Yes. Even if this protest is peaceful, people need to come with more confrontarional rhetoric. I am sick and tired of the punny signs about love winning and smiles and roses. They’re fucking executing people in the streets and we need to get mean.

“Cops=ICE=🐷=fascist bootlickers”

“Cops and ICE love protecting pedophiles”

“Seth Moulton hates trans people and is not your friend”

Why is this interview happening inside a sauna?

If they weren’t paid they’d be slaves.

This is from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story for anybody who doesn’t recognize it.

*kleptocrat, not technocrat

This is what Žižek called the “unknown known” in reference to Donald Rumsfeld’s famous speech. That America had, all along, and knew that it had, all along, the capacity for evil and torture, but chose not to confront it or admit it prior to the war.

I never thought about it that was; that’s a great point about the mechanism for differentiation.

I get what you mean about preachers. I’ve heard Raphael Warnock in person in both political and religious contexts and that man can hold an audience.

I did watch it. Honestly the church-and-state bit was far from compelling. Not because I don’t believe in an ironclad separation, but because that feels like the minimum? It’s an easy win for the base and doesn’t feel differentiating.

But maybe I’m being too cynical, especially hearing it from a white guy who, again, came across to me as inauthentically polished when a chunk of the interview was also devoted to claims about disparaging comments he is alleged to have made.

Is Talarico interesting/actually have a political vision? He seemed manufactured, very artificial during this interview. I’m not following the race closely but comparing him to what I know of Crockett has me less than excited about all this free media for a Buttigieg clone

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions!

First growing up, were you a fan of Star Trek? Second, now that you’re part of it, what has it been like to join such a large and long-lasting franchise?

Omelas was a utopia. All we need is to sacrifice one so the rest of us can live in bliss.

Massachusetts added a graduated income tax on incomes >$1m by ballot measure in 2022 and it raised so much more than projected in 2024 and although there are still holes, has massively helped with public transit.

The execution currently being wrongfully attributed to Luigi Mangione changed my view—as has the glorious 10th of September, when Charlie Kirk got Charlie Kirk’d.

I realized that, empirically, I am pro-death penalty in some cases.

Maybe another way to put it: do you believe in self defense? Maybe not “castle doctrine” or “stand your ground” but what about cases of war? If killing Nazis and Imperial Japanese soldiers in a war of defense (WWII) is okay, what about self-defense against the billionaires during a class war? It’s no accident the Epstein associates are all “elites.” This is part of the class war and their exercise of power over us.

OP is just doing a social experiment to test the “half-naked women get thousands of upvotes” meme from reddit by offering some content with half-naked men who aren’t otherwise connected to the A+ content about CEOs comically dying (or having their lives ruined).

I checked that list and I don’t see it. Wikipedia lists are a good starting point, but it may not have a page. Especially since, I have a sinking feeling about the fact that it may have been a made TV movie which tend to be less well-documented.

No, but I’ll add that to my watchlist!

I should have specifiednin the post but it was ca. 1990, plus or minus a few years.

Isn’t this sort of the same idea as a spoonful of sugar and hiccups?

Cross their T and rake the decks with grape shot!
