It's always alarmed me how many parents think their kids owe them and thus can never be held accountable. Nonsense! Cut them off if they suck (if you're able to), good riddance, end the cycle of freaks being allowed to wield influence

These are the five candidates I'm ranking! Exact order of the last three remains to be determined, but this is my slate! Remember friends, we gotta fill our five choices with NON-CUOMO candidates to block Cuomo. Don't rank Cuomo at all and leave nothing blank! #RankTheSlate

No actually, that phrase always meant removing an artist's intent from one's own analysis of their work. It was a method of analysis. It never was a pass for the artists' bad behavior. That's a completely different thing.

they absolutely were going to have Diamondback in the movie too like she was cast and everything and you can tell because the movie is actually very awkward that it doesn't have ANY female main characters or a romance plot for Sam? Brave New World is very bad and choppy

Ehud Olmert on previously defending Israel against accusations of war crimes: “In recent weeks I’ve been no longer able to do so. What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: the indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians. […] Yes, Israel is committing war crimes.”

Y'all do realize that your TTRPG character can play a musical instrument, or sing or dance, without being a "Bard" right?

When I read a TTRPG or superhero background that includes the phrasing "trained literally since birth", this is what pops into my mind. "The hereditary protector of Trash City, the Coon was trained literally since birth..."

Abolish ICE. And do not rank Cuomo in the primary. He's not gonna do anything to stop this. He's functionally a Republican. Don't even put him on your list, friends. Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, Myrie, Ramos. Those are a good five. Rank 'em how you want. But leave Cuomo entirely OFF.

Great idea but fair warning: I've been doing it for years and look how it's turned out for me and everyone like me - defunded, marginalized, passed over in favor of people who are easier to get along with, easier to listen to, less intense. Solidarity, I've discovered, is most important of all
