It’s not as close to an exact quote as I thought, to be honest, but I stand by the sentiment that the statement was unsupportive of the trans community.

My espresso has arrived. Clinton asks for more iced tea. I cannot allow the lunch to end without questioning the direction of her party. I say that Democrats seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by elevating activist causes, notably the transgender debate, which are relevant only to a small minority. What sense does it make to depict JK Rowling as a fascist? To my surprise, Clinton shares the premise of my question.

“We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window,” she says. “Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.”

From an interview with the Financial Times

I’d note 4 things:

1. The question is obviously heavily framed as an anti-trans question
2. A lot of right wing news outlets reported the initial question as if Clinton herself was the one who said it, which isn’t true.
3. Most non-right-wing outlets didn’t mention the context that she was responding to a question about trans people at all
4. She never retracted or clarified her statement after the fact

Why subtweet Hillary Clinton on this one? It’s almost an exact quote.

What are they gonna do if Trump gets a second term? Just cancel themselves?

Is there a non-sexual way for that to look cozy?

Seems like stealth checks at higher levels could alter DCs for this phenomenon

It’s worse. Her husband, who is filing the suit on behalf of her estate, once signed up for the free trial. It wasn’t even her who agreed to it.

Several reverse image searches and searches of the text have yielded little to nothing useful. Just looks like a meme someone threw together as a joke.

Me when I don’t get my daily dose of radiation

Just a random guess, but I could see the argument that it would reduce crash bleed into the rest of the kit. It might make it easier to mix the main kit more tightly. But if that’s the case, then why leave the hihat low? It might just be a stylistic thing or it might be for the drummer to remember to not ride the crash. I dunno. It’s certainly not standard. They’re the only ones I’ve seen do it on such a small kit.

Edit: I just realized it’s probably up so high so the drummer doesn’t accidentally kill their pollinators

Reminds me of how high up the crash symbol is for the drummer in Silversun Pickups

That ratio is sad. Elon stans are deranged.

Musk criticizing someone for not doing enough science is like my 9 year old criticizing me for not doing enough laundry. Except my 9 year old may have a point.

I just a put a sticky note in the kitchen! Thank you

That makes sense. I don’t know why I don’t do that already.

I am riddled with ADHD

When I say I get distracted, I don’t mean that I do something for 2-3 minutes and then come back. I completely forget I was cooking for sometimes long periods of time. Even if I’m still in the kitchen.

Really feels like all of these can be true at the same time. She says in the article she doesn’t promote cheating, that it was wrong, and that it didn’t fix the problems she was facing in her marriage. Divorces suck. There’s a reason they’re a flash point for manosphere grifters to latch onto. The family unit is a means of wealth redistribution. We have a system where doing the right thing and ending a shitty relationship means you now have to pay double your bills with the same income and you’re also losing tax credits and sometimes benefits.

I’m getting fucked up on cough medicine tonight. I’ve got this homeopathic stuff that I hear is insane.

I know the standard advice is to wash dishes as you cook, but I never know when the cooking is passive enough to warrant doing dishes. If I stop staring at the thing I’m doing I get distracted and it burns.
