For everyone doing comparative headline analysis, another entry
Mother Jones headline:

White Man Tells Black Journalists His Black Opponent Is Not Black

The shocking Q&A session was a preview of what a face-to-face encounter with Kamala Harris would look like.

I met Trump in 1994, and he seemed a bit Tony Clifton even then, but now he's really Tony Clifton, especially when he loses a room, and he's losing rooms more and more these days.

Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime series but I don't give a shit about the Spike/Julia romance subplot.

Fellow actors: You may see notices for some high profile video games that casting will say are "grandfathered" or "safe harbor" projects. This is just a loophole leftover from the pre-merger AFTRA contract. THIS IS SCAB WORK. Plus you'll have ZERO protections from AI reuse of your work. DON'T SCAB!

Spoilers for the anime series Wise Man's Grandchild to follow. . . . . . . . . . . . . . They set up a spoiled aristocrat rival for the hero early on, then made the rival over-the-top awful, then even more awful, then he turned into a demon and the hero cut off his head. Not what I was expecting.

I'm reluctant to read Althusser because he was a wife-murdering piece of shit. If that means I have gaps in my knowledge, so be it. Also, there is no epistemological break in Marx's thought.

This is so true.
Post by antifaspiderman:

there's two types of conspiracy theories in american culture:

• blatant antisemitism
• not actually a conspiracy theory the cia really admitted to doing this in declassified documents that are publicly available but the average american is so brainwashed by nationalist fervor that they refuse to believe it and call it a conspiracy even though, and i cannot stress this enough, the government literally admits to doing it

The rabbis of the Talmud discuss whether or not, if a man writes a bill of divorce on the body of a live animal, the divorce is kosher. Jews are divided between those who find this funny, and those who forbid themselves and others from finding this funny. May the latter never govern the rest of us.

None of the weird spins on this that the "both sides" media are using to shield Trump address that even if it was a joke, even if it was referring to something else, it's still a deranged thing for a Presidential candidate to say, and utterly disqualifying regardless of subtext.

1/ PSA: Conservatives want to define racism as something that dwells in the heart because what dwells in the heart is unfathomable. They don't want to define it as a behavior because they often engage in such behavior and often benefit from such behavior.

It's worth pointing out just how bad this is. These are members of the ruling coalition who are unhappy that there's the slightest chance of reckoning for what sounds like, for all intents and purposes, rape of a prisoner. And instead of using their political power they immediately leap to violence.
