Kereea Says Unionize

And from this I’ve always drawn two conclusions:

To always distrust Mr. Beast and his ilk who always want their acts of charity done on film, because the people who really want to do good and have no motives to do it besides the doing it never want recognition for it, and

Part of the reason they've grown so much in the last 10 years is they were boosted by trumps elections

And of course, they stagnated when Biden was president

Trump will not be President after Jan 2029 (probably sooner), vance is a wuss, and whoever the republican president after that will be someone who can act fucking normal in public, the sense of danger that has boosted the dsa will lessen, especially if Democrats win in 28 and 32

They are gonna implode just like the republicans will when the best day ever comes

This was a historic Black cemetery in Florida and people vandalized and destroyed the graves. That level of hatred does not come from nowhere.

So if conversations about racism, accountability, and protecting spaces from people who have shown they are racist or harmful make you uncomfortable, this probably is not the page for you, and that is fine.

Because every single day there is another story. A racist influencer hurting somebody. A Black child being called slurs. A Black family targeted. A graveyard destroyed. Every day Black people are reminded that simply existing can make us a target.

We will still laugh, joke, create, and enjoy ourselves. But when it is time to speak seriously about what is happening to us, we are going to do that too. And if that feels “too political” or “too much” for you, then this space probably is not meant for you.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

It is once again a thing that was good in a certain situation and then leftists beat it to death.

It comes from "silence equals death," WHICH WAS ABOUT THE AIDS PANDEMIC WHEN RONALD MOTHERFUCKING REAGAN WAS REFUSING TO MENTION IT EXCEPT TO LAUGH ABOUT IT

It literally meant "we, the affected community, have to talk about the fact that it exists because a generation is dying"

Presumptive Democratic congresswoman Darializa Avila Chevalier's opposition to interracial relationships has earned her words of approval from a surprising source—David Duke.

The former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard turned Louisiana lawmaker said he agreed with her desire to keep the bloodlines pure.

“Well, I think that people have the right to preserve their particular heritage," Duke told the Washington Free Beacon after being reached by phone. "And if she's concerned about preserving her heritage if it's Somali, or whatever she is, she's certainly got the right to do that."

Chevalier's position on interracial relationships stems from a now-deleted social media post from September 2019 in which she criticized black and Arab men for "fetishizing ugly colonizer women." Chevalier, who describes herself as "Afro-Latina" and has said she operates "within the black queer feminist lens," is not Somali.

Duke and Chevalier have more in common than may meet the eye. Duke's insurgent 1991 Louisiana gubernatorial campaign—where he was effectively the GOP nominee—caused an uproar in the national Republican Party, which ultimately supported the Democrat (the famously corrupt Edwin Edwards, who won). Chevalier's extreme left-wing views, including those on race, are today causing similar ferment and embarrassment among Democrats, but so far, the national party has yet to disavow her.

The political journalist Mark Halperin on Monday quoted an unnamed "Democratic Party stalwart" fretting that, "Chevalier is our David Duke. She is poisoning the possibility of a Democratic majority."

Duke has in the past found common ground with far-left Democrats over their shared hatred of Israel. In 2019, he called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.)—who, unlike Chevalier, is Somali—"the most important Member of the US Congress" after she accused Jewish lawmakers of dual loyalty to Israel.

Duke has in the past justified his position by arguing "I want to see the continuation of my heritage go on" and that "I think most black and white people in America believe that way."

In his call with the Free Beacon, Duke said he also found much to like in New York City's socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose support of Chevalier was pivotal to her primary victory.

"I think that the new mayor of New York was a step forward," Duke said, even while noting his disagreement with Mamdani over immigration.

"I do believe that there are bigger fish to fry, and I do believe that the immigration policies we talk about were orchestrated by the same elite that has given us these wars.

"His views on Israel are critical, because there's no more important political issue than the fact that a tiny minority of America … the oligarchs of the Jewish people, that they are controlling our foreign policy," Duke added, echoing the antisemitic rhetoric he has espoused over his decades in public life.

In the past, Duke has called Jewish people "a blight" who should "go into the ashcan of history." And much of his public commentary today remains focused on Jewish control of governments and official institutions.

The former Klansman has spent decades in public life, running notable failed campaigns for president and governor of Louisiana. He also ran to represent the state in the Senate and House. In 1989, Duke managed to get himself elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives, serving in the job until January 1992.

In December 2002, Duke pleaded guilty to felony mail fraud and was sentenced to 15 months in prison. In 2006, he spoke at an infamous Holocaust denial conference held in Iran where he asserted that the Nazi use of gas chambers to kill Jews had been a myth, according to Fox News.

In 2005, Duke received a doctorate from the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management in Ukraine.

"I am a historian. I have a legitimate Ph.D. from the largest university in Ukraine," Duke boasted in a recent radio broadcast.

Sony just deleted over 200 movies from their library meaning everyone who bought them no longer has them. They shut down two of their digital storefronts meaning those bits of hardware can only be used to play physical games now and if they were digital only they would be totally useless garbage.

Piracy as a form of digital preservation is also nearly impossible to do with Sony hardware, but trivial on the PC.

Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.

it’s doable; he doesn’t have to know loads about the supernatural to know more than anybody else–he canonically doesn’t know all that much, and is just doing his best.
