A Democrat who won't speak up for trans people or genocide victims won't speak up for anybody
Biden paused arms shipments to Saudi for about 3 years. It was one of the better things he actually did. Then he resumed shipments in 2024. 🤷 He sucked and we need to halt all military aid to authoritarian and genocidal states
Yes, we need an arms embargo on Israel asap. But we also need to stop selling weapons PERIOD, especially to genocidal regimes. Fuck the MIC.
You might try beloved and trusted brands like ERWIUU and WGGGGTRO
The Crown could have been a very different program, and it's my hope that in 80 years some enterprising artist gives the Royals the dramatization they actually deserve
So Chuck has clearly lifted the royal umbrella of protection for his pedo brother. How utterly human, if something like Windsor family dynamics ends up being the thing that screws over our royalphilic prez.

Andy was Lizzie's favorite, much to Chuck's understandable resentment.

no matter how much you despise Sulz and his paper, you don't actually despise them enough
This is quite a hed/subhed.
1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex.
2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands
3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.
I know absolutely nothing about UK zoning or urban development but any American will recognize this dynamic. Gentrification is a set of choices, sometimes respecting/compensating the people displaced, and other times?

There are thousands of Black Main Streets buried by highways and stadiums

to be very clear i believe this extends to all podcasters too
I believe Zohran should condemn Hasan because I believe all streamers should be condemned
I don't know how posting "brings war", it is absurd
How does talking about policies of racial apartheid "bring war"

You just repeat the assertion
How does this talk hurt a goddamn thing? Do you really think a frank discussion of the ethnic basis of Israel citizenship is going to end the ceasefire? Don't be silly
"Millions of Muslims live in Israel" is as helpful in this conversation as saying "millions of Blacks live in South Africa" in 1985
It is not tribal and you're misusing the term tribal to describe ethnic nationalism

Judeo-Christian, the phrase that manages to somehow both be antisemitic *and* Islamophobic.
For safety's sake, attend any protest with 4 to 8 other friends, all of you under the same dragon costume, and if the police arrive they'll be too frightened to arrest you because you look like a scary dragon
Wolfe seemed clear on what he thought of homunculi
I'm of course sad that Gene Wolfe is gone, but given that he wrote at least one story about an author being brought back from the dead against his will (can't recommend A Borrowed Man enough), I take solace in being able to groundlessly assert that he would definitely be against AI on principle
This take is entirely created by the internet and is shitty

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA.
MARRY BOOKS.
KILL AI.
Yeah this is a civilizational dynamic so much bigger than current American party politics
Um at best you get people to desert or refuse to fire on protesters

The military historically does not protect the republic, and I'm just gonna say that all of human history shows a... fraught relationship between the sword and popular governance

Almost all of these countries at one point relatively recently had to argue with violence that they had a right to exist. Ask France about Algeria. Or don't, but you get my drift. The UK alone dominated like two thirds of these states!
I agree with this but I also think persuasion flows downstream from power and also always has. Power is self reinforcing but also can be created, ex nihilo, by charisma and social interaction. It's fluid like that.
Power flows downstream from the ability to persuade, and, I would even argue, always has.
I still can't imagine that we can't hold firearms but that we can telekinetically hold firearms

Yeah I'm gonna need to wait for play videos

The UK wouldn't have to worry about banning the most racist and most violent football fans in the world if Israel had been properly excluded from international sports, not just for the genocide but decades ago for the apartheid. As was done for Israel's former ally, apartheid South Africa.
John Bolton belongs in jail but probably not for this 🤷
