Yeah I unfortunately had to unfollow Seema R a little while ago. She was really scaring me in the weeks leading up to the election and it sounds like it has only gotten more toxic.

Not In My Neighborhood is also an excellent book about the history of redlining.

I guess having a competition to shoot out the most kneecaps isn’t violence against women.

I guess explicitly limiting the number of calories available to each Gazan isn’t violence against women.

I guess crushing Rachel Corrie isn’t violence against women.

I’m re-reading Philip K. Dick’s VALIS trilogy right now and this feels like it should be an appendix.

“So anyway, I started blastin’ Elon Musk directly to his face.”

With regards to the combat training, I had a lot more success once I stopped worrying about trying to hit the special combos. I’m sure they’re OP if you can do it, but I beat the game easily without mastering those special moves at all. Timing and chaining regular attacks is much more important.

Just get a mace and start bonkin’ heads.

Who most Gog?

the edited-out sex scenes raise more questions than answers tbh

BAH GAWD IS THAT DATENA’S MUSIC?!

You can probably find a clip of Hitler literally promising to make the “most lethal” military in the world.

Fuckkkk that claim about cherry tomatoes. It’s a crop indigenous to the Americas and cherry varieties specifically have been documented for centuries. Just because some botanists in Tel Aviv bred a few new varieties does not mean they “gave cherry tomatoes to the world”. Typical settler .

I don’t know the history of drip irrigation tech, but it is true that if you’re buying irrigation supplies nowadays, a lot of it is made in either Israel (Netafim/Durot) or India (NaanDanJain). I have to purchase a lot of these supplies for work, so I try to buy the Indian stuff when I can.

It’s all good just remember: Latin is nerd shit for nerds and it literally doesn’t matter.

Akchually if you’re using Latin grammar, the plural of apparatus is also apparatus (apparatūs). 4th declension is just goofy like that.

The -a plural is for nouns that end in -um. Like medium/media.

Alright i feel like I have a good handle on the left counter-narrative about Tiananmen. But I’ve also seen a lot of content, including from scholars who don’t seem to be knee-jerk anti-China, that says that a shameful atrocity was committed.

Can someone who knows more than me play Devil’s Advocate here? What nuance is missing from the left response to the standard lib narrative?
