Piper

Some days I wish I wasn’t atheist as these men simply do not live long enough for adequate punishment what the sweet fuck this is so dark

A Maelstrom of Salamanders sounds like it’s already the title of a 100 gecs song tbh

I do think they intentionally try to inculcate rage addictions into their audience.

Neither live in our state. This is just normal levels of harassment. If you are a Dem and you think someone to your left is the problem, I just cannot tell you how wrong you are.

No communist calls at 8 pm to call me or my boss slurs for simply working for or being a Democratic woman in office.

I have so much respect for how often Mamdani just… presents his opponent’s words or actions without comment.

The confidence. The true grasp of the poaster’s heart. The quality.

Fantastic shot, Cassandra.

The most beatable man. Twice.

i: spaghetti eggrolls

😭

🤬🤬🤬

someone good at art teach me how to incorporate this art into my joker face paint i am becoming the joker 1.6% i am so goddamn upset

The hypothetical is “what would a Chinese person say if we didn’t drop the nukes at the time” meant to imply that they’d be upset cus the war wouldn’t have ended.

Which simply isn’t supported by events. Japan still would’ve surrendered prior to a mainland invasion if we didn’t drop the nukes.

I didn’t say any of that lol. The Manchuria invasion likely isn’t possible and definitely isn’t decisive without the island hoping campaign or the astonishing US naval campaign. Super weird that you trivialize all that to nukes

I said Manchuria, not the nukes, was the final decider in surrender.

It’s the Piper essence

This is my hill and I vow to die upon it.

Can confirm

Lol I’m an elected Dem’s staffer, not a Bernie Bro.

Also, didn’t he have a whole streak of immensely popular rallies in the Midwest earlier this year? Stop relitigating 2016 and try to at least update to 2024.

It’s just so constant. I’ve had five or six calls like this one today.

I feel like people just do not get how dedicated to hating “the left” 24/7 a decent chunk of the MAGA cult is.

Screenshot of a google voice notification of a forwarded call from our office where the caller left a voice mail: “You liberal fucking turd resign you cunt.”

This person doesn’t even live in our state, much less our district. Boss isn’t in the news, our legislature isn’t even in session. Dude’s just cold calling Dems to shout slurs for the love of the game.

I’m sure the constant exposure to this stuff isn’t bad for my mental health.

Wow, lads have been doing muffler deletes since before the New Deal.

How dare I not personally know your entire comment history when you’re the one who came at me with nonsense?

I will never recover from this devastating retort and I now believe the utter devastation of IJ positions in Manchuria played no role in their surrender despite Hirohito saying it did.

I’m not your personal history professor and the IJ surrender debates are extremely well documented. You’re more than welcome to just go read now that I’ve pointed you in the right direction.

I will note: losing a city over a few hours (conventional) or five minutes has no strategic difference.

Text of Hirohito's Radio Rescript To our good and loyal subjects: After pondering deeply the gen eral trends of the world and the actual conditions obtaining in our empire today, we have decided to effect a settlement of the present ...

Yes.

“the Soviet Union has entered the war against us, [and] to continue the war ... would [endanger] the very foundation of the Empire's existence."

Japan was ready to fight an invasion with spears—can’t bomb all the bamboo—but you can’t fight without food, and their breadbasket was Manchuria.

I was told by Schumer that he'd be *concerned* should this happen.

I’ve always wondered if the woman who managed not to spill her coffee when the healthcare CEO died of spontaneous lead poisoning bothered to call the cops or not.

As it happens, “Feminist whore with a Jezebel spirit” is my brand, my motto, and my aspiration.

A screen shot of the UNOSAT Gaza Strip Comprehensive Building Damage Assessment showing the damage to Gaza and the cited destruction figures. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/11816edccdc24205990a33b1b3afd259 The relevant destruction figures for Hiroshima and Nagasaki can be found here: https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/research-files/united-states-strategic-bombing-survey-effects-atomic-bombs-hiroshima-and?documentid=NA&pagenumber=11

80 years ago we dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima that damaged ~6k (6.6%) and destroyed ~62k buildings (69%) of the city's ~90k. Days later our bomb destroyed ~22.7% of buildings in Nagasaki.

Israel's "precision bombing" has damaged ~59k (24%) and destroyed ~102k (41%) buildings in Gaza, so far.

“I’m super glad the Soviet army obliterated the Imperial Japanese positions in Manchuria in literal days and caused the Japanese Empire to surrender” probably, if I had to guess.

💯

The literal premise of capitalism. Tax the winners so losers can try, try again, thereby maximizing entrepreneurship, competition, and innovation.

This isn’t even a “leftist” platform. It’s just capitalism instead of neoliberalism.

Equality is when, no matter what intersectionalities one is born with, the event of acquiring power instantly metamorphoses you into a new, unique demographic: the unaccountable, amoral entitled elite.

Much as all cops are blue, all ladder pullers are ladder pullers.
