"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick.

People who call being trans a mental illness but are chill with people having 12 kids will always puzzle me

Just sitting with the thought that it won't be long before nursing homes are bumping killing in the name because the CNAs think it's cute when granddad gets turnt.

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

Oprah Pursues Dr. Phil On Ship Through Arctic THE ARCTIC CIRCLE—With a vow to destroy the abomination she had created if it was the last thing she ever did, television host Oprah Winfrey has spent weeks on a ship pursuing Dr. Phil through the Arc...

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.”

The only people worth listening to in this decades long Epstein coverup are the survivors. They hold the truth.

Let them speak. End this shameful game of protecting the pedophiles.

Governments have always belonged to the predators, that's what government is for, but thats a great line for the liberals who haven't come to terms with American mythology yet

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

She's smart af, bro. Just give the man all.the rope he needs

So Bangkok traffic is like if Chicago traffic had a meth problem. yesterday I saw a tall skinny white boy riding his skateboard in the road. I'm guessing he did that to avoid the motorcycles on the sidewalk.

Someone needs to ask “the usual suspects” a simple question:

“Based on your recent track records, why the fuck should we listen to you?”

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

Government should not be able to force you to work without pay. If your job is essential, you need to be paid. If legislators don't want to pay essential workers legislators need to step down

Wait, this article is fucking stupid. "Parasites are grieving their ability to continue stealing from and exploiting their neighbors." Its the same bullshit rich people have always done, stop pretending like their pov is reasonable. This is how we got Trump.

I hope not. Wall street has needed to die for a long time

None that I know of, but I think a good metric is voter education and how informed/confused the average person is now vs pre-1987. A good starting point is the sources/footnotes of the If books could kill episode on what's the matter with kansas

No one said broadcast was ALL media. Reading matters. And like I said, the absence of the fd led to a decline in the quality of news media that could've competed with and pushed back against cable news.

Broadcast tv and radio ARE media. It had a huge impact on the priorities and ethos of broadcast journalism. Broadcast stations could have provided meaningful push back against cable news. Instead, they just competed in the race to the bottom

The media eco system has been failing since the fairness doctrine was repealed and cable news became a thing

As millions of Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits, I am reminded of this quote by Emma Goldman:

"Ask for work. If they don't give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, then take bread."
