Yep, this is precisely why Reds is great

It’s kind of crazy that the first hour of this movie is just the detailed account of a messy open marriage between two hot but terrible poets from Portland, OR! And then suddenly the Russian revolution breaks out and all hell breaks loose. But that’s what history is like, I guess

I love the sour revolution in beer but it has gotten to the point where I'm ready to go on a Denis Leary-type rant about "beer-flavored beer"

Fielding so many requests for extensions rn that frame asking for an extensions as an imposition or even a moral failing and it just confirms to me that what university assignment deadlines tend to teach people is not time management or responsibility but simply pointless anxiety

Man, this guy may believe he can make titties bigger with his mind, but he seems to be the only person in UK politics ready to cut through the fucking bullshit

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

"It's very important that we fluff a guy who, apart from being a complete and verifiable monster in his personal life, has not made a good film in a decade" is not a sentiment anyone in their right mind shares

"South Park greased the skids for American fascism" is a thing I actually believe, and I feel weird about it!

I think the attempted rehabilitation of Woody Allen is an underappreciated index of contemporary elite psychosis. Not only is it wildly out of step with the sentiments of normal people, it's also just not anything most people *care about*.

Have you read A. Freya Thimsen's paper "What Is Performative Activism"? I thought it was pretty good.

Again, people are watching this on the local news, and I don't think they're going to come away from it with positive feelings about ICE

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

The easy complacency of bigotry is just the most contemptible thing. 150 years ago, this would have been "of course the negro is not equal to the white man"

The state police are straight up working for ICE and until that changes everything coming out of Pritzker's mouth is just talk

Oh I was not slagging hs teachers at all, I mean factually, I don't know what gets covered or focused on. I strongly suspect the focus on testing has been disastrous for US education as a whole.

Mr Beast is very emblematic of modern fame where he’s very successful, incredibly rich, gets 12 billion views on everything, and simultaneously, at the very same time, no one gives one single shit about him

There should be more communication generally between university teachers and hs teachers. I don't really know what gets done there and it's a problem!

Anyway, every time I see "virtue signaling," I think: Confucius proved fucking right again

You can see how clearly "virtue signaling," a term created by the Devil, muddies everything in what you quoted up there. Yeah man, it's bad when people say shit they don't mean, that's not revolutionary and says nothing about the message they say.
