Obama murdered a 16-year-old who wasn’t even accused of a crime and got away with it, but I guess the rules are different when the victim is Muslim

If I were Biden, I’d nuke Mar A Lago

Business Insider discovers David Graeber

Speaking of history, I can’t say I’d relish hollering alongside people who’ve only studied it on TikTok.

Never seen a more perfect example of the kind of smug self-superior liberal in my life

I also often stir-fry onions, garlic, potatoes, tofu or cauliflower and garbanzos while waiting for the rice. But once again, that might be a bit more ambitious than you’re asking for

One pot lentils and rice is a good go-to. Cup of rice, 2/3rds cup of red lentils. Rinse a few times if you want. Fill with water to one knuckle above the top of the rice/lentils. Cook til water is gone or mixture is soft enough to eat (prolly twenty mins). Then add a jarred sauce like korma or one of the canned curry mixes you just mix with coconut milk. If you’re feeling a little more ambitious look up a recipe for kitchedi. As a vegan it was practically my Kraft mac n cheese

A surprisingly literal example of NIMBYs creating their own downfall

They train by eating shitloads of salad, which expands in your stomach. Over time this basically increases your stomach capacity

lookmovies2 dot to is where its at

People seem to constantly forget that the working class is mostly women of color. “I drive buses” or “I serve food” would have been better

My favorite recent example of that was a Politico article about members of the DNC becoming worried Biden won’t win re-election. I decided to wade into /r/politics for the first time in probably 5 years just to see their reaction. Every comment dismissing the polling numbers and painting the article as hyped-up nonsense for clicks. From the same people who love sharing any poll that says “X% of Republicans won’t vote for Trump”

Hate when my stutter makes me mix up world leaders

I don’t think documentation is really necessary when pretty much all media in the US portrays white, young, thin, slightly athletically toned, clear-skinned, white-toothed, symmetrical-faced people with societally-approved matching gender characteristics as “attractive”. Characters who exhibit those traits are portrayed/coded as attractive, and they are the people put in front of the camera on things like the news. Just saying “attractive” when talking about someone with those features is basically saying that anyone who does not have those features is inherently not attractive, when in reality many people have different opinions on what they find attractive.

Go full Prince and just become a symbol.

Do we have an Oregon Trail emoji? It wouldn’t surprise me

He’s aiming to beat Mondale’s record

I put it this way: Obama led to Trump. Biden is the older whiter half of the Obama administration. Why would that not obviously lead back to Trump?

I even made this argument when I was canvassing for Bernie in 2019. Boggles my mind so many libs can’t see it.

Yeah everyone thinks they’re “middle class” because in the US the poor are trained to think aspirationally and the rich are trained to downplay the exploitative source of their wealth.

Citations Needed has a great episode about the phrase “middle-class”. “It’s a capitalist carrot hovering over our heads telling us such things are possible if we Only Work Harder. More than anything, it’s a way for politicians to gesture towards populism without the messiness of mentioning––much less centering––the poor and poverty.” https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-91-its-time-to-retire-the-term-middle-class
