@mikedrucker.bsky.social on Talking Simpsons 🚨

?????

Blistering episode of Bad Hasbara tonight. Adam Johnson @citationspod.bsky.social has a new book tracking the way liberal news outlets sold the Gaza genocide; looking at the data, the explicit policies of news networks, memos and their impact on language, and who sat on their hands.

The Ocean’s Eleven 4K is just about perfect. What an ideal Tuesday night if you discount the unexpected graves.

Happy 30th anniversary to You Got The Dud! @thatbilloakley.bsky.social

imagine how much more we can shake them

In a few weeks we will get to the law of 22 Prairial. "The Revolutionary Tribunal is instituted to punish the enemies of the people..."

From The Athletic Football Show, Robert Mays talking about how other coaches around the league talk about Ben Johnson is worth watching

thinking about the gooners who couldn't be with us for this 💞

Both incredible revolutionaries ofc, but I hope people recognize Uncle Ho as one of the Great Heroes of the 20th Century

Realizing I should get a French Republican calendar for my home

Today is Primidi the 1st of Prairial in the year 234. Prairial is the month of meadows. Today we celebrate alfalfa.#JacobinDay More information on alfalfa

raiden turn the game console off right now #metalgearsolid

i loooooove how mad PCA makes non-Cubs fans, the more people complain the more I am laughing.

Mando reviews extremely bad, maybe baby yoda will be found dead in a ditch and we can rid ourselves of this wretched branch of the franchise

the degradation and dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs is a bipartisan project endorsed by *every* institution of American society, from Hollywood to CNN to our imperial adventures and government officials. Not only is it accepted bigotry, but it is literally your entry pass into the halls of power

What could have led to this moment? Look at how incredibly appalling this segment is. Fox News blaming the San Diego shooting on Iran. There is something deeply perverse about Muslim deaths constantly being repurposed to justify more violence against other Muslims.

Help Elias!

San Diego police said they're looking into "What could have led to this moment." Good question. What could have led to this moment. ca.cair.com/updates/isla...

Joe Scarborough couldn’t say even two sentences about it without mentioning antisemitism. Violent islamophobia must be ignored, and when that’s no longer possible, it has to be muddled and diluted by other issues as much as possible.

It’s very hard to digest how the explicit antimuslim racism on display in the streets of London on Saturday is passing by with no consequences. Very hard not to feel like we’re regarded as second class citizens and fair game to be sacrificed on the alter of pacifying angry voters. Very hard & scary.

damn it really is incredible (derogatory) how little attention violence against Muslims gets compared to literally any other group in this country

Is this one of the biggest open bribes offered in history. Modi talks about tackling 'corruption' every time there's an election, while this is what passes for his foreign policy: convincing the most powerful and wealthy nation in the world to drop charges against his oligarch pal for $10bn.

Baraa is displaced & without proper shelter in the midst of Israel's genocidal siege again. She's lost 2 baby daughters to the genocide. You can help her son Ibrahim survive by sharing & donating. Donations are very few and slow:

Grow up and be a communist. Or continue to think like children

"I ask all of you to think of it, graduates and families alike, let yourself dream of a future in which we can harness this amazing new technology to eliminate entry-level jobs entirely. Indeed, that work has already begun, and that future is now." /college kid booing intensifies "Wow okay,"

The history of the history of Wilmington 1898 is interesting, as the point it broke containment into local consciousness was the Centennial in 1998 That's weird because here is George Rountree III, on the committee for the celebration, in front of his Gran Pappy, who was behind Wilmington 1898

can’t wait for the 2nd Metal Gear master collection when everyone will discover that Big Boss is molded after Che Guevara fighting with Sandinistas against the CIA and their new class of AI Weapons

"Grant Morrison once told me that if I took the time and effort to really write a great comic that mattered to me, the people who would most benefit from it, who needed a comic like that in their lives, would eventually find it." - Barb Lien-Cooper

remember when Louisiana was like "maybe we should remove this monument that is engraved with 'this honors the very cool time we overthrew the government because white supremacy is true and good'" and we got another a bunch of articles about wokenesd going too far

In 1898 Wilmington, NC elected a fusionist, biracial government, to which the state responded by massacring Black residents and instituting a white supremacist government. It is officially recognized as a coup d’état and I assume most Americans never heard of it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilming...

just a reminder, if you care one iota about birth rates or demographics you are a fascist.

jesus christ wales is so fucking on it. the government of wales conducted in welsh! fuck!

Lotta cock talk in this one

Do you ever feel like something very bad is coming?

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

I don’t want to see another thing about birth rates. Fuck this country

Capitalism is younger than the pendulum clock and barely the same age as bifocals. I’m so sick of people acting like it’s an eternal, natural law.

I also hate this “it’s not new” shtick because the concept of working 40-70 hours a week for a wage and giving up your surplus labor for the accumulation of private capital is pretty new! It’s 200ish years old in true effect and much much younger in parts of the globe outside the Anglosphere

What if Gray Fox, that is. Also for those keeping score, Outer Heaven, in which Fox was an ally to snake in stopping big boss and Zanzibar, in which he joins his former commander to enlist more child soldiers maps onto pre and post black water

The ICC has allegedly requested arrest warrants for Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and three other Israeli "political / military officials".

China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty and eliminated absolute poverty. Nearly every socialist project has achieved universal housing, literacy, healthcare. Liberalism has esconced a series of world-historic pedophiles atop the international order armed with nuclear weapons.

Sana’s take is probably the sharpest version of the whole AOC/MTG debate. It gets at the central contradiction, that some people understand immediately why partnering with white supremacists is unacceptable, but suddenly discover nuance when the ally in question is a liberal Zionist.

CDOT just installed new bike parking at Promontory Point! We worked with the Alderman to bring this much needed amenity to the Point. Just in time for this beautiful weather.
