One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

I wrote them and they were like "okay but they buy us networking" and idk that's like "yeah sure we give to Republicans, it gives us access." Whatever. At least I'm fortunate enough to live in a city where I live next to three other historic local theaters that deserve my support.

I’m amazed at how effective the media is at painting a rosy picture of American war efforts. Like the people who think Ukraine is kicking ass. Or that the US is doing well in Iran. I guess I shouldn’t be. Perhaps I haven’t fully internalized “internet will set the truth free” is techno-optimism BS.

These people genuinely think they are going to reform capitalism and then a socialist gets in office and they are like wait I can’t do anything at all about the cops what kinda snail pace do you expect to reform capitalism to socialism at. We are going to die bro

Eat shit you war monger.

I’ve come to despise this word. It was of limited use to describe socialists of all stripes once. Now it just seems like a label people adopt who maybe liked Bernie but have no coherent ideology and no interest in developing one. Say the S word at least or I’m gonna assume you’re a Lockheed liberal.

I’m Alaskan so we didn’t even have these outside the school but one of my schools did go through a “omg we gotta stop selling unhealthy pizza to the kids, how about healthy food like chicken fried rice” phase.

When I’m supreme ruler of Portland we’re building reeducation camps for people who get on rush hour buses and block neighboring seats so they don’t have to sit next to a stranger, I can tell you that much.

Yeah I worked for the Gallup Poll in college it was pretty much this lol.

Deleting some accounts to clean up my digital footprint a bit and good god why did I have a Nextdoor account lmao.

Worth bearing in mind that the kind of belligerently anti-left liberals you see all over this site today were the exact same guys who marginalized Jesse Jackson. Jesse marched with Code Pink and PSL. Jesse hung out with Castro. Don't let liberals co-opt his memory. He was firmly on the left.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but insulting potential voters isn’t going to win anybody over. Unless you care more about being right on the internet, than you actually do about winning elections.

"rude" label switch on Bluesk Moderation Service, set to off

Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.

....and an update on this "officer involved shooting" and the "first responders that keep our communities safe".... (Jabez is still alive, but in critical condition)

Yeah I'm sure it's kinda nice going on infinite vacations to Greece and being a little dumb and totally checked out.

I have a high school classmate I'm still connected with on social media and she seems to be marrying rich and lives like an offensively carefree lifestyle. For instance, partying March 2020. This week she went to Minneapolis to vacation and fuck around.

A couple weeks ago it was said to be The Porter.

Also very telling that Hillary can "see the humanity" of Trump officials who are actively terrorizing communities and ruining countless people's lives, but she clearly doesn't see the humanity of starving children in Gaza, who she thinks are acceptable casualties in Israel's "self-defense."

Wesley Snipes shooting crying meme

Found out the Hollywood Theatre in Portland is a member of the Metro Chamber.

My hot movie take is that Requiem for a Dream is dogshit. Reluctantly I will admit I liked The Wrestler a lot, but I’ve also been pretty meh on him otherwise so I also feel that sense of vindication.

I literally was in immigration court as a 5 year old but I'll have shitlibs fully become conservatives the moment I talk about democrats also being complicit in the torture and oppression of my people. They'll be so abusive, call me insults short of slurs, call me tankie.

They can't fathom life.

My favorite part was when they were like “oh fuck there’s more” and they sent a sidewinder missile into a Boy Scout troops hobbyist weather balloon.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Inshallah, the west will destroy itself and the global south will finally be able to breathe without US and European boots on their necks.

Hands off Greenland because they’re innocent and just doing their own thing but this genre of post is making me pro annexing something in mainland Europe just out of spite. “I helped get four million people killed in the GWOT why you not nicer to me?”

Did my Oregon taxes last night and they asked what kind of white person I was and there were a dozen options. Felt weird because there wasn’t a generic white option so I picked Romanian because that’s who was freshest off the boat in my family. Made me feel like those 23andme “Irish” white people.

I remember buying an invite to that on eBay. It’s weird to look back on a time when I was optimistic and enthusiastic about tech.

The replies to this are reminding me of that one Wired article about how the bulk of this website are people who do not understand jokes.
