Who Even Knows Because I Sure Don't

Dubai Landlord Abdul El-Sayed never met a Jew he didn't want to attack. Starting with making excuses for a guy who tried to kill babies at a synagogue preschool.

there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"

No matter how progressive, compassionate or understanding you think you are, if you routinely dismiss an entire nation of people as bloodthirsty monsters, rejecting the complexity, interiority, and diversity of humanity you allow for yourself and your nation, you’re nothing more than a reactionary bigot, actually.

getting followed by porn bots is weird and that’s coming from a guy with multiple 🥵 concubines

step aside you old cut-sleeve, i shall court these maidens!

the marquis of homo WISHES he had a fraction of my imperial glory!

right so i’m one of the most well regarded emperors in the history of china and you’re the guy who had to put “shut up about the mercury” in his bio

the Terracotta Army guy?

🙄 you build ONE funerary complex with 8000 life-sized statues of soldiers, horses and generals and suddenly you’re “the terracotta army guy.” 🙄 execution.

Stumbling across this makes me feel like a dad whos walked into their kids room beer in hand and seeing them roleplay starwars fights i do not belong here but god its entertaining

to be clear in this scenario im the jedi and im winning

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

lotta people fetishizing the three arrows seem to forget one of the three arrows was anti-Communism

Actually my worry with El Sayed and Maine is that Dems fall precisely those two seats short of flipping the Senate and Republicans keep the majority and then Justices Alito and Thomas die or retire in the next two years and Trump replaces them locking in at least a 5-4 Trump appointed conservative majority to SCOTUS for the next 30 years

Like it's not just one election cycle it's lifetime judicial appointments. I've been screaming about this since 2014. The worst has literally happened and it could still get even worse and like nobody cares.

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

People who say “I hate God but Jesus was Based” really are the pinnacle of cultural Christians who don’t know they’re cultural Christians huh?

Nothing in the rule book says a dog can't play basketball. There are a couple rules against trans women, however, so she'll have to leave.
