Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Naqoura, South Lebanon right now.
Civilian homes.
No military target.
No justification.
Just pure terror and destruction.
This is a war crime in broad daylight.
And the world watches in silence.
do I really have the energy for another round of 'why the Easter elements you think are pagan aren't, and why a load of Easter elements most people haven't even heard of probably are'
A picture of a cat. It says, “4 years ago lived in a bush and hunted my own meals. Now I have 2 passive incomes, my own house, & a personal chef. Follow me for more financial advice.”
Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages.
Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians.
These Are War Crimes.
Photo of the book One day, everyone will have always been against this by Omar El Akkad. The cover is fully red with the small black silhouette of a child and a missile falling towards them.
This book is a beautifully harsh discussion about the politics of identity, journalism, power, resistance and the self interest/complacency of western liberalism, among many other things. It’s an essential read.
The last 5 years have convinced me that aliens visiting Earth wouldn’t be a big news story 2 months later.
I will Venmo any white house reporter $600 to read this to trump and give him a pen and paper to do it

“When Peter Thiel took his Antichrist lecture series from San Francisco to Rome last week, he probably expected to ruffle a few Vatican feathers. What he may not have anticipated was the pope's AI adviser asking…whether he should be burned at the stake.”

Meme. Painting of a medieval abbot. He's standing and holding a little red book, which is open in his hand. He has a long white beard, and the hair on the side of his head sweeps over his ears like the tide sweeps over a sandbar. He is bald, and there is a fine patina of light dancing across his head. He is wearing a dark grey robe, with the hood thrown back, and next to him is the staff of his office. Behind is head is a yellow halo, so you know he's esp. holy. He is looking down towards the book, but not actually at it. It seems like he was reading, but got distracted by something on the floor a little in front of him. His expression is calm, so it's not anything wild like a group of rabbits ritualistically sacrificing a sparrow. More like he's seen a piece of cheese, and the abbot can't quite recall when last he had cheese. Later, idly, he'll pick it up and realize that it's lint from his socks. Meme text reads: "I'm a medieval monk Everything's about sex, really"
Lent begins this week. And if you're a medieval English abbot that means one thing: eel-rents!
At the start of Lent tenants all over England came to pay their yearly rent in eels. Hundreds of thousands of eels.
But how? Why?
Well...it's about sex & availability, you see. 1/7

HUGE no on this. Make your phone calls.

Yo Democrat leadership... You awake?
listen, you can’t hate america more than americans hate america.
Same!
I just saw them on Wednesday up in Madison!
Good thread here
I see we've reached the "The president is walking around on the roof while ranting about crazy bullshit and everyone will pretend this is totally normal" phase of the fall of America.
Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this demented, tyrannical, confused, cruel, evil, idiot.
Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat.
I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.
Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
The entire construction of "street gangs" in america is 99% moral panic. To the extent that they exist at all, they're closer to sports fandoms than hierarchical organizations.

Beautiful red roses on a pink background with flowing script saying "Roses are red," Violets budding and blooming. "Violets are blue," Hydnora plants opening up looking like terrifying red mouths bursting from the hard sandy soil. "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyll," A splash of cute red and pink hearts. "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day."
Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!
It's incredible that, after all this time, he still doesn't know what a tariff is or what it does. If he keeps going like this — and he will — these will heavily impact everyday goods. The public *will* notice.
Screenshot from Congress. The red book text reads “Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women's health care”. The sentence above the red box reads “Whereas health eare for women should emphasize the whole woman, including her physical, mental, and spiritual wellness”. WTF is spiritual wellness?
Oh wow.
Just look at this screenshot.
Read the red box then read the sentence above.
So many implications for women in these sentences.
Your reproductive health now includes the needs of men and the community.
Who gets to decide what spiritual wellness is. That’s a fucking cult right there.
I watched Doctor Who instead. It was A LOT better.
