Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

considering how often people say nice things about the deceased at funerals and then add, "if only so-and-so were alive to hear that!" i can see the logic

but yes, that's heavy

Column: Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation was shockingly hypocritical. But there may be a silver lining Barrett’s confirmation should finally convince American voters that Republicans don't deserve to control the U.S. Senate.

rules only exist when they are observed

trump will not observe this just like republicans do not observe the rules they write themselves

we tell ourselves silver linings stories but that's just so we can sleep at night

saying you're the amazon of ai is like saying you're the disney of film studios, because you've used monopolistic practices to suppress competition or bought them outright, and deliver an increasingly costly yet shitty experience to consumers, but you own literally everything they enjoy so fuck them

labeling a company as a supply-chain risk is something that would ordinarily follow either a third-party risk-management assessment, a business impact analysis, or a dependency mapping exercise

this is just petty politics

i love how the song dictates how we're supposed to feel about the character

awful song: we're supposed to think they suck

cool song: we're supposed to think they're cool

old song: we're supposed to think they're out-of-touch

world music song: they listen to npr

music supervision matters!
