I know I can be a snob about a lot. It’s not my best quality but I really do get frustrated that the the convos about challenging literature or films is going into “this is only important in academia”. Were at a point liberal arts will only be accessible to the wealthy again. This isn’t good.

Regarding classics “snobbery” and that it holds no meaning outside of specific academic settings - I put this here. Just kind of a bummer from people I respect.

There is no excuse for racist mascots when you can have this bizarre gang including bonus haunted child. Cooler in every possible way

The Phillies first mascot ; the dancing Dutchman and his rat Chauncey

There is an old picture of a man in a tattered overcoat and he has a beard in a hat, to his right is a person in a rat costume, and to the rats right is a child with a white mask on

I like that this admin is pretty much a bunch of people that got dunked on and then banned from a forum and now are taking it out on the world.

Feels great

There is so much terrible stuff going on and yet you have a whole group that have been pretty much driven insane by their hate. It’s honestly pretty funny at this point.

People spin a lot of stuff up freaking out.

It’s a bad tos but they aren’t going to ban games outright.

Trump says a lot of weird and concerning stuff that people just kind of shrug at but right now I’m stuck on how he keeps insisting he’s going to hell

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.
