Even if you think drug dealers should get instant death penalty, there was no trial or any due process There isn't a law to do this Conservatives post snuff film violence porn videos because Republican "Trump supporters report higher levels of psychopathy, manipulativeness, callousness, narcissism"
Incredible to just say this out loud
true blueskyism has never been tried
both of our countries are fucked up and often act villainously on the world stage. i can call out your country’s bullshit and you can call out mine’s and it doesn’t need to devolve into a war of the anglosphere
good thing there are 340,110,964 americans you can interact with who don’t say things like that
this is a made up faction and made up belief. the amount of americans who not only want aoc to be president, but also care enough about uk politics to have this opinion is essentially a rounding error. also lol at a brit complaining abt inserting yourself into another country’s business

Here's what your preferred 2028 Democratic candidate says about you: (hopefully this uploads successfully this time)
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.
it’s a well-known fact that la is incredibly car-dependent with a public transit system that doesn’t currently meet the city’s needs. i think it would be more helpful to say “i understand why this is frustrating but these policies will work in the long run” than pretend ppl are being irrational.
full that my stop was skipped, and bc of this i was not infrequently late to school. and i only lived 5 miles away! again, i’m not opposed to this policy at all, i even think this is a dumb video! but the yimby tendency to brush off concerns w “just take public transit!” is disingenuous imo when
man you’re preaching to the choir! i took the bus to and from high school through ktown every day for 4 years! i’m glad i did, but i can personally attest to the tradeoffs of doing so. each way was abt an hour (as opposed to 30 min if i drove), the bus was regularly late, the bus would often be so
what website is this?
again, i agree w this policy and i don’t think these adu conversions should stop! imo they have to learn to live with it. but when we make fun of these concerns as irrational we’re refusing the acknowledge the tradeoffs of this policy and decrease our legitimacy. someone gets the short end!
no i don’t think it should be banned; i said i’m pro-adu! but i don’t think the comments brushing off these people’s concerns are helpful. taking transit for most ppl is not a viable alternative. most ppl living in ktown need cars for work and they need somewhere to put their cars.
like not only is parking in ktown IMPOSSIBLE, there aren’t many great transit options if you work in another part of the city. my friend in ktown pays hundreds of dollars a month to park her car. that’s unsustainable for a lot of ppl and instead of condescending we should pursuade.
i mean i’m not opposed to these adu conversions AT ALL but as someone who considers myself a yimby and wants better la urbanism, i think we come off as assholes when we make fun of ppl’s valid concerns.
lots of smug replies to this from people who have spent 0 time in koreatown lmao
also, only up to the la cienega expansion is opening this year. the westwood stops won’t open until ‘28
i mean plenty of people work or go to school in places that are not connected to the d line. it’s a great expansion and i’m very excited about it but ppl in ktown work all over and many still need a car. not against the adu dingbat conversions but it’s not as simple as you’re making it out to be
this is not really true for koreatown tbh. there are a few parking garages but they’re not always near where you’re trying to go. and the parking is actually pretty expensive a lot of the time ($20). i’m pro ADUs but they’re actually not exaggerating the issue
“The state and the people who support it would be the valid targets here” so ppl simply residing in a state are a valid target in israel but not the us? what’s the difference?
One of my most moral panic style opinions is the use of “NPC” as a slur is a symptom of a societal sociopathy epidemic.

self-respect! Democrats are allowed to have it!
It is mind blowing to hear Democratic politicians talking about the president sending the military into American cities as a “distraction.” Actually you are all now one degree away from being violently removed from power. The fact that this may not happen does not erase the fact that it may happen.
This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.
can you explain this gap in your posting history
I’m glad Newsom got over his brief stint of being a podcaster to go back to being the amoral political operator he was meant to be.
I’m trying to figure out what caused Trump to target these particular mayors
I hope it happens soon
vance's worst quality by far is that he's the prototypical tumblr crybully, just a nazi version of hannah horvath pretending to take a trauma shower because being asked to do your dishes is an abusive roommate situation
A late night message from Gavin Newsom
I don't want to make nice or do any unity bullshit or organize to change hearts and minds, I want to ride thermostatic backlash into power and then ruin the lives of everyone identifiably responsible for this down to the last man.
I’m a PoC, and I say West Virginia shouldn’t vote.

dawg they got dudes in pink polos throwing sandwiches on them and these are the *good* times for the admin
I love living in the real America (a big city)
I will say this. Trump is our fault. Europe being no more prepared for the present moment than it was ten years ago when Donald first came down the damn escalator is Europe’s fault.

Almost two years of hand wringing, excuses, and hemming and hawing about this from most elected Democrats and most of the mainstream media as the crime of the century happens in slow motion.
"settler colonialism" is like "microaggressions" in that it's one of those things that obviously exists so critics just obsess over the fact that it sounds a little bit like something a sociologist would say
Conservatives are incapable of understanding the truth, and the truth is this: they are the decadent elite that cause the collapse of the polity that they keep fretting about. it's them, it's always been them.
We have so many examples of positive masculinity for young men to model, what the fuck are people even talking about anymore
i know it reflects a declining civilization but i cannot stop laughing at this
i just think there's a position between "trump solely won bc of material concerns" (i don't believe this to be true, i think that both traditional and social media created a feedback loop for ostensibly economic, but perhaps actually cultural, grievances) and "the cost of living is fine actually"
fair enough, but stancil has been arguing for the last day that the cost of living crisis is made up. as someone who lives and goes to school in CA this is just so out of touch. i know ppl who have lived here their whole lives and want to stay who've been forced to move to NV and GA bc of the cost.
rent is expensive in places people actually want to live.

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. The Washington Post has just published every single known name. A seminal moment.
I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.
Not now, we’re having an argument about how atheists are annoying and should just shut up and accept the omnipresence of Christianity in American public life.

They’re actually gonna do it.
It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts. Text 1. Wilhoit's Law, born as part of a 2018 blog comment crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

I hate when someone unearths my pube-autograph to the world's most famous pedophile while I'm dying of cankles
Think of how many of the Diddy memes relied on depicting him as a pedophile, or someone who targeted men or boys, when the vast majority of his alleged actions involved adult women. Why is that not enough?
The mediocre and “failing” career of Taylor Swift (TTPD was a DISASTER) is a “national security” EMERGENCY and the DUMB and TALENTLESS Jack Antohack who only knows one “type of sound” is making things WORSE! SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO SYNTHPOP! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
This stuff is seriously baffling. It’s like someone went to Trump and said dude you have to convince everybody you are 1000% guilty. I don’t know what you have to do but do it and then Trump says hey I got this check it out. Just just watch what I do
when i was in the womb my mom would kink the umbilical chord like a hose until i was about to starve and then she would let it go and i would get blasted with a tidal wave of nutrients that was almost too much for my small body to handle

If a reporter stubs his toe in the East Coast, it’s a tragedy. If the West Coast gets nuked, it’s trivia.
I have never read feminist theory or critical race theory but I genuinely think if you try to explain contemporary politics *without* discussing race and gender, you're an idiot
you can practically walk onto a california state campus and double your lifetime earnings. nobody is stopping anyone from doing that.

Fight / don’t fight and hate each other / hate Republicans are truly the only two things that matter in Democratic politics anymore, ideology is completely over.

I do think there’s something incredible about the fact that the US President currently has so little credibility that he can continuously threaten to implode the world economy and absolutely nobody cares. I think it’s actually genuinely remarkable.
Like I’ve said, Trump is vaguely surreal because he feels like a caricature of every anti-American stereotype in one package. It’s like if France elected a guy who went around saying “I am Le Pedophile Surrender Man! I like le riots and le baguettes! I smoke le cigarettes!”
