@JakeMontgomery_ Congratulations on showing you have no idea what makes New York New York.

I was born and raised there and it's always been a place where you can show up yesterday and jump right in. Room on the bandwagon for everyone, no gatekeeping

@danies394 My favorite part of this is how often Im seeing similar things from my friends here in MN about @KarlTowns.

#StarWars fans- for pride we're doing an episode on #queer characters, themes, and stories in Star Wars. We're going way behind the kiss at the end of the Rise of Skywalker to talk about Kallus and Zeb, Sister the #trans Clone and Vel and Cinta. Who are some of your favorites?

@kellyshaneb @maklelan Sometimes you get to peace by removing the source of the harm..

So much damage is done by hateful ignorant Christians who pervert the message of Christ to attack those they don't like. Dan is fighting that everyday. Not with weapons, but with words. That is working for peace

@KnicksCentral I think it will be close, but I think the Knicks can beat the Spurs tonight.

I'm not sure if the knicks can beat the spurs plus the refs if they're as bad as last night.

Not saying the Knicks should have won on Monday, they played bad, but refs made it harder.

He-Man was always camp, #Mastersoftheuniverse can't decide if that was the point or the problem.

@PeteWright and I talk about why this movie had the perfect setup and fumbled it.

@TommyBeer 100%. The worst part is the president isn't going to see the game. He'll be there for 3 minutes and then walk away because of all the boos he's getting just so he can use it to hate on New Yorkers and say they're rude or anti-American.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@JPenumbra You're one of the most genuine people I've met in this work. You're one of the only voices bringing attention to a problem and you made a good faith effort to deal with that problem. People tearing you down for trying are the ones chasing clout.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@FightWithMemes There's nothing oppressive about two people choosing that kind of relationship.

There is everything oppressive about telling people it's the only choice.

You know that when given a choice, many people don't choose that, and that's why you're the one using propaganda

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@maggieofthetown I think it's one part bad writing but also that they tried to discuss something so nuanced while at the same time aiming for a younger target audience than the originals which is pretty much impossible if you're not the writers of Avatar The Last Airbender

Idk where this false narrative is coming from so I’m gonna set this straight:

My collaborators and I are not telling you to stop buying all comics. The point of this movement is to stop buying all new DC comics until they make a black ongoing available for Preorder.

You don’t have to join us. We are not bullying anyone to join us. We have said if you want to join us, call your local comic store and tell them you won’t be pulling anymore DC books

Boycotts are not fun, they are meant to take money out of the pocket of a corporation. Giving money to other titles is still putting money in that corporations pocket. We are trying to send a message that change needs to come

And when the black ongoing is announced, yall better be ready to mobilize. All yall who are saying that you want to keep supporting black creators and the black content in the absolute universe. GREAT. You better be ready to move with us when it’s time.

I’ll probably make this into a video later and delete this but this post made me have to speak on this. Have a good day

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@JPenumbra The amount of people commenting on this movement who haven't read the basic posts about the movement is mindblowing

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@sawyeurism Elzar is a very good vote, as is Luke from the OT and the sequels, but I have to go with Kanan Jarus. For so many reasons, but especially because he showed that you could be deeply in love with someone while still being a true Jedi.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@QnsGardenFlight @HowieRose I like the idea, but I think the hope that Mets 27 will be any better is nuts. We need a multiyear rebuild at this point.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@CrungoCyle @taskmasterfan What a pathetic weak little man you are. Some of my earliest memories are watching the OT in the early 80s with my mother who loved it like I did. The sequels were pretty messy but that has nothing to do with the inclusion of women, you're just a weak, scared, little boy

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@jeremylovesyall @rileyanntoine I think you're forgetting that the butlerian problems came after centuries of horrific machine rule. We're a little further back in the story, and the Catholics are giving a very needed warning.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@LoudMiamiFan @SteveGelbs @SubwayToShea Please, everyone owns us. Trying to brag about this is like bragging you beat up a 4th grader. We are a terrible team, you did nothing special

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@dccommonsense While you were talking, I also kept thinking that part of the problem is that we assume independent means moderate/centrist.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@dccommonsense Thank you @dccommonsense. We needed this episode, I needed this episode. We disagree on a number of things (I'm sure many would call me woke), but like you I want a constitutional republic where we can argue with respect instead of trading invective in 140 characters.

[The Ethical Panda @EthicalPanda77]

@emkenobi I'm withholding judgment. Most of the people I've seen bashing it also say "Disney Star Wars" as an insult and have just made a career out of hating most of what they put out. Is certainly possible that it's terrible but I'm not going to let anything affect it till I see it
