I was in college in the 1980s, so I wasn't comparing them to my generation. ๐
Primed by โGovernment is the problemโ messaging for three decades?
Mine, 1968, has both โbutt nakedโ and โcellulite.โ ๐ฌ
I think they have a different set of values than the previous generation, and some of it is a result of diversity education.
Maybe so, ๐ but seriously things that were amusing to a previous generation of students can fall flat with this one, which is no criticism of either generation. Might just be the word here.
In retrospect, maybe it wasnโt so inappropriate to question whether we really should have such an overwhelmingly Catholic Supreme Court (or one of any other single religion).
Completely agree! I had no idea just how many of these laws Congress had irresponsibly enacted over the decades. Cold War mentality I guess.
๐ฏ!
True. As you say, I donโt even see how it makes sense for them.
โIโm a virulent racist and anti-queer bigot because I had to Covid-isolate once.โ ๐
Why are you surprised when this is the university that prides itself on lecturing Black and queer students to coddle bigotry?
You failing to make your point is not me missing your point.
I didnโt. In fact, Iโve even voted for every Democrat who has coddled and endorsed bigotry against me, starting with Michael Dukakis. I also remember the arrogant contempt of people like you every time a queer questioned being thrown overboard. Good luck with student-punching. Itโs so effective.
Oh, never mind. Another โEverything I donโt like is antisemitism.โ ๐
What you screamed was shut up and get over the Democratic Partyโs obsession with funding genocide, instead of screaming at the Democratic Party to end its obsession with funding genocide. I remember you people treating queers with the same contempt year ago if we questioned being thrown overboard.
Tell it to the brilliant strategists who wouldnโt even allow one Palestinian to speak at the convention and forbade Harris from making any break from Bidenโs extremism, the same ones who still just sabotaged an anti-genocide resolution at the DLC meeting. But, sure, punch students some more.
For those of us of a certain age, more like a Sun City on the Mediterranean. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Cit...
I canโt hear him over his own mouthy anti-queer bigotry.
*straight white women and men.
*straight white voters.
Bad name. Sounds like anti-trans crusaders.
It couldnโt be any trashier if he added a stripper pole.
You do realize youโre talking about Schumer and Jeffries here, right? Good luck.
Iโm not sure how @nytpitchbot.bsky.social stays in business these days!
Plus, realize that the officerโs Black identity is far from irrelevant. For white supremacists, his shooting her triggers the longstanding tropes about โprotectingโ white women from supposed โbrutalizationโ by Black men.
Agree completely! Thereโs an additional dimension. Her fans will retort that โthe leftโ honors Black men killed by police. The difference, of course, is straight white women arenโt especially vulnerable to police killings because of bias.
Maybe true in general, but youโre giving Maher too much credit here. Whatever the words sound like, if itโs about Mamdani, itโs all about Maherโs genocidal anti-Muslim bigotry.
Your point is a good one more generally. Itโs an unforced error that self-identified socialists are fixated on making. But when it comes to Maher, it all about his bigotry.
If Maher didnโt have that to use, he would use something else because this is all about Maher being a genocidal anti-Muslim bigot.
Anything negative Maher says about Mamdani is explained by one fact: Maher is genocidal anti-Muslim bigot.
He especially despises Muslims.
Hate, not fear.
Everything Maher says about Mamdani is explained by the fact that heโs a raving anti-Muslim and pro-genocide bigot.
Bill Maher is a raving bigotโboth Muslim-hating and trans-hating.

But *which* Star Trek!? ๐
And if calling it out crosses her โboundary,โ then her โboundaryโ is self-serving bigotry.
I dared suggest that gay men sometimes encounter worse subordination than lesbians. That triggered her because sheโs in a subset of straight white women who have decided that no f*ggot who is white and male has any meaningful experience of subordination. Itโs clueless, homophobic, and repellent.
Didnโt she only falsely accuse him of hitting on her or whistling at her? The word โharassmentโ gives the white supremacists too much credit.
Which other racist traitors do they celebrate?
Heโs also a narcissistic sociopathic imbecile concerned only about being praised and glorified. Because apparently he had the worldโs most incompetent and loathsome parents.
Have you tried cooking Ethiopian dishes? We used to live in DC and loved the neighborhood places. Without any in upstate NY, we had to resort to DIY! Itโs kind of fun/challenging, but doable.
Thank you for being a true ally and fierce mom!
No, I did not think that at all. This is a straight white woman tactic. Proclaims that she can speak authentically to subordination while erasing the gay manโs queerness so she can tell him that he cannot, lumps him with the very group that is his chief brutalizer, and belittles his subordination.
I had already withdrawn from the conversation. I know exactly what she was doing. Queer erasure as a bullying tactic.
Now tone policing if I dare object to you deliberately erasing my queer identity when bullying me into silence about queer identity. You can take that homophobia right back to the 2020 primaries when it was nonstop from straight white women wallowing entitlement.
A conversation about how gender and sexuality intersects in a more complicated way? An ally would not erase my queer identity to try to bully me when Iโm taking about my own damn identity. Maybe a White heterosexual should stop shouting down a gay man about sexuality.
Sorry if that reply was more curt than I meant.
Okay, no discussion of sexuality and gender then.
I agreed and agree with that.
Maybe just to the extent that American feminists (cishet) aren't crusading against trans people at what seems like a surprisingly high rate in the UK? (Or are they, but I've missed it?)
Seems correct about race and gender. I'm not sure it quite explains intersection of gender and sexuality. Definitely ways gay men suffer less than lesbian women, but there are also situations where it seems the reverse. There can be a special fury from straight men toward gay men, esp in male spaces
And you just proved mine. Congrats on running interference for hate speech, "ally."
You left out the part where Sykes spews hate speech.
They're certainly won't be running interference for Israeli mass killing, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes the way Ken Martin is, and they won't support a party that does it either.
Fuck off with your standard-issue diversionary bullshit, party hack. P.S. Spitting a misogynistic slur isn't the big power play you think it is.
If this is the best you do when DC is occupied by a fascist, it's no wonder no one is giving you money. By all means, keep spamming my phone all day. That'll sure open my wallet.
That the DNC is currently killing a resolution to call for an end to US subsidizing of it.
This is what you choose to highlight while DC is occupied and the Fed is under attack?

No more money for you. bsky.app/profile/perr...
When youโve spent most of your life supporting the virulent bigotry of the Republican Party, you donโt get to lecture a piss ant on โpurityโ and โvictimhoodโ with your toxic right-wing hole.
I stopped reading when you spat โpurityโ and โtheir own infinite sense of victimhoodโ at trans kids and their parents. Go back to the GOP.
White people discuss companyโs effort to diversify its customer base beyondโฆwhite people.
Just earned yourselves an unfollow. So glad I ended 25 years of funding you as a subscriber.
You omitted that Rahm tried to scapegoat queers for the 1994 midterm fiasco and tried to conceal the facts of a police shooting of Laquan McDonald in 2014.
Because John Roberts.
Get a psychiatrist, wacko.
Spitting โmoronsโ in Democratsโ faces is truly shrewd outreach. ๐
They both do. You just like theirs.
All primed and ready to adopt Targetโs repudiation of diversity. apnews.com/article/demo...
Good luck adopting Targetโs position on diversity. apnews.com/article/demo...
No, you just roll over and wail โdistractionโ as he occupies DC with Confederates.
Ask the lesbian about Trumpโs attack on her marriage and rights.
That place wouldnโt look any trashier if he put a stripper pole in there.
apnews.com/article/demo...
Careful, @kenmartin.bsky.social wants the party to adopt Targetโs messaging on diversity. Youโre not supposed to mention any issue that doesnโt fawn over straight white men.
His โplanโ is to coddle Trump, coddle Netanyahu, and mimic Target on diversity. apnews.com/article/demo...
Coddling Trump, coddling Netanyahu, and mimicking Target sure as hell wonโt open my queer wallet. What a piss poor excuse for an opposition party! apnews.com/article/demo...

Bigot
That โWe showโ sentence has two typos. More likely to โturn outโ and perceive as โideologically extreme.โ
Congrats on endorsing his anti-trans bigtory.
They certainly can spring into action if Bill Ackman wants the partyโs NYC mayoral nominee attacked, though. ๐
True, but it is surprising to learn how irresponsible Congress has been for decades in adding all these emergency provisions to the US Code.

And when John Roberts selectively forgets separation of powers.
Demanding anti-queer policies to settle antisemitism claims is also quite the cartoonish abuse of power.
In theory. Unfortunately, this Supreme Court is aggressive in pulling cases up to its docket and stopping lower courts from even trying.
As one whose sexuality and marriage were literally banned, I think you seriously need to get over this cartoonish self-pity.
Most racist Chief Justice since Taney?
Just as long as youโre not hiring a raving anti-queer bigot to advise you on diversity. www.advocate.com/news/meta-ro...
Itโs a good example of how rationalizing bigotry tends to stray into incoherence. A gay man should well understand that. I do!
โLGBโ is not a thing, no matter how much heterosexual bigots and their queer sycophants try to make it one.
It apparently made him so self-loathing that he thinks the rights of queers are automatically overridden by the rights of straights because theyโre the majority. Internalized bigotry should be treated, not celebrated.
No, thanks. Since I donโt agree with your outlandishly bigoted opinion that the rights of straights automatically override the rights of queers because of sheer numbers divorced from any substantive analysis, I canโt imagine why Iโd read even one of your books, let alone slog though four of them.
The surging anti-queer bigotry in the UK is as disgusting as Trumpism in the USโand identical in substance. Oh, dear, did I โbullyโ you by not fawning over you enough?
Especially if the LLM incorporates your bigoted view that the rights of straight people always automatically override the rights of queers because there are more straight people.
Announcing that the rights of straight people automatically override the rights of queer people because there are more straight people is not any kind of โallyship.โ Itโs pure unadulterated bigotry. You need to reassess your fraudulent self-image as an โally,โ and your intellectual competence.
