What I love about the contrast of Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed is that they are the exact thing each of their community needs.

Rough, dirty, brusque “I’m walkin’ here!” New York lives under the red-bottomed heel of America’s coldest, wealthiest and most indifferent elites. They need a gentle, friendly guy who shows up and treats every problem New Yorkers face as important and worthy of a solution.

Midwestern Nice, blue collar Michigan has been living in the hollow shell of its once industrial titan of a state, making do and not waves over the way they were abandoned by the automotive industry. They need a tough as nails hard ass who’s willing to put his foot up the ass of anyone keeping Michiganders down.

Their goals are the same but their approaches have to be different because the culture and history of their communities are not the same.

I started saying “You think you fell out of a coconut tree?” As a joke…

but bro… I don’t think it’s a joke anymore.

Because we really do exist in the context of all in which we live and what came before us.

America is not a monolith and the most successful leadership will come from the people who embrace that.

I just saw a post where someone said Lucy x Maximus is boring because they have zero chemistry and no "palpable tension" like Lucy and Cooper do. I need this person to understand that, unlike Cooper, Maximus did not torture Lucy and sell her to organ harvesters in Season 1.

Cultural Appropriation is a major part of the Klingon empire building strategy and exercise of soft power- although they’d never admit anything they do is “soft”.

Because what do you mean “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is a Klingon warrior song?

What do you mean “You haven’t experienced Shakespeare until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.”?!

Guinan gives Worf one glass of prune juice and it’s a “warriors drink.”

Even though she definitely gave him that because he was probably too embarrassed to go to sickbay for constipation. I mean it is very humbling to loose the battle against your own colon but still…

But it’s super funny the way they present it so casually and how people just kind of accept it?

Klingons like a thing and go “well this is Klingon obviously…”

And everyone is just like “Sure. Help yourself.”

the average red state is closer to Sharia Law than Zohran’s NYC

a little obsessed with the story of how giacomo casanova was sharing a gondola with this random guy who suddenly started having a seizure, and casanova had some medical training so he stabilized the guy until the guy’s physician could be called. and then the physician bled the guy and put mercury ointment on him, which caused everything to get worse to the point that a priest was called to administer the guy’s last rites, but then casanova stepped in and washed off the mercury ointment despite the doctor yelling at him not to. and the guy recovered and turned out to be super rich and powerful and in gratitude bankrolled casanova’s debauchery for years until casanova got himself sentenced to five years in jail for blasphemy. also at one point he got shot through the hand in a duel and doctors wanted to amputate it but he said no it’ll be fine and it Was

[romanceyourdemons]

so what i’m saying is a medical procedural show where the main character is giacomo casanova and he doesn’t want to be solving these medical mysteries but goddamn if he isn’t the only fucker in this room who knows how to not kill the patient. so i guess my date with this prussian chick will just have to wait

this pitch would have absolutely killed at the bbc between 1991 and 2005 btw

before trump and the creation of ANTIFA as a boogeyman, the fbi listed animal liberation and 'eco-terrorism' as the number 1 domestic terror threat.

“This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it was written by a preteen, and most of such things posted publicly are fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it has a focus on character and relationships, like the style of a lot of modern fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it keeps referencing people and events with the assumption that the audience is already familiar with them, like how fanfic doesn’t need to rehash the source material)”

[pomrania]

Some further suggestions from the notes:

“This reads like fanfiction (it’s a love story for the ages as long as you can overlook that the author keeps misspelling ‘you're’)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (you can tell the author was having a blast writing this and now so do you reading it)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the author is clearly info-dumping about a very niche hobby of theirs that they’re passionate about)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the characters keep getting put in increasingly weirder situations which you’d normally only find in fanfic)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (the author felt the need to rehash the characters from when they were first introduced instead of after several years’ worth of character growth)” vs “This reads like fanfiction (it feels like it had no editor)”

The best part is that OP made a "today I fucked up" thread about it and...:

[ruixrose]

I’m not saying op’s dad fucked David Bowie. But I will say that op’s dad will not deny having fucked David Bowie even if he really didn’t. Like who would deny that? It’s David Bowie.

Clearly Rick Gamboa never put an underripe banana in a paper bag with an apple to get it to ripen faster.

"I want children to suffer" is the ultimate flex by red-pilled conservative anti-feminist dorks who are equally racist when screeching about birth rates dropping.

I learned in my political science class that all major famines in the 20th century and onward have been caused by oppressive groups or political situations restricting access to food, NOT natural causes like crop failure

[dragons-and-pandas]

This is literally the point that Indian economist Amartya Sen made that won him the Nobel prize in economics. As a child, he survived one of the several Bengal famines that were organised by the British colonisers in India. He developed his theory on famines, which is that they were more about distribution of food rather than production or availability of it

[o0katiekins0o]

I think it’s interesting we don’t call the Dust Bowl a famine. That is probably down to the whole American exceptionalism thing. We’re not allowed to talk about how this country uses hunger as a cudgel to beat us.

As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."

Fuck her.

Your shitty children's series isn't more important than people's lives.

[official-anti-jkr-posts]

This would be equally as shitty if the woman who was misgendered and insulted was trans instead of having PCOS btw

This is an official anti-JKR post

[butcherrypie]

I think its pretty fucked up she's recording calls to a rape helpline tbh

[o0katiekins0o]

It’s being discussed in the medical community whether PCOS should be classified as a hormonally intersex condition. But no one who is as weird about trans people as Rowling could ever be trusted with the safety of intersex people.
