Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

This "Lost New York" story is how Margaret Mitchell wrote of the antebellum south in "Gone With the Wind." It's how Henry Hill talked about the pre-Lufthansa Heist days in the New York mob in "Goodfellas."

I'm trying to imagine how quickly a sportswriter would be ostracized for telling a bunch of journalism students that he or she got into sportswriting because they always wanted to hang around athletes. To be sure, some of them act that way, but saying it out loud is insane.

Shawn McCreesh, who wrote today's misty water-colored nostalgia story about Jeffrey Epstein's "Lost New York" at NYT, told St. John's j-school students last year that journalism is great because “It gives you this all-access pass to interact with these people we would otherwise never come across.”

I love how many nyt journalists have fought so hard for 5 days being like "we aren't terminally corrupted by Epstein and the same forces that worked with him! We're real journalists and not executing an agenda! We're not in bed with pedos!" and then the nyt drops this today lol

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Rainbow Capitalism in 2024: "Welcome to the Amazon dot com Love Is Love Pride Pavilion!" Rainbow Capitalism in 2026: "Use code TRANSRIGHTS to save 5% on your ride to the Gender Realignment Camp!"

If your child falls into the gorilla enclosure you’re gonna need a new child. We only have the one gorilla.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

everything worth doing causes weight gain

*scrolling past hot bitches on my phone without looking at them* I cannot do this right now hot bitches

the world has never been less safe, it makes you feel crazy watching people cheer on war and destruction and destablization for profit and land. one day it will end

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

The people outside of a country that they left for whatever reasons should not be listened to over the people who still live in said country. *Exile* politics is always fraught. Exiles have self-interests like everyone else.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting Trump's illegal war against Iran, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

you absolute dipshit, this was from twitter

Now, more than ever:

"yeah america and israel are bombing iran and they blew up a bunch of other countries" weirdo: "this is a distraction from the Epstein files"

Trump hasn't really done anything that the Democrats are willing to send him to prison over. His policies - including the war with US cities and citizens - has been established and carried out by Biden and Obama both. Trump acts without tact because he doesn't understand kayfabe.

today was the day john mccain finally became president

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

hey we're doing an operation called Based Epic Chad. lol. everybody will think this is awesome. we will never end up like Mussolini

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

The US is a violent state that has destroyed countless lives around the world including when the president in power *followed US law*

Cis academic voice "trans women are the real problem in the community."

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

In several rounds of intense negotiations, Tehreran was unable to match the bribes to the Trump family offered by its regional rivals Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.

Netanyahu goads Trump into war by claiming that he has killed far more civilians than Trump has.

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

meanwhile, "she's kinda clocky" is the highest compliment we can pay to cis women

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Why would anybody negotiate in good faith with the US now? Pointless.

The US and Israel desecrate the very idea of diplomatic engagement.

Indeed, the Omanis were used yet again and it is disgusting.

I was right Omani FM:

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

“The victims were between seven and 12 years old, according to Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies.”

does anybody else want a turn at the lathe of heaven

scrawny 18-year-old about to fall out of an army helicopter over tehran: this is so epic. this is totally sigma, right babe? AI e-girl operated by a balding intelligence officer in virginia: that's right baby, Iran is totally cringe

Hidden. 😶‍🌫️

They just love saying that unprovoked mass murder is self defense
