Just as Barack Obama was the first president to use a teleprompter, MIchelle Obama was the first First Lady to use speech writers.

I'm old enough to have been consciously absorbing media when Gen X poo poo was fashionable and cool, but not old enough to find the word "Bae" and the existence of tumblr personally offensive. That puts me on the cusp of Gen X and the Millennials.

The Dilbert Man believes very strongly that Muslims have problems with gender, and also that hearing a woman sing about women's empowerment caused his T-levels to go down. And to think, in the late 90s I actually liked Dilbert.

Well, a Bad Guy With A Gun was stopped by a Good Guy With A Gun, so get ready for a flurry about that. For shits and giggles, count how many of them mention that the other good guy got shot multiple times throughout the incident.

I get go along to get along but that's also why cops of all color are poo poo.

It's real easy to advocate being the change when doing so comes at minimal risk to your own personal safety.

It's election time and the "socially liberal fiscally conservative" people are crawling out of the woodwork. Are they a real thing or are they still just chin-stroking south park republicans?

It's hilarious how regressive Republicans suddenly start talking like the most woke motherfuckers in the world when they try to tear down Clinton by saying the power dynamics in the Bill/Monica relationship meant she could not meaningfully render consent.

Then they'll bring up the Kathleen Willey stuff which is fine to bring up, but if the bar is set at "has been accused of," then Trump currently has a child rape accusation being leveled against him at this very moment. So... maybe that's not a path they should be going down.

Yesterday they tried to "leak" audio recordings of Bill Clinton endorsing DOMA in 1996. Says it all.

I think you'll find you are mistaken. Nothing at all happened between January 2001 and January 2009, other than 9/11, which was Obamas fault.

The models we use to understand and describe the world are incomplete at best and we have to understand that the intersection of those models with reality is limited.

Adam is saying we have to apply that understanding to the idea of the "generation" as well. This is appallingly trivial.

And yet...

I also remember when Obama was accused of being too deferential to Putin, unlike Trump-sama.

I actually do remember this: there was a whole Thing in 2012 about Obama telling Putin he'd have more leeway after the election, which the right wing talking heads took as full admission of treason.

I particularly like this part:
"When a woman told him one time that she felt ordinary. he said that she mustn't feel that way. She must feel confident and feel great because she is"

Trump once told a generic woman that she was wrong to feel the way she did because he would say she is generically good. a real hero there

My point, in case you missed it, its that its loving dumb to be racist towards others simply because of a different skin color or religion. Its idiotic because we're all humans who usually care about our families, who just want to live our life in peace, most of us just want to better ourselves and be free of prejudice and bigotry.

It doesn't matter if you're white, black, asian.... Being told racist things hurt regardless of your skin color.
I'm against ALL form of racism. Not just the color of the day.

No reasonable human being is going to disagree with this on a surface level, but phrasing it this way carries the unsettling implication of equivalency between interpersonal discrimination and institutional discrimination.

A black person saying "white people suck" doesn't carry with it the same social context as a white person saying "black people suck". Both are bad, obviously, but only one side of that equation has had large social infrastructures constructed around the support of that belief, making it ultimately more dangerous for the people being talked about. That's the deal here.

I have a fair amount of patience for the litany of _________sexual/gender identities because young people find them useful for helping themselves find their place in a complicated landscape. I'm less patient of the "_________romantic/platonic" side of things because the praxis of separation between romantic and sexual attraction causes more problems for younger folks than it ostensibly solves.

Some one in the PYF Idiots on Social Media thread regularly posts pride flags for some of these and they can get pretty loving ridiculous.

Stranger than the wholly inaccurate details is the overall thesis that Rome falling was a bad thing that should not have happened
