I like how MAGAs forgot they attacked Congress on Jan 6 and are claiming they would never be sore losers like the left, just because there's been a bit of anti-capitalist graffiti here or there

You know what's romantic? Taking dance classes together. You know what's not? Watching a bride & groom gingerly execute a painfully slow choreography because their dancing experience consists of the 10-week crash course they just finished last weekend, all poses & no artistic sensibility

I just watched TV news for the first time in years. The anchor was trying to be light-hearted and said, "grandma core is also a reaction to fast fashion, whatever that is. I mean, we know what it is," and stammered through a BSed definition. 🤦

This 40 year old AirBNB host is taking advantage of the fact that young girls don't have the budget to leave & they're in his house where he has all the power, to pressure them into giving him their numbers. Why does the danger have to be more overt than that for AirBNB to accept a report?

Hey, white progressives on XHS, when they ask, "overseas Chinese vs locals, who's lying about America," it would help a lot if you didn't reinforce the othering of Chinese Americans

I'm astounded how quickly some people pivoted to complete faith in AI especially ChatGPT.

Americans have a remarkable ability to center themselves even when they're trying to be contrite. "This must be our western influence on you, I'm sorry," erm, well, I hate to break it to you but other cultures are independently capable of stigmatizing mental health in your absence…

The irony is not lost on me that mainlanders consider themselves more filial and Chinese with their skin-"brightening" treatments than ABCs who match their foundation to the skin tone their ancestors actually bequeathed to them.

I looked up Koreansmas on Google Trends and Naver DataLab. Naver had 100 hits on Jan 24 2023 and never again. Google Trends showed one or two americans looking it up and someone from Andorra. I think Chinese netizens mad at "Lunar" New Year may have invented the holiday they're accusing Koreans of

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you the chaos cascade (200+ exec orders) isn't dysfunction — it's disaster capitalism's playbook. your confusion = their strategy.

Hot takes I can't post on XHS: 1) it's weird for chinese users to police the use of "Rednote" when it's the official english name of the app

Half-baked thought: what if native nations established processes for foreigners to apply for their approval to live in the states, so they get a No-one-is-illegal-on-stolen-land letter saying "The ___ Nation endorses __ __'s petition for residency on ancestral lands"?

I need people to pause before they pick an argument and ask themselves, "Are we talking about shoulds or dos? Because if someone is talking about a do, shoulds are not helpful.

🚨 BREAKING: In the DEI hire of the century, Buckley Carlson, son of Tucker Carlson, is joining Vice President J.D. Vance's office as deputy press secretary. MAGA opposes helping minorities but has no issue with nepotism when it benefits their own. Hypocrisy noted.

Who's the girl who said, "I would be so embarrassed to admit that someone who doesn't even speak english or have a driver's license still managed to get ahead of me in life" and can we get that on a billboard

I could accept everyone becoming dumber if we were also becoming nicer (golden retriever-fication) instead of getting more evil

Do dubbers consume local media? I feel like a good dub listens to how the local language is scripted and delivered, and then finds a way to inject the cadence and stuff into the dub so it feels more familiar but a lot of dubs have too much love for the original language & it comes out overcooked,

To those re-evaluating how they use social media to protect their mental health: Bluesky has MANY features you can use to curate what you do & don't see. I use "mute <word/name>" feature a lot these days. I also never engage w/trolls, just BLOCK. publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/bl... #BlueSkyTips

Fascism starts with “tell them how to live” and ends with “you were only supposed to tell them how to live” but with a lot of senseless violence, suffering and death in between.

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

Just a reminder to everyone who voted for trump because you wanted lower prices on shit: You ain't getting it. He admitted it. Said it's too hard. But he has ALREADY enriched himself and his wealthy friends with his and Melania's shit coins. He doesn't give a fuck about you.

Rather than "Save the _" it's more correct to say, "Spare the _." You are not saving anyone, you are begging the powers that be to spare the rest of the world from their improvidence.

I get that celebrity news is a mirror that helps folks understand what everyone else's values are or something, but beyond wanting to see justice served and everyone doing their jobs in general, I frankly don't care.

Aakash Singh feels like the Yin to Daniel Sloss's Yang. One preaches true love to the masses across the globe while the other rolls up his sleeves and wades into the front row to chop weak couples in two, one at a time.

My Oneplus 7 Pro is still alive and kicking, I just can't afford to keep replacing that huge curved screen. If I could get that (esp the popup camera) but in a narrower, flat screen that doesn't burn in the navigation icons within a month, that would be my next phone.
