Farage has openly campaigned on racism, nativism, and xenophobia, his entire political career. Yet, to the media, he can only be said to have been "dogged by allegations" because nobody can prove he spoke slurs. This is white supremacy defining the terms so as to endlessly obfuscate the issue.

This is the original video. I don't like how misleading it is - it quotes the WRONG PART of what Tori said about Eminem to portray it as her teaching the world that the song is about a Bad Person Actually when her idea had been that none of Eminem's panickers or fans cared how Kim "felt"

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

As the Shinigami Eyes guidelines say, violence against the oppressed is such a trivial thing to be against that it tells you little else about the person's prejudices. Even the most committed misogynists almost never think that murdering women is good, so "murdering women is bad" is a weak point
i like the idea that there was something someone could add to the piece as if (to your point) it was not sufficiently obvious how violent the act depicted by the song was. i personally can't listen to it and have to skip every time but mmlp2 did such a better analysis of its flaws lol

Interesting development in the race for this year's UK Christmas no. 1, which counts streaming. Unfair advantage? Sharp practice? (Mentioned in this article on UK charity single for Palestine: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...)

Dwayne McDuffie made fun of the character and Bendis (I think?) In this Justice League Of America comic page
Apparently the silent panel originally had him ask if he could use the n-word and the editor cut it, hence the weird last panel

Receiving a product is only part of the reason a client pays someone. The other, sometimes bigger reason, is they get off on controlling someone else.

Speaking as someone who has watched way, way, way too many clips of Eminem circa 2001 announcing that he doesn't use that word to literally refer to gay people, this video of a coked up Tucker Carlson gave me the most rancid Boss Baby vibes imaginable

Here's a picture of Mary Habberfield, who, as the sound editor for Ealing Studios, was responsible for the famous 'Guggle Glub Gurgle' sound effect from 'The Man in the White Suit'.
It only took five years to find a photo of her. 🤷♂️
