Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Also, not to get too conspiracy-brained on main here, but it's very *interesting* how it's *only* the lyrics of Not Like Us that are the subject of his lawsuit, not the lyrics of Meet the Grahams...

The way he's responded to losing the beef has been embarrassing. He's assassinated his own character by proving beyond a doubt he has none whatsoever.

You can like his music, persona, or whatever, but I can no longer respect him as either an artist nor even really as a man. He is not like us smh

If Drake had won his defamation lawsuit against Kendrick, it would have set a devastating legal precedent that would afflict not just the genre of Hip-hop, but the entire music industry as we know.

And what's worse, I don't think Drake realizes that or frankly even cares. He's going scorched earth.

A common canard about the civil war is that it was about states rights, or that the union didn't care about slavery and...like all good lies, there is an element of truth there

But only an element - it ignores the fact that the war directly exposed the union troops DIRECTLY too slavery

"I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on" is metal af

Post by user @jamellebouie.net that reads, "from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

Nothing made slavery's toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper Sout, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers "learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter." The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the "goodlooking" daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, "every private in the ranks" cursed "that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women," according to one member of the regiment. When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on."

Just remembered this old Nier: Automata fan art I did

A drawing of 2B from Nier: Automata by me. She is wearing a cyberpunky leather outfit with cutouts, and is carrying a sword in one hand the head of a robot in the other. A bigger sword is attached to her back. A pod drone floats over her shoulder.

We report: the dregs of the evening pass us by, quiet, flat sound waves reverberating across the fields. Our expert dropped their keys as they took their hands out of their pockets, and we are now hunched over the ground with our torch lights, looking for a glint in the grass.
