"Cool Zone New Year" was meant to be a joke

Given that ACA should have been single-payer and didn't cut health insurance vultures out of the equation, and this entailed last-minute, behind-closed-door meetings with insurance lobbyists? Essentially yes, even if ACA was an improvement over status quo ante

YouTube video by CNN Watch John Oliver urge Trump to run for President

Trump was always a monster but prior to 2016 he was definitely also a joke candidate

This is what people said about Trump in 2015

...the white nationalism?? The fuck is going on with these lady smut books?

the whole concept of illegal immigration is stupid as shit honestly "sorry i drew a line on this map which means that i'm morally justified in ruining the entire life you've built for yourself here" shut the fuck up microhitler

Underscores that in practice, truancy laws function as the childrens' equivalent of anti-strike laws.

And I say this as someone who believes strongly in universal public education

The "break" in question was disinflation, not deflation.

A bit like stopping/slowing down a knife mid-stab without ever pulling it even partway out before shoving it in deeper

it’s pretty funny to make a world where everything is based on computer. and then fuck that part up specifically

Given how much bullshit some of these people have to unlearn before they can learn I would call it reeducation

The worst thing about this song is it reminds me constantly that it's not "I'm Hooked on a Feeling"

To its credit it gave us one of the best Eccojams tracks

No, let them cook. It might be a keystone Millenial Emo song but it's also an Incel Anthem and I don't think it's an ironic one

And all that's left wgen that fades is Axl's indulgent, extended vocal riffs.

A bit like having a favorite RPG ruined by hours of unskippable cutscenes and dialogue boxes after playing it the tenth time

This is the first one in the replies that I truly disagree with and yet I can at least grasp why you would hate it. Slash's riffs lost their impact after getting played at least 12 times a day on rock stations

I hear "We Didn't Start the Fire" and ask, did you do anything to try to put it out?

It feels like apologia for lib boomers who either sold out or pussed out during the Reagan Reaction

This and "Baby It's Cold Outside" are like the definitive Incel Christmas Anthems and I despise them both

There are several sections of State and Revolution where you can just swap out proper nouns and it might as well have been published in the past decade

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

This meme died too early

👊🧊

I grew up in a city with a lot of Black and brown students and I'm only a few years younger than you. This has been normal for longer than you likely realize, at least outside of overwhelmingly white/rich school districts

This is the same country with a well-documented school-to-prison pipeline and school shooter drills (as in, like fire drills). However fucked up you think US primary/secondary education is, it's probably at least three times worse

The exact function of "zero tolerance" policies that get both kids in trouble after a fight even when one kid clearly started it by attacking or provoking the other

Apparently that's essentially what he is, normally antagonizing service workers who cannot afford to stop being polite and professional lest they get fired

This is textbook suit-and-tie Nazi behavior. Extremely hypocritical and infuriating but not the least bit unusual

This was the cherry/icing on top if anything. The punch adds literal weight to the mockery

The *moment* he stops antagonizing a captive audience he Finds Out

danny's original tweet which reads, Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest. I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’. Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement. What is happening to America? there is a 47 second video that sees multiple other kids talk smack to him and one of them just lays into him physically

a quote tweet that has transcription from the punch. the tweet reads:“You’re gonna punch me?” “Yeah” “Then you’re gonna in trouble for that” “Okay” Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week. the frame in question is the kid winding up for a punch. it looks exactly like the pepe punching meme

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao

the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes

What a way to start the weekend.

Feeling like shit? Here's a morale boost:

The motion blur is an essential element of the original frame. 'Shopping that out made it *worse*
