Jesus can be kind of spooky. I mean, from the treason part onwards, he becomes a bit weird. I guess torture and death can radically affect even the best of us.

Oi. Gotta fucking love belter creole, pampa!

I once met a Londoner who scolded me for having the worst English accent ever (“learnt” from comics, video games, movies, and public school). He was more concerned about my accent than my actual English, but otherwise he was an interesting man. We figured out each other, more or less.

Hahahaha, saw it just after waking up and didn’t get it. I just had breakfast and it clicked.

This is the way.

As she says: “we arrived all together”, referring to Mexican women to the presidency. She’s even better than I thought she would be, potentially the best president we’ve had, but it’s just been a couple of months and it’s easy to forget.

May be the whole departments of cartography and trajectory analysis? Trump draws his own tropical cyclone maps with Sharpies anyway.

I’m glad she’s doing better now.

Huh. Makes sense then, the pardon. Jesus Christ.

Not gonna engage with the other person who replied to you, but I hope you get your own conclusions about disappeared people in Mexico. A similar argument was made during the first years of President Lopez Obrador mandate about homicides. The right-wing regime before Lopez left a horrifying situation in that regard with homicides rising, Lopez could stop the trend and stabilize the absolute amount of homicides per year during the first half of his period. Of course, the “argument” from the opposition to his government was that “the most violent years in Mexico’s history” occurred during his mandate and they also like to brag about it being the most violent period in history, which is technically true.

Lopez did change the trend in his last three years of government. Sheinbaum, also a leftist, continues getting better and better numbers in homicides in general in her first months as president. There are cities where things are not fine or not even getting better, of course, because it’s not a uniform trend.

The opposition is now shifting to disappeared people, as it is loosing the discussion about homicides. Disappeared people is an issue in Mexico too, but it’s even more complicated as the right-wing government before Lopez was one of the main perpetrators of this crime. A long, atrocious chapter of disappeared people is called here the Dirty War. In this period (for the Spanish version of the Wikipedia it’s 1964-2000), the right-wing government would prosecute, kidnap, assassinate and disappear political dissidents. Currently, disappearance of people is related mostly to organized crime, which, of course needs to be addressed.

You won’t see Sanders become president. That will never happen. They, the bipartisan political establishment, robbed you of that forever, in 2016. But you do need to go and listen to this guy, learn from him, absorb his energy and regain hope. That is how a decent, intelligent American thinks, talks and acts. He is doing this because he sees something alarming happening from within the state and he is throwing a hail Mary to every decent people he can find on the streets. He knows change is outside the system.

Not for me. I think it has to do with the type of journalism I am accustomed to read, maybe. Then there is the issue of the website where this comes from, I don’t know who they aim to as their readers. It’s possible that it is focused on reporting about famous people or “stars” as they call them, and in this case, it’s totally fine. I appreciate your point of view, though.

Oh, and yes, I agree the guy said horrible things to Swift. That’s not a discussion for me. Where those words came from is important for me to know, and that bit of information would have been appreciated.

I find the title unnecessarily “clickbaity”, and this is what I think is unfair for readers and for the very same news reported.

EDIT: For example, I would prefer that instead of including “Elon Musk sets his sights on Taylor Swift”, they would have put something like “after Taylor endorsed Harris as a Childless Cat Owner”.

Yes, that exactly. The way she signed the endorsement and its relation to the Republican candidate. Still, the things he said are very disturbing and menacing, coming from the richest person in the world.

There is a context to what was said that is not fairly put in the title of the article, but this is still fucking creepy, misogynistic, ultimately unacceptable behavior.
