Whoopi Goldberg says "the Holocaust isn’t about race"

My friends and I call this Schrodinger’s Jew. We’re white… right up to the point where we are not. Both white and not white at the same time.

Local reporter reports on the awfulness of February

as a 60 year old cancer survivor, i’ll take any month and any season with a smile and a sense of satisfaction.

If You See Something (IRL), Post Something! (Part 1)

I saw an older guy in a modded wheelchair going all over the place today as I read a book on the beach. Got back up to my balcony and voila: [image] He’d made a whole garden of them down the beach. What a cool hobby!

P.J. O' Rourke dead at 74

Is it really satire when you keep earnestly writing it, everyone has to explain it to people, and it isn’t funny?

Surprise! Study shows Ivermectin makes suffering from COVID worse

Symptoms of antivaxism include: defending Joe Rogan; whining about CNN; disagreeing with epidemiologists when you have no credentials; using the words “triggered, cancelled, cancel culture, ‘Rona, and echo chamber”; general whinginess; being flagged incessantly. If you experience these symptoms, take a clue pill and seek professional help immediately.

This is the underground prison economy of solitary confinement

The us prison systems are barbaric, for-profit businesses that rely on primarily POC and poverty-stricken individuals in general. Add into the mix mentally ill individuals and you’ve got a great pool of raw material for greed infected capitalists to make money from misery. This isn’t to say that really rotten human beings are also in the prison but rich white criminals don’t often end in the cesspool prisons. With all his appalling crimes trump will never see prison. It’s pointless to rant about…

Do you have a Black friend? Watch how white people say yes, but then can't remember the "friend's" name

Listen. If people need to be convinced to treat their fellow humans with dignity and respect… maybe they are just garbage humans… Maybe we need to treat them with the fucking contempt they deserve if they need to be told to treat other people with dignity and respect. A fucking child can grasp these concepts of treating other humans with dignity and respect. I’m, frankly, sick of tip-toeing around the fragile fucking feelings of white people when lightly fucking mocked for have pretentions to …

@bucaneer

Well, we are at that stage of the glorious and popular reign of the dear leader where he can no longer allow his closest supporters to come within knife-stabbing range of his person. His latest televised meetings with the defense and foreign ministers took place across an enormous table, and in the security council he sits at the opposite side of a big hall from everyone else.

Nancy Wilson explains the insanely complicated opening to Heart's "Crazy on You"

she is SO underappreciated. what a freakin’ wizard she is. god i love that intro. this is my favorite video of her just kicking all kind of ass (in those boots!) on this: [Heart crazy on you] EDIT: not sure why it says the video is unavailable. the link works fine for me when i copy & paste it into a new window : ( EDIT 2: fixed it, i think!

GOP Senators tweet screenshots during zoom meeting with Ukraine's Zelinskyy after being asked not to reveal his location

Those two have proven they can’t be trusted with a burnt-out match. Why would a single voter think it’s a good idea to trust either of them with an entire state?

Trump's official social network, Truth Social, is so far a dud

The right has this fantasy that they’ll get a social media platform to bombard their user with propaganda unimpeded. Based on my excessive time spent online the demographics don’t work out. Their largest pool of users would probably be the thoroughly uninformed but these people don’t look for shit on the net. They end up somewhere and then settle there. A long time ago you’d find these people concentrated in Yahoo forums and Q&A or some other place not too many links off from their home pag…

Walmart fired a worker with Down syndrome. A judge just ordered it to rehire her

Good grief, seeing this sort of thing makes me really appreciate the assorted places I’ve worked over my life - every single one of them, right down to the tourist trap parking lots I worked in as a teenager in the late '80s/early '90s were very focused on making sure everyone working there knew their employee rights, people with disabilities were accommodated, and everyone was treated fairly. One of my co-workers in the parking lot had severe birth defects, and we had extra equipment added to…

New York Times' editorial board: free speech is a "fundamental right" not to be "shamed" or "shunned"

Ding! Ding! Ding! Yep, the NYT editorial is absolutely defining free speech as “the right to say some stuff, and force nobody else to say anything unkind about what you just said” which is starts off as 100% free speech and then makes an abrupt u-turn into “my free speech means you don’t have any, so simmer down and shut up” It is so absurdly not free speech that they really ought to have just made up a new phase with the word speech in it, but not free. “Polite speech”, or “Speech without…
