@livandorder This is natural. What we’ve learned over the past four years is that liberals really just exist to uphold the power structure and get fucked by right-wingers. It’s leftists who actually have principles.

Corporate media really going full mask off.
CNN just ran a segment where the host is complaining that there's no memorial to Brian Thompson in NYC, like there was for John Lennon or Heather Heyer or George Floyd.

@NonsenSegue @Jon_Christian @bombsfall Don’t do it, he’s really a cultist trying to revive a demon who’s been imprisoned for 10,000 years.

I miss when the Matrix was a trans allegory where white guys as agents were super villains upholding the oppressive state against a very diverse cast, who went on to remorselessly mow down cops at an astonishing rate. Really sucks that it’s woke now. #Matrix.
"The Matrix Resurrections" was a sluggish, baffling, bloated mess.Lana excessively used philosophical mumbo jumbo to rationalize this film's unnecessary existence & its woke agenda.#TheMatrixResurrections is 2021's biggest disappointment. #KeanuReeves #TheMatrix #TheMatrixMovie

Marvel needs to end the Black Panther character and come up with a new Wakanda storyline because no one can replace Chadwick Boseman. He also played Jackie Robinson, and it's Jackie Robinson Day. What a loss and what a talent. #WakandaForever.

Amy Schumer inverting Martin Niemoller’s poem is about as dystopian as it gets. Honey, you’re a rich beloved white woman living safely deep in the imperial core, no one is coming for you.

Reminder that transphobia is literally a genocidal movement, there’s no such thing as a centrist position here. You are on the side of fascism or you’re not.
Kelly Craft, a Republican candidate for Kentucky governor, said if she's elected, "we will not have transgenders in our school system."

@SLCSocialist I think this part is not controversial. The misunderstanding comes from Americans thinking they’re the Rebel Alliance and not the Empire.

@wyshynski @NYRangers So a VP of PR didn’t think it was his job to get a pic of a first-round puck scoring his first goal? This smells like total BS.

Unpopular take: The WSOP Main Event is ruinous for the poker ecosystem and economy. $100.43M is put up by players. $7M goes to rake. Of the rest 30% of it goes to 9 people. Maybe another 100 pros and 100 recs had a run of a lifetime outlasting 9800 and had a good summer/year.

As someone who spent a lifetime in NYC media after 9/11, I find it hard to believe the entire city has nothing to say about the U.S. allying with Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria.

Think about how crazy it is that people in this country consider healthcare for all, police that don’t kill Black people with impunity. a semi livable minimum wage and environmental protections to be radical positions.

@MikeKofiA To the privileged, the concept of equality feels like oppression. In their hearts they are terrified of the prospect of “what if they treat us as bad as we’ve treated them?”.

The perfect strategy for the Sixers to win Thursday:.1. Fly Harden to Vegas tonight for an all nighter at Sapphire. 2. Have Harden borrow Lady Gaga’s meat dress. 3. Get Evan Turner to ring the bell.

The Democrats’ infrastructure deal has been chopped 40% three times while negotiating with themselves and Biden is demanding stipulations that he put in originally are maintained. Somehow this is seen as Biden catering to the left?.

@burrrrrberry I once paid for a sandwich for Allen Kessler because I didn't want to wait behind him any longer when he, at 4 a.m., was trying to find his Borgata card in his wallet full of Benjamins and slot machine vouchers worth 5 figures.

@TexasAvery @nataliepayer @livandorder The capitalist/racist brainwashing in this country is extreme. Obama, Clinton and Biden are right-wing in most countries. Leftists elsewhere actually advocate for things like general strikes and revolution. M4A, livable wages, free college are centrist (every1 agrees with them).

There are almost no park benches or places to sit in public in America because this county hates the homeless and want to be as cruel to them as possible. It also makes it a lot less comfortable for the rest of us who are just tired.

@bubbaprog I’m a low-level expert on the Negro Leagues and have done many stories on Negro League players over the years, interviewed many people for them. Suffice it to say I’ve said “Negro League” way more than most people and I’ve never come close to messing up.

America has an extreme right-wing party that serves corporations and loves war and openly embraces racial violence and the police state. Then we have a moderate right-wing party that serves corporations, loves war and does performative gestures to mollify marginalized groups.

@chuckwoolery Hey Chuck, when your ideas on race can be boiled down to “Hitler was right to crack down on these scholars” it’s probably not going to go over well. Hope this helps.

@LizzMurr56 The reason Korea is the forgotten war is that the U.S. made sure no one ever talked about what it did there. Let’s not forget the puppet authoritarian governments in the south, it was never about democracy.

Eden Rocks is a grifter who scammed the poker world as much as Rob Mercer. He took in countless investors who put in time and money and then single-handedly sabotaged everything they had worked for.

@ChuckModi1 Yes this is 100% true. It’s much rarer to see white women in interracial couples in TV/movies. Have you ever seen a show with an Asian man/white woman?.

@MarisaKabas Sympathy for rapists is a strange phenomenon that has no equivalent in any other crime. No one says burglary cases are "he said, she said"; there's no fretting about how the charges could ruin the burglar's life.
