the far left : poverty is always bad and getting worse :: the far right : crime is always bad and getting worse

once you notice this you can't unsee it

and it makes it impossible to take credit for movement on either of these issues because what are you, insensitive to those suffering?

Literally no one said this. Somehow your entire band of overly online weirdos have hallucinated this idea that if anyone pointed out the economy as a whole was thriving from 2021-2024, they were personally attacking anyone who did not do better during that span. It’s infuriating

There entire thrust was 'you must be a liar or a loser if you are worse off or treading water harder' and it's like, nooooo, I was already that close to poverty line supporting 2 people on 57k, and there's probably enough people like me that blowing smoke and sunshine about how good it was wrong.

It’s not just bad morally, it’s also bad art. “Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones” has no point or purpose, it’s just a mad lib

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 11h

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones? AI Could Make It Happen Soon

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Screenshot includes an AI generated image of what looks like a human cross between Daenaerys Targaryen and Marilyn Monroe on the back of a dragon.

Not the point, but I love the vibe of knights in the Americas and just the transitional period from medieval to modernity in general.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News:

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver

Honestly, I think Poison Ivy can do better than Harley Quinn. Ivy's a big girl terrorist. Really cramps her style to be with someone who fights with Batman more than against him the past decade.

Thanks to thermostatic politics, America keeps alternating between punching itself in the face and bandaging its injuries. While the UK has been hitting itself in the balls with a hammer nonstop since the 50s.

There was a guy who actually tried to do just that (wanna say it was Washington) and he got killed.

They could (if these types were serious and not just sea lioning) at least highlight the dude seeing as how actually walked the talk and paid the ultimate price.

'I Am Antifa': One Activist's Violent Death Became A Symbol For The Right And Left

President Trump and his supporters portray antifa as the left's equivalent to deadly far-right extremists. Domestic terrorism data show just one fatality is linked to antifa — the attacker himself.

Genuinely don’t think our political discourse is capable of talking about how Donald Trump—*Donald Trump*—just halted an ongoing genocide.

I have strong doubts that the 'ceasefire' will hold and lead to an actual peace deal, but it seems like, maybe, somehow, Trump kinda learned a lesson here...?
