I guess they have to change the lyric in The Book of Mormon the Musical again.

Yeah, the vehicle in question definitely screams “PoC” and not “white fucknugget.” /s

Yuuuuup. And if I’m stuck on my phone, repeatedly opening Voyager, remembering I need to do something, closing it, then opening it again, I can hit play on my audiobook or podcast. Then I get up and go do stuff.

So UN leaves to Geneva.

Then the US says, “The UN has abandoned us. We are leaving the UN.”

The US leaves the UN, throwing away an incredible amount of soft power. We fade on the world stage.

Trump is a horrible pathetic moronic excuse for a leader.

I’ll always remember him for Mario and Luigi being tied up in this image.

Because there need to be reasons to participate in society properly. If it’s “we’re cutting you off from all trade and never restarting it,” there’s no incentive for them to change their behavior. Sanctions always give a reason.

Punishment isn’t a good motivator of human behavior, reinforcement is.

Oh that poor mother.

The real class war will be between people who ate yesterday and people who did not eat yesterday.

The billionaire class wants you to think someone with a million dollars is your enemy. And they want the millionaire to think you are their enemy.

But you know what the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is? About a billion dollars.

The enemy is the ultrawealthy, and the more we remind the vaguely rich about this, the better our chances of actually changing things. At least that’s how I see it.

Check this out for context.

I think it’s less about acting like it’s something anyone can do, and more about acting like it’s something people who aren’t ultrawealthy can do.

Having wealth isn’t inherently bad. It’s the distribution of wealth that has fucked our system.

Check this out for some context.

why would fan works not be under fair use as long as it’s not for profit?

That’s something that fan-fiction authors cling to, but it’s not accurate. Even if it doesn’t make money it’s still infringement. It just means there’s nothing to go after, so IP owners tend to leave them alone.

I guess that’s true. I assumed they nabbed her in the street, but if they brought her from the building to the street, that’s kidnapping.

Bringing someone from one room to another against their will can be construed as kidnapping, IIRC.

Sure, totally. I’m just saying “would-be kidnappers” is accurate. They’re not “kidnappers” until they take her somewhere else.

Kidnapping requires a change of location, IIRC.

I don’t think of the UK or France as dictatorships.

I’ve been mad about all of these raids, but something about them raiding Frisco elevated that (no pun intended). I love Frisco. I’ve only ever been in the summer, and it’s fucking idyllic. Get your DHS bullshit out of there, you assholes.

We know what facts he “misrepresented” because they already said it in the media months ago: they said if he had admitted he was a supporter of a terrorist organization they wouldn’t have given him a green card.

They’ve equated support for the Palestinian people in Gaza as support for Hamas, and Hamas is a terrorist organization, so by supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza, he’s supporting a terrorist organization. And he didn’t disclose that he is a supporter of terrorism in his green card form (because he isn’t).

And they can prove he’s a supporter of terrorism because he used the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which they interpret as meaning Israel should be wiped from the map, despite the existence of alternate interpretations.

If they did, I suspect they caught him via illegal methods. The story doesn’t add up.

It’s not meant to be legitimate. It’s a threat and demand for a bribe. “Kowtow or regulators will be on your ass for everything.”

It’s why Paramount settled and made CBS cancel Colbert, the FCC wouldn’t have let the Skydance merger happen otherwise.

“Nerdface” I have called it.
