Where we’re going, I don’t want eyes to see

The Orson Welles planet from the 80s Transformers movie, but a sun

What is a sentient sun, like what even *could* that mean

This looks cool as hell

Police and natter

These folks are working with VEAP based in Bloomington, so it seems like they got their ducks in a row

Currently watching a coupla video game sites do a charity stream for MN rent relief and they’re about to crack $200k, incredible stuff

Didn’t even get to smell the onions and the mustard

Just pointing out the similarities in conspiratorial thinking - person grieving a loved one not fitting within a narrowly defined set of grieving behaviors as evidence for some bonkers conspiracy theory

Oh yeah definitely not equating Erica Kirk to the Parkland parents, she’s a ghoul, going out on stage at her husband’s memorial like it’s Wrestlemania

Ow

Similar to how Sandy Hook parents showing anything like a smile at any point in the wake of the shooting was fodder for Alex Jones et al claiming they were all crisis actors

He’s got the Graham Linehan ‘I’m in the middle of a high speed car crash’ look

He’s making more people like him, he just wants to fit in

I’m not crying you’re crying

‘Alright things are starting to go a bit sideways up there, SEND IN THE BITCH’

GAH

How is this not The Onion, how

Every video he shoots where he’s yelling at ICE, I can’t help but think it sounds like a heckling, slightly higher pitched Jimmy Stewart (complimentary).

CMON… GET OUTTA HERE… GO ON HOME!

Lemme just sneak right past ya there

They keep trying to cause a riot so they can clamp down on us harder, and they keep failing. Fucking losers.

You made a firm, provocative claim that ‘elected officials aren’t activists.’ It’s not pedantic to disagree with your claim

I know she was a career politician, I am not a fan of hers, I’m not defining her as an activist, stop clutching your pearls on behalf of activists.

My point is that the boundaries between the two categories are permeable, and I’m using Pelosi as an example only because she’s your fav

Her position was driven by the preferences of her constituents, yes, but in order to affect the change they wanted to see, she had to adopt the position of an activist on this issue

I know her district was in support of equal rights for gay people, and that’s obvious from how I phrased my last post.

My point is that Pelosi’s work from that point was not to simply ‘write and vote on the policies of government.’ She had to *advocate* on behalf of her constituents

That doesn’t make it not activism, when she was representing her California constituents in Congress, which was broadly not in support of gay marriage
