People ITT are actually pretending Harris or any other Democrat would be equally likely to go to war with Venezuela. This is not serious political analysis

The UK rapidly moving to the upper right corner here

Can’t tell if the retrofuturism of the Delta Airlines centennial safety presentation video is progressive or fascist, so I guess it’s time to go on airplane mode and touch clouds

I’m here for Mad King Elmo II Targaryen

I sort of get why you’d think building something like this would be smart but Jesus, this is like buying your 7 year old nephew a pack of cigarettes so he’ll look cool on Instagram

I want to see the sun rise in the west over Moscow

the west is full of cowards. we have the strongest militaries the world has ever known. we should intervene and stop Russia once and for all

Shein factories are a Triangle Shirtwaist Fire waiting to happen, and you can't simultaneously go on about late stage capitalism and demand that people not judge you for buying sweatshop clothing produced under dangerous conditions.

Thesis: Adorno was just jealous Antithesis: nuh uh, you are Synthesis: Adorno was just jealous

There is something about the Negro Civic League gathering here in 1918, at a time when segregation was at its peak and Stevens a forgotten nonentity, that makes me want to cry. Because the cause endures, even after death.

*crying, covered in snot* I guess *snort* you have *bawling* to hand it to *shrieks, sobs* the United Methodists

“The soccer ball’s daughter is the tomato” ancient philosopher or toddler?

And those things are also technologies! Which is so cool; there are ideas we need to have or learn or simply (if not easily) keep teaching and that they matter is the coolest thing

I am showing my daughter /Muppet Treasure Island/ so it is going *very well*

Political Gnosticism, everyone should cast 2 votes. One for President of the seen reality and one for President of the unseen

Nothing of any value has no cost

Honestly the only liberal conservatives to die happy to my knowledge are like, probably Dorothy Thompson (wealthy in rural VT after slaying all enemies and banging a Hungarian artist) and presumably Bill Kristol at some point in the future

Same thing goes for Hendrik Willem Van Loon. Big ass book about the danger of zee Germans and their failure as interpreted through Napoleon and the Dutch Republican experiment, only to die in lower New England of all places, waiting for the Yankees to depose Hitler.

Being José Ortega y Gasset must have been infuriating. You successfully call the whole “fascism is bad, probably more relevant to Western Europe than Bolshevism, will end in tears” thing, but then your country is like, one of 2-3 that keep doing fascism after it’s discredited.

late-medieval protestant healthmaxxing?? ohh u mean the diet of worms

Who the fuck is Bill Clinton and why am I supposed to care if he's in the Epstein files?

Mods are asleep, post the unknown gods that buggy dwarf fortress newborns worship

Why be evil if it doesn't make you hot?

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

Worth remembering that whatever skepticism we might have about what specifically in the Epstein materials, the royal family of the UK saw enough for them to more or less do a damnatio memoriae on the king’s brother while he’s still alive.

okay so um why does the Succession intro have home movies that look like they're from the 60s when the main characters are clearly gen x and millenials.

(Slams fist on desk) Ska Pope Ska Pope Ska Pope

yeah, this is a weird one because it has the FEEL of being Glonzo but it's actually super real. It's like if Trump had a press conference and revealed the mounted skull of Glonzo and we never had any more brownouts.

It is 2005. Good Morning America is talking about "security moms." It is 2025. Good Morning America is talking about "security moms." Someone release me from this prison of recursion.

When Sarah McBride talks about the Democratic Party being a big tent, and you take that to mean "bipartisanship" and from that "collaboration with fascism", you have a psychotic belief about Representative McBride which prevents you from reading and understanding clear, simple text.

”We have to compromise. I trust the good faith of-“ *grabs mic* “THE PRESIDENT FUCKS KIDS AND I HAVE PROOF.“

Thinking that Mamdani is hot, and Spanberger is hot, is, in some ineffable, undefinable sense, "bisexual" if you're a reactionary-centrist traitor to the cause who doesn't understand words and hates freedom and rights and spits in the face of children, I guess.

A siege-breaking snowstorm followed by the strongest aurora in living memory is proof that Chicago has the Mandate of Heaven and its enemies will die by her sword

A compelling platforming from a candidate with vision

"The fact that the American slave population kept growing even after repeated efforts to slow the spread, degradation, and lethality of the institution was a sign to all Americans of good conscience that a new constitutional approach was needed to address the scourge of slavery."

Ok, who's going to adapt this to be a musical?

what if the firehose of fascist shit isn't wiping out the memory of the electorate? what if it's just hitting different things? and idk it seems like a persisting problem to me that dems aren't in lockstep with and fully tied to no kings, possibly the biggest social movement in american history

If you don’t think Woke Napoleon would have been awesome you have no heart If you don’t think Woke Napoleon is an impossible contradiction in terms you have no brain

This is a great shame. That Christmas tree tradition is wonderful.

[P] WHOOP WHOOP

Nobody tell me if Linda Martini are problematic, this is extremely my shit

Honestly things are hard right now, I get that, but I’m sick to death of the defeatism “Why should *I* do any work when congressional Democrats will continue to suck?” We just saw a democratic socialist win a hotly contested race because people showed up locally!

1 like = 1 thing I have been wrong about, why not

I think this guy might be bad

New: The Supreme Court DENIES Kim Davis' request to overturn Obergefell, the marriage equality decision. No noted dissents. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Boy, Republicans. I dunno.

Seeing a lot of "why even vote for Dems?" today, when the thing people are upset about losing was literally created, and passed by Dems.
