs you’ve been involved in, but let me tell you, they are kind of known for endless, agonizing talk about process, factions, outside threats, strategy, grievances, etc. If you have a solution for that, you just might save the world.
Trump, as with the entire right, complain nonstop about “CNN, MSNBC, and the liberal media bias”.
That liberals are RADIO SILENT about Fox and the $1B Dominion settlement, which is an ACTUAL, REAL LIVE EXAMPLE OF MEDIA BIAS is as frustrating as my inability to touch my toes due to my big beer belly.
Quality local #journalism isn't dead yet, at least that's the case in #SouthCarolina. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-uncovered-project-and-the-survival-of-south-carolina-newspapers/
Justice Roberts said:
“Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise...”
So make EVERY application to a public university REQUIRE prospective students to write an essay on the way race has affected their life. EVERY student. All essays should be weighed equally to aid in determining their admission. Problem solved.
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
