"let's not be ableist!", "every mental illness should be respected" and "using slurs, especially ones that based on illnesses is wrong!" people after they call every abusive and evil person they met "narcissist", "psychopath" and "sociopath":😂👍
sorry to bring politics into this, but 'leftist' online spaces repeatedly calling rightwingers 'sociopaths' because apparently us cluster B havers don't exist in leftist spaces now
democrats are so introspection-averse that any time they lose it's actually the fault of another candidate who didn't win and got less votes than they did. instead of their own fault
"nader should've dropped out and told green party people to vote for gore" "bernie bros cost hillary the election" etc. etc. yet there's never any ownership that making a campaign that squanders momentum and campaigns poorly will cause you to lose an election; moreover both of these candidates won the popular vote so literally it was the machinations of the political machine that these career politicians should've known how to navigate better. do i think bush stole the election by having a brother in the deciding swing state throw out the votes of (most likely) gore voters en masse? yeah. do i think the popular vote not being the deciding factor is an incredibly stupid and obviously meant to rob the disenfranchised of political power? yeah. but we live in reality and these are things that i would expect people with millions of dollars of support to not only be aware of but prepared to handle.
the repeated failure to look inward and understand the growing malaise towards US politics and especially career politicians is the democrats' greatest failure. if kamala wins, it will be in spite of her terrible campaign that's squandered all momentum she had from the debate (tellingly, most of her ads are using clips of it while all ads against her are using recent clips and interviews.). trump hasn't even been very popular but the fact that he has a decently good chance to win should be a wake-up call for democrats (both politician and constituency) that they are bad at campaigning and need a large structural shakeup. instead, i predict that we're going to hear a lot about how anarchists and "tankies" cost her the election and it will take a handful of months before serious political analysis comes out that rightfully assesses her successes and failures in 2024.
imagine if you couldn't buy video games anymore because one corporation spent the past several years becoming a monopoly on the home video game market and they fumbled it so bad that everyone in america collectively agreed to go back to playing arcade games instead. if you think this sounds like it would be literally 1984. you'd be correct
Do you ever think about how actually insane roadside billboards are? Like driving a car is incredibly dangerous and there are a ton of laws meant to keep people focused on driving and not other distractions. But billboards are fine. It’s okay to look away from the road if you’re looking at an ad. That’s fucked
I was on the way home from LAX the other day, and there was a digital billboard just straight up playing a full video trailer for Venom 3. It would be distracting enough if it was a series of stills, but full video?! How the hell is that legal lmao
no phone i have ever owned has ever been off silent mode. i don’t think i’ve ever heard it ring. i can’t even imagine what it would sound like. i’ve never heard a phone ring in a room and thought it was mine. i don’t even process it
the sucker doesn’t even vibrate. if youre trying to contact me pray to god my phone is both face up and in my eyeline

A policy proposed by former President Trump to round up and deport undocumented immigrants — even if it requires using military-guarded encampments — has Americans divided, per a new survey.
Why it matters: The survey results comeas Trump is promising to carry out mass deportations using a 226-year-old law that allows the federal government to detain "enemy aliens" in times of war.
By the numbers: 50% of Americans surveyed oppose setting up encampments for undocumented immigrants, while 47% favor the idea, according to the annual survey from the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), in partnership with the Brookings Institution.

Sometimes I put my face up against my dog while he's sleeping to feel his little lungs expand and his little heart beat and I am struck by the beauty of of life and the miracle of nature to evolve for thousands of years just to create one little guy and put him in my house
sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.
“our enemy is so terrible that you have no right to criticize anything we do in response to it” is a line that can justify any atrocity, has justified any atrocity.
Plot twist: the two boys you're choosing between are polyamorous, but they also hate eachother's guts so you still have to pick one
Sorry but watching them fight gets me off, I'm keeping them both in a jar and shaking it up and down every hour.
When companies shore up thousands upon thousands of people and several nations' GDP in dollars and YEARS of time and expertise labor creating a movie of sweeping scale that is, at the end of the day, not fun to watch and kind of bad: lol
We have used the kind of resources that kings of old needed to erect monuments that'd last millennia, only this time we have decided to create a solid 6.4/10 movie whose lasting critical and artistic legacy will be moldering DVD copies at your local used bookstore
"Is it at least so bad that it's fun to make fun of?" No. You get nothing. You just try to do your stupid mystery science 3000 shtick with it and you and your friends will just zone out and check Twitter and think about what household chores you're putting off
