"Why do you want to have a 1970s music pavilion at the Shakespeare festival?"
"It features wine made by the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party!"
"But how does that make it anything to do with Shakespeare?"
"Mao is the vintner of our disco tent!"

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
Dubya was basically an antebellum one termer — a drunk idiot failson turned evangelical teetotaler — who accidentally found himself in the 21st century. I think if you put a Pierce or Fillmore in office on 9/11 with Dick Cheney in their ear they’d have more or less acted the same way.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

I have been made aware of reports of an ICE agent firing a gun into a car in Roxbury this week.
Whenever ICE is around, you can expect violence. It's time to ABOLISH ICE.
Until then, NJ must use its full might to pass laws protecting us from ICE.
My BIL is a veteran who did two tours during Iraq & Afghanistan. He has PTSD. He is brown and lives in MSP. He gets telehealth therapy from the VA. And his job is allowing him to work from home so this two tour Navy vet with PTSD doesn't accidentally get shot by the Gestapo. Anyway.
A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity
Whoopi Goldberg's Forum would be nice to have, I think.
Mar-a-Lago delenda est.
I see we're at the 'arresting opposition journalists' phase of I Can't Believe It's Not Fascism!

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW." (Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)
Alts in pic 1
Alt is still in pic one I promise I'm not lying to you go check it'll be there trust me
The Republican position on guns is and always was that guns can only be used by lone wolves to murder schoolchildren or by Republicans to murder whoever they want.
It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.
I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. — Frederick Douglass
Criminal tribunals will be the bare minimum, and are the modest response under the circumstances
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
