Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

I’m very sorry to hear about Donald Trump. Nothing has happened to him, I’m just sorry to hear about him.

I know Tim Cook is just trying to protect his company but saying the president is a “well endowed and quite generous lover” seems a bit too far

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one

PELOSI: Take the shot

we need to think of 'abolishing ICE' as like 'abolishing the Wehrmacht.' Germany still needed an army. Americans will still want some kind of immigration and border authorities. But abolishing the culture, structures, and power-holders of a utterly corrupted and brutal system is important.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Works as advertised

i need a 52 year old man with $800 billion to impregnate my wife . i am worried our offspring wont be sufficiently feeble and/or annoying

Deserved! Your scene with Carla near the end was especially electric, sometimes I'll watch it on its own.

May I submit: grimptimist

Thanks to whoever went to the trouble of morphing me into a dromedary so I could finally fulfill my potential as "Mar🐫".

With few exceptions, it always feels like sci-fi underestimates the size that small craft (ie "fighters") would need to be. Even assuming much improved fuel storage and stuff, most are smaller than current atmospheric fighters.

Hmmm, I'll shorten Mac n Cheese to MacCheese, then. Delicious Scottish fighter pilot.

Post from Brooklyn Dad_Defiant Did you know? If you treat Trump Supporters the way they treat everyone else, they get very upset.

I’ve noticed this, too.

Funny because true.

It's the only sequel movie with significant redeeming qualities, I'll give it that much. I'm in the Rogue One loving camp: It was the glorious return to Star Wars that I wanted force awakens to be.

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

Post: GOP to quietly move Matt Gaetz to a new parish.

I see what he did there.

Also, if you're not sure what to do for a review, you can do a placeholder type--such as one sentence with a rating and say that you're still thinking about it and will come back to the review once you collect all your thoughts. It's algorithm based and each review generates approx 10 organic sales.

The Luke (really the everything) from the original extended universe will always be my canon, but I loved this version as well. Great arc, very satisfying conclusion. Kind of like a star wars ' What If' for me.

Over on @thedailyshow.com Desi Lydic points out that Nancy Mace from 3 yrs ago defended LGBTQ people, calling for equality & saying she had friends and family who were trans. Then notes "the biggest transition was Mace wanting to identify as the center of attention." www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq3h...
