Genuinely upsetting

It’s GRACKLEPALOOZA time again! We have a few in the yard throughout the summer, but as migration approaches, they multiply! There are probably at least 100 here at times and it will increase! This male Common Grackle is almost done his moult and thinks he shouldn’t be named “common”! #Birds 🪶
Me too . In a real small club in Rochester NY. I was close enough to see every move his fingers made. Unforgettable night.
That’s what I’m thinking
Isn’t ICE just going to seize him?
Did you let this guy get a shower in your house?
Got it. You cray.
Didn’t she get pregnant before marrying the wealthy old guy?
We always have to remember that the average IQ of any American, male or female, is very low.
I agree with those who say misogyny is the key. When I think of our next candidate I always think “ it can’t be a woman”. I think a black guy would have a better chance than any woman.
Go, Phillip! 👏👏👏👏
It's just a “swarm of fish" following a duck.
That answer doesn’t even make sense
That actually never happened. I thought it was true also but apparently it’s not
Can we stop acting like any evil thing this felon trump does is somehow ameliorated because Obama did something that bears some resemblance to it?
This is great news, Philip! Glad to hear it.
Rest assured? I think that’s wildly over optimistic.
Native New Yorker here wondering what city this person thinks he’s talking about. The definition of New York City is that it’s an immigrant city.
By far the dumbest part of this whole bathroom panic is that NOTHING stops the true threat- straight male rapists- from entering women’s restrooms any time they want.
Do you think he’ll actually go free?
lol, your follower count makes it clear everyone else here has blocked you. Fuck off, cultist.
Is it reality that he was an anti abortion freak? That every name on his kill list was a Dem? Reality isn’t your right wing propaganda, maggot
So your source is the r/w propaganda rag, the NY Post? He was also in a cop uniform. Does that make him a cop? He was an anti abortion zealot & a gun freak. GTFO, maggot
No Kings flyers in his car bc he was headed there to mass murder. Not associated with Walz, just appointed to some committee. What shit are you trying to stir up, “indie”?
I didn’t think much about politics at that age. They’re concerned about moving out of their mom’s house & finding real jobs.
The therapy will get you back to good health, Philip. It’s a wonderful thing that your wits are intact. Better days are ahead!
Good to see you here Philip & good to see you out & about!
How is any of this constitutional?
Friends & Neighbors was good
But I associate all those things with being a good person, regardless of gender. When I was raising my boys I tried to frame “goodness” with a kind of heroic quality. That seems to read as “masculine “.
Irelands pro-Palestinian sympathies are a natural outgrowth or Irelands own traumatic history. That makes sense. What does NOT make sense is how the traumatic history of the Jews led to their current genocide of the Palestinian people.
When I listen to them I mostly hear “we want to go back to when everyone listened to only us & we were in charge of everything.” How do we deal with that?
What was promised to them? So much of this sounds like negligent parenting. I’m not sure politics can address it. A violent anti intellectual culture has created a generation of hostile but useless males.
How is education terrible for lads? Worse than it was? Sounds more like a parenting failure to me . Stop raising boys as if we were living a century ago.
Because women are more likely to be first offenders & also they have a lower recidivism rate
Crazy Bob says they just have to do more pushups
While Trump is slashing Medicare, garnishing wages for student loans, and denying FEMA aid to states that voted for him… He’s also: • Charging $1M to join Mar-a-Lago • Hosting $1M-a-plate crypto dinners • Pocketing $394M from his meme coin • Turning his golf clubs into luxury pay-to-play scams
No he didn’t. Begone, maggot.
Kids are encountering explicit often violent porn way too young now. I think average 1st exposure for boys is age 10. I think it’s intuitive that it’s warping their perceptions of sex.
Now you’re saying I need brain surgery. 🤦♀️ Good luck spinning your wheels.
No I didn’t. I suggested giving grace to people of good faith who are on your side. I understand the rhetorical criticism. I’m trying to remind you that many other good people don’t. You don’t want to hear it. Got it. Are we done?
Where did I speak as an expert on the lives of trans ppl? Look you shamed me & shut me up. Congrats on advancing the dialogue.
So nobody but trans people can discuss this issue that has become a major political influence. Seems like a dead end but ok. Peace out.
So in a time when trans people are being brutally persecuted, the important thing is to micro manage the language used by true allies, making sure they’re afraid to speak. Got it.
I’m not getting hysterical over it. I’m just trying to think a little more along the lines of not alienating allies by being overly persnickety. I understand that language matters. But policing language is alienating.
Does nitpicking something as good as this really help?
You’ve satisfied yourself that there are comments that can be construed as insulting boys (even though they’re referencing how boys are raised). So basically you’re just here to whine.
I raised 2 boys both of whom now have boys of their own. Lots of different personalities, given that all boys (& girls) are unique individuals. All do/did well in school. The reason: education is TOP priority. No blaming teachers. No whining. How about that?
All kids benefit from some physical activity, not just boys. That’s why schools nowadays have far more activity during the day then they did back in the day when boys surpassed girls. It’s not near that simple. How many kids have you raised?
Yeah I couldn’t understand him anyway. He sounded drunk.
Women are not seen as “the ones getting screwed” unless the “space” has a large contingent of people who hold the belief that women exist solely for the pleasure & convenience of men. If so, wo is inevitable.
Dude you see women as a monolith, not as human beings. You’re irrelevant to this discussion.
How to make “left leaning spaces “( which is what, exactly?) more welcoming to young men? Especially the kind of young men currently drawn to the manosphere. Specific examples, please.
No one is insulting children. Are you extending “boys” to mean 25 year old grown men?
Such as…what?
What do you think schools should do? You seem to have given this a lot of thought yet have zero constructive suggestions other than “other people should do something.”
Please explain what the everliving hell this is supposed to mean.
Please be specific. What do you suggest?
So you think “society” should fix the problem? You find that more specific & practical than “parents”? Do you mean government? Under theMAGA thugs? I shudder to think what that would entail.
I don’t see boys being insulted. I see the adults responsible for their welfare & upbringing being insulted.
It’s not that there’s no empathy for boys - as in, children. It’s a call for adult males to step up & model some decency, for parents to proactively raise their boys for the world they actually live in.
What about raising boys to have some CHARACTER? Arm them with defenses against the degeneracy of the manosphere.
Notably you assign “living in their imaginations” as an intrinsic female trait, but boys are “taught” to DO. Leaving aside how silly that is, given that girls are DOING more than boys, doesn’t that imply boys can be taught differently?
Given that we overcame those, at least partially, it could feel hopeful that we’ll overcome this too. Though it feels different, I think because it involves the full power of the presidency. And well beyond.
It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts
I hope you are feeling better & home soon, Philip.
What the hell are we sacrificing FOR?
When I was an 11 year old baby girl, all I wished for were 250 pencils! 😭
We need to hear from many more.
Will we have any freedom left???
It’s exactly the kind of toxic masculinity that they whine about being associated with the concept of masculinity.
I’ve asked this question all my life. I think it exposes how artificial the definition of “masculinity” is.
There are tiers of seats. Trump is in front row of third tier. Zelenskyy is also seated alphabetically, looks like next to Uganda. He’s in front row of his tier.
Are they paying people NOT to buy Teslas also? 😂
JD is an adult Catholic convert who regards the teachings of Christ as woke, and therefore contemptible.
"Facilitate", not "effectuate". Roberts will walk up to the line of confronting this criminal pig, but he will never walk over it. Because he knows he will lose. Trump will never bring this man back. It would open the flood gates to release others & it would allow this man to tell his tale.
But you need the birth certificate to get the passport, no?
Both his parents spent over a decade in dementia before they died
Well that & staying out of jail. And tormenting anyone he feels has ever crossed him.
There is something untouchable about this animal. It's one of the greatest mysteries in the universe.
RIGHT??????
If they do, they do it respectfully & treat his voters like important dignitaries.
Elect a criminal, all you get is crime.
Plan? What plan?
Re: abortion during the Great Depression, my grandmother was a nurse at the neighborhood doctor's office, a general practitioner. She said they regularly did abortions in that GP's office. "It's just a simple D&C", she said. People couldn't afford to feed more kids. No one judged.
Well that doesn't seem like much of an encouragement to negotiate.
I swear, "masculinity" has to be the weakest, most ephemeral attribute in humanity. So many men chase it like it's some mythical holy grail. It doesn't seem to be organic at all. Does it even exist or is it just a fantasy like a unicorn?
They say it on Morning Joe a couple of times a day. Also occasionally, fuck.
Good. He reeks a little bit of MAGA.
That’s 100% beside the point
No it’s not. The person serving as VP has to be eligible to serve as president.
Boomers have been turning away from the GOP in recent years. Right now Gen X is the most hardcore MAGA.
Is cróga ort chun dul go Meiriceá.
Future follow up: Jeffrey Goldberg sent to El Salvador gulag for the rest of his natural life.
I'd say he was more naive than he let on. He sort of stumbled into public consciousness making jokes about himself being overweight. I think his fame took him by surprise.
Settle down, plastic Paddy. I was only giving my opinion as to why the holiday is so popular in the US. It's not because ignorant Americans are enamored with Irish culture, music or literature.
I think its the lack of interest in government being the force behind safe spaces for kids. Who's going to do it? Kids would inevitably see it as lame. It wouldn't be profitable as a free enterprise.
