@jmoiron.bsky.social There is a group of men who eat raw organ meat, drive alone in gigantic pickup trucks, and tan their testicles with UV lamps, and utterly refuse to engage with their own emotions, but the "performative men" label is apparently for a different group. www.usatoday.com/story/life/...

@jmoiron.bsky.social Can you imagine if South Korea strong-armed Apple into building an engineering campus in Seoul, and then raided the campus and detained 300 American Apple employees who were helping to set it up? What would the reaction here be?
reposted @gabrieldread.bsky.social: O Bolsonaro era um homem com uma missão. E essa missão era levar os militares para o banco dos réus, para termos pela primeira vez na história militares condenados por golpe em um tribunal civil. Obrigado Bolsonaro, pode descansar que sua missão foi cumprida.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: That's not empathy, that's sympathy. When people urge you to have empathy, what they _should_ mean is "I want you to understand this person's perspective." Whether they mean that or not is situational, but without empathy, you can't really engage with other people in good faith.

@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: Oh I figured he might run again since he ran against both Nadler and Maloney when the district was redrawn, but maybe he's moved away or given up.
@jmoiron.bsky.social replied: oh no, the cursed image Honestly no idea what Suraj Patel's deal is but I'm assuming he can't be worse than Maloney.
