Ain’t no “may” about it, ya’ll.

It makes me so livid. The same people who pushed these claims also brush off and denigrate feminists as “liberals,” then attacked us as hypocrites for not jumping on this story before it was properly reported. Those of us who care about sexual violence understood the stakes.

I kind of knew this already, but Jill Fillipovic is a hypocritical piece of shit. This is an example of the “feminists” we’re stuck with — really power-apologist neoliberals.
Tara Reade “lied” about her degree nonsense is the Anita Hill treatment all over again, just in a different guise. Filipovic is all about smearing someone not in her income bracket and who might make pervy Uncle Joe look bad.
PMBA
When people are more productive working from home DURING A PANDEMIC, you know just how truly fucked the office was as a place to get work done in the first place. https://t.co/vGuKLFF3xT

Everybody done know WFH was more productive. That it’s even more productive during a goddamn pandemic means absent that it’d be 2x at least.
It was always power-hungry MBA types who didn’t want people to work from home.
Rift Shift
Ideas that used to be right-wing but are now left-wing:
• Adopting things from other cultures is bad
• What your ancestors did matters
• Large corporations can be a force for good
• Some religions shouldn't be criticised
• Academics need to sign loyalty oaths— Noah Carl (@NoahCarl90) May 14, 2020
Strange, isn’t it, how ideologies shift so drastically and then most people deny that it has occurred? Of course context matters but 180 degree reversals are hard to explain in any sort of comprehensible framework.
Posi
Trump says he tested “very positively” for covid-19 this morning, meaning negative.

Well, the contrapostive is that if he had tested very negatively, he’d be negative on his positive. And which in all positivity would negate the negation of his non-non-negativity, which I’d also be nonplussed to discuss without any negativity.
And of all that, I am almost positive.
