@cmkosemen This response is pretty common when an abuser gets outed, but i think it's a risky framing. We should stay very open to the possibility that art that we love, art that is truly excellent, can be made by abusers too. You can't always tell

@statto + I don't really get a kick out of debate for debate's sake. I thought you were being hyperbolic in the teardown of the article, but you weren't (that is, it's your sincerely held opinion, you weren't just getting carried away) and I'm not that heavily invested in convincing you!

@statto Climate change is also increasing instances of heart disease, and likelihood of heart disease being fatal. I'm counting that as a climate-change-shortened life expectancy, but maybe you're counting it just as heart disease

@statto I agree more broadly - our leaders' failure to act on climate isn't because they're funnelling too much money into longevity research OR healthcare, it's because they don't want to. It's nevertheless true that climate change is the bigger threat to future human life on earth

@freezed00 @dieworkwear That said, women's fashion is full of dresses that look good standing but you can't really sit down in

@SubsonicMonkey @horrormuseum @FlipAntrube @GrannieMandie that's ridiculous. you're acting like an entitled customer to someone who isn't trying to sell you anything. they don't owe you shit. If you were sincerely curious, you'd bother to look it up yourself If you're not sincerely curious, why should they waste their time with you?

@Brocklesnitch people who say covid is no worse than the flu: don't give me the fucking flu! it sucks so much!
