Men: I don't care about #looksmaxxing, IDGAF about your muscle car.
I care whether or not you're a #coward in the moments that matter.
You can check all the conventional boxes you like. If you aren't stepping up with us now, you're unattractive. And not just for today. Women remember.

“In 2025, book bans were not sparked by concerned parents, & they were not the result of local grassroots efforts,” Sarah Lamdan, exec dir of #ALA’s Office for #Intellectual #Freedom, said in a statement. “They were part of a well-funded, politically-driven campaign.”
Lamdan told AP that activists circulate lists of targeted #books nationwide.

If you live in Ohio, you will be reassured to know that legislators are devoting time and energy to the most pressing problems Americans are facing: drag shows, performances of the sick gender bending "comedy" As You Like It by that favourite of the elites, the wokester William Shakespeare, and the ever growing menace of women wearing sports bras in “physical proximity” to those who are not members of the wearer's household.

@evan I think the thing with "cultural issues" is that in the era of #CultureWars, the "ideas" and "dialogue" that the internet was once supposed to facilitate now have very real material consequences (disease, death, violence, disruption, state capture).
How much can we hope to connect and weave together bright community futures if we passively welcome the basest, greediest operators in through the same gates?

"The self-described patriots of today’s British right seem giddy at the prospect of outsourcing their political identity to a foreign power and welcome the relegation of British sovereignty to vassal status within Trump’s new world order – just as long as they can personally and financially benefit from being the new comprador class within their own country."

"There are elements of this dynamic apparent elsewhere in the west, in Canada, Australia or Germany. But the extent to which British rightwing commentators have been willing to declare their love and loyalty to Trump’s America has been striking."

Kojo Koram reports on how resistance to US consumerism and its vulgarities "has now almost entirely disappeared, especially within the British right, which, in the age of social media, has been only too happy to embrace the language, the tactics and the grievances of the US culture war."

Bad Bunny reminded us that joy is the best type of resistance, that love is more powerful than hate. ...
Joy on that stage was not escapism. It was defiance. It was a reminder that culture survives attempts to erase it. That love outlasts hate. That no amount of grievance politics can undo the reality of who we are together."
