I didn't realize there were right wingers outside of nursing homes and the Natural History Museum who still believed money worked this way. I thought they all got the Trump 2 memo that "Supply-side" and "Trickle Down" were out and "Fuck everything and fuck you" was the new line

A great many white readers in 1967 were not ready to accept a brown-skinned hero. But they weren’t expecting one. I didn’t make an issue of it, and you have to be well into the book before you realize that Ged, like most of the characters, isn’t white.

Ingen shade til William. Politiske ytringer er bare bedre beskyttet. Han behøvede heller ikke at sløre deres ansigter. #dkpol #dkjura #menneskeret #EMRK

Days after the NFL fined him for wearing Hind Rajab’s name, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair returned to the field with another Palestinian child on his eye black: 8-year-old Wafaa Akila. Wafaa was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza on September 6 — her first day of school.

the three groups i misjudged the most in my adult life were the furries, the juggalos and the irish. i have grown and learned, and now i direct this energy towards far more worthy targets: the catholic church, the NCAA and the british

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

It was my turn to finally bump into one of these shitty robots out in the wild...I wanted to smash it instinctively. In my blood I knew I wanted to standing right there on the side of the road as it chunked and clattered to wherever it is they go when they’re off duty. orbooks.com/catalog/we-h...

They might argue that they didn't see it coming. How were they to know that their war over 20% of the worlds oil and fertiliser would take place in a year with a massive drought and El Nino? That's kinda the point though, isn't it? Arrogance, followed by growing realisation and panic.

Your timeline has been cursed by the appearance of the Harry Potter Cybertruck. You must perform one act of kindness today to restore balance to a world in which this abomination exists.

it's very comforting how the President of the United States, the entire Republican party, and most all of the country's prominent CEOs are objectively completely delusional and insane

it is more desirable to them that rod liddle beat his pregnant partner than if he had not. they like him more for it, because it reinforces their hierarchies more. men over women, adults over children, etc. it is comforting for them to see their hierarchy play out true

How about "any cop who kills someone in the line of duty has to stop being a cop?" Regardless of whether it's a "good" or bad shooting. You get one, better be really fucking sure, dude. If you do first aid and call an ambulance maybe you can keep your job. You know, common sense "reform."
