The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
Both of those things are also prescient of how 21st century culture would be
Wasn’t that bridge like ten movies and twenty tv shows
Israel is only "on the map" because they forcibly expelled 75% of the non-Jewish population of Palestine in 1948. Zionsts' response is essentially "get over it" because they think a Jewish state is more important than Palestinians' humanity.
Israel is controlled by a terrorist group whose aim is to wipe Palestine off the map, and they have nukes and an army
if democrats haven't criminally prosecuted thomas and alito for corruption by 2034, or at minimum removed them via court reform, i'm going to be really fucking angry
This is why groups like Sweet Baby Inc exist btw despite what antiwoke dumbasses tell you
You know, a lot of people scoffed when smart phones were introduced. Even the internet itself was slow to be embraced. That's why it might take time for my new invention, injecting-compressed-but-still-alive-spiders-into-your-penis-with-an-airgun, to really catch on
Telling queer stories and representing queer characters is done because people want those things, from both the creators and audience there is a demand for those stories and characters, not because of a lack of agency on their part or some insidious other party exerting pressure.
There's an underlying conspiratorial belief with the "anti-woke" crowd that game developers are being forced to write queer characters or stories, it's just another serving of barely reheated "cultural marxism" really, but there's nobody forcing anything, it's not being pushed down anyone's throats.
This is a rather incredible window into a reactionary mindset, because Daniel Vávra seems like he genuinely wanted to tell a story that included a gay romance subplot in spite of pushback, but refuses to extend that understanding to other writers and developers who also want to tell their stories...
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
the trojans would be so mad that their legacy boils down to malware and condom brand commemorating that one time they got tricked like idiots
Jury awards should be taken out of the pensions.

In 1991, "Teen births have crashed since 1991" was literally the future headline that almost all public policymakers were going for. Teen pregnancy was considered a crisis!
The family not telling her that her son died is the big issue here.
What is the official party platform? Because I'm sick of conservatives running as Democrats because they are embarrassed by what the Republican Party has become. What good are you to Democrats or America in general if you couldn't defend your own party from fascism?
The ADL has gone from a civil rights organization to a pro-Israel antisemitism tollbooth
You can criticize other people's work. You can be inspired by it -- positively or negatively -- to try and make your own thing. What you do not get to do is demand changes to it.
Honestly this rocks
This makes me genuinely very sad, because there are lots of Jewish communities where she would be welcomed and accepted, and she's dedicated her career to driving them out of the institutional tent.
Slightly concerned that the lesson from Hungary that leadership Dems and Dem voters will take away is that you can run any ole neolibcon and people will turn out in huge numbers if the other guy is bad enough and not to run someone actually good who can turnout huge numbers just by being like good
a lot of people have taken note of this fact already, but do you know how bad you have to fuck up to make the catholic church look like righteous beacons of moral and ethical conduct
it's george soros saying "tell viktor it was me. i want him to know it was me"

US President Donald Trump says the US Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran. https://aje.news/x545rk
