I'm just blocking all the people I don't know who keep posting about how much they love Stranger Things and it feels so oddly liberating.

In case you were wondering what they're really going to do instead of just releasing the files.
It's DARVO from beginning to end with MAGA. They are criminals who have no clue how to be good people. They literally don't know how.

I don't sympathize with crocodile tears. The GOP are Nazis and they couldn't care less about anyone who isn't a White Christofascist so they're current "outrage" is just more fake blubbering.
While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Because our media is bought and paid for by the people pulling the strings.
Duh.
Duh.
How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

The main difference between people who want to ban books and me:
They would feel threatened by that quote.
I feel *energized* by it.

I gave up on this show three seasons ago. I endured the last two seasons because I'm a sadist. Kate Bush was the only redeeming quality of one entire season.
Sorry if you love this show, but I think they took it to all the wrong places.

As we gather with friends and family to reflect, here’s what I’m grateful for — and why I fight for it every day.

I know some of you think there isn't much to be thankful for but I am thankful for this:
My life
My wife
My friends
My mom
My sanity
Courage
Empathy
Free speech
Human rights
Knowing I can help
Knowing others can too
And feeling there is still hope and good reasons to fight back.
Hope is not lost.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

If you haven't yet picked up on the fact that Elon Musk, Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are about very literally ending the United States, you still don't see what's going on.
As angry as people are right now, they still don't actually see this clearly enough.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The official US Department of Homeland Security's Twitter account is operated out of Israel.
Take all the time you need to process that.
This is the most corrupt and foreign influenced government we have ever had in our history.
Nothing else even comes close.

This does sum up the absurdity of where we are at right now.
It's insane that this crap went from conspiracy theory to a somewhat accurate reflection of reality.

Didn't particularly like the first one much and I'm honestly very confused why this thing is so popular, esp given how blatantly weird the lead stars press tour went both times. But I'm probably just not the audience for this one and that's fine.
“Wicked: For Good” is second only to “A Minecraft Movie” for 2025’s biggest opening weekend.

It's gross and hateful and Trump should be impeached and out of office immediately. All true.
That being said, it's quite something that their lives had to be threatened personally before the Dems finally grew a backbone. I'm not saying they should stop now but where was this intensity 8 years ago?
