And the people who use the terms you object to would say the EXACT same thing. I can understand being mad at scolds who run around insisting that everyone has to use new terms. But there's not much to defend in being irritated about people who simply choose to use them.

My random thought for 2028: Campaigning directly to parents on the issue of closely regulating AI friend programs used by minors could be a big winning issue for a Democrat among a lot of key constituencies.
"Value-adding behavior" is literally jargon. You can just say "useful." But I'm not going to make a big deal of it, because I think your underlying point is more important than the words you use. See how easy that is?
I'm so out of patience with this kind of mockery. Yes, progressive language is jargon-y and occasionally irritating. You know how long ago that started? Roughly the dawn of time. So be irritated privately. But whining about it is like discrediting a picket sign because you hate the font.
People using the term "justice involved population" is Not. A. Real. Problem. And mocking it in a speech is like calling Democrats "pronoun-obsessed." It's playing to the cheapest seats in the house.
If your thing is inventing demons on the left in order to depict progressivism as some kind of disease, go be a Republican. I think Beshear is basically a good guy, but this kind of self-credentialing is pandering trash.
It's the ultimate "Why not both?" situation.
You will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of, etc.
Here is the lovely video I quote-posted. I deleted my original post because I was accused of advocating child pornography.
(To all: This video is totally SFW.)

I just had to delete a post for a reason so stupid that nobody here will ever top it, and I will hold it close to my heart forever.
Can I get mine with the ideating on the side?
I broke a three-year crossword puzzle streak yesterday because I just...forgot to do the puzzle, and I feel the NYT should grant me a do-over, but what I feel even more is indescribable relief.
Husband is in full boasting mode and while we were watching TV last night said, "That's Jean Smart, my costar in Hacks."
Doorman and building staff may go on strike against building owners in NYC for the first time in 30 years+ next week, and I can say that among apartment building residents, there is a 50/50 divide between "Give them anything they want" and "Give them anything they want, you assholes."
You are so welcome! I was great in those movies, right?
NBC and Peacock.
Watched The Pitt finale and Hacks E2 tonight and I think Noah Wyle and Jean Smart are both going straight back to the Emmy stage. Also, I cried once per show. It's very hot in NYC right now and I am labile.
What do you mean, "jokes"? I was walking up Broadway yesterday and literally burst out laughing when I saw this.
Love this!
In the ninth episode of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Craig Robinson refers to Daniel Radcliffe, to his face, as "this Elijah-Wood-looking-ass bitch." I am running out of new ways to recommend this show.
