Philosophy teaches us that to be a good person, you need to be nice to kids, be nice to pets, get therapy, and do drugs. He/Him

To no one specific and just because I've been hearing a lot of talk about this:

If I'm following your abuser/harasser, and you're uncomfortable saying anything on main, DM me and I'll un-follow them, no questions asked.

The two problems with this are that the "wilderness" we ventured into wasn't empty, and the parts of it that were empty were largely converted from log cabins to societies by, you guessed it: immigrant labor.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

America is not a nation “built by immigrants.” America was built by settlers. There’s a difference. Settlers ventured out into the wilderness to build a civilization from scratch. The modern immigrant comes to a place that is already built. Settlers planted the trees. The modern immigrant comes to eat the fruits. If you cannot see the difference, I don’t know how else to explain it.

The modern Right Winger's capacity to be smug about a topic they're cartoonishly wrong about is almost impressive.

If you say "But Elon Musk, a moderate Democrat, is a Nazi", you are proving my point.

Just total incapacity for self-awareness

@staticbluebat I have been led to believe that he was basically one of the lesser Baldwins.

@DCUelective02 Buddy, where is Superman when he kills Zod?

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

I mean, Batman V. Superman exists.

And it has a lot of flaws but "not presenting Clark struggling with what happened in Metropolis" isn't one of them.

[Cinephile @DCUelective02]

@its_cinehouse By completely skipping out on actually exploring Clark’s emotional turmoil and jumping right to the next scene where he’s already over it? Alright bud. I mean, most good movies actually explore the character but if some half hearted edgelord wanking is enough, more power to you.

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

I don't know what it is about the Snyder DC films that French fries media literacy for fans and haters alike, but it's truly stunning how consistently it does so.

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

On the one hand, I think this is generally true.

On the other hand, I think John Wick 4 is a better demonstration of this phenomenon than literally any superhero movie since The Dark Knight.

[Variety @Variety]

“Avengers: Endgame” director Joe Russo says Harvey Weinstein is the reason blockbusters don't win major awards:

“He vilified mainstream movies to champion the art films he pushed for Oscar campaigns. Popular films were winning Oscars before the mid ’90s, then Weinstein started mudslinging campaigns."

Do right-wing commentators really want to take the risk of us looking up what else their great grandparents thought?

[Damian Ranger @DamianRanger1]

@adamcarolla Our great-grandparents would never have thought to ask the government for help. Family and neighbors, yes, but not the government.

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

The Majors case is fascinating to me, because he was clearly arrested on trumped up charges by a racist police officer pressuring his girlfriend to lie.

But, mostly coincidentally, he actually had been abusive to her over the last 2 years.

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

No, teachers are not cops.

Let's not be idiots please.

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

Yellowjackets is an honest to God masterclass in how to frame a narrative to keep your characters sympathetic no matter how badly they behave.

[dylan @wiskayokhigh]

i absolutely love that the yellowjackets writers turned the most intelligent, vicious, bloodthirsty girl who butchered and cannibalized people into a stay-at-home mom that asks for the manager

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

Yeah, no.

Accusations can't be defamation if they were part of someone's public image before the accuser said it.

So begging someone to bring up accusations against you mean it isn't defamation if they do.

[john bates @Casefron]

This shows how truly stupid people are, me telling you to drop has nothing to do with the simple fact of defamation is defamation it doesn't matter if you were provoked 🤣 if someone provoked you to kill them you gone tell the judge I killed them cus they provoked me 🤣🤣🤣 idiot

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

@RedactedSmith69 @dezubiii The problem with this logic is that "meant for" is hypothetical. It means nothing when you're talking about reality.

It doesn't matter who you think should be doing the job. What matters are the needs of the people who are doing the job.

[Michael Kidd @Bortow21]

"We don't need reform, we need better management" is truly the cardinal sin of the Biden administration, and should have been our first warning about what an ego maniac he was.
