The penalty for failing to comply with an immigration official is not summary execution in the street, you fucker

It’s extremely funny that hordes of Quants are accusing this of being an endorsement of climate deniers or anti-vaxxers Like, last I checked, those people tend to passionately believe that plagues and cataclysms are okay because mitigating them would hamper The Chart going up

"Macro economic metrics don't guarantee that all actual individuals are doing well financially" is a pretty obvious statement yet these guys want to argue that if unemployment is down this quarter then you must be lying if you say you got laid off.

This is less about being anti data analysis and more about the way that the flippant attitudes of the people who deliver their analyses can be broadly alienating to people with qualitative experiences that don't match their findings. Their desire is to scold and feel superior, not to educate.

“very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines” Modern capitalist economics is in fact nothing like vaccines repeatedly shown to be effective through repeated peer reviewed practice. To equate the two is disgusting.

Not pictured: The Indie Dev who invested eight years of their free time, and every other spare cent from their dead-end day-job to make an incredible game people complain is overpriced at $15 and will never make enough money back to so much as break even on their investment.

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

And it's still iconic! Idc about Snipes personally, but seeing him with N'Bushe Wright meant something! The gall to ruin it with those weak sallow savior sequels and then fumble Mahershala is still enraging

River Town

Turtrucken

Because those other genres are "respectable." 🤮

UH OH, stop the presses! Obama is "Dressed like Hitler"! This is how you sound.

How white nerds are reacting to the colorblind casting for Them Dragons™️, is how they’ve always reacted anytime they don’t see themselves reflected in media. It’s why as a Black nerd I started projecting blackness onto non-human characters in cartoons. Like Goliath from Gargoyles, or Panthero from

The Thundercats. There’s so much racism in the comic book community, and in the nerd community in general. And if I’m being completely honest? That’s why I segregate myself when it comes to nerd gatherings. I ALWAYS seek out Blerds.

They’re so desperate to maintain control of a party whose base hates them they think they can just dictate shit and people won’t notice or care. Then wonder why they lose. Though tbh I don’t think they CARE if they lose as long as the $$$ is rolling in.

That's real...

When I said I wanted to be choked and have my ass destroyed, this isn't what I had in mind

in the wake of Amy Acton's anti-trans turn in Ohio, I will re-up this @bostonreview.bsky.social essay where I make the case that abandoning trans rights is BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base w/o winning over a single new voter... www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

"I understand you're upset in our proposal to throw you into a woodchipper if elected. But why can't you look past that to see the good things we plan to do? Besides, you can't let those other people win, can you? They'd put you in a woodchipper."

What you're experiencing in this past year is what all the rest of us felt like dealing with Republicans and a good chunk of Democrats our entire lives.

Momentarily embarrassed nazi is a better term

People have been trained to jump to subtextual analysis & skip right over the text of what others are saying. To have a genuine discussion you actually have to be willing to steelman someone's words and grasp their rhetorical function. In other words, it requires empathy.

carville hanging on to his guest contributor slots w/ a death grip after advising ONE lucky shot prez campaign in the 90s is a fucking indictment of the american media landscape if there ever was one

It just shouldn't be this…sh-hard…

No bc I would be him, and he’s fitted!

I beat my own ass every single day. This shapeshifter is in a for a bad time.

I never understood why shapeshifters shapeshift into you like they’re about to beat you with your package you been working on all your life. Losing strategy. You can’t beat most people by shapeshifting into them. We’re too self-loathing. You might fuck around & get gorilla pounded to death.

That escalated quickly. Recently, I experienced this insane light mood. Light and fog everywhere. #landscapephotography #landschaftsfotografie #fog

one of the lies told about the supposed benefits of capitalism is that “competition breeds innovation and lowers prices” when capitalism has proven time and again that it will violently silence competition in favor of consolidation every single time

I, a lifelong republican, am extremely committed to democrats winning and don't care about policies at all! However it just happens to turn out to he the case that the only way democrats can win is by adopting all my policy preferences and becoming 2003 republicans.

Right, believing otherwise would be admitting their own complicity to themselves.

“But Reagan didn’t support killing Americans” Gay men would like to have a word with you. Oh wait, most gay men who were alive in that era are fucking dead. Maybe learn some god damn history you privileged shitbag.

Batman the animated series essentially adapts the entire Batman Mythos up to that point into a kind of streamlined 30s art deco but with computers experience that is so influential they reimagined dull joke characters like Mr Freeze into beloved villains or created all new icons like Harley Quinn.

Liz Cheney did not have to ask Kamala Harris for concessions. The US was already bombing extensively, the only thing a Cheney cares about, and Harris was happy to continue.

Laughing the entire fuck out loud. I've been supporting Dems, entirely against my own policy preferences, since your ilk was glazing W.

Without saying your age, what's your favourite movie that came out when you were 18?

See also: The " inefficiency" of providing safe work conditions. The "inefficiency" of treating humans as humans and giving breaks. The "inefficiency" of not punching employees in the dick for amusement.

Losing to the baby you bathed sounds like a Greek myth

I'm in trouble after neglecting to roll joints for a party. I was derelict in my doobies.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

Accurate.

This is a FACT men on the left need to wrap their heads around. You’re not anti-fascist unless you see the struggle against misogyny as equally important to the struggle against racism. I said what I said. The End.

People that meet me always let it slip and get so ashamed around me, like no bby this is a safe space say it again.

another favorite flow. Possibly my all time favorite Smi track. youtu.be/OaajruePgSw?...

One of my favorite flows of his is in this track. He locks in and just floatssss. (I think this song is about Jean Deaux) ((i know they ain’t together no more)) (((but yeah))) youtu.be/Ia8KF5SsrIM?...

Every day this guy does something like this and every day the same people who dress him up as a terrifying commie destroyer of civilization do a dozen things to sabotage the public good, to murder and destroy and hate and kill, and I can't anymore handle those who won't see the clear difference.
