should stolen indigenous land be used by settlers as collective industrial farms and central cities or used by settlers as decentralized smallholder farms and walkable towns or used by settlers to mine uranium for perfect renewable power or used by settlers for camping and wildlife preservation. We asked 100 white leftists and filmed the sissy slapfight that emerged

Listen, Ryan Gosling was brilliant as Ken. Absolutely brilliant. He played the goofiness so well. It literally wouldn’t be possible to play that role any better than he did.

But the idea that that role is more challenging, that performance more Oscar-worthy than Margot Robbie’s layered, conflicted arc as a doll whose physicality and emotional gamut becomes gradually more human over the course of a journey of self discovery, pouring forth genuine emotion WHILE ALSO leaning into the goofiness?

OUTRAGE

Bro, you ok? Bro, humans aren’t separate from the ecosystems around us. We’re a part of them, bro. Bro, we’re never going to have absolutely zero effect on ecosystems, because we live here, bro. Bro, I never said it had to be a bad effect. We don’t have to immediately be perfect either, bro, sometimes doing what you can is what you can, and its way better than nothing. Bro what do you mean humans are a plague. You’re starting to sound a bit like an ecofascist, bro… Bro?

Bro, if you feel like humans are a plague, Google native plants to your area and buy some seeds and take care of a little plot of them on your backyard or in a pot or in a little corner of a park and watch as we help restore a small piece of what was lost. Do you feel that bro? Do you feel a synthesis of what came before us and what we ourselves made? Bro?

Israel’s military campaign in Gaza seen as among the most destructive in history, experts say

When absolutely 0 of Biden’s accomplishments have made any kind of news, and we’ve been fed a steady diet of fear and panic for 3 years, no one gets to be shocked when he loses the next election to Donald 2.0.

Posting anything positive about the president here will get you called a capitalist bootlicker.

What do we expect to happen?

Anger sells better. Anger feels better, it feels righteous.

It’s easier to protest against a president you don’t like then to actually remain in charge and keep pushing ahead, even if small, consistent accomplishments are all you receive.

I know I’ll never be missing an election in my life again (barring some kind of major medical event).

I just wish it weren’t so damn frustrating, feeling like you’re screaming into the void constantly, fighting against apathy.

CMS just announced that the government will start taking high-cost drugs that were developed with taxpayer dollars and start pulling patents to force competition and low cost generics. That’s fucking momentous.

I saw 1 news article on it. I wouldn’t have known it happened if I didn’t read the news every day. This should have caused the kind of celebration that erupted when companies started announcing $35 insulin caps. Why didn’t it?

Low cost hearing aids, lower and $0 student loans, concrete investments in green architecture…there was an announcement like 2 days ago to replace all leaded pipes out of US cities over the next 10 years, which will be an absolute boon in jobs for construction workers and can make our homes safer for kids. I’m sure I’ll see a headline in a year, “Biden’s lead pipe program causes drivers traffic headaches.”

Republicans want 20 foot concrete barriers topped with barbed wire across the entire southern border, and Democrats want amnesty and ease to citizenship for just about anyone who crosses, and it really seems like until a compromise is made somewhere in there, Republicans will continue to turn out in massive numbers to elections because God told them to, and Democrats will continue to stay home because the last president didn’t accomplish 100% of their goals and voting for an imperfect president is a personal and ethical failing.

Now take that mentality and spread it over every single social and economic issue.

I remember how utterly scared and angry we were sone years ago when Trump was trying to bankrupt the USPS. People were talking about it left right and sideways, asking people to buy from the USPS gift shop, start a stamp collection, anything. Then, Biden got elected and put a huge stop to that by getting rid of the unfair laws that only the USPS had to abide by. Overnight, the USPS was saved, and how did everyone react?

They didn't. It was hardly mentioned. Not a blip.

Same exact thing when it came to net neutrality!! It was DEVASTATING when it was killed. People died in wildfires because Internet providers throttled data of firefighters. Xfinity actually stole identities in order to make it happen.

About a month ago, BAM, it was restored because Biden appointed a Democratic leader to the FFC. Did anyone talk about it? Nope. I saw ONE post.

so wholesome

jstor should have a for you page

I love spotify wrapped! But keep this in mind too and get involved in making sure artists still get paid !

The way they're acting like "ceasefire" means "go blow yourselves up" is just. A ceasefire is nothing. It's less than the bare minimum. It's not "rebuild what you destroyed." It's not "pay the victims remaining of the families you killed." It's not "rehabilitate Gaza." It's not any of the demands that could be made in this situation. It's just... Stop. Stop killing them. And even that is treated like it's so fucking extreme and if you call for it you must want Jews to die. Politicians with an agenda can really demonize anything.

do not stop talking about Palestine!

there are Shut It Down For Palestine actions planned for Friday, look for one in your area if you can. they're not all registered on the Shut It Down website, so check social media as well as their list.

in b4 95% of all websites in june 2024 announce that "for security" they will only work with browsers that use manifest v3

the list of arms and ammunition that the US has sent to Israel (which Biden is trying to hide from the public) has been leaked

• 2,000 Hellfire missiles for Apache attack helicopters. The Lockheed Martin precision-guided Hellfires are being used more and more extensively by Israel now that its ground operations in Gaza dominate the war.

• 30mm chain gun ammunition, also for Apache attack helicopters. General Dynamics manufactures the latest ammunition.  

• 57,000 155mm shells for artillery guns

• 400 120mm mortars 

• PVS-14 Night Optical Devices 

• M141 shoulder-fired bunker-busters, officially “bunker defeat munitions,” the Western equivalent of Hamas RPGs and designed to engage targets at short range. “Bunker buster” as described in the news media is a bit misleading as the munition is used at 250 meter range to attack above-ground fortifications.

• 75 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, manufactured by Oshkosh Defense.

• 300+ Tamir interceptors, used for Israel’s “Iron Dome” system, and manufactured by Raytheon (RTX) in cooperation with Israel.

The next line of her speech is also great: “Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”
