The makers of hit TV show the White Lotus have dropped actor Miloš Biković from the upcoming series after criticism from Ukraine over the Serbian native’s ties to Russia....
Can we PLEASE, in the Trump / Brexit era, recognize how baseless accelerationism is? Have we not learned the lesson of
“Once these people do this terrible, stupid thing, they will realize how terrible & stupid it is”
-is completely false? And in fact tons of people will double down on the stupid terrible thing? They’ll double down so much that they’ll gladly swallow horse dewormer & bleach, and not get vaccinated, and literally die drowning in their own fluids before admitting that maybe that wasn’t such a good idea?
The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka “planeta” (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.
The Russian Federation actually does give a fuck about climate… They want to make global warming worse. They get to sell more gas, they get more arable land up north, and they open up shipping routes in the Arctic. Putin is Captain Planet levels of evil, fr.
Retard has transitioned from an impartial term to one that is negatively loaded. For this reason, the term is now widely considered as degrading even when used in its original context.[10]
Much like today’s socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult.[11]
Do you think people who have the condition of mental retardation experience bigotry in our society? Are you not aware “retarded” has been used extensively as a slur? And are you so inconvenienced you can’t come up with a single less-problematic synonym?
Seriously, wtf is wrong with this website? I saw this again just this week. Next I know these a holes will be going around calling things gay. "WeLl AlShUlLy ThE dEfInItIoN Of GaY iS HaPpY sO… "
Hey folks, polite reminder that YOU (yes you!) can be on the DNC instead. If this headline upsets you, ask- why are you not on the rules & bylaws committee of your local Dems chapter?
People get upset at the DNC as if it’s some mystical wizard that exists in a different dimension. BRO, what are you doing right now to get involved in the DNC you have such strong opinions about?
Haha, have you read the books? It is a million times worse / more pretentious. The show was camp, which was at least kinda fun. Definitely an improvement anyway
This ain’t a Both Sides thing, Democrats consistently are the ones pushing for & implementing RCV . Republicans are consistently the ones repealing & banning it. Third parties aren’t viable in the US in a first past the post system. If you want a viable third party option, you need to vote Democrat in the meantime.
(Plus, like, Republicans will probably abolish voting if they win in 2024, so…)
Lots of Americans say they are prepared to vote against President Joe Biden in November. Among the many reasons seems to be a persistent belief that Biden has accomplished “not very much” or “little or nothing” (according to an ABC-Washington Post poll from the summer), or that his policies have actually hurt people...

I feel like I could see that working for local positions, but you want your federal representatives to have experience governing, right? Like, work their way up, learning as they go? That means this isn’t a fun hobby for them, it’s a job. Are you telling these folks to spend years/decades building up their political career just to kamikaze it all for a single two year term (6 Senate unless they’re recalled)? And if so, where should a person flame-out? Should they go down swinging on city council, or wait until they’re a state senator, or wait until they’re in US Congress etc.?
No. Biden is aiding and abetting Israel which is terrible, but there are zero US troops in Gaza, and Biden is not directing Israel’s Gaza invasion.
Trump withdrew from Afghanistan too.
Umm ok, if you’re considering all the conflicts of the world, then the genocide of the Climate Crisis is the most devastating. You gonna fuckin tell me how much better Trump is than Biden on climate?
He has literally enacted policy to address this. You can critique that it’s not enough, but you cannot say he hasn’t done anything.
If verbally saying something is what does it for you: ““We are bringing agencies together to make sure Americans with long Covid, who have a disability, have access to the rights and resources that are due under disability law,” Biden said during his remarks.”
