what in the world is going on right now

[sanjidysphoria]

a thing that will forever amuse me is the movie fandom’s depiction of the relationship between gandalf and pippin. like “haha old man is annoyed by younger man” is funny on its own but what most of them don’t know is:

gandalf is an entity, an angelic being taking up human form who is older than time itself. pippin ‘i exist to spite god’ took is like 17. this is a teenager constantly fucking up an ancient being.

pippin is the biggest minor inconvenience in gandalf’s life.

okay, I’ll bite. What’s media

[akumeoy]

media is when one guy is chasing another with a knife but a tv camera zooms in so it looks like the guy with the knife is being attacked by the guy who’s actually running away. that’s media.

[utopians]

Christ that’s fucked up. Is anyone doing anything about this?

Anyway, the reason Biden is even more dangerous than Trump in some respects is bc the “lesser evil” argument makes people complacent.

The excuse will always be “well ok sure it’s bad & his policies are shit & yeah he‘s racist & yes he might be too handsy with women & yes we remember his treatment of Anita Hill & yes he participated in drone-striking civilians abroad & true, he did help deport record numbers of people...but the Republican boogeyman will be woooorse.” Blue conservatives like Biden don’t face resistance from centrists, libs & the center-left, so its easier to enact harmful policies & a new center-right SC justice (at best).

That should be just as scary as Trump, who only really differs in that he’s brazen enough to say the fascist part out loud.

[sorryconky]

actually denying the ‘lesser evil’ argument is what makes people complacent.

“sure trump is bad and his policies are shit and he’s a racist and a serial rapist, significantly increased drone strikes over his presidency, has treated undocumented immigrants significantly worse, is killing hundreds of thousands of americans by refusing to address the pandemic, rolled back all sorts of environmental regulations, etc etc forever. buuuuuut the democrat boogeyman is like, also bad.”

if you genuinely believe the actions of democrats and republicans are the same you should probably start reading the news.

[disgusting-enby]

That argument literally only works if I was considering voting for Trump lmao. Flipping the script makes no sense bc the context is not the same. Yes, Trump is bad. Yes, Biden is just as bad—he just pretends to be center-left so he doesn’t have to deal with opposition from centrists & libs like you.

While you’re reAdiNg tHe NeWs, read about how Obama-Biden deported, killed & caged more children than any administration before them. Biden was pro-Iraq invasion. He refuses to commit to decriminalizing marijuana, which Black people are serving life sentences for, & he supports adding additional funding to overfunded police. He wrote the ‘94 crime bill & was pro-mass incarceration / pro-dehumanizing Black “criminals” as thugs that are beyond rehabilitation & thus need to be “removed from society.” He outright refused to address the source of “criminality,” which is poverty, desperation, abuse & systematic racism in the justice system. The video can be found here: https://twitter.com/nudiustertian2/status/1292357510729469953?s=21

Biden voted for Scalia & demeaned Anita Hill, literal victim of sexual harassment, in front of the world— which paved the way for Clarence Thomas to join the SC. He called a Black reporter a “junkie” on air, said that if Black voters don’t give him their vote they “aint Black,” & said the Black community “isn’t as diverse” as the Latino community—which doesn’t make sense for a myriad of reasons, the first of which is that there are literally Afro-Latinos. He pet a disabled person’s face like a dog for a photo op.

I know it’s easier & less distressing to pretend that Democrats are leftwing or progressive or liberal, but keeping your head buried in the sand helps absolutely no one—least of all marginalized people. The fact that staunch Republicans like the fucking Lincoln Project support Biden should really tell you everything you need to know.

Joe Biden conned you fucks into ignoring that he’s a far-right handsy racist with a political track record of actively harming the most vulnerable among us & all he had to do was call himself Democrat.

i told my family about the rabbinic definition of a “wall” as “a barrier that impedes the passage of goats” and my mother was so delighted by this that weeks later she showed me a photo of a baby goat squeezing itself under a gate and was like “this is NOT a wall!” 

[gallusrostromegalus]

@creekfiend 

[radical-awe]

If the baby goat had to squeeze through, that may suffice? Impeding can mean slowing down or delaying or making more difficult, so if the gate posed enough of a challege, it may be a wall.

[kuttithevangu]

A wall that does not stop goats is not a kosher wall but the rabbis, IMO, define it too narrowly, as they say a wall two handsbreadths off the ground will stop a goat and admittedly I have kind of big hands but I’ve seen goats get through a smaller space than that on many occasions

[glumshoe]

My neighbor has a goat farm with a cattle grid instead of a gate on his driveway. It seems to contain them, to my surprise. Does a cattle grid count as a “barrier”, and if so, could a goat-stopping cattle grid be considered a wall?

[kuttithevangu]

If it doesn’t stop a goat it’s not a wall, but if it does stop a goat it isn’t necessarily a wall

[normal-horoscopes]

BEHOLD A WALL

[aromancy]

That’s not a barrier, Diogenes

[normal-horoscopes]

OH YEAH PLATO? TRY AND GET PAST ME

[aromancy]

I don’t need to. My goat army does.

I fucking love tumblr

[dog-teeth]

having fat on your tummy is good, actually. not just normal, not just natural, its good. sick to death of flat stomachs being seen as the universal ideal when its not even achievable or healthy for most people. literally if your tummy sticks out thats a good thing.

fatphobes i will block you without hesitation so dont even try interacting

very fucking tired of female characters having to be younger and smaller than their male counterparts

[ziggbot]

also very fucking tired of female space marines, warriors, and knights having no muscles whatsoever compared to their ripped, beefy male counterparts.

[johanirae]

also very fucking tired of female characters being introduced as qualified professionals but never get a chance to show their abilities

[alteridemlynch]

also very fucking tired of female characters who are taller, bigger, bulkier, etc. not being considered attractive

[makeitrainsugar]

fatigued at the young, inexperienced white male protagonist one-upping the ‘uptight but hot’ female at something she’s apparently trained at for years

hell? this is hell? hell? is that what this is? hell?

It’s so hilarious that Endgame was supposedly the greatest event in cinematic history and less than a year later nobody talks about it ever and if it’s brought up again the collective response is just “oh right”
