Sure Looked Strange To Me

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

62 8

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

no it’s worse. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.

i have a way to correct those stats

Victor Frankenstein after achieving the impossible and building a fucking person from scraps of the dead: Oh god, ew, ew it's ugly! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew! Ew! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew!

The whole Jason Arday story reminds me a lot of the Mamdani (and now El-Sayed) Derangement Syndrome right wingers have, just to name an example. They’ll brand them as “Islamists” or “radicals” meanwhile they’re lukewarm liberals, run of the mill progressives you’d normally encounter in American politics and it’s really because this was never meant to happen. People of colour were never meant to be in positions of power or high positions and it enrages them. And this has nothing to do with Arday’s credibility or lack thereof, otherwise these people would have no problem with white people who fail upwards. People like Musk who take credit for things they didn’t do, or even white people whose legacy merely rests on mediocrity.

This is relevant to art also because it is becoming increasingly difficult to find reference images online during simple searches.

in case folk outside the UK aren't abreast of our news, the British press just hounded a black academic to death

"Olaf will have a girlfriend in Frozen 3" Not [cocks gun] if I have anything to say about it

Does anyone else find this kind of weird? Like, first of all, jokes about Olaf stopped being funny back in 2015. We get it, we're threatening a goofy looking children's character with violence, haha. But second of all, it's definitely kind of strange that of all the characters that have come out since, we still fixate on the most obviously gay-coded mascot to hate on? Like we all remember the homophobic jokes being made about him when the movie came out, right?

okay I'll concede you got me on the Josh Gad point, but I still think you're reading too much into it. Right wing chuds, as you say, don't need some sneaky reason to make edgy jokes about their homophobia, they have too many irl targets to have to use a Disney character for that

many of you just. genuinely don’t believe that people can grow and change.

this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
