China sending a warship to the United States to forcibly open the country to artificial flooring products, beginning a series of conflicts known to history as The Linoleum Wars

told her she’s gonna have to get a part time job

don’t know if there’s a way to say this gently, but it is actually a historical reality and a point of organizing potential that there are many marginalized groups being targeted rn. this is where solidarity can be built. what they want is for us to individualize our struggles and move from fear

There are many points in a plants reproductive cycle that it might want to fuck you

look fellow furries, I know trauma and misanthropy are at least partly involved in your literally explicitly rejecting humanity but don't start arguing in favor of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden, thanks, some of us see the value in a world that is NOT a smoking crater

read the rest of her posts and wonder what "progress" could possibly mean here

I love living in great satan USA. I love NATO

The internet was ALWAYS 4chan retard. You invaded our space. The rules of the internet come from 4chan. Don't feed the trolls? 4chan. You're a tourist who invaded our lands and are mad we're biting back harder than you can muster. Also, nazis? Boy, choke on over 9000 penises.

With this in mind, it is also very important that we don't leave those who ARE arrested at their complete mercy to be abused, disappeared, murdered or all three.

God gives his barkiest dogs to His strongest my neighbors

a girl like me can't live without her standing medium punch

Poasting a completely benign statement along the lines of “I don’t think we should institutionalise trans people” and getting told by 50 year old Michael from Boston that since we trans people are gonna die anyway we should try to save everyone else

Also Lincoln was literally open to at least one peace agreement that would have kept slavery legal But as always seeing people say “we should have been even more left” makes a certain type of person uncomfortable and instead of reflecting on that they go with “and that’s right wing”

Not for nothing, it's also very easy to find compelling criticisms of the Union during and after the Civil War, you just need to take the Read A Single Native American Scholar Challenge.

just learned Andrew Dice (Carpe Fulgur) passed away. while i had very little opportunities to talk to him, i believe the proliferation of japanese indie game translations would've not been possible without the hit success of Recettear and others. condolences to anyone close to him.

In the end the critic from Ratatouille literally was right in the ending monologue - like it sucks shit that it's so fun and entertaining to hate all the time. Hate and fighting gets engagement way easier. The downstream effect of that is just... less people actually being creative and Trying stuff

Honestly though, big picture issue I do think the Internet is poisoning a lot of people's brains because the engagement and reward structure online rewards being cynical and critiquing waaaaaay more than it does creating and sharing creative expressions you've made

jesus christ, man

Macy's fucking sucks dude, is it just this one where the only two looks being offered are prep or Coachella? at least at *suburban Hitler particles activate* bloomingdales you get a little bit of diversity although the price point is obscene

Rick Rietveld, for Maui and Sons, 1990

fun trivia! in the second French revolution, sensible liberal men listened to this complaint, and rather than kill conservatives in power reached out to them as partners in a new and more equal form of governance! the conservatives said "hey thanks for that" and immediately killed the lot of them

I am putting my art up in public for everyone. Pen and ink and color pencil on cardboard. Abolish ICE.

I was astounded to see that (at least in the early hours) it appears to be entirely centered around bugs & their various goings-ons. I've always heard gamers and devs strongly disliked bugs in their games. Perhaps there is some esoteric nuance I am not yet privy to.

I spent 45 minutes with silksong and these are my first impressions: is this real? Events appear to transpire beyond some sort of barrier or screen I cannot influence aside from pressing buttons on my "side" of the dividing medium, but if these bugs are really doing all that it should be on the news

Holy shit you have to check this out

When the depression hits like a chair to the face and just won't let up

What's going to save us is the fact that everyone in the United States of America soberly knows how to accurately link their past behavior to present consequences. That's just who we are.

I thought this was Tilda Swinton for a second

Monthly Halloween (1985-1995) was the most important publication ever to exist

A controversial California bill that would appoint an “Antisemitism Coordinator” is heading to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. The legislation, which is purported to combat antisemitism, will stifle criticisms of Israel and its genocidal assault on Gaza according to teachers' unions.

Interestingly the two of them claim that they were supportive of conditioning aid while they were still in office but they do not provide any real details as to why it didn't happen— the best conclusion one can make is that they're lying or they're implying that Biden just didn't care.

In other words they support a change to policy after no longer having a say.

Jon Finer and Phil Gordon, both of whom served as senior members under the Biden administration's foreign policy team, now claim that they're in favor of conditioning and even suspending military assistance to Israel altogether.

was it only optics? did his popularity die by a million cuts from individual policy decisions? or was it an abdication of vision when times asked momentous questions to an administration that really wanted to just get back to democrat business as usual?

I'm not trying to stir the pot or "relitigate 2024" by stating the obvious. Whatever his policies were on paper rarely manifested in tangible deliverables for most people. In fact most people probably associate him with snatching away material help as part of the aggressive return-to-work push.

between the 2020 blm protests, covid lockdown and re-emergence, shift to wfh, etc, it really felt like we were on the cusp of some major societal shifts. beyond the first year and a half of steering the ship through covid, the biden admin's response was a tacit "ok, now put everything back"

streaming platforms have robbed us of the randomness that used to be both an essential property of tv watching and a quality that mitigated its addictiveness somewhat. we were wholly beholden to whatever happened to be on! if we didn’t like any of it we were obligated to go do something else!

Victory! People power stops Italy’s energy giant and genocide-profiteer Eni from exporting oil to Israel!

another point for "hostile to human life": I don't get covered with mosquito bites on every available surface when I hang around outside my apartment for 30 minutes. here?

there really needs to be follow labels for the most wormbrained posters on this app. like theophite, faine, bouie,
