If he's not pushing for a permanent halt to construction, he's not being serious. As usual.

I am not a woman, but do like to think of myself as a person. And I think it depends. Who made the food? What is it? What drinks are available? If the food is good, I'm with you. Though I'd still like good drinks to be available though. Take care, and may the food you like ever find it's way to you.

They probably didn't mean to say that, but were accidentally spot on and correct! :)

I'm white and Dutch (yes, I know), I was a teacher of English for many years. I love AAVE for it's tenses, vocab, idiom etc. Yet, despite all that, frankly, the gate keeping should've started decades ago. If any of that makes sense. If it doesn't, forgive me: it's late. Take care.

LOL! As if those jokers know anything about the arts.

Thiel is out of his fucking mind. Much like all them billionaires.

Certainly overvalued as a predictor/cause of revenue. I have to admit though.. Avatar? Was that that film with the giant Smurfs doing Disney's Pocahontas?

Indeed. And I think they always go together: a homophobe will be a misogynist, a racist, and an anti-Semite too.

Yes. And, sadly not only in the US. It's everywhere. The US just has more money and willingness to propagandise it than any other White country on Earth. Although the UK is trying very hard at the moment.

Yes, that's funny. Don't be posting AI though. You didn't need it. If people don't know about Liberace, the picture won't help them along. If they do the words are enough. AI is theft and robbery. All the same: take care and may next year be wonderful for you!

Lol. If it weren't for Black Americans and immigrants not considered quite White enough, what culture would the US have? Spray can 'cheese'.

Thanks!

To me, the radical left seems hell bent on fighting the Democrats instead of the Trump admin... I don't understand how the people in the US mangled the meaning of 'left', 'right', 'centre', 'socialism' etc. I know that's not you, just felt like voicing my impression from the outside. Great content!

So would I! And I'd top it with some Surinamese Satay sauce. And possibly have a Mme Jeanette or Adjuma on the side. Hope you get what you desire!

There's White supremacy people where I'm from (call it Europe) in abundance to day. There is also systemic racism. None of it is like the racism I'm getting from the US. It's seems to be a core part of the whole deal of that country.
December 26, 2025 at 5:39 AM
And all those 'more' aren't like it much. And some of them are White, and many of them voted for Trump. Anyway, I must thank you, I always learn from engaging with your posts. (that is me going: 'eh, what?' and then reading and going 'ah, ok') So thanks.
December 26, 2025 at 5:34 AM
Yes. Since on Bluesky, following you and a few other people, I started rereading, and reading more about the history of the US I am shocked at my previous ignorance. I now think that the current stink is nothing new: it's just the US treating more people like it has always treated Black Americans.
December 26, 2025 at 5:34 AM
Hey, me again. I get the post you reposted. But (I'm an outsider) I'm not sure what you mean with your comment. Unless you mean that electing Obama broke the White American Mould and White America has been very miffed ever since.
December 26, 2025 at 5:12 AM
You know what, your dukyness? You're not 'as useful as something not very useful', your just plain old useless. Why aren't you spending your time fighting the GOP? Don't answer, I already know your reasons.
December 22, 2025 at 7:16 PM
And how useful are you, your duky person assuming titles from books you've clearly never understood? What do you do to help?
December 22, 2025 at 7:08 PM
'It's our job to tell our reps what we want'. So, again, what exactly do you want from someone like Schumer? And what power do you think he has? As for the lawsuits: I've read they've started, but then, by your own reasoning, what good are those going to do?
December 22, 2025 at 7:01 PM
So, what would you have Schumer do? If you were in his shoes, what would you do?
