Joanie's Post Post Feminist Phase

The point is that 1940s America's Far Right is the center left of America today.

Truman actually wanted as little to do with the decision to bomb Hiroshima as possible, it was primarily made by the SecDef and SecState. Truman also notably sacked MacArthur for saying he wanted to nuke North Korea.

I love this information thank you.

we are weeks away from 'Trump attempts to make horse a Senator' and the only thing stopping him is that he is too much of a sociopath to form an attachment to animals

I don't want to hear Edmund Burke's hot takes on my coffee order. I want to hear Hegel's hot takes on my go-to fast food and Diogenes' two cents on my choice of breakfast sandwich.

Yeah I mean who knows how many lives would've been improved if Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had not had to work with each other for the duration of the 70s...

One could argue that The Ramones should've called it quits earlier simply bc they made each other miserable and probably woulda done better in life if they'd split up after End of the Century but then we would have neither Bonzo Goes To Bitburg nor that rap album Dee Dee made just to piss off Johnny

Shit I just checked my memory and I'm slightly off. I musta once memorized it to the seventh digit cause I remembered "3.141596" but its actually "3.1415926." Even stronger evidence of a Reddit upbringing.

You can tell I grew up on Reddit cause I still remember Pi to six digits past the decimal despite having had 0 use for any of them since 2013.

Octopi have 3.14 times as many tentacles as octopuses

I thought it prudent to round off. Octopi with non-repeating non-terminating tentacles would be a nightmare to manage.

Minneapolis cartoonist storms out of retirement to take on ICE... with his left hand Steve Sack retired after 42 years when his right hand gave out. Then ICE came to Minneapolis and he learned to draw lefty.

took that hour and invested it in crypto so come november i’ll have no hours left in the day

Beverly could've just been a weird soda that Italians talk abt like TAB but Coca-Cola went and put it in Disney World so now 17 years after being discontinued it is still a flashpoint of controversy between people who think it tastes like dishwater and insane lunatics.

There's a lot of reasons and ways to read, but can we try reading a book to be surprised or ennobled or joyous instead of relegating all books to "reliable dopamine dispenser" and demanding a specific List of Things Books Do

It's real.

Still can’t fucking believe how little “Trump exited the deal that constrained Iran” is in the media discourse of this war

Epic Fury’s frontman asked to leave Warped Tour after inappropriate behavior

That domino meme but it's this to fash forces collapsing in a civil war because like 75% of their troops only exist as AI hallucinations.

Return of the Jedi would be the best one for having the coolest creatures except that Battle For Endor: An Ewok Adventure delivers on those cool creatures without wasting your time on things like "Luke Skywalker" or "The Force" or "dialogue that isn't muppets grunting at each other."

You're right and more people should be talking abt it. I loved the original trilogy as a kid but they are B-Movie ass B-Movies that later started getting taken way too seriously for no good reason.

Happy International Women's Day! 💅🏽

Black Beauty is two words but its chemical name Biphetamine works.

30 Rock was the greatest show . . .

Looking at the fine print realizing this meme is from *2008,* indicated by "the Bush Administration" and "McCain and Obama," it's just that the file on my computer only goes back to 2013

Can this meme from 2013 please age a single day?

Happy International Women's Day to all the international women. Intranational women, your day shall come soon.

Oh yeah I've got some of those. Also some "why did you put this mask on so often didn't you know it would stick?" songs. In recent years Ive taken a major step away from writing abt my own personal damage which has been great both artistically and emotionally.

Yeah its one of the rare times I wish Id been an even more obnoxious stick in the mud abt a piece of art. Those games are little more than a DoD psy op, a combination recruitment drive and normalization campaign with competitive multi-player.

In hindsight we shoulda been more worried when Call of Duty and paintball both got super popular at the same time.
