I'm sorry that she has to deal with idiots, but seeing someone respond to Parker scolding her for criticizing a trans person without having lived the life of a trans person is very funny

War for resources is always more expensive to a society than trading for resources. We solve that problem with capitalism by placing the costs on the public while the profits go to private companies. In this case, though, it sounds like the private companies aren't really interested either
It is usually much more expensive to steal oil than it is to buy it but who cares, good luck, Mr. President

And opposing the Iraq war was not some sort of endorsement of Saddam or his actions. People tried to play that card back then, and they're trying it again with Maduro.

This is what baffles me about the people who scream, "Why don't you criticize the GOP?" when you get angry with the Dems for not fighting. Why would I be mad at the Dems for not fighting if I liked what the fucking GOP is doing?
it certainly does not mean I secretly like the roaches and want them to carry on infesting my house

if I were happy with the roaches infesting my house I wouldn’t be mad at my shitty exterminator

A Republican representative has accused a Democratic representative of treason. And the Democrats are still trying to reach across the aisle to these people. He should be sued for slander and impeached
GOP Rep. Pat Harrigan: "There are members of Congress that they just cannot trust. And I understand that. We have folks that are Somali first and not America first."

I'm confused. They want Texas's Gov. Abbott arrested and tried for drug smuggling? It's a bold strategy, but let's see how that works out for Republicans
Insane how much these people hate their own country

If only there was some incredibly famous movie that made everyone cry when they were children and taught you exactly what to do with a rabid dog...

The Trumpiest thing about it is that he is starting a war for oil in the first half of the century that will either see the end of fossil fuels or global climate destruction. Just a pointless war, even by the loosest of criteria
Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"

I wish we lived in a world where oil companies were hesitant to tie themselves to these crimes by taking the spoils
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you see as the future of Venezuela's oil industry?

TRUMP: Well I see that we're gonna be very strongly involved in it. That's all. What can I say. We have the greatest oil companies in the world.

Went to play Super Mario World on the SNES Online thing, turned the crt filter on, and a big sign appeared saying that "while Mario is working class, he is still acting as a colonising force over the Goombas and Koopas due to structural power imbalances"

Me: Is he dead yet?

Fate: No, but roll this die. On an even number he committed another atrocity in your name while you were sleeping.

*Rolls a 1*

Me: Yes!

*Fate points at the die and it turns to a 2*

Me: ... fuck

I'm never going to watch a 3 hour Marvel movie. I don't have enough life left for that. But I will rewatch Seven Samurai for the 20th time and you know, in your heart, it's a more fun way to spend 3.5 hours
so cool that when Kurosawa made Seven Samurai, he was like, "What if a movie absolutely ripped for three-and-a-half hours straight?"

People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.

"The founders were cool with it" is the single worst argument in favor of anything. They were cool with slavery and misogyny, too. I don't think their judgement was infallible or generally applicable to life 250 years later
"[T]he historical record makes unmistakably plain that open carry is part of this Nation’s history and tradition. It was clearly protected at the time of the Founding and at the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment."

High likelihood of further review, either en banc or SCOTUS.
