I saw “Supergirl” in IMAX. It wasn’t a “superhero movie” about saving the Earth through self-sacrifice as “justice” confronts “evil.” It was a coming-of-age story about saving oneself, Kara, as she struggles with her own trauma. Structurally, it feels less like “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), where everyone is driven purely by survival instinct beyond notions of good and evil, and more like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), where heroes, villains, and scoundrels all converge.

She’s just parroting Zionist Islamophobic talking points from Twitter and TikTok without any real critical thinking.

Dean, as always, absolutely killed it.

The chief says it will take MONTHS to investigate this like we can't all see the video. What they hope is people will forget about it and the cop will be free to kill actual people next time.

Every family celebrates Father’s Day differently. I celebrate by convincing men the woman that they just sent unsolicited penile photography to is their daughter.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

Saying "Rabid Ultra Zionist Pigs" is NOT antisemitic. My perspective as a certified jew who's been raised Jewish, been bar mitzvah'd, and enjoys the occasional Matzah with horseradish:

The whole entire reason the ADL exists these days is to conflate Zionism with Judaism in an effort to make it more difficult to criticize Israel and it's genocidal actions. Doing so under their propagandized concept of what it means to be a Jew makes it so you can label anti Zionists as antisemites. Directly from the ADL website under the "ADL and Israel" section, they claim that distortions and activism that delegitimize Israel are antisemitic.

Every single day I went to hebrew school when I was brought up, Israel was shoved down our throats as this Jewish utopia that can do no wrong and only wants peace. But they don't tell us about the nakbah. They don't give any account of Palestinians living in the Lavant before 1948. They didn't teach us about ANY of Zionism's misgivings and just swept them under the rug. Then they parade you around Israel on a birthright trip to make you feel a deep connection between being Jewish and being in this place. They bring you to the literal border with Gaza to show you who your enemies are and stage some weak presentation in the west bank to show you how "peaceful" we are with Palestinians on the other side of a legit apartheid wall.

It took meeting real Palestinians with real life experience and comparing those stories to the actual video evidence you see of apartheid and genocide to absolutely lose any respect for Zionism and the entire project it is attempting to realize. If criticizing Zionism for genocide and Zionists for their lack of ability to open their fucking eyes to what they represent makes you antisemitic, then what am I? I grew up celebrating rosh hashanah, yom kippur, sukkot, hanukkah, purim, passover, the lot. Still do for some of these even in my 30s. I still feel a very cultural, ethnic, and believe it or not even sometimes spiritual connection with Judaism as it is a deep seated part of who I am. And Zionism makes me sick. Am I an antisemite? Watch all the comments that call me a self hating jew. Watch all these "no true scotsman" people try to delegitimize me and my experience as a Jew all because I don't support a genocidal ideology.

Fuck twitch and Dan Clancy for bending the knee to the ADL. Criticizing people who accept this conflation of concepts without using their own eyes and brains is fair and legitimate.

The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.

Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.

The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

Pastor Kristian A. Smith spoke about the people who say that homosexuality is a sin

“You can't really get through to Christians when talking about sexuality if you don't deal with what they believe about sin. It doesn't matter what you say. You can say, ‘You know, Q+ people—they're the entire music ministry. We wouldn't have a church without them,’ and so on and so forth —all of these valid points. But at the end of the day, it always comes back to ‘but it's sinful.’

So in my theology, I deal with that directly. If the greatest commandment is the core of Jesus's message—because when he was asked, ‘What's the greatest?’ He said, ‘This is it. Everything hinges on this’ —then if love is the greatest commandment (love for God, neighbor, and self), the first rule of love is ‘do no harm.’ If I love you, I'm going to at least commit to not harming you. I can't help everybody—I’m a finite human being—but I can make a commitment to not harm anybody. So if the first commitment of love is ‘do no harm,’ then sin is anything that causes harm. That’s why I barely even use the term "sin" anymore. I talk about harm. Because sin is harm, and harm is sin. If something is not harming anybody, then it’s not a sin.

And if you can reorient your understanding of sin, maybe you can start to think differently about same-gender-loving people and trans people who are just living their lives, not harming anybody. They’re simply trying to live their truth. So then the question becomes: if they’re just trying to live their lives without harming anyone, and you, as a Christian, are condemning them and pushing them down, then you are the one causing harm. Right? So you are the one living in sin.”
