@postoctobrist To me this reads as “fatness must be eliminated wherever it appears” so they’re forcing a drug on the poor to sell to the rich who already invest heavily in weight loss pharmaceuticals and surgeries. I guess idk as much re the UK but the US has a strong fat exterminationist bent
@connoramulhern @RottenInDenmark Even if they were, cousin is like, not an inherently close relationship? Like I know my aunts’ kids but I don’t know my mom’s cousins’ kids at all for instance
One reason Harris is tracking right, aside from the fact she’s just generally conservative, is that any attempt to build progressive campaign themes would have to address the 8000lb elephant of her “iron clad” support for an ongoing genocide which she obviously can’t and won’t do

@WyoFile The version of UW he is bringing is one where you must stick to the realm of uncontroversial speech in support of mass death, racism, and American hegemony or risk getting shot. Exactly like the legislators want.
@WyoFile Ed is currently facilitating a narrowing of speech and study on campus. He is facilitating the destruction of protections for vulnerable staff, students, and faculty. And he’s considering allowing weapons on campus.
@jessiegender Good news: the police chasing you will break down and fewer of them will still possess fingers to pull triggers with after owning these for a few months.
