a bear vacuuming a floor as a japanese salaryman looks on in terror
found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page
John Swartzwelder had the best answer to this question.
The vast majority of Americans are birthright citizens. Unless you naturalized or were born abroad to an American parent, you are a citizen because of the 14th Amendment. There is nothing constitutionally distinct about Americans born here to non-Americans. We are all literally equal citizens.
They started a war of choice for absolutely no reason, with no real strategy and no real preparation, and the end result will be a global situation that is, in every single way, worse than what it was when they started.
Yes,the emerging line is wily, ruthless Israel tricked poor, trusting, naive Donald Trump into a stupid, reckless war. GMAFB. Israel has absolutely pushed for this but ultimately it’s DONALD TRUMP who decided to take the US to war. He likes war! He likes blowing things up! He literally says it’s fun
I’d go with Sentry a lot of the time he is used though I will note I haven’t read the Jenkins/Lee original series.
posthumous credit isn't necessary because a cornerstone of MAGA is just saying whatever bullshit resonates without actually having any actual personal belief structure or ethics
anti war, antitrust, anti-corruption, whatever sells the lie that authoritarians are genuine public interest populists
Homer: 8:58, FIRST TIME IVE I EVER BEEN EARLY FOR WORK EXCEPT FOR ALL THOSE O. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS DAYS. LOUSY FARMERS.
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”
Trump’s 2016 criticism of the Iraq war was the US didn’t do enough war crimes. He argued that the US should’ve stolen oil and killed insurgents’ innocent family members.
That’s what some prominent media figures presented to the public as isolationist, anti-intervention, anti-war, “Donald the Dove.”
propaganda works
especially well on people who think propaganda doesn't work
Teenage me: the Doors are great! Jim Morrison is sooooo deep.
Post-teenage me: God, the Doors suck, what was I thinking.
Present-day me: The Doors' instrumentalists are amazing and they should have just kicked Morrison out of the band.
Probably the artist who most closely alinged with Lee’s storytelling.
This is pretty clear in every Stan Lee book.
If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired
Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months.
He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.
AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.
The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK"
The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"
Significant because the government wants you to think this woman was a leftist troublemaker who was responsible for her own death. If this were the case then they wouldn’t have her up on the screen at a sporting event. I wouldn’t expect every NBA team to do this but it’s good they did it in Minnie
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
American conservative discourse on "socialism" since the 1950s has largely been shaped by well-educated, self-interested rich people desperately worried that socialism *will* work; who use hyperbolic, bad faith arguments to get less well-educated poor people to believe that socialism *can't* work.
If Bill can say this, every elected Dem can say this.
