Jo Nesbø thinks the “González” in “Alejandro González Iñárritu” is his middle name, not his father’s surname. And they say Europeans are more cultured.
Scratch that: the funniest part of the Harry Hole books is that he keeps insisting that when he went to Chicago to train with the FBI in how to catch serial killers, they put him up in Cabrini-Green.
The funniest part of the Harry Hole books is that they imply Norway didn’t have serial killers until they trained a detective who could catch serial killers, as if Hole’s existence so threw the balance of power off that Norway had to evolve several new apex predators to keep him from getting cocky.

Like, Trump tried for an armed insurrection that got white nationalists with guns in the capitol building where they were looking for law makers, and this is all documented. So that's like open and shut treason and absolutely nothing happened to him. And they let him run for president. Again.
I think like the epstein files and so on are a pretty good singular example of how we can actually all know these rich shits did something almost unspeakably awful all the time, casually, without fear, basically in the open and like nothing happened to them, nothing is happening to them.

You should know the details of this historic and horrible Supreme Court case, written by famously evil justice Scalia. They spelled it out. The police have NO obligation to protect anyone's life or health.
Why should the institution of policing continue to exist?

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Just found out Harry Hole likes Slipknot, which is especially funny because there are more people in Slipknot than Harry Hole has friends.

The vote was 53-47 in honor of the 5,347 fundraising emails the democrats are all about to send out
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

The thing that's so surreal about all this too is that I saw how everyone reacted to the Steam and Itch stuff a couple months ago. You all hated it. Dworkin and MacKinnon were the pioneers of that kind of stuff though! That was literally their praxis! So why are you trying to reclaim them?
This. Also Dworkin worked with literal fascists, in the middle of genocide, to betray trans and queer people. Her legacy among queer and trans communities should be nothing but disgust and a goddamn warning.
The thing is that if you want to do this, you need sex workers, because sex workers are the ones who are always the most militant, who are always at the forefront of the struggle
And when people write books about retvrning to dworkin, you split the trans civilians from the sex workers
