I don't wish to imply that Rojava was religious in nature or terroristic. According to the wiki entry, most Arab and Kurdish people there are Sunni Muslims
excerpt from the religion section of the Wikipedia page on Democratic Autonomous Administration of Northeast Syria. it reads, "Most ethnic Arab and Kurdish people in Northern Syria adhere to Sunni Islam, while ethnic Assyrian people generally are Syriac Orthodox, Chaldean Catholic, Syriac Catholic or adherents of the Assyrian Church of the East. There are also adherents to other religions, such as Yazidism. The dominant PYD party and the political administration in the region are decidedly secular."

It's a version of The Neil deGrasse Tyson meme. The text says, "watch out! We got a badass over here"

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty." Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

We have an answer to this, and it was said a long time ago:
A picture of James baldwin, with a quote: "we can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist."

Send to be a pattern:
It's the Wikipedia summary thing for the Dutch 'Centre Party.' there's the usual information about like, when it was founded and dissolved, but the interesting point for this discussion is where it says political position: "far-right." Also, the ideology is "Dutch nationalism." Then, as an ironic button on the whole thing, their slogan was "not right-wing, not left wing." It's almost a perfect parallel to what Elon musk seems to be trying to do with his American party.

Been thinking about RATM lyrics a lot. Today it's the second verse of "Bulls on Parade"
Lyrics from Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade." "[Verse 2] Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes Not need, just feed the war, cannibal animal, I Walk the corner to the rubble That used to be a library, line up to the mind cemetery now What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin' They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells"

Screenshot from the game Monkey Island. There are two characters looking off to the left. There is text that says "Never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game."

XKCD 667. A person with long hair is playing Skifree. They say, "I've always thought of Skifree as a metaphor for the inevitably of death." A person with no hair enters and says, "Skifree huh? You know, you can press "f" to go faster than the monster and escape." The players escapes the monster. The players stops playing and stares at the monitor.

I'm partial to stethoscope theory:
A graph titled stethoscope theory. There is a line going from the left side labeled 'far left' to the middle of the image labeled 'center.' That line then curves upward sharply and to the right to a point labeled 'far right.' Part way between center and far left points there's a second line coming off of the first, curving up and back towards the right, very close to the 'far right' point, labeled 'whatever the fuck Tulsi gabbard and tankies are doing.'

I went to r/talesfromyourserver for just, funny stories that weren't the news, but of course this insanity is everywhere. This was heartbreaking

The cafe near my house celebrate sonic's aniversary every year:
It's a large window facing out toward a street. The window belongs to a cafe. Taking up maybe 1/3 of the window is a large poster celebrating sonic the hedgehog's 33 anniversary. Both regular sonic and super sonic are present, and both have golden crowns
