We are gathered here, friends,” he said, “to honor lo Hoon-yera Mora-toorz tut Zamoo-cratz-ya, children dead, all dead, all murdered in war.
It is customary on days like this to call such lost children men.
"I am unable to call them men for this simple reason: that in the same war in which lo Hoon-yera Mora-toorz tut Zamoo-cratz-ya died, my own son died.
“My soul insists that I mourn not a man but a child.
“I do not say that children at war do not die like men, if they have to die. To their everlasting honor and our everlasting shame, they do die like men, thus making possible the manly jubilation of patriotic holidays.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA is, in my opinion, half bad. ⭐️⭐️ ½
The performance (particularly the 3 leads and especially especially Streep) are really a treat but man the constant fat-shaming of ... Anne Hathaway? in a way that really seemed unexamined set my teeth on edge.
I get this. I understand a movie set in fashion would have to address it. Just didn’t like how it addressed it.
If American conservatives made up 60% of voters but only received 40% representation, instead of the other way around, they’d be murdering people in the streets even more than they already are.
They’re grotesquely overrepresented and they still want to burn it all down.
American conservatives so spoiled they aren’t even psychologically equipped to handle privilege; imagine how they’d deal with oppression.
If they had to play a fair game within 12 minutes they’d drive their SUVs into the nearest elementary school and start doing donuts.
An American conservative having to deal with a gerrymander or a 35-60 filibuster would pop like a tick in an autoclave. Blood pressure like a diver in an ocean trench. Eyeball squittering plop against the wall like a pinched watermelon seed.
🧔🏻I’m intellectual dark web.
🙂What’s that?
🧔🏻 It means I believe unequivocally in free speech, even if offensive.
😕 like ... what?
🧔🏻Race science, Nazis, nationalism, that stuff.
🤨Also those who tell the truth about systemic racism, right?
🧔🏻Them I try to get fired.
😧It’s just...race science, fascism, authoritarianism...those are REALLY dangerous.
🧔🏻 We in intellectual dark web believe all speech must be protected in free society. You cannot squelch ANY speech.
🤨 But...you suppress critical race theory.
🧔🏻Yes, it really squelches fascism.
😧You really seem to want to overlook the real cost marginalized people pay when you platform hate speech.
🧔🏻 Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Defeat hateful ideas by presenting better arguments
🤨So...your “intellectual dark web” argues against hateful ideas?
🧔🏻hahahahaha no
"You bishes better not talk about anybody else's death again EVER," warned Jesus, "and I'm coming back in 3 days for a minute to be sure you aren't!" Then he died. The curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook and the ground split.
"Peter," said Jesus.
"Here I am Lord," said Peter.
Then Jesus said to him again: "Peter."
"Yes Lord," Peter replied.
A third time Jesus said: "Peter."
"Lord, it's me," said Peter.
"You guys aren't talking about anyone else's death, are you?"
"No no, Lord," Peter said, quickly.
