Right around now, 30 years ago: Human Rights Campaign was still resisting trans attempts to hitchhike on the gay rights cause. A meeting with trans activists was "long and acrimonious". The people in charge at HRC then did not want the trans millstone tied around our necks and knew that this was going to be a disaster for gay rights.

What percent of people should go to 4 year college?

Assume the cut is being made simply by SAT or similar, no forms of DEI whatsoever.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

What percent of people should go to High School?

Assume that selection is done by a fair, test-based process with no DEI, etc.

Also assume that society adjusts, accepts 8th grade grads into all jobs that don't actually require HS coursework.

It's politics by vibes. It's nothing but social signaling with no correction mechanism. Their beliefs are nothing more than avoidance of being ostracized by peers.

Rethinking a position is apostasy and death as a cell in their collectivist organism. To them, that crash out is them literally defending their lives.

@fitnessfeelingz If they claim that he dropped his wallet...

Still wondering how it was even possible that the first suspect was some boomer in the middle of the crowd, nowhere near the gunshot. And people were ready to hunt down his family.

There was a most marked recent surge in negative mentions of Charlie Kirk in media and on social media. Something happened there. I invite those who specialize in analyzing digital trends to take a close look and use their tools.

[Walter Kirn @walterkirn]

My military sources detect signs of a professional or at least organized assassination. Misdirection in the crowd to allow for the gunman to escape. Long precise shot from an elevated position. Time will tell.

Be very careful as a narrative and possible suspect emerge.

[Wesley Yang @wesyang]

This thread describes the hysterical fear created by narrative enforcement around the issue of "trans women" (who are men) in women's sports at the peak of the mania.

Makes it all the more bizarre that the NYTimes would choose this very moment when there is a bit of glasnost on the derangements to publish a piece in all earnestness describing the 6'4" male Lia Thomas as "indistinguishable" from the seven women he was racing against, and referring to "word spreading" over the course of months that he was transgender, as if the intact male genitals he paraded around the women's locker room left room for speculation.

It underscores that there are indeed fully brainwashed cultists still operative within media and not just otherwise rational people terrorized into compliance, though there are more of the latter than the former. A combination of active delusion and moral cowardice created and sustained the mania and continues to sustain it within the Democratic party and whole of the Blue Stack.

NEW - U.S. is in a "sex recession," with adults (18yr-64yr) reporting weekly sex dropping from 55% in 1990 to 37% in 2024, young adults are most affected.

[pnw working mom @PNW_working_mom]

It’s currently 60°, high of 84°. The sad kids trapped in failed @PPSConnect are leaving school early due to “extreme heat” aka their Portland teachers union teachers wanted to get out of school early on a holiday weekend. All the money in the world can’t convince me otherwise.

If you've been stricken with terror at the possibility that *you* can't actually bench-press 135 pounds, you can evidently estimate bench-press weight based on bodyweight and pushups (if you can't easily just get to a gym to confirm) ... https://t.co/9HI9B5OyMO

@jayplemons @JackPosobiec @hubermanlab After reading about how unhealthy drinking alcohol is (even in moderation), I’ve decided to quit reading.

Men are born worthless and must earn their worth, so their fantasy is earning worth.

Women are born valuable, so their fantasy is being treated as valuable.

Ok, my bad. Three women or more. But this only proves that women can be bad people too.

[Oliver @theoliverxp]

@BowTiedTrance Just pretend you feel great and then pretend you are not pretending.

[Jeremy Knauff @jeremyknauff]

Nope. 99% of women do not find this attractive despite claiming they do. You’ve got thousands of men in the comments sharing their first hand experience, and all you’re doing is telling every one of them they’re “wrong”

They’re sharing their feelings based on what they’ve experienced and you’re simply dismissing them, which proves their point and disproves yours.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

@avidseries The odd part is that you act as if the future beyond your life has some value to you.

But deny that the present would have any similar importance to your ancestors.
