it's not enough to criticize rfk jr's words and actions, as vile as they are. you have to go further, and see how they are reflected in the society around you, the society that gave rise to him - including your own thoughts and actions.
if you decry RFK Jrs logic here but find yrself agreeing with, if not saying yourself something to the effect of:
“i’m not sick, i don’t need to mask”
i need you to reflect on the ways your actions echo eugenicists—even if you find their reasoning vile. then let that fuel a change in your behavior.
it gives me no pleasure to say this—i don’t find masking as much as i must to be particularly thrilling—but our reality is stark. you cannot Act As If covid is gone and then be shocked when a nefarious actor makes the same claim. why wouldn’t they? your complacency has allowed it.
if you find yourself appalled that RFK Jr is able to make this claim but you don’t wear a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces, you are acting in precisely the way that allows him to say that covid is gone.

Alex sits across from a woman at a table who reads from pamphlet "OK, so the rules of this game are: 1. players move around the baord in a counter-clockwise fashion..." Alex thinks to herself "this board game woman is tedious, but her dating profile indicates she's a real freak in bed." Her expression remains placid as the speech bubble containing the endless rules recited by the board game woman collapse Alex's face. Later in the boudoir, Alex is in fetish gear with the board game woman who says "alright, let's do this." She then picks up a pamphlet and reads "the rules of this are: 1 players move around the board in a counter-clockwise..."
We fucking warned y’all that this was the goddamned end goal for those smart glasses.
ahh i was confusing it with l'humanité
for some reason i thought libération had some past association with the pcf or something. i guess i completely hallucinated that

boss who hired all clumsy anime girl office ladies who keep dropping papers, spilling drinks etc. with sexy results: ahh! my business is ruined! our cleaning costs are through the roof!

i am sure this will help me draw cartoony animal people who are covered in fur

just noticed some of my rulers are subdivided by 0.05 inches rather than 1/16. what the fuck
i'm humanist enough to say there actually are ways for people who've committed such heinous crimes to atone. they would be much more difficult and costly than going to therapy and crying to newspapers though
(even the one you're thinking of, while not unwelcome, is still just the easy way out, imo)
This is what’s left of the historic town of Bint Jbeil, Lebanon after Israel passed through it
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Iran is more culturally irreligious than it's ever been, the morality police are mostly abolished, and increasingly the country is run by a group of ice-chewing militarists.
Israel on the other hand is barreling towards velayet-e faqih-style Ben Gvirist theocracy.
The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.
And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.
And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.
And then, they did it one more time for good measure.
hmm
Thr South Korean president criticized Israel, Israel got super mad about the mention of the Holocaust, and not the far worse reference. The president compared them to imperial Japan, which is like the worst thing a Korean can call anyone or anything www.theverge.com/policy/91358...
bankrupt them anyway
same israeli ceasefire plan in lebanon as in gaza: the arabs cease, israel fires, continued occupation, displacement, and murder behind (and in front of) a "yellow line". question is if the calculus has changed such that this is not tenable for israel
this is true. me and my friends are patrolling the streets and and if you can't recite random lines from the quran or mao's little red book then we put you in a struggle session and make you do ramadan
He added: "I believe very strongly that women's wards should be for biological women. What do we do about tha biological female who is a trans man, looks, sounds, presents, lives, his life as a man is biologically female? We wouldn't put him on a women's ward. That would be degrading for him and humiliating And cruel.
Wes streeting admits what he is doing is "humilating and cruel".
But only for trans men (that look and sound man enough).
Perfectly happy to inflict cruelty and humiliation on trans women.

tentative iranian victory? a little hard to tell with both sides claiming victory, but i think it's not unreasonable to conclude that the us has played most of its hand while iran hasn't
