Childbearing is physically dangerous & painful for women; childrearing is an exhausting, degraded, isolating, and impoverishing endeavor that annihilates women’s other opportunities & goals. When women are free, they choose fewer children. There is no way to make them have more that is not violent.

I think I should make a regular, monthly call to action for indie developers to reply with their games, leave a description, and relevant links, instead of just doing it infrequently whenever I like. So why not a September #ShowCasey? INDIE DEVS, I WANT YOUR GAMES ON MY DESK BY TOMORROW!

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

The biggest mistake liberals make on media issues is assuming the mainstream media gives a single fuck. They don’t care. They’re rich and they’re white and they’re protected. None of this affects them. They don’t give a shit. If you understand this fact then the tone of the coverage makes sense.

"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."

Again, German media are better at covering America's fall into fascism than American media. Lead stories in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: Trump's DC goal is total control über alles. Is this how a dictatorship begins? Trump's propaganda is reminiscent of the Nazis'.
