That’s because Dems are spineless. I’ll keep repeating this. Republicans might be pure evil, but the majority of Dems in office today comfortable fall into the “good person doing nothing” category.

Here’s another example: Isn’t this how D&D combat works(in a nutshell): player rolls dice to see if they hit, if they hit they roll dice again to see how much damage happens. Then the NPC rolls dice to see if they hit the player, if they hit the player, then they roll dice again to see how much damage happens. For…

Yep. D&D is generally not the best game to use for “let’s listen/watch people play games” because it’s so focused on the crunching numbers and look up tables, and pre-set dungeoneering designed by the gamemaster. I haven’t listened to Adventure Zone in a long while, and while the show was funny and the family playing…

I’ve said this repeatedly. I currently live in the south. There are a lot of Black and Indigenous people here with very deep roots. They have fought for generations for their homes. They fight everyday to improve things for their community. Besides an influx of regressive shit heads from New England and New York who…

It’s easy to tell us to move, but that takes money that many people don’t have.

The first part of the tweet (“innalillahi wa innailaihi rajiun”) is straight from the Quran and translates into: “We belong to God and to God we shall return”. I’ve always found this somehow peaceful. May he rest in peace.

I think you might be confused; Will Smith is a podcaster and game developer, not an actor.

Patriotism is step one to fascism bro, in literally all cases. Keep the loyalty to each other but burn the flags and write the history how it actually occurred. “Death to America” is a fun vibe and has lead to more good activism than trying to appeal to some imagined never existant ideal.

First let’s admit that the summer of 2020 was a terrible time of excess that must never be repeated. Of course the murder of George Floyd was bad, but First let’s admit that the summer of 2020 was a terrible time of excess that must never be repeated. Of course the murder of George Floyd was bad, but statues of…

I mean, I can think of another way to get politicians out.

Well, a few things:

First, in no way did I imply that trans people are considering the remedy not voting at ALL. I know no one whose response to being absolutely ignored in red states and blue is simply “I shan’t vote, then.”

What I’m specifically discussing is the idea that trans people are being told they are…

it’s about your fellow Americans

Honestly the last six or so years have made it completely impossible for me to ”love” this country. The facts are, they’re constantly trying to erase my rights, control my body and tell me all this is my fault. This country’s government and officials are gaslighting me and my people on a grand scale. I never got the…

Whoo boy I lost it at that “one misstep” line. Albright was a truly intelligent, skilled, capable woman, and she eagerly used those talents in service of some of the worst aims of US imperialism. It’s a shame that nothing bad ever happens to these people while they’re still alive, but hey she’s dead now so at least…

Yeah, not so much a “misstep” as proof that, however inspirational a figure she could be (depending on your perspective), she fully bought into and perpetrated America’s often brutal approach to foreign policy, which is to put the interests of America (or, more precisely American elites) ahead of even basic…

Sums up her position on Iraq quite well really.

The death count being subsequently shown to be inflated really is less important than the fact that Albright, believing the toll to be the correct one, was still prepared to support it as a price worth paying to continue a failing sanctions regime.

Another great one: “We think the price is worth it.” in regards to 500,000 Iraqi Children starving to death. 

Even liberal folks start to feel their transphobia when they realize that sometimes allowing trans people to compete will mean that trans people might win.

Who cares? When other athletes win their events, we don’t feel the need to deconstruct where the advantages that allowed them to win come from, and whether some of those advantages might have been unearned. Lia Thomas is not putting up times that are unattainable for cis women to achieve. Those women should just be as…
