I mean it’s getting under trumps skin because he isn’t interested in valid criticisms and only understands schoolyard level insults.
It’s working as a message on the general public even more so because Vance and Trump’s messaging has gotten further from the original populism and more focused on an in group or his qult or whatever.
I don’t think “weird” is working in the sense of having any marked impact on racism
I absolutely agree racism should be called out whenever and wherever possible, I’m just not sure calling it weird is the right way to do that.
Also most Americans may not be explicitly racist the way trump and right wingers are but the majority certainly have internal prejudices or biases. Many left leaning people I know have had to put work and intentionality into unlearning patterns of thought or biases
Let’s not overuse weird, a ton of what he does is super weird but this isn’t really; it’s just racist which is pretty in character for him and his base
You can’t take the sky from me
Fucking send it to Ukraine they actually need it
That’s funny, most New Yorkers I know love Temptee way more than Philadelphia
No, she was still a victim and I’m not trying to undermine that, but at the same time I wouldn’t refer to her as a “sex toy” or “having no say”. She used her voice and agency to try and make things better for the people who came after her.
I think characterizing her as a voiceless object or oversimplifying a complex individual into just a victim does her a great disservice.
And then she used her fame and platform to write a book exposing all the people who harassed her and what they did. I don’t entirely disagree but I think she doesn’t deserve to be characterized as simply a sex toy/ victim with no voice or agency

Very curious what makes a man who said he believes he’d prefer suicide to prison show up in Texas on a private jet and turn himself in
Oh absolutely, it’s such a good one. You put it perfectly, one of my favorite things was listening to it while driving these twisty country roads near my grandparents house when I was younger ( a little faster than I should :P )
Edit: spelling
Fun fact, spirit in the sky was made by a Jewish man who just liked the sound of gospel music and didn’t believe any of it. White Christmas is similar, Irving Berlin was also Jewish.
Sometimes creative people just want to make good art and in largely religious societies they can make their art more relatable or consumable by incorporating that religion
Edit to add: Michelangelo never even wanted to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He … made it clear from the start that he resented the commission, which had been imposed upon him by the imperious and demanding “warrior pope”, Julius II.
Some absolutely beautiful things have been made in the name of religion, but underneath that I believe you see the beauty and creativity that the human spirit is capable of shine through, and those amazing people deserve credit much more than an invisible sky man or hierarchical power structure for supposedly inspiring it

I’ve never heard of using capitalized pronouns, would You mind sharing a bit more about why You use them?
No pressure at all, You obviously don’t have to explain or justify Yourself or Your identity to me or anyone, but I’ve done a bit of googling and the only references I can find are to deities and i genuinely would love to know more
Or just aim for the fucking chest
Thanks for posting, fascinating read. I haven’t used coinbase in years but useful to know they’re shitheads
Potentially irreversible damage, we have extremely little time to take meaningful action on climate change and if trump gets to appoint judges for the next 4 years the situation very easily could be unrecoverable
Russian military bases are visible on google maps and Ukrainian troops have been training in nato countries since close to the beginning of the war
