I love that the premise of every theme park ride is you embark on a leisurely and totally safe tour of an impossibly dangerous death trap and then within three seconds of sitting down the narrator goes “Welcome aboard! Over to your left that’s OH NO THEY ESCAPED, HANG ON THIS IS GONNA GET BUMPY.”

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

He will be significantly more radical than US liberals in many ways while being simultaneously more reactionary than the US right. He is situated in a tradition that is upstream of modernity and trying to look at it through a vulgar political lens is pointless and frustrating.

Catholicism simply shouldn't be approached through the lens of US politics. There are "liberal" & "conservative" factions in the church hierarchy, but they do not map neatly onto the contours of ideological debates here.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

“Male loneliness” is kind of the perfect antifeminist complaint, because it articulates the moral logic of patriarchal entitlement very neatly: that men deserve women’s attention, company, devotion, sex, and care, and women should provide these to men even at the cost of their own wellbeing.

It is true that there are cold, pragmatic reasons why we have to pay attention to Cis Men’s Problems (because they’re the demographic that overwhelmingly do the most violence): I also think it’s equally important that everyone else be granted permission to be pissed off about this hostage situation
