MAJOR BREAKING: Donald Trump has arrived in China to find that President XI did NOT greet him at the airport.
MAGA is in spin mode heralding the âred carpet treatment,â but the visit is already at a rocky start.
Instead of a presidential welcome, Trump was greeted by US Ambassador to China David Perdue; Xiâs vice president, Han Zheng; Chinaâs Ambassador to Washington Xie Feng; and Executive Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ma Zhaoxu.
Iâm sure Trump would hate if you shared this and rubbed it in all day long.
Oh, Donald, bless your tiny, fragile heart. You jet off to China, bragging about your âvery good friendâ Xi and how he respects you more than anyone else ever has⌠only to get greeted by the diplomatic equivalent of the intern who draws the short straw?
No red carpet, no strongman handshake for the camerasâjust the B-list bureaucrats side-eyeing the guy who spent years calling China a âbankruptâ enemy while secretly begging them for deals.
MAGAâs out here spinning âhistoric welcomeâ like itâs not the most obvious airport snub since your last rally crowd.
Howâs that âArt of the Dealâ working out when even dictators wonât pretend to like you? đ
Keep coping, folks. Trumpâs day is officially ruined.
Me when I realize our human rights and "whether we deserve to live or not" are now a matter of POLITICS (and not...YOU KNOW???? COMMON HUMAN DECENCY????????????), political debate, and "hot, controversial" content idea for politicians and religious figures to get views and clicks.
Please, please, don't listen to them. They don't care about us, they only talk about us because they want clicks. They want likes. They want angry comments. They are using YOUR IDENTITY and YOUR STRUGGLES and YOUR DISCRIMINATION as a "debate" and "content" topic. They are using YOUR identity as a topic about "sin" because it gives them attention, it gives them rage, it gives them clout.
The fact that I don't want myself dead is a "political argument" is crazy. The fact that I don't want MY QUEER AND LGBTQ FRIENDS DEAD IS A "POLITICAL ARGUMENT" IS INSANE.*
*Not saying that you shouldn't use politics to advocate against homophobia, I'm pointing out the fact that LGBTQ people's existence is seen as "political" and "controversial" is CRAZY.
Please, please, to all my queers, don't listen to them. Your human rights should not be a political debate. OUR human rights should not be a political debate. OUR human rights is not a "debate content" idea. OUR human rights is not somebody's political content idea. Please. Please. Please. Please.
OUR EXISTENCE IS NOT POLITCAL NOR CONTROVERSIAL.
can we talk about keith living in the desert alone for almost two years? he must've been sixteen-ish when he got out there, which is terrifying. sure, we all figure he probably had a really bad life in foster homes and such, but living ALONE? SOLELY after shiro had been taking care of him? after being shown that he wasn't worthless and he wouldn't be alone forever, all of that crumples because the one person that cared about him is gone. and what would shiro have thought when he saw the state of keith's living situation? why don't we EVER get to see shiro's side of their relationship? how he's affected by keith in turn of affecting keith? i imagine shiro would FREAK out when he sees that keith's living alone. keith probably didn't have running water. he probably had to steal a lot of stuff because he lived out in the middle of the desert and the only places close by to get food and water was the garrison and some random town. i doubt he had enough money to keep himself afloat. he was eighteen years old and didn't even know how to be an adult. all he knew was how to take care of himself, but i doubt an eighteen year old keith was keeping a steady job. he wasn't even paying rent because that shack was so bent out of shape he shouldn't have even been living there in the first place, but it was the only place he could go since he ran away. shiro would've had a cow. he would've felt so bad. especially, like, that on top of everything else he'd just went through? imagine crash landing back on your home planet after escaping being enslaved by aliens, only to be put under anesthesia and wake up in your best friend/brother's old house and realize he's been living all alone probably ever since you left him two years ago. and you were the only person who had any faith in him.
In the same way that if the genders were reversed for Invisigal and Robert, and that being the only way everyone would instantly see how disgusting and wrong it is,
If the genders were swapped for Blazer and Robert, you guys would also instantly see how coercive and manipulative she is as a boss towards her employee. Imagine if a man took a woman to a bar and got her drunk for a job interview, and got her a second drink after saying she was going to sober up. Then flying said female interviewee with no superpowers of her own onto a billboard and then leaving her there!
I could go on and on, BB does so much weird shit that genuinely makes no sense and it goes entirely unaddressed. Itâs so weird how the game repeatedly chocks her up as this âsuper responsible wholly fully super good and nice woman!!â And then her actions just really donât reflect that

Multiple times this week, I've seen people discussing a change in an adaptation and frame it as, "The creators forgot about this" or "They made a mistake and left it out."
And that framing irrationally annoys me. No, you weirdos, they did not "forget" anything, they didn't "make a mistake." They chose to change or leave out that detail. Your next step upon realizing that should be to ask yourself: why? Why would they choose to make that change? Is it to make things fit better with the new medium? To cut down on time? Tighten up the pacing? Maybe they had a philosophical disagreement with the original work and wanted to challenge it, or maybe they're adapting the early chapters of long-running ongoing and the change brings things more thematically in line with the later installments. Maybe they couldn't render the thing due to limits of budget and/or technology so they decided to do something else instead.
There are as many reasons to make changes in adaptation as there are changes to be made and "They didn't mean to do it" is both the least likely and least interesting answer to the question of why.
When that one post that's going around says, "So many people are bad at critique," this is part of what they mean. If you're going to critique something, you will get more out of it if you approach your critique from the perspective that the creators knew what they were doing and created with intention.
And if you don't do that, it's frankly kind of rude. Would you take critique from someone who starts from the baseline assumption that you are too incompetent, stupid or lazy to do your job properly? Probably not, right? And you shouldn't! Which is why no one else should listen to you if you can't pay the creators the same basic courtesy.
lmao @theburialofstrawberries re. marathi kate sharma calling her dad appa... my unvarnished thoughts are as follows:
ah yes orientalism my old friend - clearly this is just packaging a bunch of signifiers of legible-to-the-west indianness together viz. northie hindu upper caste names, bollywood numbers, haldi ceremony before marriage but literally no other rituals, BANGLES, relatively more 'known' northie languages, chai
keep in mind i am saying this as a tamilian with dark skin roughly the same tone as simone ashley's, who got bullied thoroughly for this in school in india by my fellow indians.... kate sharma being dark-skinned as an upper caste person with the implication that her father, a sharma, is dark-skinned (thx to edwina's skin tones)... sorry this sends me around the bend bc i did not spend my youth reading 1 william ads for "fair-skinned brahmin girl/boy" whenever i flipped through literally any of the newspapers in this country for this... caste and skin colour are not exactly divisible and unrelated in this country, even though yes ofc there are exceptions. people love to ascribe this to the british but one (1) glance at the writings of jyotirao phule should disabuse you of this notion, ykwim?
kate speaking marathi but calling her parents amma and appa... like, listen, i could still suspend my disbelief to some extent bc it could be a situation where her father was transferred from the madras presidency to the bombay presidency on work, but a tamilian willingly teaching their kid bengali and MARATHI over tamil...an old, literary, established classic language.... i have to laugh!!!
tbh speaking of which, am sort of perplexed at the absence of persian in the list of languages taught as accomplishments
some brain geniuses have suggested that perhaps her father was north indian and her mother was south indian to explain all of this, but i would point again to edwina being much darker than mary which just brings us back to our first paradox re. caste and colourism in the subcontinent
perhaps mean, but i do find it fascinating that very little of the caste aspect is raised as a discrepancy re. kate sharma's character and bridgerton worldbuilding re. india but then What To Expect from endless thinkpieces by people with the surname patel
i have to also say that i find it very funny that the very same types also enjoy the very clearly pandering to the western gaze nods to "indian" "culture" as hashtag myindia. can we have some self-respect here guys.
tl;dr: if i think about the "indian" "worldbuilding" for more than 2 minutes my head begins to hurt from the levels of incoherencies produced by the orientalism at play ykwim?
With the very strong caveat that I am getting these panels out of context, I loathe the recent trend in "holding Clark accountable for sending Kara to the orphanage." Putting aside that that's only relevant again because of canon fuckery, referencing it outside of its original context is so dishonest. Obviously if you omit the fact that when Kara arrived in 1959, Clark was a bachelor who himself only had citizenship through legal papers he was assigned at an orphanage and that Kara was a newly arrived teenage girl alien who had no papers, let alone any papers that could prove they were related in some way without his secret identity being revealed (thus compromising their safety and privacy), you can make Clark look worse.
