Look, women's bodies are already constantly under assessment, I'd rather not.
We're also just not obsessed in the same way with the in/adequacy of our genitalia as symbolic of social/cultural dominance, so it just doesn't equate comedically, either.
Its infuriating how these guys have no problem ever policing non right wing content, but god damn "no we won't support racists" is the "hey lets not be hasty."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

can't we just agree that it isn't my fault that Nazis are filling up my platform like a christmas stocking?
I think we've talked about it before, but the amount of human moderators you need to moderate a social network is an insane expense. I get why they just want to say "we made a tool, once we give you the tool, it's not on us how you use it." It's sort of the idealist lazy tech solution.
The reality is sadly that you get genocides because facebook didn't moderate the insane content that was whipping people up into a murderous rage.
Nothing rich powerful women love to do more than undermine feminism for their own selfish interests
This is the thing that frustrates me more than anything else. Just absolutely constantly retorting with the feminist line to further their own power.

For the early adopters, lack of moderation was a selling point
That’s why Glen Greenwald went over there, he couldn’t stand being fact-checked by editors so he went to a place that would just let him shitpost and call it journalism.

Astonishing. As @JudiciaryDems wrote, the Chief Justice must investigate how such conduct could take place at the Court under his watch. And if the Court does not fix these clear abuses, Congress must.
thinking about this again, for no reason
the *senate whip* is one of the laziest members of the senate dems. incredible stuff
it's the thing i'm always getting at: sure, yes, both parties are corrupt. but corrupt democrats *never fucking miss a vacation* or an opportunity to not work. so many aren't even interested in building their own longterm power, they're just here for the country club benefits
things like durbin and markey (and this). or chris coons and valentine's day. or eliot engel's hot mic moment. *smart* corrupt people do the work, cement their own power, these motherfuckers just wanna sit around and enjoy the rest of the ride till they die of old age
for comparison, you can use cuomo. that motherfucker was relentless. totally goddamn evil! but he clearly wanted power and wanted to cement it forever.
these motherfuckers can't be bothered to do even that. whatever gets them out of the office fastest.
thinking about fucking clyburn bragging about how he can be in congress, daydrink, and golf, all in the same day. thinking about how and why nobody actually needs to filibuster by actually talking for hours anymore
there's the endless arguments of whether they're corrupt or incompetent, but for my money, they're both, but they're also very, very, VERY lazy and hate having to work
Glad I’m not the only one who sees the country club angle with this bullshit
Meanwhile in Australia Peter Dutton, leader of the Liberal Party and currently in opposition is setting his party to campaign and vote no to a referendum that would create an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
Despite pushback and prominent resignations within his own party (and public opinion) and some historical election losses recently that have seen the Coalition completely driven from state government across all of mainland Australia.
He has been remarkably mask off about his fascist tendencies in the past and has been cultivating the same culture war rubbish being exported from right wing figures in the US.
After months of speculation, Dutton last week announced the Liberal party would join the Nationals and “actively” campaign against the voice.
Dutton said the party supported constitutional recognition and local and regional voices but rejected a national voice. He said he had spoken to Indigenous elders “on the ground” in Leonora, Laverton and East Arnhem Land, as well as his party room, before reaching his position.
However, local elder Geraldine Hogarth – who attended the dinner – said she was surprised Dutton mentioned their meeting and the town when discussing the referendum.
Hogarth said she had raised the voice with Dutton.
“I asked him what he thought about the yes vote. He said: ‘Geraldine, I advise you to go for it, say yes, [because] you might have to wait for the next 100-plus years for another referendum,’” she said.
“That’s why I was shocked to hear that he was against it.”
It might be cynical of me, but given Dutton’s history I read the quote in more of a “if you’re going to do it, do it now” tone.

I will say this is weird to me, if only because literally the only substack I’ve seen and interact with is Erin Reed, a trans journalist who covers news specifically about trans and lgbtq+ rights.
Substack allows people to publish whatever. It's like a nouveau Blogspot for (ostensibly) the journalists and intelligentsia looking for a space to speak without corporate shackles.
There's plenty of great progressive voices who have substacks.
But without any sorts of standards, it will invariably be a breeding ground for all sorts of garbage.

Substack pays Weiss and Sully like seven figures to post there on top of their sub fees and gives no shits at all about Erin Reed
I also subscribe to several great folks- it’s good that I can get just their content, but I’m under no allusions about who the people at the top are and who they stan for

I'm hopeful that the fact that they seem to actually allow people to take all their subscribers and just leave means that when the company inevitably explodes due to a constant stream of dumbshit ideas and revenue issues, I'll still get to support the people I like to read.

We can swap out Substack for YouTube and the statement is still true, yet worse. They have exclusive Partner contracts with alt-right chuds who are in constant violation of YouTube ToS.

Your point being?
That it's bad that the Substack guy won't give good answers to softball questions, but even if he did that is no guarantee of actually following through on it?
That our social media platforms writ-large are catering to and favoring conservative voices?
