All three of the original Alien movies are to a certain extent about the horrors of capitalism and the treatment of the working classes by corporations, but staged in outer space. Cameron’s version deepens the critique in Scott’s.

Harvey Milk served in the Navy during the Korean War, but was discharged in 1955, not for any misconduct, but because he was gay. And now his name is being removed from a Navy vessel, once again not because of anything he did wrong, but because he was gay. It's the same hate from the same scum.

what I saw on the streets of Minneapolis today was a clear escalation by an extremely reactionary and incredibly well armed group of paramilitary government enforcers that are looking to escalate on the ground massively. Today was very very different then other actions in the city by police or feds.

"but my nostalgia" "but she doesn't own the fandom" "but I'm not going to give her money I'm just going to keep her property culturally relevant forever" "but also I'm definitely going to give her money and just pretend I didn't" Children's media consumed by adults funding fascism. Wild.

Just learned from @nicolerprause.bsky.social that JK is hosting an event that wants to frame pornography as violence against women and Mary Sharpe will be speaking. Sharpe is a karezza enthusiast, a sexual practice that teaches that orgasms are harmful to women. www.thenational.scot/news/nationa...

I have never in my life, seen anything like this, and I would actually like to ask anyone else if they’ve ever seen whole groups of federal officials obscuring their names and replacing it with “the others” or if this is new.

“We need a Democratic Joe Rogan” Well here’s an example of an incredibly popular entertainer that was already liberal coded making her most significant foray yet into politics and the Democrats want to shut her down for articulating views held by 70% of Americans

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly

Up to 7,400 Americans could “literally die” each year because of the cuts to SNAP, Medicare, and Medicaid alone. Trump is going to let thousands of Americans die each year just to fund more tax breaks for himself and his mega-rich friends. This is what an oligarchy looks like.

Take a person in a position of power. Any philosophy stating they earned it and should keep it is going to appeal to them. Any philosophy that says they should give up power will strike them as incorrect. You can make a lot of money writing books for the rich justifying their bullshit.

The fact that Imane Khelif was identified at birth as female, raised female and was physiologically understood to be female right up until someone DNA tested her 2 years ago proves that the entire concept of biological sex is a moving goal post based on what authorities want to change it to.

This is truly the part that kills me. Donald sells clicks, so you need to write about him. So you do. But so fast you don't notice it, in the blink of an eye, the pattern- & story- making parts of your brain have both sanewashed him & created a logical framework for his actions that is nonexistent
