Dunno what the confusion's all about. Its the worldwide, centuries old phenomenon of older men selecting women younger than them and young women selecting men older than them. Logically, young men and old women have the highest single rates. Duh.

U.S. adults under 30 are the most likely age group to be single, with 47% falling into this category. 63% of men under 30 describe themselves as single, compared with 34% of women in the same age group. pewrsr.ch/3jHSFIl

Its always projection. Right wingers are the ones whining nobody will date them and its republican areas dying more than democrat areas.

It's an important observation. Left wing activists are nearly always hideously ugly and unhealthy. The evil in their souls warps their physical exteriors. twitter.com/acey73424146/s…

Nothing better encapsulates self defeating stupidity of American liberals better than fact that they fought tooth and nail to unlock over a trillion in clean energy investment via IRA and guaranteed it’ll flow mostly to red states by tangling blue ones in a thicket of permitting

Rest In Power, Jen. An amazing woman who brought kindness, strength and purpose to every endeavor and interaction.

Jen Angel’s death is so wrenching, and this statement that her close ones put out is so beautiful and so appropriate, so fitting for who Jen was and what she believed in so completely. gofundme.com/f/love-and-sup

Its always these hyper SF/NYC centric publications like: heres the latest tech ceo who figured out we need housing. Vs a shelterforce piece that starts out like: heres a single mom as part of portland yimby who thinks duplexes will help her family.

Im also bored w/ journos only talking to fellow yuppies in NYC or SF and rather than leaving their city center bubbles and interview yimbys who arent loaded SWEs. Its ironic that Shelterforce, which is yimby critical, interviews average yimbys more than pro-yimby blogs do

This article is decent, but I'm kinda tired of the dumb, smirking fake-surprise in discovering that high SES young ppl are also upset that their economic mobility is being constrained by the segregationist/rent-seeker cabal that governs US housing policy. curbed.com/2023/02/open-n

I really doubt billionaire JK Rowling gets royalities from video game sales. The time to hurt her was the last 2 decades collecting royalities from HP characters being on everything possible. Any license revenue she gets from the game is a round-up on her umpteenth bank account.

A lot of the 2020 homicides during the BLM protests came out as right wing provocatures even then so unsurprised a few were on FBI payroll.
Quote Tweet
Mickey Windecker, a Denver “activist,” encouraged protesters to become more militant and go on the offensive against the police during the summer of 2020 Turns out, the FBI paid him tens of thousands of dollars infiltrate and spy on racial justice groups theintercept.com/2023/02/07/fbi

I dont know why so many people on Twitter are challenged by the idea that consenting adults are allowed to do things romantically and sexually. Is it because they live at home and think their parents rules about who they bring over are everyone's?

I ordered her an uber while we wait. Kinda of a complicated issue between a very poor person needing a free ride but also an asshole who is berating the driver's race and now has the bus against him.

Now I'm stuck on the bus waiting for a police officer to deal with a Mexican guy who's standing in the door telling black people we need to go pick cotton and that he should be allowed to ride for free to the court. A woman is breaking down crying that she'll miss her father.

One of the reasons i admit im becoming a car guy is that while physically rewarding lugging on foot for 15 mins a 48x48 piece of plywood and then putting it on a bus to travel 3 cities to get to a home depot to cut it aint great.

The bit about Black boys ridiculing Black girls for being dark is true. I always heard dark girl hate in school from Black boys who were dark themselves. And they learn it from media that always shows dark skin Black men and light or mixed Black women.

It failed because for 40 years it was never enforced untill literally last week.

California uses Soviet-era central planning requiring every community to build mandated number of homes. With $775,000 median price, this has failed. Regulatory reform, not top-down mandates, is only way CA can build affordable housing: tinyurl.com/2u5969ch, @HooverInst

Xenophobic trash like this is anti-American. Its your patriotic duty to support immigrants coming to this country and not act like you have a right because you got plopped out here. I hope a lot more immigrants no matter where they come from cross the border.

Seeking asylum is not illegal. Fuck off.

NEW: Five more Chinese nationals just crossed illegally here in Mission, TX and are now in Border Patrol custody. We have seen an uptick in Chinese showing up, and a Border Patrol contact here in the RGV says they’re seeing an uptick as well. This group turned themselves in.

There are some left wing thoughts that are not popular for market demand, such as ethnic studies which has to fight for funding, but liberal leanings in colleges is a market function (its popular that kids want it and parents pay for it, useful in skills & usually correct).

The right is fundamentally anti education. Voters without college education vote Republican. Not because colleges make ppl liberal, but because the left tends to be more thoughtful. Like every fascist take over, the right wing take over of colleges is about tanking colleges.
