I don’t know dude. If James Baldwin was able to write all his work while his friends were being assassinated by the FBI, and while he was living in terror as a gay Black man … then maybe you can write without using A.I.

We've spent five decades pretending that this wannabe mob boss' attempts at mob boss threats are everything other than attempts by a wannabe mob boss at mob boss threats.

Man.

The world fucking is on fire.

So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.

Live whats left of your only life.

If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.

Fuck the haters.

Daniel Pipes – Islamophobia Daniel Pipes is the founder and president of Middle East Forum, an anti-Muslim think tank. Pipes is a longtime advocate of racial and ethnic profiling of the Muslim community.

Daniel Pipes specifically exists to find Muslims anywhere to be anything from inferior to a grave threat. No one should ever believe him when he pretends to be interested in their liberation.

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.

it’s always so embarrassing when Fancy Children try to pretend they’re the salt of the earth, but its extra embarrassing when those Fancy Children decide to complete their romp through the world of the common people with a cheeky working-class Nazi tattoo
