Ahh, the utter tragedy of the Sesamoschism of 1842. The sad thing is that the deadlock between the Correctly Righteous Matriarchaleanbageloptomistrists and the Righteously Correct Matriarchaleanbageloptomistrists all comes down to one membe

Honestly nationalising the railways isn’t necessarily socialism either, if and when the for-profit companies abandon even attempting to reliably run the damned infrastructure and move to generations of collusion, monopolies, and rent-seekin

See now I see a lot of libertarian-ish and libertarian-ish-adjacent commentary on here and effectively nothing that could possibly be called socialist by anyone who wasn’t already way right of center, but then I also don’t see merely ca

The definition(s) of pornography given here seem to all be pretty heteronormative… does gay porn harm women and girls? What about lesbian porn made by and for lesbian audiences? The idea (from Laura Mulvey) that the camera is inherently mal

One of the strangest moments of my last year was watching Peter Thiel talk for an hour straight and never once make a recognizable point… he literally said nothing cogent, he just tried to string together some anecdotes of his writing and h

Seems to me there’s some linguistic and situational irony at play in the first scored by women being scored by the Flying Swords men , but very well done, that woman.

It’s not anonymous, it’s if anything pseudonymous; it’s clearly labeled as an editorial piece and it’s ascribed to the publication itself, which means it’s the opinion of the publication, and authored by either the editor themselves (if an

That isn’t how Occam’s Razor works. Also SARS-CoV-2 lineages are still much more deadly and cause many more hospitalizations than the common cold. They haven’t magically mutated to be less significant, those who survived have more and w
