Wait? That didn't kill his ambitions, on top of all the other things that came to light?

That's not a unit of measurement, you can have four score meters.

I mean he has gotten more possessed howdy dudy puppet with age.

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

He really is the ultimate Republican intern isn't he?

Giant immortal Lincoln would have made us convert to the metric system.

Okay, I feel the need to say this.
Again.
If you are working on a project with other people?
Have a contract.
Oh, but if it's all casual, and with friends, and you've agreed to the terms verbally?
Have. A. Contract.

Trump officials awarded Venezuela oil-sale contracts to firms tied to bribery The Trump administration awarded $500 million in contracts for Venezuelan oil sales to two firms with a history of bribery and corruption.

So just this week,

5. Story of small boy in ICE detention who is ill and misses his hat and backpack

Can we end this, already?

Jupiter Ascending, 2015.

Oh you mean the company funded by PETER THIEL?

Some day there will be a Republican intern who somehow manages to achieve both at once.

I'm an athiest but shit like this mskes me want to believe in hell for people like this.

The local TEXAS POLICE are helping ICE. Guess jack-booted thugs and a tyrannical government they rallied against was f-ing BS!

Heck even when you do catch people who are spouting bold faced lies, it will turn out the things they actually believed were the stupidest/most unhinged things. 2/2

Listen, from experience if you ever listen to a person and think to yourself "surely they don't actually think that? No one is that stupid/unhinged, right?" unfortunately they more often than not are. 1/2

Horrifyingly, lies or incompetence are equally likely in this regime, as is incompetent lies.

Also expect Dinosaur/Archasaur taxonomy and debate to get hot, because Pterosaur "feathers" are also a recent thing, and tiny fuzzy early ornthisuchsns, because the ornithosceldia vs orthosuchia debate is due for new flames.

So technical detail that's probably a whole new kingdom, not likely an animal at all either. The "it's a secert third thing" option, but for biological taxonomy. Which is only going to reopen the "what really was going on in the Ediacaran?" debate all over, if not weirder questions.

Because if looking at history and personal experience shows me anything, it's that it's never worth it. Those that ask that question, no matter who they are, no matter the reason, are not to be trusted, because they'll either stab me in the back, or look the other way while someone else does. 8/8

Especially as globally attacks on queer people of all stripes continues to escalate and countries with previously better track records backslide into oppression. I'm not sidelining that, for myself or anyone else, for ideological purity, for calls of solidarity, for anything. 7/8

And yeah Hockey culture and social expectations also keep everyone else in the closet, and there's a whole spectrum of that shown. But that's not the same as facing prison, or even death at the hands of the state. And those being different is absolutely not something we should lose sight of. 6/8

No, Shane doesn't face and deal the same kind of racism as he does with homophobia, but it's not like he doesn't people insisting on uncomfortably pointing it out, multiple times to treat him like inspiration porn, or how that intersects with him being in the closet. 5/8

But you know what let's also go into the absolutely abysmal media literacy if not just bad faith reading here, because the show does not ignore homophobia or even racism for that matter, but god forbid we actually employ analysis and nuance on media. 4/8

Good grief. This is "why is gay stuff at a protest about inequality" or "trans people aren't a good look at the abortion protest" while entertaining fantasies about "the revolution" like it's the Biblical second coming so you don't actually have to ask what things will look like after. 3/8

Also, Russia? Putin's Russia? Why waste text defending thrm, like what they're somehow the legitimate inheritors of the Soviet Union just because they seem to be on the other side of the geopolitics divide? Like the oligarchs, fascism, and entanglement with US politics? 2/8

Are we really doing this? Like is 2026 discourse determined to make me relive every shitty part of having been involved in left activism in early 2010s? We do not need to be pick mes for the kinds of so-called leftists who all salivating at the chance to call it "bourgeois decadence" again. 1/8

Are you sure it's just twice?
