So, that name for it seems fitting to me. I don't spend much time with your kids, though, so you're the authority on what you can't get past them. :)

Well, stuffed with what? :D

But like ... Why not both?

There's a two-line skit I've seen that I compare to this:

Alice, swiping something from Bob and holding it up: Gotcher mental health problems!
Bob, fiercely: You give that back, it was a gift from my parents!

...I imagine that's look like a brain in a snow globe, with glittery sharp confetti.

These are all good but the last one had me giggling.

If I had to guess, they view deaths and destruction among one or more involved groups as desirable. It's not exactly a humanistic kind of opinion, but of course everyone has a right to have their own.

I'd rather no more of my friends or acquaintances on any side of the conflict die needlessly. 🤷

Have we ever seen Sec Hegseth in jodhpurs? I'm not sure I believe he could pull it off.

I love semantic ambiguity.

Y'all, I don't do this enough. Please help people out if you can, signal boost if you can't - I wish I could buy stuff from all y'all artists but unfortunately that's not realistic for us for the near term, but I can always repost for different readership.

Let's remember this and keep it in mind every time someone proposes, speaks in favor of, or commands mass slaughter or ethnic cleansing, anywhere in the world, against any people or polity.

Sorry, Oct 5th, not 4th.

Is it available online? I am intrigued.

Mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing are intrinsically intolerable and we do not need to make stuff up to oppose it and condemn those who command it.

(Insert Batman breaking a shotgun in half with the words "[Lying] is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.")

Good thing it's not a real quote then.

Mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing are intrinsically intolerable and we do not need to make stuff up to oppose it and condemn those who command it.

I thought this was a joke post, but no, you can look right now (Oct 4th 2025, 1940 UTC) and find these entries.

I can't curate our patients; the best I can do is put on headphones and work on our back end stuff until and unless someone needs my attention in real time. But I can curate my online experience, and I do.

This is pretty close to my opinion as well.

I see antisemitism in the community at work - not directly, but I can usually overhear patients conversing among themselves, and let's face it, low-grade antisemitism is a constant. Everyone's polite to my face, at least.

Online, I have less patience.

You're wrong about Israel not being a homeland pre-19th century, you have been told you're wrong, you know we can prove you're wrong with ancient poetry (Psalms ch 137, for instance), and you're getting defensive about it.

This is gonna make a great screenshot. But we're done here

It's almost as if you naturally think the worst of any logo written on the forehead of a gunskull

Fantastic comment, TY

Smells like 19th century Russian imperial aesthetic over here.

It's not "the self-appointed" homeland, it's been that homeland at least since the Babylonian exile.

Mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing are intrinsically intolerable. We don't have to make shit up to justify our opposition to them.

This made me laugh in the midst of a frustrating day.

"against the actual descendants of Israel" - I get what you're saying, but what does this mean?

A good-faith ceasefire agreement would be a useful start on negotiation a constructive and sustainable peace.

Not just any pornographer, someone creating and distributing pornography without the consent of person(s) depicted.

Should it be likewise a felony? I don't know, but it should probably have the same social stigma.

This brings to mind the old saw about orangutans not speaking because they'd be enslaved if we knew they could.

Humans have a nasty reputation, even in our own eyes, for enslaving sapient beings. It seems well-earned.

I think one of the reasons the Zerg campaign in both StarCraft and StarCraft 2 became available after the Terran campaign is they wanted to show us how corrupt and evil the Confederacy and the Empire are. IIRC we also get to see similar of the UED in the Protoss campaign of Brood War.

Jews, period. We aren't separate nations just because our communities were dispersed (most notably by a European empire).
