Interesting study seeing that when smokers quit, the lungs begin to repair themselves, correcting a significant amount of the damage https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51279355

An interview with a political scientist who opines that Americans are subjects, not citizens of a #democracy that has ceased to function https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/1/29/21056925/american-democracy-citizenship-danielle-allen

One of the things I've come to realize as I get older and wiser is that literally ANY belief or morality system can be used as a cudgel to beat people over the head. It's not a flaw in that belief system, it's just human nature.

It still sucks to see 'your side' being awful.

TV Tropes belongs up there with CinemaSins as ruining a decade of media analysis because it also boils down often complex narratives, scenes, and deliberate artistic choices into a bingo card of prescriptive terms and shoehorned "gotchas" designed to make you feel clever.

Thesis: TVTropes is good
Antithesis: TVTropes is bad
Synthesis: TVTropes as a concept is good, TVTropes as a community is bad.

It's just broadening the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index to apply to all fictional works instead of just fairy tales. And also done by nerds.

HRT should be Over The Counter

You may have been told that it is, but it is not. "White" is not an ethnicity.

White is a social construct. Our notion of "white people" is nothing more than an outdated concept, created for the purposes of oppression and division. The entire idea of race is no different, and stems from imperialism. It has no valid scientific basis whatsoever. It's divided humanity for centuries, and still does.

There are 87 distinct European ethnicities, like Basque, Faroese, Croat, and Dane. There is no single group called "white".

But you know what kind of people use terms like "ethnically white"? Nazis.

Manchester is very good actually

hey look its us

My only regret was that I had to get home from work before I could draw this
