This brain-dead take is becoming the conventional wisdom on the struggles of young men but it's false. From homelessness to suicide prevention to opioid regulations to higher minimum wages, Democrats' platform and rhetoric are *far* better for men than

Every few months we get a profile of the "maverick" Republicans who will push back against the party's radicalization and every single time the author blithely acknowledges that they will not, in fact, be pushing back against the party's radicalization.

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is. Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT

I went on a date with a guy who worked at Strava and I asked, “were you there when soldiers were tracking their jogs around military bases and revealing their locations to foreign governments? That was hella funny.” “It wasn’t funny to me,” he said, which

People keep blaming the Wokes for Harris’s loss but it’s not true and it’s preventing a real conversation about how to win next time. I’m not gonna pretend to have a clear answer but you at least need a correct diagnosis of the problem [contains quote

"If we throw minorities under the bus, Republicans will stop calling us too woke" is the same logic that got us Clinton's welfare cuts and Obama's immigration crackdowns. You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem. [contains quote

This has always been the weirdest thing about the Trump As Master Negotiator narrative: He is a toddler who will do anything you want as long as you tell him he's the handsomest boy in the daycare [contains quote post or other embedded content]

This shit is so tedious. "It's not a genocide, it's merely the indiscriminate murder of tens of thousands of innocent people." OK but then surely the moral imperative is to stand against it rather than moan about people using a term you don't like?

Just as in the US, conservative media is whipping up a ‘crisis of men’ as an excuse to blame the left for the entirely foreseeable consequences of right-wing policy. You think Tories are gonna do shit about underfunded education and falling wages?

We can quibble about the placement of each item but the original sin here is the very existence of this graph. Why on earth would a news organization rank social issues like they're weapons in an RPG? [contains quote post or other embedded content]

These people have spent years saying the cancellation of college lectures was a slippery slope to totalitarianism. Now that marginalized minorities are losing their rights — literally the Niemöller poem — it's just an oopsie with no broader implications.

How are we still getting articles like this? The "close cousin" of COVID that the Wuhan lab possessed wasn't particularly close! There's still no evidence that the lab had the virus it allegedly leaked. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

It's very frustrating to me that "savvy" political coverage does not include the savviness required to point out that the lifelong misogynist who lies all the time might not have been serious about delivering on this proposal. [contains quote post or

You don't have to "craft" anything, you let trans people use the bathroom they want and you ban creep behavior. That's already the policy in most public bathrooms in the US and has been for decades. Cis men pretending to be trans so they can assault women
