Finally over on the blue place. Still debbievee.

Guess we should just overlook how he was killed by HIS OWN MEN and had to be resurrected. That's not what I call resilience. Just pure dumb luck.

Zionist does not in fact just mean “Jew.” For example, some of the very worst Zionists on earth are evangelical Christians.

The trench run in the original Star Wars was cut by Marcia Lucas. (Yes, there are Special Edition shots in here) She rightfully won an Oscar for her groundbreaking work on the film and contributed to so many more. RIP to an unheralded cinematic genius.

Almost bought a new Porsche today. We got 95% of the deal done but couldn’t agree on a price, exact model, color or accessories.

Here's what the comparison you're raising actually contains, if you follow it honestly. Brazil imported approximately 4.9 million enslaved Africans over the course of the slave trade, more than any other country in the Americas. The mortality rate was so high that the population did not sustain itself, requiring continuous importation until Brazil became the last country in the Western Hemisphere to abolish slavery, in 1888. The United States imported approximately 400,000 enslaved Africans. By 1860, the enslaved population had grown to 4 million. Do the arithmetic. 400,000 people became 4 million through forced reproduction across generations, in a country that had made it illegal to import more. American slaveholders did not work enslaved people to death as fast as Brazilian sugar planters. They bred them instead. They separated families to sell children at profit. They used enslaved women as reproductive assets. They tracked bloodlines and priced people by their fertility and the health of their offspring. They created what historians call the "domestic slave trade", an internal market in human beings, powered by forced reproduction, that was generating more capital by 1860 than all American manufacturing combined. You raised this comparison as though it softened something. It doesn't soften anything. It adds a dimension of horror that the simple mortality rate comparison was designed, by you, to avoid.

Conservatives: You'd starve under Communism! Also Conservatives: Let me tell you why starving yourself is good for capitalism!

Why are ethical questions always like, ‘Is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?’ and not, ‘Is it ethical to hoard bread while families are starving?

There is no 'severe form' of the Andes Hantavirus. It has a 30-40% fatality rate, and like Ebola which its symptoms are almost identical to it leaves almost everyone who 'survive' it severely disabled and most will die within 5 years. It is ALWAYS extremely severe.

82 years ago, on December 1st 1944, African soldiers who fought and bled to help defeat the Nazis were massacred by the French army at Thiaroye massacre after demanding the salary they were promised. They survived Hitler, only to be murdered by the empire they defended.

The idea is to find a group of people most people regard as terrible examples, use them to make revoking passports a more acceptable form of punishment, then expand it from there.

Aprovecho este 4 de mayo para recordarles que tienen que ver Andor si no han visto Andor. Y también que tienen que repetir Andor si ya vieron Andor.

Happy birthday to Alex Lawther, who played Nemik in ANDOR! One of the most compelling new Star Wars characters is played by an actor born on May the 4th! May the Force (and the 4th) be with you!

The most damning image of Vietnamese people in American cinema, screaming, sadistic, forcing prisoners to play Russian roulette, was not even conceived as a statement about Vietnam. It was a Vegas gambling script that a producer bought for $19,000, handed to Cimino, who then transplanted it onto Vietnamese characters. And the Academy rewarded it with five Oscars. No research. No historical basis. No documented evidence it ever happened. Just a recycled gambling script with the location changed. And that image shaped how an entire generation of Americans understood who the Vietnamese were. Good drama built on a fabricated atrocity attributed to a real people is not just historically inaccurate. It is a character assassination of an entire nation, dressed in prestige cinema, laundered through awards season, and installed permanently into Western cultural memory. The Vietnamese had no Hollywood to answer it with.

Florida just gerrymandered both Wasserman Shultz's and Moskowitz's districts out and they're still voting with Republicans to surveil Americans. Fucking ridiculous.
