its awesome that neither mind reading nor god are real and all of the thoughts inside of your head are completely private and consequenceless forever #myprivacy
is everything okay dear? you've hardly touched your pride discourse
Pride month isn't just a date on the calendar. When someone starts talking about he/him lesbians and you feel the urge to lunge at then, that's pride month. When you're in a flame war over whether gay or bisexual men are more problematic, that's pride month. Anywhere there are debates about whether straight people can feel love as deeply as sapphics is pride month. Pride month is anywhere you say something about being gay and get told to eat shit!
pride month.
ok, listen, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up do not say any fuckshit you dumb bastards.
if you want to see sucking and fucking go to folsom street fair in San Fran, that's where you see people bouncing cocks off eachother and it's fine and self contained. No one is sucking and fucking at pride even if I wish they were. Everyone is fine there, yes whatever micro identity you just came up with, no one is stationed at the entryway to each blocked off street with a gaydar detector.
if you see the bank of america pridefloat shut the fuck up about it and ignore it. yeah, I KNOW. I been doin this for damn near 20 years at this point shut the fuck up "ooo corporate pride, pride was a riot" I KNOW. EVERYONE KNOWS. It is way BETTER if the billion dollar corporation thinks you are a non exterminatable customer base they must pander too rather than having no rainbow colored bullshit whatsoever.
shut the fuck up. shut the fuck up. get off the fucking computer. go get rammed up the ass. shut the fuck up.
Thousands to millions of people are going to starve and it was entirely avoidable

Star Wars fandom is really amazing, you have people arguing that the space fascists who - amongst many other things - destroy ecosystems, commit genocides, and enslave people, be it through colonisation or the prison system, for profit would never stoop so low as to use sexual violence as a tool because "that has no place in Star Wars :/"
none of you are serious people
tags from @antlered-vixen hit the nail on its head
it's kinda like when people in fandom - many of which white and/or American - will make jokes about their villainous faves being war criminals, murderers, sadists, etc. or react with amusement at people getting mad that a villain who, if real, would have an international warrant, has fans... but then blow up completely when any sort of the Most Unforgivable Crime (since, y'know, rape is a special kind of evil and worse than murder and torture, which carries some insanely bad implications that rape victims are off worse than if they had gotten killed, but that's another discussion) is more than just hinted at because it hits home too close and is inherently misogynistic
in neither case, real people get harmed because Bix Caleen and the Ghormans don't exist, but the (attempted) crime against the former is extremely visceral to people while the (planned and eventually executed) crime against the latter is so removed from people's reality and maybe something to be read about or seen on the news that they feel more than comfortable making jokes about it
It really speaks volumes about privilege and bias that these Americans, fat on the fruits of imperialism, are so upset that spinoffs of beloved children's superhero series The Justice Friends included an explicit scene of Gorilla-Tron molesting children, even though they never batted an eye when the old "clean" version of the character sent his fascist-coded stormtroopers to destroy the Pixie Planet with his Gorilla Ray. It's not clear exactly what they mean when they complain that "child molestation does not belong in the Justice Friends", but it seems like the only thing it could mean is that they consider it objectively worse than every other misdeed the series has alluded to, including the two times the universe was destroyed. And we can draw a clear link from this phenomenon to the way in which white Americans, unlike everyone else, are more comfortable with depictions of murder than depictions of rape, undoubtedly because of how unrealistic and far-removed the concept of "murder" is to an American.
For real? Look, this is the kind of topic where I'd genuinely be quite interested to see an in-depth cross-cultural analysis about how different national audiences engage with their domestic media. But you can't just think really hard and come up with it in your head, because that is where we get takes like "white people are incongruously upset with depictions of rape because unlike almost all other bad things, they can imagine it happening to them." You've got it, man, the hierarchy of taboo in media for white American audiences precisely corresponds with how worried they are about the depicted events happening to them! This theory is so perfect that we don't need to check it or even think a moment about whether it works.
In all seriousness, though, this kind of thing is why Andor was a terrible idea. This is, what, a gritty prestige drama about Star Wars, the laser sword adventure series for children? It's just a direct insertion into the same continuity, without even the minimal separation afforded by gritty comic reboots asking bold questions like "What if Commander Friendship peed on people?" I have heard people I trust swear up and down that this series is good, but I cannot help but feel that if that's the case, it's a bit wasted on Star Wars, a franchise that does not particularly benefit from having one little enclave which is also The Wire or whatever the hell.

I mean, entirely fair stance tbh. But the context of this post is (afaict) less about star wars in general than specifically comparing reactions to the prospect of imperial soldiers raping someone to the 3-episode plot line of escalating provocations and manufacturing consent for a genocide (culminating in a bunch of sympathetic characters getting massacred on screen) or the multiple torture-via-police-interrogation scenes from the first season.
I think it takes real backflips to interpret "that has no place in Star Wars :/" as something other than a statement about Star Wars in general. Of course, to say that is to imply that it's okay in some things, just not in Star Wars! It's certainly true that if someone draws that line there and not elsewhere, they're suggesting that onscreen rape is even less appropriate to Star Wars than those other things, but, well, this is where it's helpful to have a functional theory about the topic, yes? You'd have to be exceptionally oblivious to imagine this as a characteristic particular to white Americans, or to infer that it's because they think of sexual violence as something that happens to them and conventional violence as something that happens to others.
How oblivious? Well, you'd have to have a pretty poor understanding of the varying attitudes to depictions of sex and violence in general; you'd have to have missed how widely cross-cultural this norm is, or that it holds up regardless of whether the victim or perpetrator is foreign. You'd have to not notice that it applies cross-culturally to real wars, in which people who have no trouble defending their guys' killing of enemy civilians will nonetheless clutch their pearls at the suggestion that any of them might have committed a rape. If your theory about this begins with some sort of cultural psychoanalysis rather than with the fact that it's about sex, you are setting yourself up for failure!
Now the secondary issue is just that it's a bit ridiculous to say "there's no room for genocide in Star Wars" about the bad guys whose initial appearance involves blowing up a major populated world, yes? If they've already made that the Empire's central deal then it mostly becomes a question of how realistically and explicitly you want to depict crimes that were formerly abstract and cartoony, so while I certainly question their decisions, and would guess plenty of the people making these criticisms feel the same, I'm not surprised few people are expressing that as a red line.
Mamdaniâs both-sides reaction to the violent threats outside the New York synagogue are a perfect example of how they fundamentally donât get why anti-Zionism is anti-Semitic.
His spokesperson blamed the synagogue for a purported inappropriate use of a âsacred space,â for holding an event promoting Jewish immigration to Israel. This shows a complete misunderstanding of what it means to be Jewish â we are the Israelite people who pray in that very synagogue several times a day: âBlessed are You, our Lord, Gatherer of the dispersed of His people Israel.â That is part of the daily fundamental Jewish prayer service. Thatâs what synagogues are for.
What makes the synagogue Jewish is not separate from our connection to Israel. Israel is a People. We are not called âJewsâ in English because we practice Judaism. Our rituals and beliefs are called âJudaismâ because they are the traditions of the Jewish people. But our traditions and rituals refer to us by our original Hebrew name, Am Yisrael (the Israelite People), Bânei Yisrael (Children of Israel). When we pray in that daily service âGrant peace, goodness, and blessing, favor, kindness and compassion upon all Israel,â weâre refering to us as a people.
To deny the Jews our identity as the Israelite people is anti-Semitic. No one would deny the Irish peopleâs connection to Ireland or the Greek peopleâs connection to Greece.
The gathering of the Israelite people to our homeland isnât a modern day political position inappropriately intruding into a synagogue. For Mamdani to think so means he doesnât know what we actually say in our sacred spaces: âBlessed are You, our Lord, Who blesses His people Israel with peace.â Donât you dare tell us itâs inappropriate to use our sacred spaces to speak of our own history and traditions.
THAT is what makes anti-Zionism anti-Semitic.
anyway, here's the same synagogue hosting noted war criminals and genocidal monster Bezalel Smotrich, bragging about acting with impunity while they violate international law and steal more Palestinian land in Gaza and the West Bank every day:
The building deserves worse than protesting.
Imagine typing out the OP and thinking it makes Zionism sound natural, sympathetic, and justified instead of making Zionists sound like fundamentalist religious nutjobs on par with ISIS and crusaders.
Foods costs are expected to rise at some point in the coming months once the shipping industry fully runs out of fuel reserves and wholesalers run out of existing stocks, causing the full inflationary impact of the Iran War to emerge. Shortly after that, on October 1, a new set of SNAP food aid cuts from Trumpâs One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 will automatically go into effect. I think there is a real chance that hunger will emerge as a political issue by the end of this year (and if it doesnât, then it should.)
One explanation Iâve heard for why the stock market has been so nonchalant about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is that they are fully convinced it will end before any of that happens. Someone (I think it was JP Morgan?) said in a recent release that the assumptions for their short-term inflation expectations are all based on the idea that Trump will pull back from the war at the exact right second and miraculously reopen the Strait in full. In their mind, Trump dragging the war out any longer than that would be committing economic suicide right before an election, and Trump as a rational actor would not allow that to happen. Buddy, do I got some news for you
JP Morgan's revised framework assumes that âthe pace â of â oil inventory depletion will ultimately force the Strait to reopen "one way or ano
JP Morgan expects Brent crude to remain in the low-$100s for much of 2026, even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens in June, as accelerating inventory draws and logistical bottlenecks keep the oil market tight, the bank said in a note. JP Morgan's revised framework assumes that âthe pace â of â oil inventory depletion will ultimately force the Strait to reopen "one way or another," âwith the bank's base case anchored on a June 1 reopening following a âcredible announcement confirmed by both sides.
It's very funny not understanding why Brent isn't through the roof and trying to figure out what the money people are thinking that they're not in full panic mode, and so you check out a Bloomberg podcast (Odd Lots), and the specialists they're interviewing (Rory Johnston, Gregory Brew) are in full panic mode not understanding why Brent isn't through the roof
October 3, 1992: Sinead OâConnor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an acapella cover of Bob Marleyâs song âWarâ, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying âfight the real enemyâ.
This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.
Please remember she didnât consider it as a career ruiner.Â
To speak on how it âruinedâ her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.
it's just frustrating how you can point out that none of the problems with AI are new and people will interpret that to mean "everything is fine and we just have to accept this new normal", rather than understanding that to mean "we need to change our thinking and tactics to address these issues more broadly and at their root causes instead of buying into AI exceptionalism, which may involve reevaluating other technology we're already alright with"
i guarantee you no person with a conscience is Pro Data Centers Poisoning The Water, and there are a lot of reasons why someone would want to point out that this phenomenon predates ai that don't just come down to running interference for tech industry ghouls.

Racists are not harmless at all but there is still something fundamentally pathetic about how their grievances contrast with the edgy tough guy image they often want to project that would be absolutely comical if not for the consequences it has.
These people are crying "white genocide" the moment a brown guy moves into their town and starts working or (god forbid) dating. There is something so low, so whiny, so fragile about that.
It's like just being around a brown person at all, a completely normal and unremarkable event for most of us, triggers their fight or flight response.
Living that way really would just be constant self-humiliation.
Half of europe treats a half dozen homeless guys in a dinghy the way they would a fully armed battleship.
If a piece of fiction actively engages with its own worldbuilding in order to explore its themes, then it's perfectly fine to analyze the worldbuilding and how it reflects on the themes.
Starship Troopers (novel)
My copy of Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 novel Starship Troopers proudly declares it "the controversial classic of military adventure." Military there is plenty, adventure not so much, but of course the real eye grabber is the controversy, which has mired the novel since its release. Is the futuristic sci-fi society Heinlein depicts fascist? Director Paul Verhoeven, who experienced the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands as a child, sure thought so when he adapted the book into a 1997 film; openly condemnatory of the novel in interviews, he framed shots to mimic Leni Riefenstahl and dressed Neil Patrick Harris in Gestapo uniform to make his point clear.
Verhoeven's film is itself one of the most fascinating Hollywood blockbusters ever made thanks to the satirical gloss it places on the source material, but I intend here to instead focus on the novel itself. I also don't intend to answer whether Starship Troopers is fascist, or libertarian, or some other offshoot (racially integrated fascism, maybe). Instead, I have one really pressing question:
Does the military in Heinlein's military society actually function at all?
sorry, but you were socialized christian. I just can't trust you in a trans space
they literally taught you that trans people were subhuman and that you were better than them. I don't know if you can be trusted around other trans people
they scapegoated and abused you for showing signs of transness? uh... no? christianity is the most privileged religion there is. stop whining
Between 1937 and 1939, thousands of intelligence officers of all ranks died before firing squads or were dispatched to the gulag. . . In his paranoia, Stalin insisted upon not merely the execution of scores of senior officers of the GRU and NKVD, but also on the severance of Moscow Centres relations with their informants in the field, thousands of whom were branded as fascist stool-pigeons. After the destruction of Nazism, in Vienna a veteran NKVD officer met an old German source, one of many who he had broken contact with on orders back 1938. Now, this man demanded of the Russian: âWhere on earth were you all through the war? I was Field Marshal Kesselringâs personal orderly!â

Bureaucracy is good and important, actually.
Except for the spelling of the word "bureaucracy"
Gonna be honest a lot of people deep down view cheating as worse than abuse which is why so many people view downright controlling and manipulative behavior in a relationship as 100% permissible so long as that behavior is centered around either preventing or discovering cheating.
