Somehow I didn't know this. I can't think of a more darkly funny choice of a couple to thank for their help with the AIDS crisis than the Reagans. Wow.

Be the furious mob justice you want to see in the world!❤️

"We're a real some-nonsense operation here at H.B. Hammermann's Fine Wood Furnishings. Gonna take you round the plant and meet some of the team. There's Darryl, he don't believe in prime numbers."

"But that's-"

"Yeah, we know."

Yeah wow that's terrible, I'm really torn up about some piece of imperialist materiel. Let's see what Chris has to say about all those schoolgirls the US purposefully vaporized. I'll just take a look and...Ah! Well, nevertheless.

Actually no she won't. Wonder if you knew this.

I don't know how you all can simultaneously say that Hillary was right about everything but somehow so fucking clueless about the biggest cover-up in possibly the history of the United States, despite her being in government for twelve fucking years and her husband being president for eight.

Sure.

...guessed it, the Clinton's various projects.

Maybe they dated for almost a decade and he never knew. Or maybe he did and the two of them never told the Clintons.

Or maybe we've found another pedophile billionaire? Who was invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding and brought his +1, a sex trafficker.

Who was the invited guest that brought her? Ted Waitt. A billionaire that had been dating her for six years. There are multiple accusations against Maxwell that occur during the 2003-2011 span that their relationship took place in.

Ted Waitt would later go on to be a huge donor for, you...

me: you think somewhere there's a taxidermist who uses a stuffed pig as a piggy bank?

wife: we don't actually have to talk about every thought you have

Vibes are en route then my friend! Hope your recovery continues to go awesome!

Dude!! That's awesome, congratulations!! Man I'm so glad you shared this, love seeing people getting the chance to make the person on the outside look how the person on the inside feels! So fucking cool!

Everything healing well? Recovery going OK so far? Can I UberEats you some comfort food?

Thanks!! Here's to hoping for it to keep working!

Oh shit sorry to hear that, what's the recovery look like? Just overall rest or do they have you bed bound for a while?

Yes, totally. And telling people "Hey, careful now, that's Nazi shit" is morally correct too. Everybody just needs to take it easy, take a breath and calm the fuck down sometimes.

The BAFTA thing felt very planned. To what end I have no idea, but yeah, that was fucked.

Dude, can I tell you? Fucking awesome. Just started ketamine treatments for depression last night and it was an incredibly powerful experience. I wish I could describe it, feels like a cheat code for getting my memories and thought patterns back together and organized.

How's it going for it you?

But you already know enough of what they've done to put your efforts above theirs? Weird place to find yourself buddy.

Most of the shit I have to say out loud is for my own benefit as well. Everyone fucks up from time to time.

Especially on this site, of all places. Use Occam's Razor with most situations here. Try to remember that it's fucking Bluesky.

Now with that in mind, are you talking to someone who is generally left of center and has a really bad opinion in this one instance, or are you talking to Hermann Göring?

This is how a child argues. Just FYI.

Lol. Oh I bet you actually think that's true, too.

Cute.

It's crazy to me the number of opinions you get on this site about topics in the Middle East from people that have never heard of the Balfour declaration, or the Sykes Picot treaty, basic shit that you really need to understand before you can even get close to discussing what's happening over there.

...faith as well, though. If someone tells you you're being racist, you can't get all defensive and start screaming about all your Black friends because (ideally) they're not calling you a racist, they're saying that you're being racist, and there's a big difference between those two.

...perpetuating the racist tactic of silencing black voices reasonably upset about hearing a slur being yelled at two Black artists. They're being racist, yes, and it's important to call that out. But they're not Racists.

All this requires the other half of the conversation to handle it in good...

...are inherently complicated and inconsistent.

Similarly. Maybe the person you're (royal You) talking to is actually a racist and a bigot and that's why they don't think Davidson should have to apologize. Or, maybe they're being reflexively defensive of someone's disability and, in doing so, is...

...to say that's a transphobic argument. More than fair to say it's a culture war issue started by transphobes. But I don't think that means the person saying it is necessarily a transphobe. They could be an ally with a real dogshit opinion on this one topic. That happens because people...

My take on the Left is that we need to do a better job of recognizing the human being behind the argument and not constantly playing secret Nazi with each other all the time

If you see someone on here say something like trans girls shouldn't play on girl's teams in high school sports. It's fair...

Yup! See it a lot too with some folks that refuse to stop using "zio" even though that's straight up David Duke shit. Heart starts off in the right place but kind of goes off the rails.

I didn't make the claim, I don't owe you anything.

It's fun taking generalized statements and pretending that they were specifically and only about you, huh? Isn't that fun? Isn't that a fun thing to do?

...it seems like he's actually having a great time talking to them. But you look at his actions and the legislation he pushed and it's really hard to square all of it unless he's a supremacist that doesn't hate Black people, he just wants them for the most part to stay where he thinks they belong.

Biden was also such a weirdly specific version of that, though, because he clearly had enough tolerance, or whatever you want to call it, to serve under Obama for 8 years. And I honestly don't think he hates Black people, I've seen him do enough interviews with Black hosts where...
