I really liked #AllStars10. I think the bracket format and the points system gave us a lot of time with each queen which is something I wish more competition shows did. Ginger Minj is my all time favorite drag race competitor and I’m so happy she won
In case you were wondering, they are going full-out antisemitic against the Jewish judge that blocked Khalil’s deportation.
Because none of this is about countering antisemitism. It’s about weaponizing (real) antisemitism to undermine democracy and the rule of law.
@MikeWTrapp just saw your talk about regionalisms, very informative and persuasive! But it left me with a question: what do we go with the Glizzy? Is Chicago wrong? Nothing about a hot dog is…dog like at all
CHILLING Message from Jewish-American Governor Pritzker:
“I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. I'm watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now.
“After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities — once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends — after that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next?”
“All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history, then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it."
"It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.”
I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.
Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.
The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.
If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.
The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.
What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.
Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.
@JAYVERSACE We come from arboreal fruit eaters, learning to cook meat actually gave us access to high quality protein sources. The third part of the equation is that most wild animals are loaded with parasites, which is why animals often live longer in captivity when fed parasite free diets
@JAYVERSACE I’m not an expert but I’ll try to answer the why. The short answer is that we aren’t in a lineage of scavengers, who usually have really acidic stomachs so they can eat whatever they find(this is why vultures can use their puke as a defense mechanism). 1/2
Casting a Force Projection of yourself from across the universe to save the last of a rebellion army without violence is still the most Jedi move ever. This moment is perfect.
Today is the birthday of the my all time favorite professional wrestler Mr. Brodie Lee, may his memory be a blessing. Seeing him in AEW finally get the recognition he always deserved was really inspiring to me at a time when I felt invisible in my field. Dark Order Forever
I would rather lose like, 10,000 to 0 in a fighting game then lose over and over in a team game while doing well and having random teammates who can't play the video game.
