ugh, the "chosen one" portrayal is especially galling. very colonialist, almost white savior and "great man theory"-esque (regardless of ramsey's gender identity and race). especially when put up against portraying the indigenous kaniela ing as somehow antagonistic to shark conservation

For 40 years, paleontologists have grappled over whether a small tyrannosaur โ named Nanotyrannus โ was its own animal, or simply a teenage T.rex. The debate has been ... contentious. Which is why it's so fun to finally be able to say this:
Folks? Nanotyrannus is real.

if he wants to show contrition and make the world a better place, running for the senate is not the way
underlying vance's sentiment here is the almost definitionally conservative laziness that states they, and only they, should not be expected to do any work to accomplish anything (the same laziness that is also foundational to vance's racism here); everyone else has to work to accommodate them
29.10.2025 18:09 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0this part is typical republican-weird: "i want to live next to people i have something in common with"
how can you know if you have something in common with your neighbors if you don't try to find out?
and what if the only thing you have in common with your neighbor is you speak the same language?
it'll be interesting to see whether the liberal response to this will be more like their silence about cuomo's racists attacks against mamdani or more like their outrage at accurately reporting on planter having a nazi tattoo, murdering brown people for blackwater, and blaming women for being raped

i want any of these chuckleheads to define what "democratize" means when they use it, because coding is not meaningfully gatekept. if one wants to learn C++ or Python or whatever, one can very easily do that. that's exceptionally available to the people
