Buenos Aires will likely become a new hotspot for the global far right. There's already a cultural center named after Kyle Rittenhouse that was a meeting space for extremists (including the guy who attempted to assassinate Cristina Kirchner).

One of the more frustrating refrains in arguments about Israel's war crimes in Gaza is the admission that Netanyahu is a psychopath, but then allowing that understanding to exist alongside the belief that Israel is earnestly defending itself from Hamas with its actions.

The people saying "try being gay in Gaza" as a retort to leftists calling for ceasefire don't seem to realize that it's a *more* principled position than their own. Even homophobes shouldn't be indiscriminately murdered!

Many died unambiguously. The killers waited, anonymously, to be identified, and in the void between weapons were put into motion, found bodies, and rendered them dead, killings all authored with the authorship implied, inferred, unknown, not yet full established, as their real victims died actively.

I hate passive voice with the fire of a thousand suns, but also it's ok to say you don't have a subject for your verb and object being mad because people aren't making definitive statements about something there is not yet a definitive answer for isn't healthy or good

it's cool how Netanyahu is on record saying they have to prop up Hamas to undermine Fatah, and Hamas's funding comes mostly from gulf oil monarchies, and the American press looks at this situation and decides the ultimate responsibility for Hamas's terrorism lies with American College Students

The thing about “they voted for Hamas” is the last time there was an election in Gaza, the median resident was a year old.

This is the highest compliment. I want to frame this in my apartment.

Gurl if we somehow figure out how to handle climate change and trans people open up a bar when you’re in your 80s you will be invited to every trans bar event like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Elizabeth Taylor were invited to gay bars for being kind to gay people when it wasn’t easy or popular

Almost as if Matt Yglesias' smug contempt for antiracism and willingness to play with racist tropes in the name of popularism are integral to the process that brings a full-on white supremacist like Hanania into the mainstream

Uh huh, and yet—

I was rude to a terf and got banned, unsuccessfully appealed. This guy posted child p*rn and Elon personally intervened to reinstate his account. It’s very interesting is all I’m saying

Elon Musk just confirmed that a prominent right wing influencer on the platform was suspended for posting "child exploitation pictures" also Musk confirmed that they just reinstated his account

Christopher Nolan write a compelling female character who isn’t a collection of discrete tropes challenge

How hopeful are we that Oppenheimer depicts the Red Scare and anti-communism with care and precision? Seeing it on Saturday with family and I'm nervous about the movie's politics lol. The Dark Knight is pretty damn reactionary, even though I still love it

The barometer for aligning oneself with progress is to gauge: How am I responding to social movements? Am I being definitionally "reactionary," seeking a backward-facing outcome centered around a movement "going too far?" If so, it's time to reflect and question your belief that you know better.

My main takeaway from this Jonah Hill "therapy speak" discourse is that not all feelings are valid, because some are just misogyny.

Watching a Majority Report clip where @emmavigeland.bsky.social talks about how the lab leak theory was always a pretty straightforward vector, no pun intended, for China Hawkery and yeah, I always found it interesting that many who love the "Anti-Interventionist" brand were the first to embrace it
