To be fair, Trot texts already read like they were shit out by some LLM, but now for just $5 you can have WSWS’s AI version of Lenin give you a passionate defense of how Roman Polanski did nothing wrong in the style of What Is To Be Done?, so there’s that.

Season 3 of One Punch Man is painful. Zombie Man had two fights completely off camera, the last one just a still shot of a closed door and 1960s era Batman word noises on screen. The animation quality is garbage.

The easiest way to emigrate to Canada after WWII was to claim you were an anti-communist and the easiest way to prove you were anti-communist was to present your literal Nazi service records. Canada was basically Argentina with moose and maple syrup.

The BSG rebooted started strong but should have ended on the mud planet as it eventually just ended up as a net full of holes so big you could fly the Galactica through them. Starbuck is I guess some sort of angel now? WTF. The Cylons were one of the better parts.
Anyhow, Tim Nichols is a dumbass.

Family separation predates Trump. DHS documented thousands of separations under Obama via Secure Communities and Operation Streamline. 2014 saw over 68000 unaccompanied minors detained.
You were ignorant of it then because it was democrats doing it and that doesn't concern you.

Obama and Biden kept families together. It was 45 who separated them from their parents and kept them in cages.

“Those of us on the left…” Sorry, who the fuck are you again?
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

The House just voted for a bloated $900B Pentagon budget despite the fact that the Pentagon can't even pass an audit and despite the fact that Trump is getting ready for a war on Venezuela and despite the fact that so many people are about to lose health care.
Here are the 115 Dem YES votes.
