This guy was the governor of Kentucky at the start of the civil war. His brother was named Ebenezer ffs

Among all the truly vile and nakedly evil shit here, this part stuck out to me

How many Palestinians in Gaza would voluntarily leave to live in Libya is an open question. One idea administration officials have discussed is to provide Palestinians with financial incentives such as free housing and even a stipend, the former U.S. official said.

This is a 1:1 exact copy of the us gov playbook to get Native Americans onto reservations in the 1800s. Carrot and stick, but the carrot isn’t ever going to materialize and the stick never lets up

Imagine not only getting the legal system involved in a family dispute, but getting so mad about it that the media is involved. These people are deeply, deeply diseased

Like there’s a news post and one of use would go “this is almost as bad as the time that ButtBidet …”

This is like Lenin talking about Kautsky lol

Edit: or we could all collectively invent a Stirner for you to inveigh against

he the future of the dnc

Also simultaneously its past

I’m imagining him standing over some poor bastard’s shoulder and directing them over and over again to make it more racist because he doesn’t even have the capability to do it himself

I get the exact opposite! I’m really bad at eye contact with strangers, so a lot of times I think I come off as a creepo. But I just want to tell people their shoes are cool or whatever. Guaranteed I would rather be on this side of this type of interaction though, unwanted advances are so uncomfortable

Also don’t forget the still currently unfolding Spy Cops scandal. There is seemingly no line the UK police will not cross in their pursuit of ghoulishness

Hell yeah 8⁷

If you liked it and want another Steinbeck banger set in the Great Depression you should check out In Dubious Battle. For some reason it gets left out when The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men are mentioned, but it is my favorite of the three. It’s about an apple pickers strike in California, and follows the communist organizers trying to lead it.

Goth wolves! What will they think of next?

It was a surprisingly good show, I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. Great cast too!

formerly carnivorous plants

This is so cool! Probably a tough sell for a few years though lol

Yup, exactly! But there a ton of other different species of carnivorous plants that aren’t flytraps specifically that grow all over. There are actually varieties in equatorial jungles, and all the way north into Canada too

They were also involved in making the show Duckman if you’re interested in more. It has that very specific 90s anticapitalism that was allowable in media before 9/11

I think we think it’s wild because all the media depictions of them are in cool and interesting places for plot reasons. In my mind they belong with like komodo dragons and birds of paradise or something

How they picture every college graduate
