allthinky; overqualified for towels

I dunno how anyone might come to this conclusion, but there's several million Americans right now who have not been bored, who have been fighting for their rights, and getting stomped on more than ever by the fascists in charge.

Something else every Dem running for office in Texas needs to hammer:

"They left the bodies of children to rot!"

White washed history tells us that fighting along side their fellow Americans regardless of color showed white people that black people deserved equality.

Reality tells us that black veterans were lynched for having the audacity of wearing their army uniforms after serving.

This is why I was so angry at Brokaw's "Greatest Generation" BS. Sorry, I'm pretty sure the greatest generation was the one that risked getting killed by other Americans in order to try to bring justice to this country.

So while the white members of that generation could tell you stories about fighting Mussolini or Hitler. They don't have good stories about fighting Jim Crow at home.

Remember his dog's name.

Don’t get salt water on the statue. Google “bronze disease.” It would be really bad if this statue got bronze disease. Salt water causes bronze disease so be careful.

I do think that if using the burrito taxi constantly is embarrassing, using the drone burrito taxi is arguably even more embarrassing

Hello pirate friends! Big update to the #OurFlagMeansDeath BTS archive:

ALL 184 high-res images of costumes/props from the Heritage Auctions website have been added. I have also included the HA descriptions in the Details>Comment section of each file. Enjoy x #ofmd #ofmdbts

Yes, Tim Cook will be one of the first against the wall, etc., but look at DJT -- he is playing dress up "OK, I must look serious, and smart, and interested, and also smug, and smart. How's my jacket? OK, it's okay. Now look at the podium. Don't look at the camera. I'm so important. Me." Damn.

DHS apparently has not heard all of the verses.

The Department of Homeland Security embraces a socialist anthem | CNN Woody Guthrie’s classic song is about America’s history of injustice and poverty. Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is using it in ads.

“”Boy, did the DHS ever get it wrong!…. So now, it looks like we’ll all have to sing This Land Is Your Land right back at ‘em, so they can re-learn it and get it right.”

The most Guthrie of Guthrie family comebacks. 👍🏼

Dean Cain in an abandoned phone booth, sewing a second S onto his old uniform...

I think it was Adam Serwer who wrote that it was especially frustrating to keep hearing this when white Americans put their own Farrakhan in the White House

I’m glad Mamdani is in Get His Ass mode about Cuomo, he had always been vaguely respectful of him for most of the primary but the guy couldn’t even be bothered to learn how to say his name. Now the gloves are off

It's such a frustrating thing for the NYT to go from being a dream job on the right day to a place I would rather go and debate journalistic ethics with their newsdesk at instead. The number of ways they've failed the public grows by the week.

Panel 1: 3 people standing next to each other. a man in the middle in a red hat representing a MAGA supporter is yelling at a man holding a phone saying "FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU" Panel 2: The man holding the phone puts up his hand and makes the man disappear. The word "Block" appears over his head and in the top left corner the words "+2 Mental Health" appear in a green box like something out of a video game Panel 3: The third man begins to say "Typical Lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" Panel 4: before he can finish the man with the phone blocks him as well.

Take care of yourself <3

What my Black mother’s involuntary sterilization in 1965 reveals about America today Too often, the plantation mentality endures.

"It is impossible to quantify how many mostly poor and mostly Black women were sterilized at the same time as my mother and Hamer. Each state had its own programs, and, even then, individual doctors could improvise with few consequences."

Minneapolis Animal Care and Control is offering free animal adoption events every Wednesday through September thanks to a grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. https://www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2025/august/macc-adoption-event-fall-2025/

Soon RFK Jr will say it's their own fault for not eating roadkill or something

Sorry, has Dr. Dicken not read any previous studies on weight loss? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

I don’t think it’s the responsibility of the oppressed to find the humanity in their oppressors.

I love Victor Lavalle! The Changeling and The Devil in Silver are also good, and reads the audiobooks, so. :-)

Well, that can't possibly be a problem. I mean, CoreCivic has never acted illegally or unethically for a dollar before.

And the use of generative "A.i." to create images for historical work is ENTIRELY UNETHICAL. Generative "A.i." INVENTS DETAILS. Put that garbage in your books and lectures and you literally FALSIFY THE HISTORICAL RECORD. You destroy knowledge and destroy your own field.

Shame, shame, shame.

Or, like, the 3rd season of OFMD. But yes, agreed.

I want queer period dramas. Not just some secondary character who is gay and is treated like shit for it but one where the central cast are queer and just living their lives. I want Outlander but in the style of Our Flag Meets Death. And I want to have so many shows I'm spoiled for choice.
