The louder the right screams about how masculine they are, the less convincing it is. To paraphrase Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones, “Any man who must say 'I am a man!’ is no true man.”
The performative nature of it all gives it away. No one secure in who they are would be so desperate to be acknowledged. But they know their cowardice and degenerate perversion strips them of any ability to look in the mirror and see anything but craven filth, envious of the comfortable masculinity of the left.
After all, we don’t constantly question our manhood. We just live our lives, and we’re happy. When was the last time you met a happy Republican?
Exactly.
Anyway, lots to catch up on this week! So hop on your dragon and let’s see what you missed!
Monday: Billionaires can hide in their bunkers after crashing the economy, but data centers will have a giant bullseye on them…
Data Centers Are Going To Burn

Jul 20
The billionaires love data centers. Wall Street loves data centers. The elected officials (mostly Republican but not all) bribed to sign off on the construction in their communities, love data centers. A handful of Musk-smitten tech bros who do not live anywhere near a data center love data centers.
Literally no one else loves data centers. No. One.
Tuesday: Why are fascists so…gay?
Testosterone Shots? MAGA Men Don't Know A Fucking Thing About Being Masculine

Jul 21
The right has been screaming about “low-T” men for years. There’s an epidemic of low testosterone in American men! We’re being wussified! Feminism/chemicals in the water/empathy is making our men weak and soft! We need to return to the old days when men were MEN. When we were tough and manly and and and…you know…MEN!
But have you looked at MAGA men lately? Have you ever seen a group less manly than your average Republican voter?
Wednesday: Recording!
Thursday: Podcast!

Every Republican Accusation Is A Confession: Cuba Edition
·
Jul 24
I have a confession to make: I do not pay a huge amount of attention to Cuba. I never have. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a little nothing island about 100 miles away from Florida. It’s where the Cuban Missile Crisis happened and where Al Pacino’s Scarface comes from. Also, they apparently make really good cigars, and a lot of really racist Latino assho…
