It's generally been my opinion that the dudes complaining about "DEI" are signaling their work is not up to task, I've been winning awards the whole time they've been whining and sure, they will tell you it's because I'm "woke" or whatever, but that's the pathetic mewling of losers right there

I want to note that if I have an open can of soda when I'm hanging out at a bar or restaurant I will still order a soda from them because that's the implicit agreement for taking up chair space
At Worldcon, I literally recognized GRRM because he was a chubby old guy with suspenders sitting in the hotel lobby. (And a cap that said "Fiction" 🤣) Also recognized John Scalzi from the escalator because of a) small bald spot and b) walking around with a can of soda near the bar. :)

They lost interest in the Constitution as soon as black and brown people started using it.
Harrison Smith says the right must "no longer be bound by the strictures of the Constitution so that we can save the Constitution, otherwise people who genuinely hate the Constitution are going to destroy it forever."

Not sure I’d go that far. Putin is 100% ruthless. If he felt he got what he wanted out of Iran he’d calculate that a mid-east war would benefit him greatly (⬆️ oil prices, diversion of western attention, ⬇️ western weapon supplies, resources, sanctions). “Donnie, Vlad here. I have a job for you”
