The charges are horseshit especially considering that the actions that triggered them were setup with the assistance of the FBI, this one included.

I wish I had a good pizza place where I live as the "best" around here is Mellow Mushroom.

Best pizza I've ever had was in Foggia Italy, an oven fired Procida style. Never had anything close.

.....that's like, my daily.

Welcome to dark side.

A scene from the movie 300, where a spear hurled by Spartans grazes Xerxes, showing that Xerxes was a mortal and not a god.

what the US has become, what all eventual empires become.

The King is dead.

war mongering is exactly what the US, on its formation, was afraid of. Of tyrants with personal armies, uncounted sycophants, promoting their own personal power through the extension of mad kings and queens.

The people, flawed, supremacist, and in many ways foul tried to circumvent exactly

If what is being said happened in the Strait actually happened, the dominance of the US is over. There will still be decades of aggression of course, don't fool yourself but this is a moment that scholars will point to.

Think what you will of the American experiment but this kind of

I'm on the side of Stress.

JFC, show her to a wood chipper.

Seriously? I have three kids, had them young. None of my friends at the time were creepers and now many of them have their own kids.

My kids had the best random group of non-family Uncles in the world. Dudes who would die for them, who do doll tea parties with my daughter.

Such BS.

*not.

Right. I am ot a supporter of Iran's regime in the least but comparing the outside damage of the US to Iran?

US takes it all the fucking way.

Its class. Class considerations override almost every other consideration and gay capitalists are as equally repugnant as straight capitalists. Its "their rights" not "our rights." And yes, they are fooling themselves. The think this quanta of acceptance means they have arrived and screw us.

1993.

Damn, I'm old.

I was going to ask the same thing.

If its a legit, local organization that is working with another local organization I don't mind it. But some Big Box Store taking donations is just a tax write off for them.

Round up.

Any corporation asking for donations are going to be using that to decrease their tax incidence with very little if any going to the actual charity.

Also a great reason why you should never donate at the counter when you shop.

Unfortunately this may be one of the few things that get through to Western Christians. However, I'd be willing to be that plenty of Christian Zionists in the West will say, "Oh, its a crucifix, they aren't real Christians anyway."

This is what Christian Zionists want.

Finally starting to realize that supporting a dying empire is like tying a millstone around your neck and then asking why your back hurts.

Gentoo wanted to put their symbol on there but they had to compile it first.

Someone already said it, but this isn't just cruel, its slavery.

Let no one be fooled, the plantation system never left the South. It just went to Washington in a new suit.

Everyone talks about the Holodomor without any sort of nuanced look as if they "just understand" an issue without looking into any context.

I've just started reframing the dust bowl as an intentional act to kill off Native Americans.

I love when the Economist does historical revisionism. FDR wasn't anti-business in the least, he just happened to understand that if something wasn't done, the USA was going to completely destroy capitalism. FDR saved US capitalism and should never be forgiven for it.

My partner loves to tell the story of when she was a kid, she thought her Mom was cheating on her Dad with Mom's gay best friend, enough that she got the school counselor involved.

Kids are great huh?

Linux gaming has comes so damned far but I swear, Ubisoft needs to get with the programming.

Works great for the most part but if you forget to kill the UPC (U-play wrapper) process after you play one their games forget trying to play anything else.

I'm not trans but I am white and queer and frankly the sheer amount of bigotry in white cis queer spaces makes this an unassailable likelihood. I wish I understood why it occurs because its foolish, destructive, and disgusting.

What a quantum of acceptance does to someone is frightening.

It takes a special kind of fool to be annoyed about an oppressed people asking for help. Molly's work on here to help bring attention to their plight should have been celebrated, not derided.

Many of you do not understand solidarity and you remind me of what Engels said about British charity.

Hot take: Pavement was a much better band than both.
