The left’s power analysis, especially when it comes to sex, doesn’t really involve “power” or “analysis.” It’s just whining. It’s the lefty equivalent of incel-ism and nearly as odious.

Bloody Hands
reminder for people who don’t live in the US: people die all the time because of our health care system. alternatively, they kill themselves because of it, as an old friend of mine did recently. opposing Medicare for all is criminal imo! pic.twitter.com/gwp1ZgVAvd

Anyone who doesn’t support Medicare For All now especially is a moral monster. On your hands is the deaths of 40,000+ a year and a large percentage of the pandemic deaths.
If you don’t support M4A or similar, that’s great, but own it. At least own it.
Dative Case
not everything is manipulation and not everything is toxic. sometimes people are just overly sensitive. i swear twitter has everyone thinking they’re being constantly psychologically abused when really they’re just experiencing normal human emotion. https://t.co/eNu17RslLR

Yeah. Twitter/libs are also attempting convince people that they are being abused when they are just…dating.
Who But
"My 8-year-old was sobbing last night because she misses playing with her friends at recess, she misses her teacher, and she is worried that everyone has forgotten her. At one point she asked me if she was even real anymore." https://t.co/RpDP09kHnB

Shockingly, the libs’ “stay inside for two years or more” idea was never a good plan. WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN?
You can’t just rip people — especially kids — out of their entire social milieu and expect that to just work. It won’t. It doesn’t. And it never will.
Pickdown
Ram 1500 TRX: Fiat Chrysler unveils 702-horsepower Hellcat pickup.
But…why? Why does anyone need or even want a 702HP pickup? It’ll never handle as well as even a Honda Civic and is just pointless.
And yet people will buy this piece of crap for that overinflated price.

The strange thing is how much of the internet and computing in general is built on essentially unpaid labor. Many important products have one maintainer and/or little financial support! If something happened to the project, large parts of the internet would break rather quickly.
It’s a terrible way to do things, but we’re good at that.
FAM
I’ve been watching the show For All Mankind. Much, much better than I thought it’d be.
Spoilers follow.
The scene in this alternative history where the women Apollo astronauts are introduced — so well-done. No ostentation. The writers and directors just hit you with it, let it be what it is, and that makes it so much more effective than the Spielbergian overemphasis and mawkishness.
Shortly after, there’s a great follow-up scene where NASA staffers realize the existing spacesuits are only designed for men to be able to urinate while wearing them and not women. The mission commander, after one of the scientists suggests the woman crew member wear a diaper on the week-long journey to the moon says, “No one on my crew is going to the moon in a damn diaper. This is NASA. You’re rocket scientists. Figure it out.”
Just perfect in writing, pacing, direction, all of it.
