An iridescent dark teal Swasticar in a parking lot. It’s genuinely hideous.

Gavin Newsom wants to “continue [Charlie Kirk’s] work” huh? This is how fascism is normalized: pretending monsters like Kirk just had disagreements with the rest of society, rather than being irredeemable monsters
A screenshot of Gavin Newsom saying “The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.”

Just a lil reminder since people are already trying to rehabilitate Genocide Joe:
A collage of Joe Biden as a member of Congress listing the years he made different decisions. They include 1991: attacked Dr. Anitta Hill. 1994: wrote Crime Bill. 1995: wrote counter-terrorism bill which became Patriot Act and sought to cut Social Security. 1996: voted against gay marriage. 1999: helped repeal Glass-Steagall Act. 2001: voted for the Patriot Act. 2002: voted for Iraq War. 2005: opposed bankruptcy protection for students.

I await your solution to this math problem
Three plastic buckets are displayed, one each is blue, green, and red. Text in the image reads “time for a math problem: your vote is a cup of water. You add it to the green bucket. Dod the water level in the ref bucket just go up?” The premise that voting for the green bucket is a vote for the red, or that it is taking away from the blue bucket, is both logically and mathematically erroneous to the point of being comical.

Reminder for everyone sucking Zelenzki off, this is the part of Ukraine yall willfully ignore
A collage of images from news outlets prior to 2022. All of them involve Ukrainians with Nazi imagery, and many include swastikas or other Nazi symbols on Ukrainian flags. Text at the top reads “Neo Nazi Artem Bonov, the Deputy Head of Police in Kiev”. Below, multiple pictures show a bald man with multiple Nazi tattoos who wears a police uniform and a t-shirt with the Ukrainian Trident. A soldier is depicted in military uniform with a Ukrainian flag patch and multiple swastikas. A collage of images of Ukrainians displaying Nazi symbols, including wearing Nazi uniforms, displaying swastikas and totenkopfs, performing the Nazi salute, or praising historical Nazis such as Stepan Bandera.

“Scratch a liberal…”
An account named Greg quote skeeted themselves and said “They deserve the hardship that is coming for them from Donald Trump” in reference to someone expressing their opinion that Kamala was a bad candidate

You have to be a special kind of dumb to argue that legality supersedes morality and then not know the laws. My position has been constant: morality is superior to legality; you tried strawmanning my argument and still were wrong, and further failed to counter it or defend your original point.
The quoted account is screenshot saying “2/there's no point in arguing w/the "Genocide Joe" crowd (of whom you are apparently one) abt whether what Israel did in response to 10/7 was "genocide". The usual players who criticize Israel routinely will of course say yes. A dictionary definition will say no. I choose the actual meaning”

Plain text on a white background reads: “Faelock Concept Trans person living near fey-infested woods, parent(s) deeply transphobic wizard/artificer/sorcerer adventurers. Spent childhood dragged all around on adventures, exposed to all sorts of magical shenanigans, saw party members negotiating with devils. Learns summoning ritual for devil, goes to woods and offers parent’s souls plus their own for Warlock pact with devil. Devil agrees, new warlock flips them a soul coin, turns to walk away, arguing 1. it’s a soul, and 2. it was theirs, therefore it counts. Devil smiles and reads clause of contract giving the devil the coin and ex-warlock’s parents’ souls while rendering the contract null and void if warlock tried to pay by that exact trick. Devil disappears and fey shows up, laughing their ass off and offering powers to their new court jester.”

Tell me again why the ancient Greeks were white if Herakles is only slightly paler skinned than a Roman Emperor from Africa?
Left: Herakles, right: Emperor Septimus Severus
A Roman fresco depicts the mythical hero Herakles (or Hercules) protecting a woman from a centaur attack. Both Herakles and the centaur have visibly dark skin tones. A family portrait of the Roman Emperor Septimus Severus with his wife and children. They are wearing jewelry and fine clothing. One of the children has had their face burned off. Septimus Severus has visibly darker skin than his wife and remaining child.

The sheer double standard of news the past few days is sickening. Zionists are responsible for 95% of the mortality, and are well known for abusing their hostages, but they get the benefit of Bloomberg reporting as if theirs are “prisoners”
fuck off with this shit
A man and woman are pictured in a side-by-side on a Bloomberg news report with the caption ‘Israel and Hamas Swap Hostages and Prisoners As Gaza Ceasefire Starts’. Directly below the two people is a caption reading ‘First Israeli Hostages Freed Under Gaza Deal’

A pig in a uniform is pictured on the left with the caption “the main role of law enforcement is to catch and process criminals after crimes have already occurred. Abolition and defunding efforts seek to redistribute funds into programs focused on fixing social and economic issues that create crime in the first place.”

Periodic reminder:
A cartoon of a smiling Jewish family stands with waving next to the text “Jewish people are awesome!” Below, a cartoon of an Israeli soldier holding a smoking assault rifle stands over the body of a Palestinian child, next to the text “Genocidal apartheid regimes that routinely slaughter journalists and kids are not awesome!”

All right, this seems fun, so: advertise your account with just one image
Dress like a man in the good old days by wearing makeup, a skirt, high heels, puffed sleeves, and lots of lace. Don’t forget to be extremely bisexual like Herakles, literally the manliest man of all manhood, who had multiple boyfriends.

Reminder that cops have no legal obligation to protect you. Their job is to protect property, and always has been. Photos totally unrelated.

Exhibit A: argument, not countered, but instead deflected. Your argument was about how much Biden was doing. I pointed to something he failed to do, and you… turned to Trump. Deflection, not challenge, not counting an argument.

BG3 lines hit very different when you play a halfling
Astarion is half-visible in the camp in BG3, his torso cut off by the camera. He address a halfling with brown curly hair and a beard, saying”I’m not normally impressed by people of your statute, but you’re stronger than I gave you credit for.”

Quick question @lawyersheryl.com, do you think a socio-economic system that denies people food and shelter if they don’t agree to work for a corporation would fit the definition of coercion given by Cornell Law (below)?
coercion (2) The term “coercion” means— (A) threats of serious harm to or physical restraint against any person; (B) any scheme, plan, or pattern intended to cause a person to believe that failure to perform an act would result in serious harm to or physical restraint against any person; or (C) the abuse or threatened abuse of law or the legal process.
