i said several years ago that I no longer believed that, if I as a Jew needed Israel to fulfill its purpose as a refuge for Jews, it would be available to me in that situation. a lot has happened since then and none of it moves the needle the good direction.

it's not the biggest trump scandal obviously but lack of media curiosity about trump's obviously fake golf victories is a microcosm of how journalists have treated him for the past decade

a regime that could consolidate itself would be able to hold the Olympics and use it as a propaganda display, like Hitler did in the 1930s. The fact that you cannot imagine Trump pulling this off should say a lot about his weaknesses

“X didn’t stop Hitler” is a worthless argument because it is trivially true for any x other than military intervention by foreign powers.

South Park Leftism really is probably the best term for this phenomenon.

In the long run, South Park is probably the most culturally influential product of the late 20th century. We talk about "South Park Republicans" but hating libs and seeing caring as cringe has never been restricted to the right

for cis folks out there who need to read it in a publication in order to really believe it, in states with no state-level protection, you can now fire trans people for being trans & no institution will fight you on our behalf & refuse to rent to us without fear of reprisal. we will need real allies.

One thing you notice as a feminist is that feminism gets linked to, and implicitly blamed, for every malignant political force or failure. Feminism becomes a collaborator with empire, a driver of neoliberalism, a motivator for the carceral state. Malignant and all powerful, yet never defined.

This is exactly Thanos’s motivation in the MCU. He got one dumb, malicious idea in his head, got laughed off, then set about assembling the power to fulfill that dumb, malicious idea no matter the consequences.

“These four researchers, all of whom have history of neutrality, if not outright support of the concepts of porn addiction, have conducted a meta-analysis of research on pornography and concluded that porn use does not predict problems with porn, but that religiosity does.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Almost exactly 500 years since the last time a world power pulled a move this staggeringly stupid. In 1525 the Ming Emperor burned the entire Chinese fleet, taking China from being the greatest naval power in the world, to having NO fleet. And leaving tens of thousands of unemployed sailors. 1/2

The message from every Democrat and Democratic aligned politician right now should be: Fuck these tarriffs, fuck Donald Trump, and fuck the Republican Party This is not a policy debate, it’s a fight against a would be king and it’s time to show would be kings what for like clean it up, but yeah

this is awful and cowardly but one thing it does suggest is that when people do finally turn on Trump it will be all at once whatever the dam break moment is, if we actually get there, it will be an absolute torrent

This is not a parody article, Nintendo take 30% of this mans income even after he was in prison for hacking charges, until he's paid the debt or dies. Said debt would take him 1000+ years to pay off at his current income as it's in the tens of millions.

One way you can tell the "You're just noticing now?" types are full of shit is that people who actually live under repressive regimes are aware of minute gradations of bad, and keenly attuned to local fluctuations in badness.

i'm sure silksong is gonna be good, but my one fear is that they double down on super hard soulsy boss fights. the focus on those is maybe my least favorite thing about modern, post-HK metroidvanias. i never beat HK despite loving it because i eventually just got tired of retrying a late game boss
