Why Biden's New Bill Is So Terrifying
Scott Galloway Describes the Tough Future Facing Gen Z | WSJ News
Watched halfway. Awfully sharp guy, but his best advice for Gen Z is "vote," which is... incomplete. (And he managed to shoehorn some fatphobia in there!)
Dark Brandon still got it…
Another great video from Walter Masterson and Max Clark, interviewing people about Project 2025 outside the RNC while pretending to be Heritage Foundation ghouls. Reactions runs the gamut from people who can barely contain their glee at the thought of banning everything to people who clearly haven’t heard any of the policies before and are going through extreme cognitive dissonance.
There’s an especially important segment from 35:00 to about 37:00 that’s so perfect it almost feels scripted (this guy also reveals towards the end of video that he used to be a cop but was fired for being so bigoted it was making his superior officers uncomfortable).
The first 10 seconds with Russell Brand is quite the moment.
I found this an interesting take on the whole Imane Khalif thing.
Alanah Pearce's perspective is unique, because not long ago, she participated in a charity boxing event. She spent a lot of time getting in shape for it, and even she was called "manly" by Angry Internet Men. Which, if you have seen pictures of her speaking at video gaming events, is utterly ludicrous.
Her conclusion, if you don't care to watch, is that she has no conclusion, because there are no medical facts out there about Imane Khalif. And frankly I believe any medical facts about her are none of the Internet's goddamn business. Also, there is a long and unfortunate history of people calling women Olympic athletes manly, and even accusing them of being men.
Finally, she rightly points out that this is a stupid controversy when, at the same time, there is a convicted child rapist competing in the Olympics.

This Is Why You Can't Get ADHD Treatment
Randy Rainbow posted this two years ago, and what do you know... it's timely again. "Thoughts and Prayers" to the tune of "Dance Ten, Looks Three" from A Chorus Line (a.k.a. the "tits and ass" song).
Just going to leave this down here given the inevitable directions the takes will go:
Schoolhouse Rock for the 21st century:
Well I'm a blubbering mess
Republicans are f*cking heartless. f*ck all of them.
The unbridled ultra-nationalist hatred and fear from some in that video is scary as hell.
Really depressing. No one really seems to be trying to fix the issues they just dig in their heels.
This Scottish lady, bless her heart!
This Scottish lady, bless her heart!
It only took me about five tries to get the idea of what she was saying, which honestly isn't too bad.
Obligatory, NSFW:
Is something wrong with me? I understood her straight away.
Why Biden's New Bill Is So Terrifying
Yep.
This Scottish lady, bless her heart!
I mean... she isn't wrong.
The Pain comic's Tim Kreider made a bit of the same kind of joke.
A man getting ready to drive a stake thru the heart of Reagan, while Kreider as a catholic priest says to a weeping Nancy on his arm "I'm sorry Ma'am it's the only way to be sure."
In Thatcher's case If I lived in Britain I'd want to drive a stake through her heart and put garlic around her neck too.
Is it fair to call HR 6090 "Biden's Antisemitism Bill"? I mean, the vast majority of sponsors and cosponsors are Republican, and the contents seem more aligned with Republican party values.
