Like anything, it's a continuum: too much can be poisonous; a few drops of bleach makes water safe to drink, but if you drink a glass of bleach, you'll be pretty sick. Exaggerated masculine traits and behaviors are toxic, not actually masculine. In fact, they're evidence of weakness and dysfunction.

The key word is "toxic", not "masculinity". It's a different category of masculinity that uses so- called "traditionally masculine" behaviors to explain their assholery. Toxic is asshole, Masculine isn't. We also have toxic femininity, but i guess guys don't talk about that much.

The mainstream media used that argument to rationalize not supporting Clinton. Especially Dowd. No one actually believed that he wouldn't go to war if he had a mind to, for whatever halfwitted reason he came with, did they? Was no one ever paying attention at all?

Nope, for anyone who's been watching the R's over the last 30 years, it makes perfect sense.

I'd argue that any confidence he had had his entire life about any of his endeavors has been misplaced.

How about a populace drowning in a "flooded zone", overstimulation due to the horrors coming out of the E files, so not being able to discern what actually needs to be paid attention to right now, demoralization, and learned helplessness? Howbout a communication strategy that is working as planned?

Because spewing BS doesn't require intellectual or academic rigor. But it's a great way to get famous. Congratulations.

"To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love" Thich Nhat Hanh. No one needs to hear that they should just stfu and be happy with whatever someone gives them, whether they want it or not. If I give shoes to someone who needs a coat, they should just be grateful and move along? Nice

What is wonder about is why perfectly good time and effort is being expended by legitimate news-people gathering the opinions of people who clearly have no interest or idea what's going on in the world beyond their own little fantasies and whatever sitcom reruns they watch.

It's also noted in a podcast that Ellie Leonard put out 2/4. I watched it today. It's well over an hour long. Titled "Epstein Special Report: Trump and Epsteins Sex Parties" on her substack.

Yes, I'm sorry, I don't remember who posted it, but it shocked me, so it stuck with me.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Maybe, but it seems to me that like so much of what Minnasotans are doing, her going public is shining the light on the darkness that this administration is perpetrating. She's not the one who should be in hiding or backing down. I hope the rest of us can live up to Minnesota's example.

I always figured he's there, not for his opinions, but for the faces he makes, that are so perfectly rehearsed that let the audience know that whoever is disagreeing with him, or women regardless, is just overemotional, "hysterical" and not understanding the issue. He's a dull, heavy, grimy tool.

I dunno, is that a medal or her dignity? I'm thinking that she was hoping that the price of the presidency of Venezuela was a Nobel medal. They're a lovely couple.

Conway: This man is violating his oath in myriad ways each and every day. Impeachment is not an option. It is mandatory. It is required. It is morally, constitutionally, and legally obligated.
