noticed how all the marvel cast had shit to say when the internet declared that Chris Pratt was the worst Chris (it’s a fact btw) but mark ruffalo is being dragged through the mud for standing against a genocide and it’s crickets from them
“Kids these days don’t know any practical skills.”
Someone from the generation that decided to remove woodshop, auto shop, home economics, and personal finance from public school curriculums in exchange for more practical tests.
I find it very funny that a lot of the Wattpaders are crashing out over learning that what they've been reading is, in fact, degradation, age-gap, non-con, BDSM kink fic.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
it’s breathtaking because what he shared is completely accurate. david ellison is the founder of oracle which is partnered with the israeli military and therefore actively involved in the occupation, the management of the apartheid state, and the genocide of palestinians.
