Yeah I read this already actually and think I disagree? Did you root against Edward Norton's character trying to reform himself and his family in American History X?

I think Graham Platner is in a really solid place as his supporters are comparing him to Edward Norton in American history x

Hot take: if the standard for good art or media is "will conservatives not misunderstand it?" Then there is no good art or media.

my hot take is that complex characters existing in fiction are not to blame for wars of imperial aggression

Anyone else remember when Israel blew up the Evin Prison in August, killing over 100 transgender prisoners in the largest single-day slaughter of trans people in human history

Trans people are being displaced and the AIDS crisis is well within living memory but liberal Zionists want you to think that the West is an eternal paragon of safety for queer people while the scary nasty Arabs are the only people on earth who hate us

i could go on 4chan right now and find someone using this exact argument to try to convince an lgbt person to be a based nazi. seen it a million times

Florida and Kansas are doing some pretty fucked up anti-trans shit. Yet firebombing elementary schools in those states is not something I think should happen.

If being socially conservative was a good reason to kill people we’d be dropping JDAMs on megachurches

i oppose the trump regime. that doesn't mean i want my local high school to be vaporized by a hypersonic missile. what the government of iran does or does not do is besides the point; the united states and israel are murdering children on purpose. that is the issue.

In a year of stupid headlines, what to even say, this has to be among the stupidest and frankly most offensive yet

Lady Shar is encouraging Clover's shenanigans today... Clover's new favorite thing, since the weather got beautiful, is to climb screens. πŸ™„ Is this the terrible twos or the rebellious teenage phase? Kittens grow up way too fast!

I think it’s incredibly pathetic to be obsessed with loser politicians of yore.

β€œHillary and Kamala were right about everything” you sound like a rube. A bumpkin in a tri cornered hat talking about β€œGoldwater was right about everything”. Just revolting

You shouldn’t lionise any politician but a failed politician as your hero is particularly pathetic.

Try to find two more beautiful people than Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. You can't. It's not possible.

Finally watched In the Mood for Love after meaning to for decades. Holy shit it’s utterly gorgeous. Every frame is stunning. Her dresses! Her eyeliner! Oh my god everything is so beautiful.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

the more companies are able to push workers behind closed doors or far-away screens the easier they are to abuse. and the less likely customers will see their struggle aligned with the struggle of said workers.

tbh, I don’t get why people are going β€œomg read the article” about Waymo remote guidance. the point is this: gig drivers started to gain labor wins, to unionize. then these things showed up, with underpaid (and invisible-to-user) workers who are more easily exploited. the issue remains the same.

I simply do not understand the impulse to be smug-by-proxy on presidential candidates’ behalf for being β€œright” that their opponent is bad.

i think it's a sign of mass-media poisoning that anyone thinks "republicans are nazi scum" is some kind of special secret

"they were right!! about everything!!" but not as right about everything as a teenage punk band from 2002

and to this day they still refuse to work through to a conclusion

Right about everything but not as right as a teenage punk band in 2002 really sums it up
