My Catholic junior high school library is where I discovered Judy Blume. I probably read every single book of hers that they had, and there were a lot!

So…calm down, Utah. It’s okay.

“To me, the bus is bad,” says 10-year-old Michael, who lives with his grandfather, a retired combat medic. “What would happen if every single bus ran on electricity? It would power out. Our national grid is already stretching out so much now that we have phones. I know too much for my age.”

His grandfather never turns off Newsmax/OANN, guaranteed. Poor kid.

I’m sorry, OP. I come from a family like this and the best decision I made was to go away for University and make friends whose views and values aligned better with mine.

Same thing when I found a job. I “made” my own (non-biological) family, if that makes sense. I see my blood relatives at holidays and other events, say the required hellos and goodbyes, and leave when I’m ready.

I don’t have time for that shit. And I know it’s hard to see people you love behave this way, but you obviously turned out differently and that means that you can do better…and maybe even inspire some of the younger folks in your family in the process.

Interesting tidbit.

World Federation of Advertisers

There are no good guys in this fight.

Musk posted about the lawsuit on X on Tuesday, saying “now it is war” after two years of being nice and “getting nothing but empty words.”

Stop sounding like my mom with Borderline Personality Disorder.

In November 2023, about a year after Musk bought the company, a number of advertisers began fleeing X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content and hate speech on the site in general, with Musk inflaming tensions with his own posts endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Musk later said those fleeing advertisers were engaging in “blackmail” and, using a profanity, essentially told them to go away.

And they did. Now fuck off.

Dammit, thank you - fixed. Appreciate you letting me know.

Very interesting YT clip from a linguist on exactly this. He traces its history and some origins go back quite a ways and lots come from the Black community, which should surprise no one.

Don’t come to the US, please. Go and join your oligarch brethren in Moscow.

Yep, don’t disagree. Catholic school 12 years and we learned all about it, but that they were also ‘Catholic’, so I include them.

It’s like he’s taking a picture with himself as a cat.

They look alike in some odd way.

Clearly a very smart human that contributed a lot, but that's not how academia works and obviously an atomic bomb went off with fiends lined up for the scraps while the CFO weeps.

I’m sorry, do you mind explaining this a bit further? I don’t understand what you mean. Thank you :)

So….don’t go to those churches? I mean, I don’t, but I don’t go to any other places of worship if I can help it either.

But goddamn girl, chill the fuck out.

Edit:

“I will not let Jesus Christ be mocked,” Gomez said while standing in front of a church with a rainbow flag. “All this Satanic and pedophile garbage in the Olympics, in our churches, and in our government will end when Christians and Catholics start fighting back.”

Ok how is this not a legitimate threat of violence? And yes, clutch those pearls over the Olympics. Also, Catholics are Christians. They were the first Christians. Actually pretty much the only Christians until Martin Luther and the Reformation. Goddamn girl just shut up.

It goes both ways. Not all racists have the legitimate ignorance excuse - many just want a convenient excuse to have an “other” to blame their problems on so that they don’t have to take responsibility for their own failures in life.

In a way littering is similar - some folks just don’t give a fuck, others were raised not to think twice about it and so they don’t. The second group can probably be educated though.

There are ignorant people in every group who can be reasoned with and realize they’re wrong, and change.

And there are malicious dickheads who just don’t give a fuck who their destructive behavior hurts in the process and will continue on their path to watch the world burn.

The issues themselves aren’t always the main qualifier.

Just to clear up any confusion - you can understand violence and racism, but not littering?

And if I do understand correctly, maybe it’s because that’s how their parents were, so they honestly just don’t think about it. My parents were the complete opposite so I abhor it, but I’ve known folks who don’t think twice. We’re still friends, I just try to gently remind them.

I do not have any racist or violent actual friends friends though. Like, I don’t actively pursue their company.

That’s so weird because I’ve voted for more than a few US presidents, and yet I’m still a woman.

I think it’s funny :)

men have naturally higher IQs and more capable of leading people.

We know he didn’t do well on the grammar portion of the IQ test. Or whatever is on one, I’ve never taken it….I’m too afraid that my feeble woman brain will become hysterical and require aromatic spirits.

God I wish.

Yeah I was only vaguely aware of him - popular YT guy with younger folks, did some stunts, etc, not my thing. But this is a rabbit hole that keeps getting more and more disturbing.

Never thought I’d see the day where he censored a bunch of white dudes but here we are.
