A cool way to keep yourself from having genocide in your nickname is to not have funded and armed a genocide
Leftoids who call Joe Biden “Genocide Joe” are very stupid people who deserve to be ignored for all eternity.

Googling it these days is suspect, frankly, too.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

It sure seems like everything went to compete and utter shite after that. My heart still breaks.
I refuse to believe this was a decade ago!

The highlight of my day today was spotting Paul Simonon on an advertisement.

“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”
I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”
Tell Students the Truth About American History
We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

If you like Pre-Jackson Tolkien adaptations, Bo Hansson’s “Lord of the Rings” prog rock album is great.
I think the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit is likely going to be the best adaptation of Tolkien's novel that we're ever going to get. Its art design runs the gamut from rustic to creepy to lovely, and its assortment of songs lend it a fairy tale quality that really fits the story.

Shoutout to The Hobbit’s 70s folk rock soundtrack. It goes to show that music is as important to a Tolkien adaptation as the visuals.
incredible voice acting too...orson bean as biblo, hans conreid as thorin, fuckin' john huston as gandalf AND richard boone as the voice of Smaug!!!!

I love mainlining Mamdani content.
Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."

This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The only thing that really challenges Cheney's legacy of cruelty is the genocide in Gaza, but even there it was Cheney who set the precedent that returned foreign affairs to the rule of 'the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.'
