kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

The death of journalists in Gaza constitutes the worst crime against journalism in living memory, yet the NPC has never asked a speaker to address it.
Now they’ve cancelled the person who proposed speaking about it.

The 'good guys' are totally the ones torturing a 22 y/o autistic woman who was illegally abducted in international waters for bringing food and baby formula to the trapped, starving, emaciated victims of a livestreamed genocide

I knew the first half of this story— that Gary Larsen’s cartoon joking Dr. Goodall was sleeping with chimpanzees caused her Institute to lawyer up only for her to find the comic super amusing upon her return from the field— but I’d never heard Larsen got attacked by a chimpanzee!

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage.

You can insult prominent far right jerks (or anyone, obvs) without being transphobic or homophobic.
If your response to that is "but THEY'RE transphobic and homophobic so it really bothers them!", I remind you that they're malignant narcissists with fragile egos. ANY insult really bothers them.

We should be sympathetic to the horror borne by the dozens of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
But don’t ignore the *thousands* of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, including the civilians, women and children in “administrative” detention.
It’s a real giveaway.
