Still waiting for the people who call themselves anti-fascist, but also say that it was not just necessary but a moral imperative to continue supporting a genocide, to explain exactly what it is about fascism they don’t like
Look folks I'm a communist, nobody is gonna make me feel bad about my vote. But by all means keep yelling and belittling every leftist you encounter about how they're bad people if they don't vote for Gavin Newsom, it's working great and I'm sure it will result in exactly what you want

Sometimes I wonder what life is like for people who live places where it doesn’t become incredibly difficult to lock and unlock your doors four months out of the year because the extreme cold has caused your door and your doorframe to warp into different shapes

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway….

Wim Wenders is catching hell over his comments at Berlinale, and it’s well-deserved, but there’s plenty of blame for this gutless stance to go around. Ewa Puszczyńska’s comments were even more cowardly and she produced ZONE OF INTEREST! Apparently without having absorbed its most crucial lesson!

Yesterday Wim Wenders, the director of the Berlinale film festival, when asked about Gaza said "we have to stay out of politics." In 2024 he said "the Berlinale is the most political film festival. It always speaks out." Liberal values are a lie
