This account is for people who are still mad at Emily Post’s great-grandchildren for inserting a “pronouns” section in the centennial edition 🙄

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.

The great progressive mistake was deciding that compassion required abandoning reality.

It doesn’t.

You can treat every individual with dignity while still recognising biological sex, protecting children and defending women’s boundaries.

Empathy and truth were never mutually exclusive.

There seem to be a lot of “they just want to participate” people on here who don’t understand the difference between competitive sport and P.E.

I genuinely believe social media has been the greatest gift imaginable to people who want Western societies divided.

Find every ideological fault line. Amplify the most extreme voices. Convince each tribe the other is evil. Then sit back and watch us tear ourselves apart.

Those who sit in the window seat but don’t open the window when taking off/landing have no lust for life. They will never enjoy the great fruits of mankind’s collective efforts. They will experience nothing more than mere life

[The Heretical Liberal 🇨🇦 @Rob_ThaBuilder]

Its insane how Western leaders treat immigration as some unstoppable force of nature, something that just happens to us and the best we can do is try to limit the damage, rather than a policy that we can change as we please.

This whole idea that "well, some migrants come from places where rape is the norm and so we must do what we can to educate them" instead of like, just not letting single men from those places in is insane.

Being really into baseball feels closer to being into trains or military history than it does following other sports. That's not a judgement but an observation.

Your dog does not need to come grocery shopping with you. Unless it’s a service animal, leave it home.

"Jesse, the Catholic Church requires ministers to use plant oils in sacraments with the blessings of a bishop, so why shouldn't courts allow Muslim men to have four wives?"

@impostersyndrum This is why they started using terminology like “racialized”

[Imp @impostersyndrum]

Race is not real when it comes to genetic heritability, but race is real when it comes to workplace diversity.

@Kiradavis Yes

Annoying as hell imo

[Kira @Kiradavis]

Can we talk about why suddenly it's 'perimenopause' and not 'menopause'? I know they're different things but suddenly perimenopause is in every woman-centric ad for every woman-centric product. Is this a problem of early menopause or are they trying to sell us stuff?

Every day. What happiness it is to read. To live other lives, to know other worlds

It’s a real shame they didn’t get this out during the World Cup.

KFC is releasing a new Oreo chicken burger

The collab features cookie-style buns, mashed potatoes covered in crushed Oreo pieces, a fried chicken fillet and launches in China on August 28

[Margaret Brent @brentmarg]

I wish women’s health providers would stop with all the pink, “inspirational,” “you’re brave, you’re loved, you’re enough,” cutesy decor. It’s condescending. Infantilizing. They’re trying to make women who have anxiety around screenings feel comfortable, but it makes *me* very UNcomfortable!

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I'd like to suggest that promoting child marriage, stoning, halal animal torture, wife beating, sharia courts, and other behaviour contrary to British values, should now be referred to as Anglophobia
