Misanthrope, cynic, hermit. But still, a hell of a lot of laughs.

Fun and illuminating thread!

The issue of respectability in dress, and what constitutes "proper" attire in public, has raged for as long as people have worn clothes. People who take this position fail to recognize that their own clothes were once the "yoga pants" of their day. I will run through examples 🧵

Not one shooter ever acts alone.

Every one of them acts with the full support and assistance of a political movement that insists that anyone who wants to enact massacre should easily be able to get tools to do so as efficiently as possible, as a matter of personal freedom.

Never expected Dan McLaughlin to come out in favor of defunding the police in order to provide free medical care, food, and housing to people without those things, but I'm not sure how else one would create the conditions he describes.

Oh I forgot to ask how he defines "people."

This is amazing and so heartwarming to see after the absolute shit week she had

⚪️ women are over on Tiktok saying ZENDAYA is secretly a man and you think aligning with transphobes is ever going to work in Black women’s favor?

Ok.

When I worked in tech on IWD they had a celebration where the VPs shook all the women's hands on my team and then everyone stood around looking at each other until finally one of the women sighed and started cutting and plating the giant sheet cake they'd gotten us

Gay people have been trying to divorce themselves from their LBT siblings for as long as there's been an LGBT rights movement, going back a century. The reasons for doing that are both simple and inarguable. It's because for the entire length of our existence (aka "history")

Yesterday I tweeted….

“Oregon should eliminate the kicker for anyone making more than $250,000/year. Or any couple making more than $400,000/year.”

This photo shows why. Too many good programs are chronically underfunded.

The wealthy should pay more.

@CJHandmer So true. And results in some really unproductive economics:

Such a basic human need as shelter has become such a large part of peoples' net worth that they are incentivized to prevent others from attaining affordable housing in order to protect the value of their own investment.

[Casey Handmer @CJHandmer]

In 2023 it's still insane that we've decided to make housing, a technology at least 100 centuries old, scarce enough to consume a major fraction of GDP in a speculative unproductive deflationary asset that we could otherwise allocate to solving real problems.

The Christmas Rebellion of 60,000 enslaved Africans in Jamaica on Christmas Day 1831, was the largest uprising in the history of the British West Indies. It led to the abolition of slavery in 1833 and full emancipation in 1838.

Prisons are violence. Prisons perpetuate violence. Prisons don’t prevent violence.

All I want for Christmas is for us to recognize that every dollar we spend criminalizing homelessness is a dollar we could’ve better spent on housing, care, and economic opportunity.

Say your name is Joe.

You believe your name is Joe because that’s your name.

I insist your name is Jean because I believe I have the right to name you because of who I understand myself to be, and you do not have the right to name yourself because of who I understand you to be.
