one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

it’s going to be weird going back to work and people talking like everything is normal. like in a final fantasy game when someone’s summoned a meteor from hell to destroy the planet and the villagers still only talk about the big chocobo pageant coming up

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

I don’t get the logic or morality of the people currently complaining that food stamps make recipients lazy. Even if it were remotely true, given the choice, I’d rather make someone lazy than make them hungry
Depriving a person (and their children!) of food is a shitty way to boost productivity

As a white guy who married into a south Asian family, the freedom to call literally anyone older than me “auntie” or “uncle” was a godsend at big parties. It means “we share a family connection and I respect you”. To whites, it just means “you are my parent’s sibling”
i love the logic of “it we purposely misunderstand a cultural difference people will start to turn on zohran mamdani!”

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
