The problem with Conservatives is they believe we live in an Objective reality. That is, reality has objective rules and bounds that don't change.
We don't. We love in a Consensual reality. We define, as a society, the rules and bounds of our reality, and that drives Cons nuts.
Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Mamdani’s pro-Israel critics are correct today— that when the mayor of NYC used his large platform to call Netanyahu a war criminal and urge his arrest, it helped inspire a mentally ill person to stab a Jew on the streets of Manhattan /
@FoeverNameless@DreamLeaf5 The battle of Sterling Bridge always pisses me off. A pivotal battle *because* of the namesake bridge. If it has been open field, the Scots would've lost!
@CH4R10T_TV r/toiletpaperusa has been a thing for nearly a decade. Pretty sure most of the OG meme edits came from them. But everyone got in on it lol.
@BretDevereaux "Saving Private Ryan was praised for its gory opening, so if I put a bunch of blood and gore in MY beach landing scene, that's the same thing".
I'm...not sure the director could've missed the point of the beach landing scene more if they tried.
@robrousseau@CantEverDie Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet had been around for 2 decades, and it's the best adaptation ever made.
I will not be taking any questions.
@KBP9a91@EoinHiggins_ Serious answer: Nice motte and bailey. Do Republicans try to put their thumb on the scale where they can? Absolutely. Is there any evidence that they did that in Platner's case? No.
@_rajin99@CantEverDie I'd like to know why they think it matters if AES called for defunding the police, when every single Rep runs on calling their OPPs radical anarchist communists who want to release all prisoners and lock up all cops.
@hexadecimallol@LinkofSunshine Some dudes fetishize both short and tall women, but there's a general assumption that (straight) men don't like women taller than them. It's not as prevalent or toxic as the bias against short men, but it does exist.
I think we've all been there, 20 minutes into a fireworks show, wishing they'd wrap it up. Let's normalize this kind of show. It's no less traumatizing for vets and pets, but at least it's quick and aweosme.
My favourite firework video on the internet is this one, where 45 minutes worth of fireworks are accidentally detonated all at once on July 4th 2012 in San Diego. I had tears in my eyes, sobbing the first time I saw this. The sound is magnificent. It's the end of days.

@Anthgn@loomdoop That's less than 400/week. That would just about cover my rent and gas, and I have a very fortunate situation in Iowa.
Ain't nobody surviving on %75/day in Cali.
@hasanthehun If you agree with @hasanthehun and want to see this movement win in Florida, I need your support.
Our FEC deadline is TODAY, and we're just $2,500 from our goal! https://t.co/LeAYhYJ5c2
@Brian_Chovanec@XXXParteYoung@OrganizerMemes The problem is that you think a strong DSA is mutually exclusive to a strong Democratic party.
It's not. Either the Dems fall in line with DSA or we're facing endless GOP rule. DSA beats Reps. Centrist Dems don't.
@CRBoniface@CantEverDie They claim it's like a religious conversion because they don't believe emotions belong in politics, and may never have experienced any but contempt in their lives.
