Dems are bought, now as always.

Honestly just having a movie that had a style besides the bland, gray Realism™ aesthetic back then was glorious, despite its flaws.
I'm very disappointed that Miller is submitting himself to the next wave of slop, more creatively bankrupt than the Gray Movies, indeed without any creativity at all.

A cardboard cutout of a dog labeled "liberalism" is covering a dog labeled "fascism."

This labeler will be shutting down. We will first be unlabeling everyone who is labeled and then will cease to operate. As the unlabeling operation will take an unknown amount of time, we are not setting a specific timeline other than as soon as possible.

I mean sure they *want to* but they won't be able to if people retain the knowledge of how their stuff works. Even if the megacorps turn all their Android devices into walled gardens, there's always companies making cheap phones that won't be able to do so.

Kei trucks are banned in most US states not because of lobbying by American truck manufacturers, but because the government knows if they allow them on the streets, all depressed laborers under the age of 40 will use them to get isekai'd to a fantasy world governed by an obtuse leveling system.

They go to college in order to acquire the Paper That Qualifies You For Slightly Better Conditions Under Capitalism, rather than to actually learn anything.

I've seen some libs call trans rights a purity test and suggest that dems discard us in pursuit of a wider voter base. If you are so willing to discard the rights of others to protect yourself then you don't deserve any.

Sorry, not sorry. Blow it out your bigotry excusing ass

It's so wild to be put on "MAGA" blocklists alongside people of like, 15,000 different sets of political beliefs, and then realizing that it's because you all liked a tweet about how Taylor Swift is mid or something

I still find it funny that an actual republican politician put me on an 'anti-maga' blocklist because I recognized them and said 'hey, Craig Brittain is a republican politician who ran for Senate in Arizona,' which he took offense to me pointing out. Definitely one of the top ten funniest blocks.

I love checking the blocklists I'm on and it's like "leftists that make me so so so mad" by the most annoying guy you've ever seen in your life

It is no longer reasonable to assume decency or honesty from any ICE agent.

Act accordingly. They will lie. They will cheat. They will steal. They will kill. All in order to hurt your friends and family for not fitting their broken definitions of what an American is.

Don’t play fair. ICE won’t.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.
