Netanyahu addresses joint sessions of Congress.

Hasan interviews Yemeni Tiktoker.

I mean it’s a tossup with power and influence.

From what I understand the transphobic comment from nutomic was from a publicized DM. So it’s a stretch, in that sense, to seek defederating an instance over it, as the ban is justified to begin with.

I am always so glad to see Matt and Ian still at it. Mac Hall were the days.

I still have a tick where I rate the shelterability of nooks and crannies in public spaces. Dry stairwell here, unlocked gate there, and so on.

It’s an odd feeling, being a homeowner these many years later.

I remember petting what I thought was my cat’s paw in the early morning hours once. Nope. She just left a mouse head on my pillow.

the rate (i.e percent) priests abuse.

damn does that church know how to run a cover up

You might say there is a discrepancy between actual rate and reported rate.

Oligarchy works both ways in that sense. The oligarchs do not represent the people and the people do not represent the oligarchs.

That’d be vanguardism. But that’s a component of Leninism, which is itself subset of Marxism.

A part of a part of Marxism probably shouldn’t be a working definition of the whole.

What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn’t that what makes a man?’

Hmm.

I read this thread title in Alex Jones.

Hasbro just prosperous blooming the franchise.

When I was an anarchist during the Bush years I remember telling an exceptionally crunchy gutterpunk they could use a shower. They accused me of being a Nazi telling them I wanted them to go to the gas chambers. They were then in a grant writing class I took the following summer.

I see this kind of dynamic playing out quite often in online debates about leftism.

If history is any precedent I think ICE agents will pivot to claiming anti-communism as a defense and be just fine.

I had an elected official chuck pens at the HR lady and reference her recent weight loss during a training about professional behavior in the workplace. Unironically. But the HR lady laughed it off and then kind of flirted with the elected official and a program manager.

He was already on the way out but it did provide a good orientation for the workplace culture.

Chaotic would be putting it mildly.

There’s always a logical point where making more money becomes less efficient than making other people poorer.

OAN: Now with even less legitmacy!
