I am so grateful for my Communist teachers.

Ryoma from the anime series By the Grace of Gods is so pure.

For everyone doing comparative headline analysis, another entry

I met Trump in 1994, and he seemed a bit Tony Clifton even then, but now he's really Tony Clifton, especially when he loses a room, and he's losing rooms more and more these days.

Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime series but I don't give a shit about the Spike/Julia romance subplot.

Fellow actors: You may see notices for some high profile video games that casting will say are "grandfathered" or "safe harbor" projects. This is just a loophole leftover from the pre-merger AFTRA contract. THIS IS SCAB WORK. Plus you'll have ZERO protections from AI reuse of your work. DON'T SCAB!

What is the point of Trump doing a Tony Clifton imitation for Black journalists?

What a horror!

Spoilers for the anime series Wise Man's Grandchild to follow. . . . . . . . . . . . . . They set up a spoiled aristocrat rival for the hero early on, then made the rival over-the-top awful, then even more awful, then he turned into a demon and the hero cut off his head. Not what I was expecting.

Looks like I'm still on Daniel Goldman's Hitlets list (although his account is suspended), as well as "pathetic", Centrist morons, Violence/Harassment, Politically Bad, Dipshits to ignore, and Zionists.

OMG, listen to that bass line.

It is a staggering waste that so much creativity is used just to make a few thousand people rich.

"Technology is political, and its design is political. It is not created in the service of humanity at large. It is created by capitalists for capitalists. It is not in the service of humanity at large. It is in the service of profit. And, you know, that can be different." —General Intellect Unit

"I freeze myself on fire and a burn myself on ice."

In 1970, Miles Davis wanted to be Sly Stone.

1/ Don't the pundits understand that the actual phrase "kitchen table issues" is for internal messaging, but sounds stupid and canned when spoken out loud to the public. It makes a bad cliché.

CNN and MSNBC and FOX cannot host adequate Presidential debates because their ideological positions cannot provide for substantive debate.

I'm reluctant to read Althusser because he was a wife-murdering piece of shit. If that means I have gaps in my knowledge, so be it. Also, there is no epistemological break in Marx's thought.

Guillotines but instead of beheadings we liquidate the assets of huge corporations that have committed egregious malfeasance and distribute the money to their victims.

This is so true.

The rabbis of the Talmud discuss whether or not, if a man writes a bill of divorce on the body of a live animal, the divorce is kosher. Jews are divided between those who find this funny, and those who forbid themselves and others from finding this funny. May the latter never govern the rest of us.

You don't love Helvetica. You love Akzidenz-Grotesk.

Israel is going through what the USA will go through in a second term of Donald Trump's presidency.

I know I annoy people when I say "Toyreh", but saying Toyreh has better mouth feel than saying Torah.

My friends in middle school were obsessed with Victorian pornography, especially The Pearl, and, reading that shit now, it's so fucking delightfully pervy (although sometimes crossing the line).

I love that Luanne Platter joined the Communist Party. The Texas branch must be lit.

Imagine objecting that the Olympics, the international sporting event, is "globalism".

I was pretty active in the DSA in Boston for a few years, but I resigned when I saw their internal comms about October 7th. Kill the weirdo Trotskyist microsect mentality living in your head.

Reminder that the porn star John Holmes made fourteen (pornographic) action films under the name Johnny Wadd, where he played a private detective who traveled all around the world fighting bad guys and shagging babes.

Watching Trump handcuffed to a loser like Project 2025 is funny, but watching him handcuffed to a loser he chose himself, like JD Vance, is even funnier.

Reminder that there's more of these weirdos than there are Jews in the USA.

Why does Elizabeth Warren keep falling for this shit? First SESTA/FOSTA, now this.

None of the weird spins on this that the "both sides" media are using to shield Trump address that even if it was a joke, even if it was referring to something else, it's still a deranged thing for a Presidential candidate to say, and utterly disqualifying regardless of subtext.

A dozen episodes into the classic anime series Fairy Tail. It's like a children's show where most of the characters are too sexy for a children's show.

How do I write my fucking book when this shit keeps happening (escalating)?

I'm guessing there won't be a monster Zoom call called "Jews for Harris" like "White Dudes for Harris" or "Black Women for Harris" because of Gaza.

1/ PSA: Conservatives want to define racism as something that dwells in the heart because what dwells in the heart is unfathomable. They don't want to define it as a behavior because they often engage in such behavior and often benefit from such behavior.

Voting for politicians who insisted that we invade Iraq in 2003 is erasing history.

“Oppressors always expect the oppressed to extend to them the understanding so lacking in themselves.” ― Audre Lorde

How do you enjoy movies and TV shows about the Victorian underworld in London and not realize that these are critiques of capitalism?

An unsustainable state of affairs

most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

The rioters in Israel, including MKs, trying to free IDF reservists who were arrested for ghastly sexual violence at a torture site really render The Most Moral Army In The World™ unable to impose any semblance of morality on its worst offenders.

I've defeated the first four bosses in Animal Well. If you love Hollow Knight, you should give this game a try. It was made by one person, has amazing pixel art, and is all about exploration. The fewer spoilers, the better.

It's worth pointing out just how bad this is. These are members of the ruling coalition who are unhappy that there's the slightest chance of reckoning for what sounds like, for all intents and purposes, rape of a prisoner. And instead of using their political power they immediately leap to violence.
