This is a good question and something that sounds fun to write about, so I'm going to do a thread and periodically add to it. I argue that what a lot of people refer to (and unfairly dismiss) as "modern Simpsons" is often a decade or more out of date, and the show has turned a corner in recent years

I mean I'm glad Trump didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize but I am not super excited that the person who did win it has been going "Mr Trump please murder more Venezuelan fishermen with American missiles" since it was announced

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I will never get over this.

It is MINDBLOWING that Biden/Kamala could have had a ceasefire deal in Sept 2024. Would have won them the election without a doubt. And yet could not do it because Israel’s right to exterminate millions of people could not be violated. This is where racism will lead you folks

“Machado’s politics are steeped in violence. She has called for foreign intervention, even appealing directly to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the architect of Gaza’s annihilation, to help ‘liberate’ Venezuela with bombs under the banner of ‘freedom.’”

As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention...

Finding I don't feel all that dysphoric wearing men's jeans, likely because they're showing less skin than the shorts or skirts I was wearing all summer. I wish I could find a way to wear jeans and a t-shirt that didn't just make me look like A Guy though

The liberal cope for the peace prize winner being a fascist Trump supporter seems to be "she must just be *pretending* to support Trump because she needs his backing", which is some impressive ignorance

I might forgive under the right circumstances, but I will never forget that a lot of people supported Israel initially (Bernie Sanders explicitly opposed a ceasefire! And was literally praised by AIPAC for it!). Hell, a lot of them still start their statements by ritually denouncing Hamas

There’s nothing quite like searching someone’s posts for Palestine and watching them go from “saying free Palestine is antisemitic” after Oct 7 to “please donate to my friend in Gaza.”

Its good. But I won’t forget what many of you said.

Trans women have periods. It's hormonal, I REALLY can't fathom how people don't get this.

Yeah it's not as intense because the hormones don't impact a uterus, but they're still WAY off balance.

I will sob my eyes out the same time every month, these days almost every time!

Which y'know is a difficult topic to talk about because even half the trans community will throw bricks and say yOu DoN't

You know what? I think liberals deliberately try to push candidates they know leftists won't vote for through the primaries in order to punish us.

Their accusations of us refusing to vote for genocidal & transphobic white supremacists to punish them is pure projection.
