"Trigger happy cops don't like Mamdani" is not the dissuading argument you think it is, Barri Weiss.

Mark Misoshnik 🏴 @misoshnik.bsky.social · 1d

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

That just is proof that the muppet puppeteers are just GREAT at what they're doing.

They're so good at manipulating these puppets that you ACTUALLY forget that said muppets are NOT actually living beings.

They really don't get enough recognition for the work they do.

I was rewatching Buffy

At the start of season 7 Giles and Willow are talking about the coven who's currently trying to teach her how to control her powers.

and I did a double take when Giles said the name of the head witch.

"Miss Harkness"

Buffy throwing Marvel references decades before the MCU!

But some people don't even do this.

They don't even react when their neighbours are being poulled in vans. They just... film... and it's frustrating.

I was only 15 when this happened and I remember wondering if something like that would eventually happen to me if I came out.

It was a horrifying event.

For context:

It's motion smoothing tech that interlaces frames generated by the TV between ACTUAL frames to "smooth out" the framerate, but most of the time it looks like crap, causes a lot of ghosting in the image or trails if there are bright objects and small moving objects end up looking wonky.

CAN porn-over-consumption be a thing?
Yes.

But it's a SYMPTOM of an underlying psychological condition.

It's not because you're addicted to porn like one is addicted to drugs. It's often an unhealthy coping mechanism related to depression or other psychological conditions.

Not again...

PORN ADDICTION IS NOT REAL.

It's been debunked over and over again.

The vast majority of people who have historically claimed to have porn addiction were people who had weird hangups, often caused by religious beliefs.

It's decent, but I agree...

The style is just so.... Tumblr-esque... there's no other way to describe it.

It really feels like a fan project that didn't get enough beta-group feedback when it came to the artstyle.

Kind of like that She-Ra cartoon.

I won't lie.

The complete inaction of many people in the USA kind of disgusts me.

I don't want to oversell Canadians or Quebecers as active citizens, but I have a feeling that the Parliament would have been reduced to ashes at this point in time, if this kind of bullshit happened here.

Antagoniste 🏴 @antagonisteqc.bsky.social · 11h

les américains sont probablement les citoyens les plus dociles en occident

lors du printemps érable, quand le gouvernement a voulu enlever une fraction des liberté, toute la société s'est soulevée

l'idée de l'américain épris de liberté n'était qu'un mythe

Ils me dégoutent sérieusement dans leur inaction.

Je veux pas sur-vendre les Canadiens ou les québécois, mais ça ferait longtemps que le parlement aurait été en cendre à ce point-ci.

STOP

USING

EUPHEMISTIC

SPEECH

WHEN

TALKING

ABOUT

ICE

They're not detaining people. They're not arresting people. Or, the most ludicrous I've seen yet "spiriting them away".

They are ABDUCTING PEOPLE.
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT WITHOUT ANY REASON.

They are criminal goons. Not "officers".

It may just be me, but generally speaking, from personal experience, people who repeatedly talk about the afterlife and whether or not they're going to heaven are not GENERALLY SPEAKING people who completely lack health concerns.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

The rape whistle are actually a good idea. It's very audible and people WILL turn around to look at where the sound is coming from.

And God knows these assholes don't like people to focus on what they're doing.

Leon's, the oldest continuously operating gay bar in Baltimore since 1957. The building itself opened in the late 1890's as a bar called Georgia's Tap Room. During Prohibition, it was a speakeasy and, after WWII, became a hangout for beatniks and artists with a mix of gay and straight patrons.
