> The lesson is: A lot of Americans just aren’t as opposed to vengeful monarchs as you might have thought. #trump didn’t just rebrand himself via many of the same spectacles MBS embraced—fights, races, football, and “edgy” comedians. Like MBS and the oppressive state over which he presides, his […]

"I don’t understand how being rich can make someone such a whore. Poor people desperate to improve their (or their families lives), sure. Still not acceptable but I can understand the desperation to put food on the table. But this? I mean, it’s not like this is some […]

I think we should treat people who get scammed and come out and talk about it like heroes. And this is important: no matter how "obvious" the scam might seem in retrospect or from the outside of the community it prey'd on.

"#Israel’s targeted strikes on two #newspaper offices in #Yemen’s capital, #sanaa, which killed 31 journalists and #media support workers on September 10, signal that its deadly pattern of attacking reporters and newsrooms on the grounds that they publish “terrorist” propaganda has spread firmly […]

Hey look, a dead canary.

The MAGA movement, which believes that free speech only applies to its members and that they should be able to say whatever they like without being contradicted, has now cancelled Jimmy Kimmel for speaking out. The sickness of authoritarianism must not be allowed to spread in European […]
