For the first time, I see Western media report on Gaza without mention of October 7th, of hostages, of kidnappings. It took years and a hundred thousand exterminated people, genocide, concentration camps, & brutal ethnic cleansing before much Western media dared to suggest the truth: Israel is evil.

Did you know weapons manufacturers pay to have their weapons licensed in video games like Call of Duty? youtu.be/G32_rNfq3bU?...

True. Recently been given hope that we can get it back to something better than normal.

I thought as I got older and more in control, that I'd be less overwhelmed and anxious. Boy, was I wrong.

Dunked a rusk into my coffee and didn't notice that a part broke off and was laying in there right up until I took the last gulp and got a nasty mouthful of mushy mess.

Somewhere out there, @granthinds.com must have thought he heard his name hauntingly whispered on the wind.

Hmmm needs more research

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

"Masculine Energy"

Unfortunately I think you're right

Neil Gaiman, Justin Baldoni, and the End of the Male Feminist This ignominious crew of famous men seemed to align with women against sexist oppression in public as they mistreated women in private.

in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.

I've just discovered exercise bands and like what am I paying a gym membership for?! These are awesome!!!

It occurs to me that South Africa's lawyers need to get on this too because the new rules promote hate speech, which is in contravention of the Prevention And Combating Of Hate Crimes And Hate Speech Act Of 2023.
