Isn't America officially defending South African apartheid as good now?

There's a reason they word decisions as they do. They don't say the President is a king, they claim he can do whatever he wants this one time only for obscure reasons. If a Democrat takes office, those reasons won't apply.

Much as I enjoyed Spiderman Brand New Day, I also find it funny that people in my ideological camp are more likely to think Chris Nolan has sus politics than the makers of BND. Nolan actually had Batman give control of his spy tech to a man morally opposed to it.

This, along with his passion for cops assaulting homeless people, needs to be talked about every time he writes anything in a mainstream outlet.

Is there an e book option for people in the United States?

At least with Run Hide Fight they could claim with plausible deniability that they weren't endorsing violence against their enemies because it was the hated Muslims doing the violence, and actually their policies would help their enemies! Here, they've abandoned even that excuse.

Will it? So long as they change the names and don't explicitly say it's Renee Good (just wink wink at their audience), I don't see how you'd get a lawsuit.

There's a meme going around on YouTube that Zendaya can only make one face. I don't deny she's made that face a lot, but I've seen a lot of variation from her. Solely in Spiderman.

For those wise souls who avoid Facebook, conservatives are implying (in some cases saying) that Iran is a Christian majority country that wants to be conquered by America.

thucidydes.bsky.social @thucidydes.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yes, but they also wanted a holy war against Iran.

No. Republicans openly said they were going to violate the deal in an open letter to Iran. It's not just Trump.

He did use a male version once. Against God. He defeated God with that.

This assumes that the problem with Nazis is that they just haven't been educated though. Everyone has seen Indiana Jones.

One of my friends who loved that meme is loudly an atheist and pro trans rights.

thucidydes.bsky.social @thucidydes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Also, how many are concerned about Nazis solely because some Nazis dislike Netanyahu senpai? Or even are just vanilla conservatives who are mildly skeptical of forever wars?

Not the whole thing. There's a paywall, but neither of us wants to do that.

I only got to the part of Shrier's response where she was going to explain conservative parents being more "comfortable with authority" before the paywall hit.

According to attack ads against Sherrod Brown, he supports "forced sex change surgery". When he defends himself, instead of attacking trans people, he should just scream "what the **** does that even mean?"

Hemant is pretty cool. Besides, the stereotype of atheists that religious conservatives put out is that they kowtow to Islam and hate Christianity.

His fans responded to the video by being upset that a leftist YouTuber is talking about something other than America being the Great Satan, therefore liberals are fascist.

I've seen you talk about stuff other than right wing slop tubers. But I only have seen them talk about the culture wars.

ICE isn't going after white normies, though. That's why the "it could happen to YOU" argument falls flat.

A lot of right wing culture warriors can never accept that a movie they don't like is just bad, it has to be an effort to destroy goodness itself.

Given that Lewis was unambiguously right wing (at least Tolkien you could separate the art from the artist), I have no idea who this movie was made for. Mind you, I don't think they're trying to "destroy the West" or whatever. I think they're just making a bad movie.

This was used against Evo Morales in Bolivia. He did really well in rural areas with indigenous voters, but those areas reported votes slower, and that was used as "proof" of fraud.

So, I gotta ask: does anybody actually object to the Dark Sun setting on the basis of it having slavery and bad stuff? Because I keep hearing people say WotC can't do Dark Sun, but I never hear actual people say they shouldn't.

thucidydes.bsky.social @thucidydes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Any valid grain of truth they might have about queer people having a soft spot for Islam falls flat given the bad faith that argument is made in. I highly doubt the people who think trans people are predators would truly shed tears if someone on their team killed a trans person.

But I was a fan. Probably still would be, if not for... Is the series worth the pedestal it was put on? I don't think any series ever could be worth that pedestal, but no. But if Rowling hadn't gone TERF, and Rick Riordan had, I'm sure people could find "proof" in PJ that Riordan was always bad.
