One teacher told us “apartheid was good for S Africa;” another lectured that FDR “ruined the country” by making Americans “lazy;” yet another wld force us to watch Alan Greenspan lectures and preface them by saying “now that’s a smart Jew” (the teacher ofc was not Jewish)

this tendency within contemporary liberalism is intimately connected with its aversion to acknowledging past or present colonialism

Bluesky really doesn't want people to say "rest in piss" about Charlie Kirk aftermath.site/bluesky-char...

Stopped in Toronto (first time in Canada overall) for a layover before heading to Tokyo and I didn't realize how French Canada is lol like I know that French is the second biggest language here or whatever but I was unprepared for how French it would be 🤣

The protest march in Chicago - the second in only four days staged in opposition to the Trump admin's targeteting of Chicagoland for an immigration blitz - has stepped off from Congress Plaza and is heading north down Michigan Avenue. Hundreds of people have joined the march so far.

You don’t have to test ppl, you can literally just ask ppl the questions you want to know.

the Spanish dub of the AS1 Mimi Imfurst vs The Rest of the Queens is one of the greatest pieces of gay media ever produced

Fuck 😞😞

Maya Moore's basketball legacy will be cemented this weekend with an induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. To consider Moore is to acknowledge there are human beings who do more with their footprint to make the world a little better. 🔗: bit.ly/4mTIcVA?sour...

starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

Glasses and prescription sunglasses for here a week before my trip 🥳🥳

He hit the nail on the head.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of August!

Walz will be calling a special session on gun control: minnesotareformer.com/2025/09/02/w...

Damn, Aminé and JID are here in Minneapolis on the same night?? 😩😩 Guess I'm just going to have to JID only 😕

that he is one of the few Democrats actually doing something in response to Trump does not change the fact that Newsom fucking sucks and I don’t want him to run either the state or the country

Been getting the itch to do some music reviews as an excuse to listen to and analyze a bunch of albums that have come out this spring/summer. There have been SO many artists dropping recently. I got 20+ on the list tho, so it's going to probably take me a bit so it's a WIP

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

No, no. They saw it as an opportunity to attack the young leaders that our movements developed. Case in point NYC. The party is not a collection of fumbling idiots, they are co-conspirators, co-authors in our oppression.

Going to try and make all my game purchases physical copies from now on. The convenience of digital doesn't outweigh the trend of game makers trying to make that the ONLY way to buy games

We can’t have an accurate conversation about trans identity

I'm on the side of democracy, but some of y'all really need to do something about your raging lib boner. You're scaring the hoes.

Genuinely would rather it be Burke, Breen and Legler. Richard Jefferson is an irksome commentator

fall is for pho!

Fall is the superior season simply because of the weather and food/flavor choices that come with it 🤷🏾‍♂️

I got around to reading this closely and it's an easy education in how David Shor rigs things. The tested messaging on deploying the National Guard is actually shit - so they lead you to conclude that the *focus* is shit, instead of the fact that the test message is (deliberately) shit

I really don't think this is talked about often enough Yes, we all know police corruption exists, but to be so bad your state literally canceled the death penalty because they can't trust confessions is wild ass work. And it cost the city hundreds of millions in lawsuits

I will note (again) that one of the main reasons that illinois doesn't have the death penalty is because cops beat & tortured murder confessions out of too many people. (Google jon burge and Reynaldo Guevara for more info)

the last two news stories i saw, one after another, were israel bombing nasser hospital in gaza and then this one. genuinely ashamed of the UK right now

“Remember, when you’re jailed for burning a flag, that is just a distraction!” - Democrats, phoning it in from a beach somewhere

When were ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Patriot Act created. Answer quickly

this is why yard sign counts don’t really mean anything, especially in renter majority wards like 7 and 10. if we even have a street facing window, plenty of landlords don’t even allow any signs to be displayed. yard sign counts are for single family homeowners only and leave out renters

BOO! 👻 I'm scary, huh? Made you flinch? If me just existing as a queer person can put so much fear in your heart then you're bitchmade actually. Legitimately a skill issue. Git gud

I'm not ashamed to say that Lupe helped shape my politics as a young adult when I really didn't know a lot about anything

Again, the "democrats use too many woke words" thing is completely made up. It's gamergate bullshit that broke containment ten years ago

What in the actual fuck is going on in the UK. The transphobia is so fucking bad. Also, Reuters should be absolutely fucking ashamed at this headline.

"a chicken cutlet with pepperjack... *stares into the distance* that... was Himmel's sandwich order, deadass"

Robin, easily lol

If we get to live in the world of OP and haki existed, no. If only devil fruits were introduced into our world, then yes. Honestly probably Kuma's Nikyu-Nikyu no mi. It's so busted and useful

Jimbei or Robin because they're the only ones that wouldn't stress me out!!

A check in the mailbox of every Black person in the country lmao

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

Still no flood response.
