It is utterly atrocious that McSweenys had to assemble this list before any actual news outlet.
I choose to interpret this as even prominent Republicans are now willing to admit that trans people are hottt.
When he's the one paying for it.
“I hadn’t met him before. I’m saying, ‘What’s it gonna be like?’ because he was also a producer of the show, big fan of the original, working on it for 10 years."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single corrections officer, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.
Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched motivates them to act as though they are all being watched at all times. They are effectively compelled to self-regulation. The architecture consists of a rotunda with an inspection house at its centre. From the centre, the manager or staff are able to watch the inmates. Bentham conceived the basic plan as being equally applicable to hospitals, schools, sanatoriums, and asylums. He devoted most of his efforts to developing a design for a panopticon prison, so the term now usually refers to that.
I’m going to keep pointing this out until it becomes a part of the narrative.
The strategy of prominent Republicans flipping to vote for Harris is specifically designed to help Republicans win Congress.
If Republican voters are demoralized by the prospect of Trump, a lot are going to just stay home and not vote at all. That would lead to a Democratic electoral sweep.
Cheney, George Will and other Republican ghouls’ best option to avoid this is to give permission to their voting base to toss their Presidential vote to Harris, but also get them into the polls so they can be reliable Republican voters down the ticket and try to keep the House and take the Senate.
FFS, quit giving the enemy oxygen.
This is going to absolutely wreck Temu, SHEIN, aliexpress and an a gaggle of Amazon sellers.
Still unemployed here, applying for jobs that I’m well-qualified for, being rejected without an interview and watching those listing reappear on job sites on a weekly basis.
Gale should be chewing on that book.
I saw a late screening of it as it made its way through the festival cricuit this summer. I fell asleep within the first few minutes and woke up as it was wrapping up. I still wonder if I was snoring.
On the bright side, all these companies walking away from DEI policies make the Corporate Equity Index’s lists a lot more useful for folks who want to vote with their wallet.
For a while it felt like having a company’s name on the list was perfunctory, which makes it unremarkable.
Doing the right thing before/after it being popular is remarkable, and worthy of my patronage.
I live in the residential area within the limits of a large US city.
And I'd argue that these numbers are remarkably good for people in my situation as well.
