Shapiro: We know he was of the left.

Maher: We don’t know shit Ben… I’m hearing he’s in group that think Kirk wasn’t right wing enough— the groypers. You’re sure he’s not that?

Shapiro: I’m not sure he’s not that.

Maher: A few seconds ago you were.

In light of the recently released film, a helpful reminder that activities by Tim Ballard and OUR have been best described as “arrogant, unethical and illegal” by the leading global expert on the international law on human trafficking.

Don’t fall prey to yet another grifter.

Genuinely, the White Walkers should've won. That ending also would've been shocking & horrible & left many loose threads, but at least it woulda been accurate. It would've MEANT something. Can't set aside political ploys in the face of global catastrophe? Alright then, game over

This is pretty much what happened to my dad, the man spent 55-60 years working day and night hardest worker you ever would meet. 12-hour days owned multiple businesses over his life. We both did hard back-breaking work breathing chemicals we shouldn't, lifting things that had to be moved, rolling around on concrete up and under trucks and equipment.

He spent his last 5 years with cancer, medical bills wiped out everything he ever worked for and he spent his last years suffering.

Worker: I can't live on $7.25/hr

GOP: So go to college

W: I can't afford $100K tuition

GOP: Take out loans

W: I can't afford to pay these at 8% interest

GOP: No one forced you to go to college

W: But you just said—

Billionaire: I NEED MORE MONEY!

GOP: Here's a $2T Tax Cut

The Constitution has neither agency nor inherent meaning & its authors would disagree with allowing women & Black folks to vote, so this is just weak rhetoric from an agent for right wing authoritarianism masquerading as a weak excuse for a public servant.

Here's a familiar story. You guys heard this one before?

Young idealistic people enthusiastically vote for the party that offers them progress & things they believe in.

A couple of years later, they're outraged & disappointed because they've only gotten part of what they want.

These are 100% NOT Harvard’s admission rates based on race & it absolutely baffles me that doofuses like this with no capacity for critical thought & middle-school-level reading comprehension clog up so much space in this public discourse & mislead so much of the public.

The woman asked (respectfully, with force) why rents in New York are going up even though they frozen/capped elsewhere

If you have a hard time understanding where the shortage of empathy for the sub crew comes from. here is a pretty good explainer.

We need to get over this idea that the highest good is endless economic growth and maximizing profit for shareholders. Some things are worth doing, worth preserving, because they’re beautiful and good. “Poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

[Adam Jensen @adammjensen]

Heck yes.

Let’s get this right. Scientists didn’t fail to communicate the risks of climate change, they have been warning us for a century. Our policies are failing because after knowing the risks, fossil fuel companies spent billions of dollars blocking meaningful action on climate.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

a lot of people who claim their politics are based on some kind of universal shared humanity sure seem willing to abandon those ideas the moment they get the opportunity to jeer at the incomprehensible suffering of someone whose social position they find abstractly irritating

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

there’s gallows humor, which is fine, and then there’s rubbernecking, which is a little gross but only human, and finally there’s actively cheering for people to die in horrifying ways because they were silly with their money, and that’s basically monstrous

one of my favorite tools in generating intimacy and romance in TTRPGs is reversing who's vulnerable and who is getting to act on who — here's a PBTA move and an example of flipping the script

i find new atheist "all religion is sky daddy fairy tales" types really annoying, mostly bc they render any discussion of a huge swathe of human endeavor impossible, and also totally ignore the nuances of the histories/cultures/hegemonies of different faiths
