@Animaten_Saine Everyone complaining about Lin 😂 I don’t think they’re necessarily wrong, but because Lin thrives in his passion projects. But Disney doesn’t do passion projects so he gets rushed. Encanto’s the exception because it one of his passion project.

@JAYVERSACE It’s actually universally safer to eat cooked food, and we learned that a long time ago which is why we started harnessing fire. A lot of cultures actually don’t eat raw anything because of the risks associated with it. And other animals would benefit too if they could cook.

@LucaGuadagnegro @imnotjuIes None of them are really character actors, I think. Like the most memorable skits from SNL focus on one specific character causing mayhem. The best skit I’ve seen in a while of this is the one where the lady gets the extra well done steak and shakes the table.

@TrueSlazac I prefer “reactionary”

@salim_dakingari @buttforager Social media, memes, and slang should only be part of the arsenal you have to express and dissect information. Most information is not spread that way, so being able to engage further through accessing sources in older formats is crucial too.

Ok, here's something I learned in high school humanities: As long as people believe that they have redress for injustice, either through courts or through political action (like voting), the people will choose nonviolent options.

@sattanswhore I really love that they hired both the original Mexican Glinda and Elphaba to do the dub.

@8WithaTiara Also, related, healthcare being something you can only get through an employer puts more control over you in the hands of the employer. Not only do you risk homelessness by not complying, but that also comes with losing your access to healthcare.

[Denny @denjaminpip]

@8WithaTiara The reason is that he believes healthcare should be in private hands. If the government takes over, it will limit if not effectively remove the healthcare industry’s access to limitless growth and profits. Obamacare symbolizes the end of the private healthcare industry.

@SxarletRed I’ll say it a million times: the US would be in such a different spot if Bernie had been nominated the first time. He was the only person at that podium that actually had things to say about economic plight people were suffering from and could’ve been real competition to Trump.

@jeremyoharris Good take, put to words what I thought for a while. Saying this also contextualizes one of the more frustrating lines of hers: “No one should be othered for being different” or something like that. Powerful, but reflects a surface level understanding of the situation.

@voyzovreesun @communistsusa That’s because the goal of the USSR government was to nationalize unionization and create systems where democratic institutions were built into the economy rather than needing unions as a middle man between the workers and the owners of the means of production.

FEDERAL AGENCIES CAN NO LONGER CREATE STANDARDS IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY BY WHICH PRIVATE COMPANIES MUST OPERATE. IF A COMPANY SAVES MONEY BY PUTTING SHRAPNEL IN YOUR DAIRY PRODUCTS NOBODY CAN STOP THEM.

I’m not an anarchist but this was funny

[Denny @denjaminpip]

@ax_ferg I think it’s a mix of reactions to their stance on Israel (or unwillingness to condemn them) and their treatment of the unionization movement in their company right now. Starbucks has been getting a lot of bad press in the last year, and I think folks are sick of it.

[Denny @denjaminpip]

@TempestPaige No, but, like, you’re right. Why are we still framing processing emotions and trauma like it’s for little kids? You don’t have to infantilize emotional intelligence.

Imagine if it’s a shit photoshop that brings down the British royal family & not that time they killed Diana
