Look, everybody knows that there are two genders: woman and chicken. I don't know what this "man" is you're speaking of, but it's clearly not on that list. It's probably some subset of woman, it's in the name.

How embarrassing. Can't believe I'm so out of the loop. I thought I was doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the zeitgeist. Asked some kid what he thought about the latest Harry Styles album but he just rolled his eyes. Turns out it's all about Diogenes the Cynic these days. Guess I'm getting old.

That said, it was built in 1905 and was an active prison until at least 2007

Recently saw an open micer joking about an experience of racism, as a passenger and the only non-white person in a car and being specifically pulled out when they got pulled over, and how this would have gone the same way in the 40s

The last names he used for the other people in the car were stereotypically Irish and Polish lmao

The grooming / protect are kids narrative is the same one used by actual elected politicians to support stuff like Florida's don't say gay bill.

Not familiar with this particular wrestler, so I can't say what get particular situation is, but generally yes.

Some people like to switch pronouns based on how masc/femme they're feeling that day, some people (and I count myself in this group) just broadly don't care what you call them. Pick something, go with it.

Yeah growing up in the 80s I had never heard anyone say USSR and I didn't realize Russia and the Soviet Union were a common entity. I just knew Russia were "the bad guys" in all the movies.

They're not, and that's a big part of it. "Russia" is/was definitely a big scary cold war boogeyman but how your were supposed to feel about non-Russian members of the USSR varied depending on what flavour of propaganda you were consuming.
