A brown person that advocated for caring for those around you, and fought against greed? Looks like the sinister Jewish cabal are sending the illegal immigrants to take over our country with communism - git em!
It’s honestly sad that he still has a following - the Russian coma he was put into to get over his crippling benzo addiction while he was telling people to clean their room before worrying about external issues clearly cooked his brain.
An inmate whose HIV-positive diagnosis devolved into AIDS died because the medical staff at the California jail where he was housed denied him lifesaving medication even though they had his prescription and were told he needed it to survive, a new federal wrongful death lawsuit alleges
You’re assuming he was on the bi-annual treatment, which I’m not sure would be the case - doubly so in the prison system.
Either way, they had a duty of care that they failed miserably - he couldn’t just pop to the pharmacy to get the meds he needed to live (and help prevent a deadly disease spreading in the prison). This is entirely the prison’s fault.
Because while it may result in a stable, positive, loving relationship (or just mutually great, harmless sex that’s what they’re after), it’s a strong predictor when people are actively seeking a relationship with that kind of gap. Think about the likely reasons someone would seek that kind of thing, and the likely outcomes. I think it’s reasonable to look at this sort of thing with suspicion, but not to immediately dust off the pitchforks and light the torches.
Not all middle-aged single men distributing candy from the back of their windows van are paedophiles, but it’s both reasonable and responsible to look at what they’re doing with suspicion.
It’s interesting you’d bring politics into this when conservatives seem so wrapped up in protecting child brides, child beauty pageants, fetishise youth, and appear to be massively over-represented represented in paedophilia stats.
The transphobia stands out because it’s neither funny nor relevant - there’s no purpose to it other than to be a cunt performatively.
The Lil Nas X song he talks about is what - 2 years old now? Beyond that, the “jokes” are the same thing the daily wire has been rolling out for years - “He has a penis and thinks he’s a she hurrr durrr.”
Then there was the whole “If I went to prison, I’d say I’m a woman and rape everyone in sight” hilarity.
Work like it’s a crippling addiction - it’s not as though crackheads have miserable lives, their bodies literally falling apart as their minds figuratively do the same, until they either muster the incredible willpower to endure the intense suffering required to drop the habit, enduring lifelong consequences, or die an early death.
Elon Musk has decried a wave of “insane” strikes focused on Tesla workshops in Sweden, as workers target the US electric car manufacturer in a strike calling for collective bargaining rights....
It’s getting measurably worse at a fairly predictable clip - boomers had it easy, x/y less so, it’s dark for milennials, and impossible for zoomers/alpha.
The guardrails were removed and wheels set in motion by the boomers so they could more effectively ransack the economy - everything since then has been a consolidation of wealth and power at the direct expense of workers.
The fact that conservatives will look at someone like Buck Angel and say “yup - that’s a woman” is deeply weird - but so is their obsession with checking children’s genetalia, I suppose.
Putting aside the woo of astrology and the like, which can be harmless fun, I’ve learned to be a little wary of the die-hards - it’s not a long walk from all Sagittarius are _____ to all black people are _____.
It seems to encourage essentialist thinking that I’ve seen creep up on people.
I’d argue this should have been the immediate response to Mitch McConnell blocking nominees half a term away from an election, but if the court can’t uphold the rule of law, it should be fixed (and expansion seems like the obvious solution) or replaced.
The procedural question on this one is whether he could shrink the court to boot say… Thomas, then expand it again to replace him with someone less obviously corrupt. Republicans fail to confirm a replacement? We’ll shrink the court a little more. Obviously, this won’t happen, but I’m interested to know if it’s possible.
The point is that if that money is used to pay employees properly, the wealth/power balances evaporate, and we’ll have a much fairer society society where our democracy isn’t undermined by monied interests.
Prighozin’s death is international news, but noone gives a single fuck outside the spectacle of it. The man was loved by noone outside Russia, Putin has transparently murdered dozens of people far more important to the West without being toppled.
Russia’s newly displayed military impotence shifts the calculus, but Prighozin isn’t the guy to cause an international uproar.
