This Vapors cover feels like a lateral move on the racism to me

nothing more endearing to people than an "i told you so" at a memorial

I’m generally hopeful about the possibilities of human nature but a 41 year old man who’s squirrelly on points of personal integrity is unlikely to grow out of it

Get bent w the phrase “purity test” ffs. Do people not get what they’re saying is “do not have standards”? “Do not change your mind when you learn new facts that are v troubling — & stfu when a person’s actions & explanations around those facts are shifty, hostile & display a lack of maturity?” 🤡

man, graham platner is not actually young and it’s really insulting our collective intelligence to claim he’s working his way through the youthful confusions of learning how to take accountability for your actions

Windows 14 rumored to have a free trial with no limit on playtime all the way up to level 70, including the award winning expansions "Heavensward" and "Stormblood," sources say.

The reason you so many of the most annoying Twitter Politics guys are sticking by Platner has nothing to do with the candidate or policy and more to do with the fact that they can never have been wrong. I was excited about him for a bit and now I am not. Very easy thing to say if you are normal.

something not talked about enough with these "protect the children" bills designed to "rein in big tech" is the fact that there is so much Non-Big Tech getting lumped in with Apple and Google. what do you fucking mean you want me to mail my birth certificate to Linux before i can use debian???

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible

They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

This is not directed at the OP in any way, but I see a lot of variations on this post nearly every day.

The answer, of course, is that they have learned there are no consequences for doing this. We must be the change we wish to see: close their laptop, throw their phone out the window, &c.

its so stupid, being loved by a man as a man and being loved by a man as a woman are worlds apart! hetero trans women being reduced conceptually to a degenerate subset of gay men is so incredibly harmful and it infuriates me that we still haven't escaped it. feels like a very misogynistic view

I was, shall we say, “slightly resistant” to receiving help after this money was stolen from me, but I’ve been sufficiently cowed by friends privately chewing me out for shame and pride. Dylan has kindly offered to do this for me, and many others have wanted to help directly. Options in replies.

Inquiry for New York Times

Good afternoon,
My name is [REDACTED]
and l am a reporter for the
New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it.
With gratitude,
[REDACTED]

Palestine Diaspora Movement 

Hello [REDACTED]
We do not collaborate with The New York Times.
Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours.
The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable.
So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it.
Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

The kids are not always alright. I think the thing that broke my brain was realizing that 13 seasons of big bang theory wasn't enough, people needed a spin off. People watched How I Met Your Mother. A lot of them. We are a sad country indeed.

Newsom likens Israel to ‘apartheid state,’ questions future military support The California governor’s comments came as he promoted his new memoir in Los Angeles.

POLITICO confirms previous post:

Gavin Newsom likened Israel on Tuesday to an “apartheid state” and said its leadership has left the United States no choice but to reconsider military support for its ally in the Middle East.
