I cannot die until I finish One Piece.
Playing Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game or tracing different DBZ characters and coming up with changes for Super Saiyan XX
I need a range of emotions.
Knowing nothing about them and their tastes, Monster. But if I know them, probably Monster. Maybe FMAB, My Dress Up Darling, The Faraway Paladin, or Haikyu!
anything with too much gore. No, I won't like Elfen Lied. No, I'm not gonna try Berserk.
Akame Ga Kill also, Dungeon of Black Company and in a not so good way, School Days
Overpowered main characters are propaganda for "benevolent" authoritarianism. + ACAB does not apply to the Marines in One Piece for two reasons: it's an anime. Most Marines are genuinely unaware of the WG or how Celestial Dragons are.

imagination and depth
some shitty isekai I put on in the background but don't remember whatsoever, maybe How a Realist rebuilt a Kingdom. I really only remember it saying something about the necessity of hierarchies that was 😬
Lupin or Bon Clay. Can't possibly choose.
Kaguya, gods, and extra dimensions only appearing in the final act
One Piece or Monster

I keep this on deck cause it's the realest shit I've ever read on the internet.
"Support my candidate. I agree his politics sucks. I agree he's a bad person. But he's so popular." That's how dumb you sound.
My favorite fantasy stories are those where magic *might* be real. Scooby Doo type ish
Black Trans Lives Matter. Never forget it.
More people need to have boundaries they hold , and name when they were wrong before and why they ain’t doing that no more . And it’s even better when they are funny as hell while doing it .
Israel killed the prime minister of another country and will face zero consequences for it.
Could it be? Oh my! No... it certainly couldn't... could it? ...be that the NYT and zionists don't give 2 flying fucks about the Jewish people as anything but a tool, a cudgel and a shield, by which to tirelessly beat the drums of empire but remain protected from accountability.
No one. Not a single person in your mentions is saying the 19 year old did anything wrong. It's not about what an adult "can" do. It's about what an adult, a 38 year old POWERFUL man should or should not do. If Newsome was 19 and she was 19, I'd have no problem with it. The whole thing is relative
Child/adult is relative. To me a 19 year old is a teenager and teenagers are children. This isn't about the law. And we're talking about electing someone to the highest office in the world, so their personal ethics matters to me.
I'm going to be sincere for a second: Every official act of Trump is legal. Are they all moral? Parents selling children into marriages with adults is legal. That ok? Passport bros: Guys that fly to poor countries to leverage their relative wealth over destitute women is legal. You signing off?
If you think the morality of sexual predation on children is a "technicality" of the law, you should keep that to yourself and your therapist.
Oh, the fuck shit is going to hit the fans because the west isn't able to exploit the world in the ways it could last century. And American business is only as loyal to the empire as far as the empire can do for them. That exploitation is expanding inward but that can only go so far.
OnePiece manga has been peaking for quite some time... (Btw, don't comment SPOILERS, have some empathy)
What in the weekend at Bernie's? Y'all will believe anything istg!
as to all the speculation this weekend, all i can say is that it's nice to see prayer making a comeback on the left.
I want to come back to this not to be mean but because it’s just a very frank description of the problem with how we conceive “expertise” across many fields.
Some might say the government paying robots to deny healthcare is late-stage capitalism. But if capitalism can go this far, where can't it go, yk?
I'll say one thing I hope it wakes up in the "independent" media sphere is the distinction between journalism and punditry.
I could be trusted with the power of life and death over all creation; I'm very chill
no truer words have ever been spoken 🙂↕️
Sausage gravy makes almost anything even tastier.
I heard a phrase I'd never heard before, "whoever throws the second punch starts the fight." And like, I get it. It's clever. It's also complete bullshit but I feel like it's the Dem playbook. Only every time they are punched, it's the first one.
I'll only admit I don't understand it enough to say this is actually more than just semantic distaste for the terminology.
that the problem is a society that thinks there is a "right way" to think. Everyone is neurodiverse (probably) and if a practical classification needs to be made for people, it should not be one that points to irregularity by comparison to some fictional ideal of a "normal."
Neurotypical implies there is a 'normal' way to think. But as telepathy isn't a real thing, no one really knows how anyone else thinks. Oh but psychologists-much of western medical and social sciences are just white supremacy. And this isn't about the people with diagnoses but instead...
When it does happen, make sure your memes have alt text and your hashtags are pascal cased. I want to be able to like and share everything.
Chuck Schumer realizing in 2025 that Republicans are rejecting bipartisanship.
Do people not realize what sorts of incentives they set up for politicians when they say "I'll vote for you no matter what your policies are!"? All that does is tell them that yes, they can adopt the worst policies.
Definitely 💯
meanwhile, their feminism: women are not sexual objects for them to prey upon, they are frail possessions to be protected.
“Oh I see you’re resorting to personal attacks.” Well, yeah. I’ll logically refute your points because it’s the right thing to do, but I also deserve some joy.
to be fair Trump hasn't "ran" since 1955 ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; 🎤
I've never successfully done it myself so I only buy from those mall kiosks now that do it for me.
you don't understand what a zero-sum game. You're a child that thinks saying things like "zero-sum" makes you sound smart
go to therapy. I never stated a policy. I never stated a solution I made fun of the absolute undeniable idiocy of calling state budgets a "zero-sum game." That's dumb. Period. Laughably so. Anything else you're talking about about is cope bc your friend or alt didn't like being laughed at. 🎻
No, you're defending the idea that "state budgets are a zero sum game" you shill for capitalist propaganda. Don't fucking come in my mentions and collapse context within 2 replies to condescendingly tell me any progressive change in tax policy is unrealistic.
Also, do you even realize you're telling me progressive tax policy(not the only way to impact revenue anyways) is less reasonable than a Confederated Blue State Public Option
don't use terms like "zero-sum game" of you don't know what they mean just to sound more photosynthesis you clowns
I think I'm just dying seeing "zero sum game" but especially tied to govt budgets or budgets in general. I just feel like you have to not understand budgets, government, or what a zero-sum game is. Or, you have to be thinking cosmically or some shit.
just no way to increase government revenue
"A zero-sum game is one in which no wealth is created or destroyed." lol, this u left?
"We feel aggrieved by a general population and can justify their suffering" isn't new.
(heavy sarcasm tw: how excusing the suffering of a minority for the greater good is a permission structure for fascism) For every immigrant that has a roof, there is a citizen unhoused. For every trans athlete, a cis person can't compete. build houses, shut up, and train more doctors
Totally appreciate that's their take not yours but I just feel like adding: Rural America is not white America. And when you impose austerity in rural America, you impose it more harshly on the minorities living there than the majority because that's how systemic oppression works.
Look, I'm not going to vote because I don't know how and can't be bothered to Google or stand in a line or find out how mail-ins work. But I'm not gonna say that, I'm gonna act like voting is antithetical to the work I'm not doing on the 360 something other days in the year.
Sometimes a friend tells you a truth that cuts deep and you kinda gotta sit with it. I love those people. But damn.
Chance and J Cole
I was born into this shit but I do remember the first rap song I learned the full lyrics to was Changes by 2pac
Lupe Fiasco was my favorite rapper in high school
The Magicians
We should tax the billionaires but we need to pay reparations to much of the world before we start talking about UBI or anything free for American citizens that doesn't start with nationalizing the industry.
When I see these, I don't think sick burn anymore. No, they're framing this on their wall. They've shifted the overton window. They're winning. As sick as it is, this is their equivalent of seeing liberals argue that immigration is good for our country and a result of American imperialism.
Honestly, I might just be paranoid but I feel like tech money would either naturally or maliciously muffle it.
Anyone know just how substantial the concern for AI is for climate justice? When I talk to people outside strictly leftist spaces, they have no idea about the impact of AI on the environment and so maybe I'm just too close to the issue.
somebodies gotta do it.
It's condescending which only adds to the frustration of being told 'your suffering is convenient, you just don't understand, you wanting to survive is selfish.' "The opposite of love is not hate it's indifference." Trans people are people, but that's not comfortable to say? look at yourselves
There's a through line to MLK's "white moderate" in this whole 'trans rights are not a winning issue' argument people are making. It's so often preceded with, 'I know, you're right but...'
I'm also choosing omelette but you're allowed to put whatever you want in the scrambled eggs too.

DSA-NYC is already organizing people now to push Hochul and State reps around a millionaire tax. We are going to need A LOT more. We at NYC PLAN are preparing to meet with every NYC Council member to be ensure that they know what we expect from them re: public libraries.
But money for bombs or to bail out banks and no one questions where it comes from.
There is something immensely patriarchal about it. Because they won't say they want them to suffer. They'll say they don't want to demotivate them or something. Like the dad that kicks his kid out the house at 18 without support to "teach them to be independent."
Imagine a world where progressives collectivized their campaigns in a way similar to but beyond the way Justice Democrats did. Sitting progressives & primary challengers would have to balk the party establishment but with favorability where it is, it's time. Be clear they are reclaiming the party.
BOO! 👻 I'm scary, huh? Made you flinch? If me just existing as a queer person can put so much fear in your heart then you're bitchmade actually. Legitimately a skill issue. Git gud
A majority of this country just hasn't fully contextualized and accepted that a man who once tried to overthrow democracy has illegally taken control of the "well-regulated militia" and pointed it at the citizenry.
"Only the dead Nazi can be trusted to leave the innocent unharmed." —Lyudmila Pavlichenko (preach, sister!)
by-the-by, I imagine there is a trampoline outside the window but that guy is actually a hired stunt man who is paid to help send the message common sense won't be tolerated.
Every liberal think tank
The fucked up thing is they should be on the front lines of protests. Force the decision from Trump whether to arrest the entire Democratic Congress for peaceful protest or to stand down the national guard. That would be leadership. And their approval would skyrocket.
Yet another reminder that you do not know your para social faves. Why it's important to recognize the difference between people you know and people you know of. And the importance of finding role models and mentors you are actually in community with.
...to enact violence on their behalf. Take the question of if American troops would mow down peaceful protesters. That's a limitation on power. So what happens when a leader has access to automated violence? Well, with drone strikes, esp AI driven drones, that limitation is disappearing.
Power is taken, not given. You see that throughout history, power is transferred through violence or the threat of violence. Power was naturally limited because violence was enacted by people, whether with sword, gun, or tank, the power of a governor was in their ability to convince people to...
I don't think people think about or talk enough about the automation of violence.
Once you can convince yourself to dismiss empathy for a population in the interest of the greater good, they've won.
"Their suffering will bring about peace," Said the zionist of the Palestinian. Said the maga of the immigrant. Said the nazi of the Jew. Said the liberal of the trans. "but trans rights is a losing battle." Advocating not to defend a minority is advocating for their suffering.
I think a governor calling in the national guard to stop ICE agents would be a reasoned response to what is happening. It is time to be proactive. I think if the President wants to federalize them, make the case to leadership. If you they, they get the same as if they did nothing.
I'd be fucking unstoppable if i didn't have to deal with my flesh.
And it's not difficult to explain to kids. It's difficult and even hurtful to understand while holding on to certain misogynistic and patriarchal beliefs.
