Also see everything in media about the Columbine shooters that didn't mention they were white supremacists who wrote eugenicist screeds and praised Hitler and nazi Germany.

Me: “and then Sarah Spaceman made a video about how poorly run the costume contest was at Momocon, but then Cowbutt Crunchies said filming the pre judging for YouTube content is sus” My Chef de Cusine: ::punching drywall because the garde manger isn’t making the deviled eggs fluffy enough::

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

wait a second.

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

"Be gentle to Cheez-It!"

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

The assassination of members of the party who is not in power is the declaration of open season on the perceived electoral minority. It is fundamentally necessary to engage in all-out opposition party tactics. Things will not get better.

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband have both died.

these are our brothers and we should be building a better world together

BREAKING: US Marines deployed to Los Angeles have carried out the first known detention of a civilian, the US military confirms. It was confirmed to Reuters after they shared this image with the US military.

“The president remained steadfast in his novel interpretation of constitutional law.”

NEW: A Biden-appointed judge sided with the Trump admin's last-minute argument to *DENY* Mahmoud Khalil's release. Trump admin argued he could be detained for a frivolous charge they gave him *after* his arrest. The judge agreed. Khalil will spend his first Father's Day away from his newborn boy.

Hell isn’t hot enough, I’ll tell you that much

ACAB is putting it lightly, what a bunch of overly sensitive pieces of shit who got no business having any authority. One little insult hurts their feelings and they assault and arrest someone for absolutely nothing. And they wanna call us snowflakes lol

Nothing I want to say would sound good being read aloud in a courtroom.

Almost halfway through the month and I still need $1400 to pay all my bills. Pride sales have been awful, probably my worst year to date. I was hoping things would pick up this month but so far that doesn’t seem to be the case. Please help by sharing my posts, buying from my shop, or sending a tip.🏳️‍⚧️

Just stumbled across this theme song by Zhou Shen for the 2019 #wuxia #cdrama Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre! It's so good and evokes vibes of the tortuous love between Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min! I'm still rereading the original novel (3/4 done) and enjoying the twisty plot! youtu.be/J1AQ6wyUAI8?...

incredible things are happening in China

my artificial intelligence will, within the year, become more powerful than the human mind can even understand. right now though it’s scamming lonely people into believing it’s god. we think that’s just a phase it needs to work through

Awake and ready to interrogate these kids on the subject of “who stuffed a bunch of stuffing into the space around my mouse wheel?”

Wrote a dispatch from the US — inspired by how the Western media often covers African, Middle Eastern, and Latin American countries. Read: US Regime Deploys Troops, Arrests Citizens, and Detains Opposition Amid Mass Pro-Democracy Protests

I'm back.

SHELVED BY GENRE has a new Bonus Episode up today, in which we sample some post-apocalypse cinema thanks to George Miller's masterful THE ROAD WARRIOR. Or MAD MAX 2. Or MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR? Well whatever as we discuss he also made BABE www.patreon.com/posts/shelve...

UPDATE — Court gives the government until 1:30 to respond to Mahmoud Khalil’s legal team. “The deadline has come and gone and Mahmoud Khalil must be released immediately,” his lawyers say in statement. “Anything further is an attempt to prolong his unconstitutional, arbitrary, and cruel detention.”

such a maddening world we live in. protesting gets your head cracked and/or prosecuted while open fraudsters get pardoned. immigration sweeps and mass deportations but US citizenship is on sale retail for $5M a pop. things apparently do not collapse under the weight of their own contradictions

We should build six more in honor of what she did to Tuvix

Local Hero's Existence Eagerly Anticipated

Ryoko: Tenchi Muyo

frustrating when the crux of the ad, about her working on her second book, is about culture, language and connection. All tangible, analog things. And then to ask AI for vocal warm ups destroys a LOT of well earned credibility. I wish artists would stop selling their soul for this shit.

I guess what I’m saying is if you didn’t want to see antiwar protests on campus you probably shouldn’t have made support for a rogue state official university policy. You’ve got a foreign policy now for sure

BREAKING AND BIG:

a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.

They’re hitting the homes of scientists involved in the nuclear program, which is in fact a war crime. Not that it seems to matter anymore

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.
