Oofh. Oh yeah, that one hurts.

Time is a bitch. I disapprove of the whole concept.

Will Cory Booker be giving multiple 25 hour speeches per day for multiple years? Because I just don’t see Dems doing much more than coasting off this for the next four years.

The only actionable thing that was accomplished was a black senator took the record for longest speech from a segregationist arguing against people like Booker being able to safely vote. Which for that alone he should be congrulated and celebrated.

Buy our new device that you can use like a computer mouse!

But I already have a computer with a mouse…?

Everyone I know is nihilistic and numb. We know.

I’m suprised and a lil’ confused why you would share this story in response. Respectfully, it feels like you’re shifting blame. Like, okay, sure, It’s your sister’s birthdays fault you gave money to a terf.

I mean, you do you but if the trans persecution isn’t a deal breaker when it comes to something so basic as media choices. Then, whatever. Own it.

Criticizing anti-capitalism media for existing in a capitalistic system is literally the last panel. I’m sure we agree on most things if you listened to ICHH as well, so I’m not trying to argue or start a fight.

But Evans has to eat, pay rent and deserves to make profit off his time like the rest of us. Personally, I feel as if you’re falling into the “AoC/Bernie/Hasan has money and are hypocritical socialists” style trap, which is at best lazy and worst willfully ignorant of the context in which we all live.

The podcast wouldn’t exist without ads, so ads are a weird thing to complain about. It’s the message that is important and ads don’t diminish that anti capitalistic message.

Libby is an absolute blessing.

They aren’t wrong! Carter may have been the best president post office, but he is also the American most responsible for the religious dictatorship that took over Iran and much of the middile east.

I’m a leftist, but after finishing “Reading Lolita In Tehran” and watching the PBS documentary “Taken Hostage” I understood completely how Reagan defeated him in a crushing landslide. The outpouring of grief after Carters death was difficult to stomach understanding the damage he had done. Yes the man built houses and gave generously late in life, but that’s because he knew he had a lot to make up for it. The man destabilized several nations, including his own, with entirely foreseeable negligence.

It doesn’t sound like you do. Problem with authority and a problem with abused authority are two very different things. If you worked well under a kind boss then it’s clear you don’t have a problem with bosses, just with those that are demanding, commanding and micromanaging. Sounds to me like healthy boundaries for your mental health.

She is demanding before she is even your boss. It will only get worse from here.

What.

The.

Fuck.

Well sure, but who exactly is saying he is a horrible person, and he is, because of the name? This is just an interesting factoid about the type of environment Elon was raised in.

Cats domesticated humans. Mine watches me clean her litter box. It’s clearly a power play.

Well speaking as a queer person I and many of my friends have had the pyramid cited to us to show why we would always be unhappy. The hierarchy is not an entirely flawed concept and in the broadest of strokes I agree with it. Which is why I only say it’s overrated, not inherently wrong. The hierarchy just falls apart rather quickly for GSM folks while being taken as fact by the general population.

The simple answer is catfishing, but this amount of time and effort dedicated to trying and be perceived as a woman seems like unrealized gender dysphoria and internalized racism. Their own self hate manifesting as external vitriol at out trans folk isn’t even remotely okay, but not unheard of.

Maslow is overrated.

As a trans disabled woman there are numerous ways in which threatens my ability to exist. And while that does make me angry at Trump and his supporters, I mostly view them with pity.

The MAGA faithful are victims or well orchestrated propaganda, using just enough of legitimizes complains of our late capitalist white supremacist patriarchal society but only to blame the wrong people. I have frustration at the farmers who are now critizing Trump since they didn’t think they would be hurt by his actions, but sympathy enough to understand they were tricked. I wish, hope and pray that they will leave the echo chambers that influenced them to look past his numerous severe faults and obvious corruption but logically I don’t see that happening for many.

While I am angry at all MAGA folk, the majority of which I feel were too focused on the day to day survival in our increasingly expensive world, I can understand. I believe them to both willfully ignorant and globbed to someone they didn’t understand. The harm he has caused was telegrpahed clearly years, months and days ago. But hating, excluding and diminishing them only lessens the chance of them understanding the lies told to them.

Remember, when someone asks “What would Jesus do?”

Going after all 4 cheeks is a valid response.
