Ever since the election of Trump we’ve been subject to Orwellian inversion after Orwellian inversion. In 1984, it’s “freedom is slavery, war is peace, ignorance is strength.” In 2019, it’s language is violence, segregation is inclusive, and straight is queer. Perhaps it’s time to try sanity.
No, there’s no rise in hate; there’s a rise in panic

Mental health challenges should not be trivialized, but that is exactly what this Burger King commercial does.
Consent condoms: the latest technology that reveals how stupid we’ve become
Consent condoms, sex dolls, sex robots, chastity belts, consent apps, etc.—these technologies that are meant to keep us safe actually put us in grave danger. Instead of letting technology guide our actions, we should know our minds, and think our own thoughts clearly.

Twitter has an opportunity to help unite a politically divided nation. To move toward that goal, however, they will have to heed Pool’s and Rogan’s advice to break out of their own ideological bubble.
In 2019, The Federalist is more liberal than Buzzfeed
The Federalist is going to bat for a Vegas sex worker while Buzzfeed is engaged in the lowest form of kink shaming and finger wagging. Pay very close attention to where your basic freedoms are being defended and where your language and life choices are being policed
