Daniel Sloss is the only comedian who does really dark comedy well without it being so violently offensive and vile because he makes sure that whoever he’s targeting is in on the joke or that he’s punching up. except when it comes to vegans

quick the meds aren't working we have to bring out the big guns
Ilya keeping a tally on his Twitter bio of people who have tweeted at him versions of “you and Shane are the reason my partner & I broke up, you guys were just too in love & it made me realize we weren’t.” The number is. Incredibly high and growing.
"I don't do politics" is a privilege. "I don't do politics" is neutrality that protects power. "I don't do politics" is falsely believing it won't eventually do you.
really heavily reject this idea that just by virtue of being oppressed you understand everything about all types of oppression, and that reading theory is unnecessary or is something that unoppressed people do to make themselves feel good. do not fall for this trap. you need to be reading . you need to be learning. your own ideas are good but they can only carry you so far. learn from others.
Throw back to the day I discovered Daniel Sloss for the first time during a Netflix binge while I was sick and sad. Went in thinking "make me laugh, funny man" and came out two hours later with my entire life and opinions on death, disabilities, and love and relationships completely upended.
Little old Italian lady: Do you have zucchini?
Me: Yes, right here.
Lady: Is how much?
Me: $2.99 a pound.
Lady: It's usually $1.49.
Me: Yes, in the summer.
Lady, pauses, then grabs two: I put it in a soup.
Me: Oh nice, what kind are you making?
Lady: You will not fantasize about my soup.
And then she walked away. "You will not fantasize about my soup" will be in my head forever. I love you, little old Italian lady.
Free Palestine till its backwards 🇵🇸
They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
Denial and control of language is a powerful tool for genocide supporters, especially for soft supporters.
Genocide relies on a lot of acquiescence and denial and complacency and pretending it's not happening.
Genocide relies on a lot of what Sartre calls "bad faith" ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith_(existentialism) ). This is different from the rhetoric of lying to another, but is about lying to oneself.
Calling these genocides what they are challenges that comfortable self-deception and challenges the load bearing lie that "I am a good person if I just collaborate with power".
my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military
in our defense this is oil
"ooooh nooooo but a rail strike around the holidays could cripple the economy" damn sounds like their labor is really really important and you should give them what they fucking want
Watched a great talk today about web/technology accessibility, and the speaker pointed out that yes, accessibility is important for people with permanent disabilities, and we should definitely care about that. But also accessibility helps EVERYBODY, because everybody will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situations that accessible technology can help with. Here are permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities that accessible technology can help with:
Remember that whether something is disabling or not depends on the situation, the environment, the technology, etc. We’re ALL disabled at some point. It is important to support permanently disabled people, but it is also important to remember that accessibility helps us all!
you can do it
when you mourn Elizabeth, i hope you mourn the cultures and the people she destroyed. The lands that will not recover from damage by the UK because this damage is irreversible.
when you mourn Elizabeth, i hope you mourn another opportunity to right the wrongs of her father. i hope you mourn the 70 years that were not long enough to even try.
Did yall see the interview of Dan talking about getting engaged & responding to criticism he received? Thoughts?
I found it interesting that people interpreted his message roughly as, “Love isn’t real.”
The message I got from Jigsaw was, “Most people in relationships are incompatible with their partners, and we need to consider how the person we love fits into our life & our plans for the future.”
