All those jokes about the Votoms narrator were accurate, this guy is always fucking on one
votoms announcer: all humans desires a delicious meal, and many think pizza the answer. little do they know that sometimes the pizza is too hot for them, and it burns their mouth.
me: huh
announcer: uoodoo is the pizza
me: ok
announcer: chirico is the cheese
me: sure
"The poor deserve endless cruelty and punishment for being poor" is a foundational belief of this social order, across political parties, among liberals and conservatives. It is evil and unforgivable.
NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert

how about that new Chainsaw Man, btw!
Fujimoto did not invent Tom Cruise. He did not invent watching Tom Cruise movies. He definitely did not invent talking about how we feel complicated ways about his movies vs the person he really is.
Fujimoto probably did invent doing that in that specific way and in that specific context though
the "brand new shape! never been done before!" guy from chairco articulated an aspiration for art: after 20 millennia of human art there's no new ideas under the sun. but we can assemble those ideas into a total, new shape nobody but us could think of. anyway I finished reading Fire Punch today,

if I have to scroll past just ten retweets in a row of genuinely beautiful drawings of boobs I start wishing for the individual targeted "disable RTs" feature again. but apparently some people put up with this all the time specifically for depressing news
twelve THOUSAND people, allegedly, live like this??????
just now clicked through to that FinTwitter headline account profile and saw how much they post. you cannot be serious. people really live their lives following something that tweets a nearly identical headline *fourteen times* in under one minute???
My childhood unironically
the notion that I could have certain expectations of what a god could or should be was sort of liberating. this god didn't meet mine. I haven't ruled the whole concept out but I'm modest about what I can or can't know, and I don't have faith anymore. hence: agnostic
in one of his essays Douglas Adams brings up Pascal's Wager and says, paraphrasing, "if there's a real god, and he actually respects this, I would choose not to worship him" and I read this in my teens and chuckled. and then, slowly, realized that applied to a lot of things I'd been taught about god
drawing this connection is important because it shows a pattern of using the welfare state, intentionally, as a tool of social murder; this is not an isolated case. also the amount of individuals in both groups at the same time is, of course, terrifyingly high and the effects of both compound
the strategy the british state are using with trans care is the exact same as with disability benefits; overwhelm undesirables in bureaucracy then definitively remove any positive outcomes, leading to excess death statistics visible from space
I dont feel very smart today
this fucker led us into another war
screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Womenβs Day (IWD) in 1975βor so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workersβ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to womenβs rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around womenβs rights called βWomanβs Dayβ in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand womenβs suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Womanβs Day into an international day of actionβInternational Working Womenβs Dayβwhich, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.
This post gets it EXACTLY right. At the end of the day, we DON'T KNOW how consciousness works! Therefore ANYTHING might be conscious, and in fact, LIKELY IS. All things have experienced the world in their own way and humanity is merely one throat frayed to bleeding by the wordless scream of history!
I hope it happens today.

MONSTER TALK with King Ghidorah. "The first step to scapegoating a group is to dehumanize it," says Ghidorah. "The real rich guys dehumanized themselves," says Godzilla. "They jumped in the money machine and said 'do me!'" "Who is the victim here?" asks Ghidorah. "Somewhere is an Elon Musk with a leased CRV and a split level ranch whose poker buddies find his edge lord schtick borderline insufferable but who makes it to all his kids birthday parties. Somewhere Jeff Bezos is wearing khaki pants and a braided leather belt and doing on-site tech support for B2B software and daydreaming of how much better his life could be if he could just make $80k. Somewhere Mark Zuckerberg and his young family are living with his in-laws until they can pay off his wife's med school loans and, while he resents it, later when they are in the townhouse and the kids are fully grown he will look back on it as the best time of his life." "So you must destroy the machine," Godzilla says. "The machine first, yes," says Ghidorah. "But you must still DESTROY ALL MONSTERS." "Ahem," says the bandleader. "Not you, Mothra." Godzilla turns to the camera. "Stay tuned for these messages from our sponsors!"
Monster talk.
hang in there bro its always darkest right before the dawn. youre gonna find someone thats right for you
