this literally never stops being funny like dog they made starship troopers with the Baby's First Satire cranked up to 11 and these people are still fucking dumbfounded that the creators don't share their politics

A Modest Proposal for Strengthening Democracy, or How to Win Friends and Influence Elections
In an era where the mere mention of “free and fair elections” sends waves of laughter through the corridors of power, we find ourselves beholding the masterclass in governance offered by none other than the Supreme Leader Shri Sir Adarniya Modiji Maximum Authority, affectionately known as SLSSAMAM. The SLSSAMAM approach to democracy is not merely a strategy but an art form, a nuanced ballet…

The Barbie movie really said. Yes you will grow up and childhood wonder will vanish. Yes you will grow up and learn to hate yourself, your body, your awkwardness. Yes you will grow up and lose your confidence and certainty and sense of purpose. Yes you will grow up and the world will seem a bleaker, lonelier place every day, and society will seem bleaker and lonelier every day, and you won’t understand what went wrong in the span of just a few years, what took you from a happy and secure young girl to a sad, uncertain, scared grown woman.
And yet. You will learn to find beauty again. You will find joy in not having a purpose, in building a purpose for yourself. You will find beauty in connection, with the people and the world around you. You will learn to love signs of ageing as proof of a life well lived, of experience and happiness. You will take that little girl by the hand and tell her “I know, this isn’t what you thought it would be, but it’s real. Let me show you how beautiful it can be.”

workplaces should have to legally provide unlimited paid sick leave available immediately upon hire. the limits that companies that even provide paid sick leave put on it is so fucked up. no one can control when they get sick, how often they get sick, or how long they are sick for, and they shouldn't have to suffer for the transgression of being ill.
"oh, but some people might take advantage of that and just stay home all the time and get paid for it!" if there is really a statistically relevant amount of people you have hired staying home on paid sick leave for months or years on end, perhaps your workplace sucks to be at, and you need to change.
give them reasons to come in to work. make it safer and easier to do their jobs. give them work that they can get invested in and talk to them about what that looks like. make sure you aren't overloading them with too much work or making unreasonable demands. pay them an amount that makes the work worth doing to them. actually form a working relationship with your employees instead of treating them like infinitely exploitable wage slaves.
only allowing your workers to accrew "2 hours a week of sick time starting after 6 weeks of employment" or some shit just doesn't match the reality of how sickness or human health works

Humans are terrifying to any and all that are not them.
Bug Fact: An estimated 25% of the general population actively fear spiders and insects. This fear response may not be completely due to their threat levels, but related to the human feelings of disgust when seeing an insect.

I'm sure the stay at home girlfriend thing is abrasive and inescapable on tiktok, no doubt compounded by female edgelords begging society to retvrn because they have finals next week, but I don't think beautiful gold diggers flexing the spoils of their hunt or teen edgelords miscalculating the offensiveness of their jokes are new or as culturally impactful as they're being credited. The revulsion is instinctual, I know, but these are internet-assigned villains of the week, not evidence that society is regressing and definitely not evidence we need to blow up the world and everyone in it. Stop hate-watching these videos, stop making screenshot compilations of strangers that anger you, they're distorting your perspective of the world.

!!!BREAKING NEWS!!! The nebulous hive mind of internet queer discourse has decided that lesbians who eat toast are no longer valid. Twitter user @/wombyn4wombyn has this to say: “Lesbians who eat toast are not real lesbians. Real lesbians do not like toast. We can’t let these toast loving freaks invade our lesbian spaces!!” IN OTHER NEWS the state of Florida has passed the Shoot Queers on Sight law. “Dykes, fags, it’s all the same to me.” Says a supporter of the new law. “We need to keep these dangerous predators out of our public spaces.”

George's polite Englishness is universally acknowledged, but we don't talk nearly enough about how Alex is complaining and bitching in the most subtle and polite way as well

it's so funny to think abt how the dystopian levels of surveillance and data collection we are subjected to every day without consent, and sometimes without awareness being done primarily for the purpose of advertising goods and services to people. targeted ads that so often get blocked and ignored because everyone hates ads.
just... the hilarity of a vast network of machines dedicated to spying on everyone in the world, straight out of the mind of a deranged conspiracy theorist, which exists to let you know that shoes are 10% off at wal-mart, and which doesn't actually make you want to shop at wal-mart

The Cody Ko Allegations: It was a CRIME
TW: Sexual violence
Cody Ko has been accused of committing statutory rape against Tana Mongeau. These allegations have been around for years, but he he, his friends, and his subreddit have repeatedly covered them up. I would recommend D'Angelo Wallace's video on the topic.
youtube
Not only has Tana's story stayed consistent, but also, she has a WITNESS. Gabbie Hanna saw what was happening and tried to stop Cody, but he continued anyway.
Gabbie has been seen on video telling the EXACT SAME STORY.
The idea that if you lose good will in the eyes of the public that it doesn't matter what happens to you... it's terrifying. People will do ANYTHING to demand a perfect victim.
It doesn't matter if you don't like Tana or Gabbie. IT WAS A CRIME
Cody's fans have taken two different approaches:
1, insulting Tana in pretty much anyway you can imagine/saying that if Tana is fine, then why should we care
2, demanding a response from Cody. Since Cody has been vigilant with his comment moderation, his fans have moved to his wife's channel to demand an answer.
