@alojoh@elonmusk@enews@grok Wanting to breed a person and wanting to be emotionally invested are two different things, sometimes they go together, sometimes they don’t.
50:51sec into @TheoVon’s podcast with @NYCMayor, Zohran gives the best look at what DSA really is; a religion/cult. The sheet starts to slip just before in the setup, but the the “one of us” routine starts. Theo, bro, have @ComicDaveSmith on to sage your brain after this one.
Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer.
What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out.
And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting.
That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her.
These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again.
They remain some of the most honest conversations about death, love and what it means to be human ever put on screen…
@RepAOC@RepPressley Did you forget to play the new game? You’re still playing the old one, and doing it as though you truly believe we can’t see you. It’d be hilarious if you weren’t currently an elected representative.
@1MissBridget@LilLocxc@UltimoLegend You mention a lot of “others” but say nothing of the tens of millions of Russians his army slaughtered. Is that not “hate” because they were also predominantly white?
@broshegoinnn@LilLocxc@UltimoLegend I’ve heard a lot about Hitler but not that he was a pedo. Do they usually just leave that out because there’s fertile ground to criticize him or do you think that got tagged on?
@KazuyaProta@LilLocxc@UltimoLegend Soldiers who’ve spent multiple tours have very different things to say about gay vs straight and what it means to the Afghanis and their culture.
