It is genuinely incredible how certain people will know absolutely nothing about a subject yet pronounce on it confidently, projecting their own views as though timeless and ironclad

Two panel comic. Panel 1: there’s a rap battle going on, with a small crowd of onlookers enjoying the show. The guy on the microphone raps, “this fool brought an ancient staff. You got no swag; it makes me laugh!” Panel 2: the rapper holding the other microphone is an evil sorcerer with sunken eyes and a long purple robe. In his other hand, he grasps an ancient magic staff, which instantly shoots a bolt of powerful energy at the first rapper, reducing him to ash. The crowd of people watching the battle react excitedly, in awe of the evil sorcerer’s skills.

I’m also getting to the point where I really appreciate how the original Star Wars was portrayed as being part of a larger narrative without feeling the need to expand on what the rest of the story was. I like telling “middle story” stories as art-pieces without needing a before or an after.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

Hard agree. The best cities I’ve lived in have been full of all different kinds of people. Places that are overwhelmingly single culture can be nice to visit but I think I’d eventually succumb to utter boredom living there.

Yeah well I grew up in a mushroom village, so I’m not really used to how you do things. We used big giant mushrooms as our houses. We used bioluminescent mushrooms as lamps. And we didn’t try to change the plan last second if the other person already made reservations I guess that’s normal here

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Nobody who joins ICE has ever had friends, enjoyed sex, or made another person happy in any way. They’re miserable bastards and they only want to spread their misery, to offload it. They will fail at this, too. Their misery will just get worse. I have scientific proof of this.
