Very much so. I see a lot of people who use "two things can be true" as pretext to bash one specific group or thing while posturing as somehow being an "objective" arbiter.

Israel's systematic attempts to kill the entire Iranian opposition leadership in Iran is indicative of what (some) of us have been saying— Israel doesn't not want to turn the IRI into a democratic republican state, it wants there to be no state. It wants a rubble-state, Gaza or Yemen or worse.

I block people who are annoying in OTHER people’s replies. It’s a hobby at this point. Block hunting.

Absolutely. Specific folks and topics are like magnets for bad people

That BAFTA dumpster fire was the perfect time to just sit and observe all the kinds of people that need to be blocked into oblivion.

A wise and righteous decision. Cultivate your social media experience to your liking. I see people with bad vibes in anybody's mentions and I zap their asses.

I know a lot is going on, but I just wanna say everyone looked so beautiful at the NAACP Image Awards in what felt like a clear-throated and visual rebuke of the BAFTAs. Self-regard and self-presentation are powerful.

It's not even spicy, so you're just slathering your food in slightly less sweet honey. Keep that garbage off my plate thank you very much!

So apparently hot honey is the latest food fad. I'm seeing it pop up at every damn eatery and fast food joint.

And I have to be honest here, that shit stinks.

That door stays closed

Snickers definitely the gold standard.

Milky Way is probably my 2nd.

Also, peanut butter M&M's have crack in them.

I love how it's been reported that even Warner's contacted the BBC to get them to ax the outburst from the recording. Yet these lunkheads are still out here trying to run the "Actually these were all just innocent mistakes" playbook

I saved this screenshot of Emily Gallagher talking about why she endorsed Delgado bc it’s such a perfect summary of exactly how Hochul acted in 2022 too.

She is a bad governor. We deserve better. And now she has no real reason to constrain her most centrist Republican urges.

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Eh...I don't want to sound closed minded, but let's just say that my experiences with 2) were incredibly eye-opening in ways that I'm not exactly looking to revisit.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Will again point out how hilariously stupid it is that the people who are given the biggest platforms to discuss the NBA very clearly hate the sport itself.

Earlier today I watched Udonis Haslem diagram a play in-studio to demonstrate how the Heat were trying to bottle up Kevin Durant.

This evening I randomly turn on the ABC pre-game show and am immediately met with that biscuit head ass whiner throwing yet another tantrum about the Lakers.

Will again return to my hobbyhorse of pointing out that this new media lineup has thrown into very sharp release how abysmal Disney/ESPN has handled their NBA broadcast production.

Nothing wrong with cracking some heads on occasion

I would sooner jab my ear with an ice pick than listen to Charles Barkley's thoughts on the Lakers

This is an excellent piece and I'm absolutely going to crib "white agitation" for future use because it is the perfect descriptor.

Black Celebration, White Agitation What a truly bizarre Black History Month.

After *three* years, I decided to pick my pen back up and discuss “the BAFTA incident” at length.

I'm not going to quote post because I don't want to dog pile.

But when people say, "don't heckle the staff," this isn't 2010.

We're not talking about normal people choosing normal govt staffing jobs.

This is 2026 where we're kidnapping foreign officials and building concentration camps.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork.

The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

As with most things, a term coined within Black circles has broken containment (also I believe it originated with Charlemagne so that it's own basket of problems) and I'm not especially pleased to see the kinds of people who are latching onto it

Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate — but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

The goal *is* the wasteland-ification of much of MENA so that Israel and the Emirates can rule over rubble.

Those who speculate that without IRI the US will finally clamp down on Israel's transgressions in other arenas are deluded beyond comprehension. If one takes the likes of Blinken, Lew, Hochstein and McGurk at their word, which their word is nearly identical to that of Kushner, this will not happen.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Post See new posts Conversation Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader The Islamic regime is claiming more than 50+ “martyrs” were killed at a girls school in Minab …except they forgot to mention that the school is literally part of the Asif corps of the IRGC on base, which was targeted. Not only that, it’s also being used as an IRGC admin, command and medical facility at this time. Meanwhile, Anti-regime media has said no students were killed nor was the school itself the target.

Those school girls were soldiers and therefore deserved to be obliterated by a US/Israeli bomb, but also they're not dead but also it'd be good if they were dead
