i'm trying to find what they (project 2025) are intending to rename health and human services. don't find it at the moment but it's definitely some orwellian bullshit. "ministry of life" or something.

edit - department of life

sorry, but the notion that fear of men pushes them to be predators is absolute bullshit. that's an argument that's an insult to anyone who has been victimized by a man and an insult to men as well.

having viewed the video now, i initially found myself surprised i was not more horrified. my best guess as to why is this - what seemed most notable to me was his apparent sanity and intentionality in making this choice. he chose the where and when of his death and intended it to matter.

can't speak for the bigots, but as a non-bigot who buys it for my kids a couple times a year -

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. i say this as someone who doesn't shop at amazon or wally world, but it's really difficult to avoid every single brand/company with an asshole owner/ceo. additionally, my impression is they are one of the better employers in the area for people who just need a job and lack skills/ability to do something else.

please stop with the "Just Leave." we can't all just leave and i tire of hearing it. what limitations and obligations keep you where you are?

and if you genuinely can Just Leave wherever you are, reflect for awhile on your privilege, then try to recognize how many people do not have that option for any number of reasons.

sometimes i think this sentiment is only a little less tone-deaf than "just have a baby."

as i understand this isn't about his request to join gt, and he hasn't given up. it's because he asked what happened to the school counselor from the previous year (who helped him cope with his father's death), and wrote three letters asking about uniform policy.

wow! i'm sure the neuroscientist-sleep expert never thought of that! he should have checked with you.

the biology of sleep is more complicated than "just go to bed earlier."
