toxic masculinity in a nutshell

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

It was inevitable.

Rep Ro Khanna today said he saw instructions given by Trump to the FBI directing that they redact references to interactions with him in the testimony of Epstein victims. This would appear to be one of the passages that was supposed to have been redacted.

This stele was found in Kalaba Village (later Kalaba District) of Ankara where I was born and lived till at age 40 So now I am sitting in front of it thinking about the steadiness of stone, the fluidity of our lives, the illusiveness of time

Istanbul not feeling it this morning

People often say w/pride, 'I'm not interested in politics.' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.' If we mean to keep any control over our world & lives, we must be interested in politics. -M Gellhorn

Power distorts discourse. Any conversation changes when a figure of power comes in. So when the richest man on Earth enters the room full of engineers and planetary astronomers, nobody's laughing.

Some people are taking the Bad Bunny show harder than others

"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

LOUDER FOR THE FOLKS IN THE BACK

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Jeff Bezos makes enough money to fully fund this literally every two minutes.

😮‍💨

yes - men write books and films with female chatacters after a lifetime of utter incuriosity about women's lives and experience, men read/watch them and develop their attitude towards women, continuting the tradition of incuriosity

Well said

"To fully realize public banking’s potential, however, we must recognize that loans alone are insufficient for addressing all public needs."

It never ends well when one person has a lot of power over another.

за абс всяко унижение, което претърпи една жена, ще се намери обяснение защо сама си е виновна или в най-лошия случай защо трябва да престане да реве за глупости

the 'too big to fail' video of yesterday was sooooo right

Crazy thought: maybe billionaire vanity projects aren't such a great model for essential civic functions.

Ох а ако видите във фейса, най-голямата утайка от БГ зионисти как са налапали и постват ли, постват тая малоумна пропаганда.

Meditations On A Delivery Robot Steering To Avoid A Homeless Man On The Sidewalk That robot steering its way around that man on the sidewalk is revealing more truth about the kind of world we are living in than you will ever receive from the corporate media. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/meditation...

starting to feel like the country is taking a Too Big To Fail approach to the Epstein files and paired with all the fascism and Horrors it kind of feels ripe for major systems change and I think we should discuss that more openly tbh

epstein: "i am a proud jewish supremacist zionist who works for the mossad and the israeli pm is my secret best friend" tusk: "you are a russian spy"

това гледище съм го чувала стотици пъти от всякакви съвсем обикновени хора. това е всъщност нормалната реакция на подобни истории. възмущението е изключение. женомразието и експлоатацията на жените не признава класови граници

THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?

I'm reminded of the ending of Line of Duty (the best police show of all time, period) which SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . rather than reveal who the mastermind orchestrating police corruption was, established merely that corruption is an organic part of an organisation like the police force

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

The excerpts from the Epstein file is frying my brain. It's like it is unable to process such evil depravity. Rape, pedophilia, murder, cannibalism? Used to think of it all as conspiracy theory. The ones who run this world are killing and eating babies wtf. Feel like throwing up ngl.

There are reports that the recent Epstein files include cannibalism. I haven’t reviewed them myself yet, there’s a large volume. Over a decade ago, a Mexican model who escaped one of his parties made similar claims to press. She was not taken seriously. But she was arrested and then disappeared.

#GVerse #Disturbing A redacted Epstein files image shows what looks like a baby between two pieces of chicken. Other files refer to witness testimony of cannibalism. People need to be arrayed and hanged for this.

In the Epstein Files there are hundreds of accusations of child rape, torture, murder, even cannibalism involving billionaires, Congressmen, celebrities, and the President of the United States. Yet there’s less Media coverage than there was for Hillary’s emails in 2016 or the price of eggs in 2014.

Thought I'd finally read Doppelganger by Naomi Klein and, well, quite

Just like Israel. Only imagine 13 y olds carrying the rifles

It's funny seeing Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's full name all the time. They missed a trick by not rebranding him Andrew Saxe Coburg Gotha.

This is actually very interesting because that’s what people get wrong about the Middle Ages as well. Simply put: you might know how to build aqueducts from self healing concrete but you might lose the need *and* capability to do so. Three separate things. Many misunderstand how societies adapt. 1/

If you think of universal basic income as just "more money," you aren't understanding it and what makes it so different and effective. The fact it comes at a regular frequency is a key factor. When you know that whatever happens next month, you can still buy food, that's a huge deal. It's STABILITY

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

It bugs me when people call Epstein and men like him paedophiles. They're not; they're powerful men who can exploit the lower classes (women and children), and do it in order to assert their dominance and demonstrate their impunity. Calling it paedophilia obscures the systemic element of abuse

причината за нормализираното сексуализиране на подрастващи момичета (сиг сте чували аргумента, че телата им вече са готови за размножаване или че изглеждат зрели) е дехуманизацията на жените. жената не е човек, а тяло; значи когато тялото узрее, е годно за употреба
