The Barie’s love patriarchy actually? What is even the problem then?

u have to understand that they only love patriarchy because they were “brainwashed” even though the only thing Ken does (according to the movie) is utilize the power of persuasion and the marketplace of ideas to convince the president, the supreme court, and every other authority figure in the Barbie Matriarchy that being ogled at is better than being in charge.

yup… “oh isn’t it funny how all the people in charge of mattel are white men (hey just like real life!) but also the people in charge of mattel are good actually? anyways lets just leave it there no criticism just vibes”

ah yes i love the barbie movie where one himbo is able to singlehandedly convince an entire matriarchy into giving up power to men. the most libbed up second-wave feminist slop i’ve ever seen

edit: also what really bugs me about this movie is that it sets up the plot arc of “Stereotype Barbie is malfunctioning because her real-world owner is depressed about capitalism/patriarchy” and does nothing to actually resolve that.

Didnt’t he get really mad about his writers trying to unionize a few years back or am I confusing him with someone else?

Fair enough. It’s my partner’s favorite anime because it helped them realize they were nonbinary so I’ve always put it in that camp, even though it’s not super explicit.

I really like Ouran High School Host Club.

I was raised with conservatives (thanks, parents), have eaten dinner in the same room with some pretty high profile people in the Evangelical right, and have been to religious right wing “conferences” and other events. This was back in the late aughts, but one of the most common “big picture issues” (aside from abortion) I remember being talked about was the “INSANE” power that the executive branch has both to do stuff like this and delegated rulemaking (which allows the EPA to set standards without consulting congress, among other things). This was before Trump - the right was seeing the righting on the wall that they would never win a national popular vote again (still haven’t) and wanted to limit the already trite authority of the President.

So this, to some members of the right, is bigger than capital. There have been a ton of recent cases in SCOTUS litigating the power of the executive and it’s no coincidence that the 5th Circuit ‘forced’ the court’s hand here. The grand goal is to totally neuter the executive branch so they don’t have to worry about the Presidency.

The legal arguments are complicated, but the consequences of the 5th Circuit’s ruling, if upheld, would be straightforwardly devastating. First, Jarkesy argues that the SEC’s decision must be vacated because the agency sought civil penalties and disgorgement of unlawful gains in an agency proceeding and not in a federal court, where he would be entitled to a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment. The result would be the demise of agency proceedings if any agency―not just the SEC―sought monetary relief except in federal court. Not all agencies have the statutory authority to bring cases in federal court, and if they wanted the right to recover money from a wrongdoer, today’s stalemated Congress would need to act (it won’t). Even agencies that currently have the right to go to court would have to choose between getting full relief in court or settling for an order stopping the unlawful conduct, which they could do in an administrative proceeding. And to the extent that agencies choose the federal court route, those courts would see a significant increase in complex litigation, with no new judges or additional resources.

Of course, we all know that the executive branch can’t really do much anyways. But there are a few important agencies (think FDA) that would end up totally gutted if it went the wrong way.

Season four was fantastic.

Because the only way Colorado can afford to pay for anything (thanks to tabor) is to do a bunch of tiny random shit like this to raise money wherever possible

breaker of narratives

blindly believes amerikkkan propaganda

OH i totally forgot that Beatles songs weren’t licensed for itunes and stuff at the time. Hilarious.

Who are these people

My one rule is that if it’s a Honduran/salvadoran restaurant, always get the pupusas

There are multiple tiers of bandwidth I can get exclusively for video sites with my phone plan. non video sites aren’t throttled under any plan, but YouTube, Netflix, etc are depending on what tier you pay for. The people I know who pay for the top plans get access to the offered streaming service with priority bandwidth.

I’m not sure this is universally true. Technically, phone companies violate net neutrality all the time by providing faster “lanes” for or access to certain streaming services (e.g. getting Paramount Plus or Peacock for “free” with your phone plan).

The western slope fucking sucks, my family out there says the same shit

Moopsy :3
