Living rent-free in the misogynist ruins of their minds: when you’re the anti-racist feminist that racist misogynist shits hate but can’t stop thinking about.

@rerutled found this.
The guy seems to be European (?)

For the longest time feminists from the Middle East would be called “the Egyptian Simone de Beauvoir” etc

So I’m like fuck-yeah to a European feminist being called “the German Mona Eltahawy.”
And here’s my sentiment on that

This idea popped into my head this evening and it’s been such a gift and I’ve been scribbling away - yes with pen on paper - and it’s exciting me.

I wasn’t looking for it. It just appeared and said “HELLO WRITE ME NOW!”

So I am.
I seem to have conjured it by recalling the first time I heard Holiday by Madonna (on a school bus in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 1983).

And it turned into pages and pages on Umm Kalthoum, Swedish House Mafia, Nina Simone, The White Stripes, and Abdel-Hakim Hafez.
When I was 4 or 5, I would fall asleep only by having a radio next to me. I’ve always loved music - especially pop. I have zero snobbishness when it comes to pop. I love Umm Kalthoum and Nina Simone, yes, but I’m right there with pop stuff too.

And it wants to be written

Siri what is Sharia but for Christians?

“Religion, Barr argued, limits government ‘by cultivating internal moral values in the people,” as opposed to “utopian” and hubristic secular programs.’”

talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/ag-b…
“The nation’s chief law enforcement officer went on to address religion, bemoaning how faith has been removed from the public discourse over the past few decades.”
For the millionth time: this is why I call these white Evangelicals the Christian Brotherhood.

They want what the Muslim Brotherhood wanted one #Egypt and elsewhere: politicized religion.

The Muslim Brotherhood are called political Islam. Barr et al are political Christianity.

Who did it better, Hussein Obama with his few 100 people or @realDonaldTrump with 125,000? #legacy

Let's talk #Mubarak! [THREAD]
I'll discuss policy in a sec, but let me explain Mubarak with a single photo: him in a pinstriped suit- where the stripes were a gold thread of HIS NAME.
(The fabric is from Savile Row, starting @ GBP 15,000. More for the gold thread). >
..In many ways, that tells you much about the man. Very concerned about his image. Prone to vanity-driven decision-making, even if the drawbacks are obvious. And clearly not ashamed to flaunt stolen wealth, at times.
Now. A few points on his legacy.
1) his death at home, after a decade in a beach house at taxpayer expense, is deeply unfair.
He should have been in a jail cell. Or in the Hague. Instead, he benefited from the broken justice system he left us.

Billionaire and GOP Mega-Donor David Koch Dead at 79

A Traitor’s Justice.
Phase III
Panic in DC.
RATS EVERYWHERE.
For those who decide to save the taxpayers some money - There is no escaping God.
Q breitbart.com/politics/2019/…
David Koch was on Epstein Island #legacy
Who is next? Would it be anyone who won Hussein’s Presidential “Freedom” Award? Justice coming!

These people are sick!

خصوم ترمب مستنفرين والإعلام الأمريكي (#cnn #msnbc وأخواتهما النيويورك تايمز والواشنطن بوست وعصابة اليسار المنحازة ضد ترمب منذ فوزه بالرئاسة ) في حالة سعار وجنون غير مسبوق:

نعم
قد يكون ترمب أخطأ في التشكيك بتقارير استخبارات بلاده وتماهى مع بوتين ، لكن يظل السؤال#
2️⃣
🔴🔴
خصوم ترمب غاضبون لأنه تماهى مع بوتين وشكك في تقارير استخبارات بلاده،وهذا مفهوم،لكن:

لماذا صمت هذا الإعلام عندما ركع اوباما لإيران،وخضع لابتزاز الملالي،واعتقلت ايران جنودا أمريكيين وأهانتهم؟!
هل تماهي ترمب مع بوتين أسوأ من اعتقال وإهانة جنود أمريكيين بلباسهم العسكري؟!
3️⃣
🔴🔴
حتى معظم الجمهوريين الذين يتحجج الإعلام الأمريكي حاليا أنهم غاضبون على ترمب هم خصوم له ، مثل السيناتور جون مكين ، وحاكم ولاية اوهايو ، جون كيسي ، الذي حرمه ترمب من حلم الفوز بالرئاسة، وغيرهم من الجمهوريين الذين جندلهم ترمب في سباق الرئاسة بشكل أفقدهم صوابهم!

I feel like driving up some controversy, so how about a thread of Hot Takes/Unpopular Opinions! You know the drill, one like = one take/opinion.

Start easy: the blunt awkwardness/cringe of 'Blurryface' is the point of taking the piss out of Tyler. I stand by my light 9/10.
2. I don't hate Nickelback's 'Dark Horse' - it's easily a record for them at their most tasteless, but the frat-bro swagger of it helps some of their better hooks.
3. 'Fireflies' by Owl City is a genuinely terrific song that captures precocious, starry-eyed wonderment better than few others in the 2000s.

It is SPECTACULARLY lame, but that's why it works.
