"hey i dont know what that word means"

"well, does it look like any words that you do know?

statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged. this is a conspiracy to undo literacy progress and make the proletariat dumber and more malleable istg

no like fr tho how can any literate human think that *sounding out words* is not an important skill to learn??? my brother is a middle school teacher and apparently half his kids just flat-out cannot sound out words. they have no concept of how English letters combine to represent sounds it's insane

learned abt three cueing the other day and it's legit driving me insane how did anyone ever think this was a good idea

i wouldnt say "out of the cult" so much as "under new management"

wait is there actual fraud involved now? last i heard his thesis was just kinda not very good. kinda thought the whole thing was a bit of a nothingburger ngl

ok but like sometimes the filibuster also protects *me* from the republican base too and i do think that's a good thing at least sometimes

protecting women like I protect my funko pop collection

Americans want any democrat except the ones theyve seen on TV and until Dems start treating media the way Republicans do that's probably not gonna change

the world shall see our colors and tremble

this is why I, a True American, fight only under the Ordained and Holy flag of the Great Nation of Rhode Island

how can we be certain that you'll be a good debt slave if you have no debt? how can we know you'll be faithful to your new debt when you just threw the old one in the trash like it was a worthless burden to you?

they know that. that they've picked this talking point shows how desperate they are to justify this to a base that they know isn't having it

the best film viewing experience I have ever had was getting catatonically high while watching megalopolis with friends. could not tell you anything about what happens in the movie but then, neither can any of my sober friends

and I think it's having the intended effect. or at least it has been so far. look at the insane, casual, open racism directed at Mamdani the last few months. I honestly don't think that'd have flown in like, 2018.

i think vice signalling is the most useful lens to view this through. like they aren't even being very effective at rounding up and deporting people, but they want to signal to their base and everyone else that openly embracing racism and violence is acceptable again

if this era of politics doesn't end with us showing the chuds what real open borders look like from their prison TVs, we will have failed as a society

what's with the "lowest price since 2019" when the 2024 one is literally lower?

I mean I don't want to call things too early, but these sorts of hate campaigns rarely last more than one or two elections. We'll see if this translates into less legislative attacks, but I kinda doubt it.

hopefully the gop will be too busy chasing down hallucinated hordes of undocumented voters to actually do the work of disenfranchising the real voters

statistically speaking, the punishment for committing genocide is an unusually long and fulfilling life

notes and tips: add some vinegar to the soup when you add the fresh veggies for a very nice flavor boost (do not do this if you're adding in dried beans or any other legume, it'll make them take way longer to cook)

4. remove the veggies from the stock

5. Shred or chop the chicken, return to the stock with some fresh carrots, celery, and anything else you want

6. salt and season to taste and simmer until the veggies are tender

7. add noodles, if you want

chicken soup is easy to make, exceptionally cheap, and can be made in bulk

1. throw some bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, a carrot, a celery stick and an onion in a pot with some water. add some spices or herbs if you feel like.

2. simmer until it looks delicious.

3. remove and de-bone chicken

apparently not, judging by the QTs

she wants so badly to be important it's embarrassing

look I'm not looking to get into an argument or anything, but no, he didn't. you're thinking of the 2020 recession. Trump was president in 2020.

Republicans are actively working to overturn Obergefell, and will likely succeed. Trump having a class-traitor treasury secretary doesn't change that. How many "not-hyper-informed" voters do you think even know that Trump has a treasury secretary in the first place?

Sincerity is *especially* important to the uninformed voters. They're voting based on vibes. How many times did you hear "well, i may not like what he says, but i believe he's being honest" in 2016?

We oughta be agitating for twenty fucking dollars by now but they've successfully stalled for so long that the bare minimum demands seem like fantasy

TWELVE DOLLARS. TWELVE.
