Wait I was just informed you Americans can't smoke in a cafe. What silly people you are to allow this to happen to your country.
Coffee, ciggaretes and nonchalant talk with people who you don't really know but see every morning is what makes your day 10x easier.
The Chadwick Boseman drama should have ended all speculation that the Oscars are rigged or that the show producers know ahead of time. They reworked the entire presentation in anticipation of his award and he lost!
oh she also said “why do you keep bringing up palestine? what is this really about? does your palestine shirt give you a sense of identity? does it make you feel less weak?”
New details on the Willy Wonka Experience disaster
• Script was '15 pages of AI-generated gibberish'
• Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'
• Event had no chocolate — kids were given a single jelly bean & a cup of lemonade
Sean Young in the original 1984 Dune as Chani was beautiful, elegant, aristocratic, unforgettable.
Zendaya in the Dune remake in the same role looks like she just crossed America's southern border.
They do this to humiliate you.
I went to high school with her and the academic pressure drove 4 students to commit suicide in ONE YEAR. Sad to see she’s just perpetuating a toxic mindset that destroys kids lives.
America turning into a failed state would cause immense harm to hundreds of millions of people and would plunge the world into a second Great Depression. You would not be spared.
You cannot threaten me with “the United States will collapse if you don’t vote for Biden.” I’m fine with that. This is a bad country that brings nothing but pain and suffering to not just most of the world, but to its own people too. Let it end.
Nolan made a mainstream movie more sympathetic to communism than anything in living memory and these morons are still pissed he didn’t cover every one of their obsessions.
Could the NYT have found anyone less sympathetic to talk about gas prices? This man drives a 50 year old muscle car and a 20 year old mega SUV. He’s not the average American!
zoomers will never understand just how psychotic post-9/11 america was. i was barely old enough to understand it. it was worse than you could possibly imagine
The political TikToks I see getting traction aren’t consistently left or right wing but they consistently anti social trust and that might be worse than an overt political slant.
I track US TikTok data month to month. The most viral videos on TikTok are almost completely apolitical and oftentimes literally the same videos trending on Facebook. As for the platform's subcultures, they're typically even more radically progressive than Tumblr's.
Two customers saw a vape store getting robbed at gunpoint. They grabbed guns from their truck and took on the robbers, fatally shooting two.
The article never specifies which guns the customers used. Based on photos, one was likely an AR-15.
Bay Area high schools are pressure cookers that force students to become single minded machines all so they can get into a slightly more prestigious school. It’s an abomination. These towns should be annexed for the good of their students.
A counter-protester jumps up and down and hoots like a monkey toward a protester who was live-streaming on her phone at
@OleMiss
today.
Chants of “lock her up” as the Dean of Students (
@marsh_brent
) and multiple law enforcement agencies regain order.
Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people or the future they want.
Palestinians are victims of Hamas too.
Today I’m announcing an increase in our aid to Palestinian civilians by a third, with an additional £10 million of support.
The dishonesty of Stephanopoulos' interview is striking. He says 10 times that Trump was found 'liable for rape' in the E Jean Carroll case. He says that the jury found Trump 'liable for rape.' In fact, the jury specifically found Trump *not* liable for rape. It found him liable…

@keithdorejel
Totally fake. Democrats go above and beyond to try and make effort with rural Americans. Republicans on the other hand talk about the most populated, important places in the country like they are Kabul
There’s clear double standard in endorsing terrorism against civilian targets by Ukraine (which one can obviously argue is justified - they face occupation) & condemning it by Palestinians.
Those fighting our enemies = war of liberation
Those fighting our allies = terrorism

In USA alone disabled people is around 20% of the population, if you think 1/4 of population is not a huge demographic, I don't know what to tell you
loving all these "of course I'd support the same for Muslims!" takes from people who thought an entire NYC neighborhood should be off-limits for Muslim places of worship
This is a complete and utter lie. They weren’t forced to sign anything. The treaty divided Eastern Europe in Soviet/Nazi spheres. Why would the Nazis agree to that if the USSR had their backs against the wall?
People who are disincluded from capital piece together a "geography of survival". The state in turn finds this threatening, and does everything it can to eliminate this possibility of outside survival. Ultimately it functions as genocide against undesirables.
Biden requires “near certainty” that U.S. drone strikes outside conventional war zones will not kill or injure noncombatants. He also bans “signature strikes” and limits drones to situations in which “capture is not feasible.”
People pile on Biden for every errant remark but there’s an entire ecosystem of people dedicated to explaining why Trumps brain melting rants are no big deal
This is why nobody trusts mainstream media anymore. I hate to defend Trump but they’re all deliberately taking this quote completely out of context and running with it. Sham reporting.
Biden wants to replace lead pipes. He failed to mention that the unfunded mandate sets an almost impossible timeline, will cost billions, infringe on the rights of the States and their residents – all for benefits that may be entirely speculative.

Yet more evidence that a peace deal was available at the beginning of the war. When the Ukrainian delegation got back from Istanbul, they opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate the success of the negotiations. Something then happened, and Zelensky canceled further talks.
“please be normal” come on don’t be shy. tell us what you mean. tell us you want full access to the body of WOC without any boundaries. the illusion of an equal relationship with a woman that doesn’t mind the sins of your ancestors. “it’s not a big deal when you’re in love”
None of the people hating on this have lived through a recession. 2009-2011 job market was dire. There was heavy competition for retail floor roles paying minimum wage.
One thing that a lot of people seem kind of confused about: the reason we’re seeing a lot of strikes and unionization is not because the economy is really BAD for workers, but because it’s GOOD for workers in a way that has given them tons of new bargaining power.
Stayed in Forks Washington last summer. 5 people total, all POC, 3 women. We were followed home from the grocery store and two people asked us, very directly, if we were "Antifa from Seattle".
lol exactly. the press runs 300 million stories a year about how Dems are making republicans feel ostracized and “racist” but Dem leaning suburbs are like perfect harmony while rural red areas are frothing at the mouth lunatics
There's absolutely no room in the urbanist movement for conservatives.
The fight for equitable, climate conscious cities, worker's rights, reproductive rights, racial justice, wealth equality, and LGBTQ rights are all the same fight.
It's the fight for our future.
If there was a city council meeting at which rightwingers said anything remotely as evil, stupid, wrong, and indefensible as this every single major media outlet would run it constantly and every Republican politician would be asked to condemn it. Even if you think I’m wrong,…
@johnkonrad
It has been a long time since we changed our country name, please first use our name correctly "-Türkiye not Turkey"
In reply, I definitely say Türkiye 🇹🇷
So the infamous Trump-Raffensperger call, which formed the basis of impeachment and multiple indictments, was illegally recorded by Jordan Fuchs, and the January 6th committee knew it and shielded her from legal exposure.
The level of corruption is astonishing.
@ItsCrisDiaz
You can’t say disability activists speak for 20% of the population when you count everyone with glasses as disabled. That’s not how people think about disability.
tbh it wasn’t “nice” phrasing but this specific person (who triggered this tweet) i know well enough to be real with (e.g. didn’t feel the need to cave for respectability’s sake). they left me on seen two hours ago 😵💫
(note: i went this route bc this person is queer and black)
