But it lets you in on what is in fact central to Franklin‘s story. Seeing this scene helped free me from the idea of having to sanctify characters with whom I or a reader naturally empathize over parts of their story. to make a saint of a character is at least partly to deny them their wholeness

This is one reason Franklin in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a remarkable character for its time. He’s in a wheelchair; his friends and sister help him out, because he needs help; he’s also a giant pain in the ass and his wheelchair makes everything take a little longer. It’s summer. It’s Texas.

When Trump taps her as his new VP, she’ll be running as Sarah Failin’

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

2025: America watches Canadian bootlegs of journalism about US concentration camps. Nothing is for sale, everything is for rent. Computers will take your job but will be worse than you at it. You make less than ever but can gamble on your credit balance. One racist ket addict gets paid $1 trillion.

I think the "best" part of this (if there is such a thing) is that no one defied Weiss or smuggled this out or broke any laws to release it.

It was an automatic thing sent to an app in another country, because Weiss pulled the story at the last second without doing it properly.

YouTube video by eoin higgins CANCELLED 60 MINUTES CECOT DOC

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

This is not supposition. This is plainly what happened:

People with a financial interest in stealing money from the Pentagon made an "AI" illustration of something World of Warships would reject as "too shit," put Trump branding all over it, and convinced him to let them "build" it.

Fucking idiot.

Sarah Failin’

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

Look, we're not sure if adding asbestos to our product is useful or helpful or something our customers are even interested in, but it's a competitive industry and we have to be willing to adopt asbestos rather than be left behind.

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Where we see confirmed that what is being described as an American peace plan was written by Russians and learn that Witkoff advises the Kremlin on how to fool Trump

unironically i think he wants to impose the conditions of his childhood onto the entire country

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

Are You on Trump’s List of Domestic Terrorists? There’s No Way to Know. The Trump administration is using NSPM-7 to compile the names of alleged domestic terror groups. It won’t tell us who’s on the list.

I'm pretty sure it was this Dick Cheney comic that got me fired from The Washington Post. It was the first time they refused to run one of my weekly comics (after over ten years), and my comic was discontinued soon after.
From 2007:

Is there an application process for the list? Like an online portal or something? Or is it shut down with the government?

Great short thread. ⬇️

What bad faith operators like Third Way mean when they say they want a "big tent" is really the exact same sized tent, they just wanna move it over to include rightwing white people in rural and suburban area, and exclude inconvenient non-white and LGBTQ people in the cites.
