Peter Village Green Preservation Society
Added 2024-12-20 20:25:51 +0000 UTCFor this week’s bonus, we’re talking about the Starmer / McSweeney government getting outflanked on the left by frothing reactionaries because of their steadfast devotion to water companies being in private hands, and bad. We’re also talking about an amazing recent article about the mad boy king septuagenarian pub magnate who loves closing his pubs permanently as punishment for the slightest infraction. He’s real, and he’s (obviously) British.

2025-02-04 23:34:45 +0000 UTCThis seems like you're projecting. How could you possibly that any individual, let alone all of those things are true for Riley. Additionally, even given all of those conditions, it's incredibly possible to still have childhood anxiety - which is an adverse childhood experience.

Jese Kilmon
2025-01-28 01:20:50 +0000 UTCyes it is possible. it's also possible to have an upbringing where every boundary was respected, every need was met and every conceivable potential was nurtured with special, immersive, self-determined learning environments, and not repeatedly attempt to spin that as a series of adverse childhood experiences

2025-01-02 10:23:40 +0000 UTCListening to Riley complain about his stress levels when he's also announced that he had access to therapy beginning in grade school is a trip. Privilege off the charts

2024-12-30 11:35:17 +0000 UTCThis happens a lot in California and is a primary source of the housing crisis here. The joker that runs the AIDS Healthcare Foundation in Los Angeles has tied up most of the projects in Hollywood (and elsewhere) for years. Good project, bad project, doesn’t matter!

THOSE PEOPLE DID NOT "FLIP", THEY JUST STAYED HOME. The Republicans did NOT win the election by convincing people to vote for them. The Democrats LOST by NOT convincing the people who would vote for them that it would be worth the risk of voting against the looming tyrant who might do Reprisals against them.

2024-12-21 14:00:30 +0000 UTCI was perplexed when I first saw the title, thinking it was going to be about the late Fleetwood Mac guitarist, afraid that the only possible way he could turn up on TF was that some startup was claiming to have an AI avatar of him or something…
Cat Mara
2024-12-21 12:20:37 +0000 UTC(Brendan O'Neill voice) But is it not true that the fact that this article's author has never mentioned the word "trans" on his X dot com feed merely demonstrates the power of the wokist Wahabbists of Wolverhampton to enforce a stultifying omertà on this issue? Indeed, his silence speaks volumes. As the great theorist of liberal capitalism George Orwell once wrote in his masterful tirade against cancel culture, Animal Farm, "the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which", which surely must be interpreted as a broadside against the trend of men identifying as pigs and vice versa.
