He/they I am, or am not. If the latter, I'm informed that I won't mind. Owns the concept of punching Richard Spencer.

My friends who don't work hospo have terrible taste in music. Had a last minute ticket for free to a local punk institution's final gig, couldn't find any takers who aren't working. Loads of people who were keen but rostered on. (Ignoring friends who don't want to be in a crowded room, fair enough.)

#AusPol Disappearing children from the streets and keeping them isolated away from their trusted adults. Sounds like an #Epstein agenda.
💥Nick McKim exposes terrifying new ASIO powers allowing kids as young as 14 to be dragged off the street for secret interrogation—denied a lawyer of choice and cut off from their families. Unbelievable overreach.

"While they have been self-represented for almost all of the legal matters, information released under FoI shows the NDIA has spent more than $330,000 on legal fees and expenses to fight the family on the most recent matter alone, briefing barristers and a King’s Counsel to represent them."

Important to note; Japan has way stricter laws around laying people off. Actual protections from its government that force companies to do things like have execs take pay cuts before doing a mass layoff. The solution to this problem is not a “good” CEO. It’s systemic and complete reform.

Anyway here's Lisa Duggan on Andrew Sullivan warning about the "emasculation" of the gay movement 24 years ago: "He only asks that gays be allowed to exist within this neoliberal landscape, so long as they support sentimental masculinist nationalism and challenge nothing."
The only thing children prefer to outsmarting their patents is _almost_ outsmarting their patents. The cackle of a child that _almost_ beat their parent in the lowest stakes game of wits yet has joy that no adult can ever know. If they win, they need to explain how, ruining the joke. They know this.

Fortunate Son played over a military parade of obviously checked-out soldiers, marching out of sync to stroke the ego of a real estate mogul turned president who dodged the draft the song was written in criticism of. I have already become the joker.
I am formerly rejecting "If you wrote this in a novel it'd be too on-the-nose". Going forward my characters will perform unambiguous symbology, read lines devoid of subtly, whilst a big flashing sign over the stage reads THIS IS ALL REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKS.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.
