it's cool that Bill Gates' own wife thought the Epstein Files stuff was bad enough that she divorced him, but for the Thought Leaders he's still a guy in perfectly good standing

Yep. warmth, politeness & de-escalating skills are survival mechanisms. then you don’t get taken as seriously. But if you are colder, you get taken seriously but are considered to be lacking interpersonal skills. And if you just live life without centering any men, some get upset, persistent & scary

The message was strong at Matieres Fecales Spring/Summer 2027. What a powerful show. Denouncing the abuse of power, America's corruption, the influence that balding, white men have on the rest of the world... simply incredible.

To people who don’t believe that Kermit the Frog is real: What is the basis for your morality? Where does your moral standard come from?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I know there’s a savvy take that being attached to the east wing or the kennedy center is a sort of west wing lame-o attachment to the symbols of power and on the other hand he fucking bulldozed our collective property

For real!! Comedian Micky Overman says it like it is. Generally the only people even entertaining the thought of evil AGI are men. Women are too busy fixing the ACTUAL problems of AI, like idk, the way it automates, reproduces and exacerbates misogyny and makes all our lives worse...

Annie Andrews: "What she [Darline Graham] said there was that her healthcare plan is, 'you should work hard until you die' ... I believe Darline's parents deserved better."

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially

The administration is now censoring Stars & Stripes, a newspaper owned by the Department of Defense, for being too woke* *reporting on the suffering of the dependents of U.S. soldiers abroad due to Trump's war with Iran

As you can tell from this short thread, Korte is a pro, and some national MSM outlet ought to pick her up and get her back in print, pronto. You'd get a lot of great stories, and you'd drive Hegseth bananas.

Much as I hate to give Kanter the time, nobody here will support him anyway. Sky players kept Tasha away from him

What is being ridiculed here as “Woke 1” is a discursive environment wherein racism/misogyny/transphobia were largely considered beyond the pale. The right, out of fear and rage, fought back to reclaim space for that mode of speech. This is a complete surrender to their terms.

I like AOC, but her making light of Woke 1 is basically her saying, "We all went too far," and it's giving the worst chuds a space to mock social justice. If Woke 1 went too far, why are we living in this current environment? They should be saying we were right and we want to go further.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.
