Plenty of movies have done Neoliberal horror, but none of them have made the liminal stasis of the post-Cold War as literal as The Backrooms does. It's a genuine accomplishment for Parsons to make a movie that speaks just as much to Millenials as it does to Zoomers.

Fear not citizens if you should ever be put in a concentration camp by our state sanctioned fascist paramilitary force our state officials will do everything they can to ensure you stay in it and will arrest those trying to help you with as much violence as it possible.

Los Angeles Chinatown tenants asking questions about how candidates will tackle the housing crisis in LA at the candidates’ forum organized by @ccedLA. Only @raeforla, @kennethmejiaLA, and @Aida4LA accepted the invitation and showed up.

They are trying to deny the voters of LA the right to make informed decisions about who should represent them. We need a debate with all top 5 polling candidates now

You post “Xavier Becerra sucks” and your replies will be flooded with bots linking you to pro-Becerra articles and slop. The most astroturfed campaign of all time. Not even the NJ machine could have done this.

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”

This whole album may be one of the most underrated albums of last year ngl.

once again the most vindicated movie of all time

Graham Platner to Chuck Schumer: “You need to stop having a problem with the illegal wars we have been starting simply because of the paperwork that wasn’t done properly. You should be against them because they are fundamentally immoral, unethical, and illegal. We should have absolutely no discussion about funding them. Wars that are killing people for the benefit of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, those wars should not be waged, period”

Karen Bass is actively blocking the extension of public transit into her own high-income neighborhood. The K line extension is set to become the line with our highest ridership, but Bass would rather listen to a small set of NIMBY homeowners in Hancock Park than the will of the people. Join us tomorrow at 6PM at the Getty House to tell Bass: Do not kill K line north!

If I wanted to let every last major contributor to climate change completely 100% off the hook, this wildly popular talking point would be how I'd do it. 70k likes on this.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Nothing makes more sense than that. It played a big part in facilitating a reactionary shift in culture. You never want to overstate the influence of a website, but it infected the entire society with right-wing biases. It stamped a structure of reactionary thought onto culture.

If you followed GamerGate closely enough during its time to realize how nonsensical it all was you could tell something like this had to be behind it. All the warnings fell on deaf ears and now here we are.

No its completely obvious can we be serious for a second

You dont hate democrats enough

EDDINGTON proving horribly prophetic yet again (sadly)

ICE murdered a US citizen today and lied about it to blame the victim. Period.

Its fun to watch in real time how real world events get grouped into left wing or right wing topics du jour. being anti data center is “left wing coded” and being pro data center is “right wing coded” despite the fact that they hurt everyone and benefit about 1000 soulless people
