The law’s section that bans books depicting sex acts from school libraries includes an exception for religious texts, like the Christian Bible.

What a coincidence! My deeply held religious beliefs in a new religion I just made up holds all LGBTQ+ books as sacred religious texts...

I am deeply interested in the thoughts of billionaires who benefit from the incomparably greater amount of work other people perform to provide them with obscene amounts of wealth so they can find a comfortable balance between exploiting workers and flying in dick rockets for fun.

Citizens who do not support the mere notion of government are forfeiting their best chance to ensure a world that works for their shared common interests as members of the public.

People who support corporate hegemony and anarcho-capitalism are boot-licking authoritarianism. They are distracted by daydreams that they will be micro-authoritarian feudal lords and not the serfs being crushed under the corporate boot.

If drug use while pregnant is child endangerment, then society should be indicted whenever a woman is denied all the prenatal care necessary to deliver a healthy baby regardless of her income or wealth, otherwise we'd be prosecuting people for being poor. Oh wait, we already do that in other scenarios! My bad. Carry on!

If you have to coin a phrase for it, I'd say something like comparative minimization rationalization.

I sincerely appreciate that WSJ thinks their propaganda is so important that I'd want to pay to read it.

This sounds like a walkaway hashtag comment.

Never try to do anything good because bad might inadvertently result from the action.

It's possible that they thought the first one didn't post and kept trying. Sometimes you get a timeout error and return to the editable text with the post button again but the post already went through.

The Superman problem. Main sources of conflict tend to involve depowering, fighting another godlike, or threatening people they care about. Over and over again.

You don't have to like her music, but you have to respect her ability to sell her image and music.

Actually this is a point of conflict for some of her fans. Some of my friends are swifties and they hate consumerism and high concert prices and collectibles and marketing that incentivize FOMO to spend more money. They jokingly call her their capitalist queen.
