If I laid out all the ways the U.S. government violates its citizens in the same manner that Nick Shirley describes Cuba, half the MAGA right would call for an invasion and liberation of the U.S.

@mattvanswol Your takeaway from a massive organized protest, literally enshrined in our Constitution, with nearly a million people attending is that it was despicable because your kids school was cancelled? Not, maybe, “Wow what would these million people be so upset about?” No?

Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today... Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students... ...INCLUDING MY SON!!! To wave signs around in the street instead. The signs vary from: a) F**K ICE!!! b) Defeat Trump's Agenda c) Trump is a N*ZI d) ICE OUT!!! e) Protect trans kids f) Refuse fascism g) Stop bombing schools DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS. IT NEVER WAS. This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like. That is despicable. You know better... DO BETTER.

@KirillChernysh6 @WillManidis Quoted pictures talk about ai water usage, OP claims “ai water libel” is widespread, my post refutes it being a libel. I never inferred an argument nor claimed victory.

@HeptaKnob @WillManidis it’s really cool how you’re pretending he said something totally different, defeating that imaginary argument that he never made, and then claiming victory. truly incredible

I don’t think any of you have processed at any level how widespread and profound the ai water libel is

@MythoMAGA “Mostly a nothing-burger” to include the rape of dozens of women, dozens of children, sex trafficking of hundreds of people, proven blackmail of dozens of past and present U.S. and world politicians, and manipulation of U.S. and foreign economic markets. You are an imbecile.

The “Epstein Files” created a new brand of schizo who, despite the files being released and being mostly a nothing-burger, still weren’t satisfied. They will continue to chant “Epstein Files!” for the rest of their lives, like the people who still insist COVID never ended.

@Howlingmutant0 @MarcoFoster_ Funny thing is you could be talking about Erika Kirk or Jennifer Welch and no one would know the difference

@MarcoFoster_ Why anyone would want to listen to the shrill lamentations of this post menopausal gremlin is beyond me

Jennifer Welch to Erika Kirk: “You are the racist fascist about whom I am talking to. The work your husband’s company and that you are doing to America’s youth to make them racist, narrow-minded, hateful and batshit crazy is an absolute disgrace”

@charliebcurran I am genuinely above you as a human.

I used AI to turn the JP Morgan sex scandal into a 90s Wall Street thriller, with fruit.

@HollyTokess @psalmofdemiurge The confidence be so wrong, and rude too.

@psalmofdemiurge I was thinking about when they did it to soldier boy

All of these incredibly strong supes can’t cause any harm to Homelander… and then this random “deadly gases” guy shows up… burps in his face… and he’s passing out just like that?

Our federal-level law enforcement leaders are obsessed with posting 2018 era gotchas as if it doesn’t further degrade their reputation.

This new font update is abhorrent. Elon you have ruined yet another aspect of the internet.

Girl who’s done 27 photoshoots in swimwear and lingerie: god literally why do people keep talking about my body doesn’t it get to a point ? all i ate today was a brie sandwich

@reaccionapr @SecWar You guys are so gay lol

Head on a swivel, scanning for threats. @SecWar You can tell he’s furious.

On Twitter a rabbi can call an extensively documented genocide “fictional” but if you make jokes about Jews the cops show up at your door.

@Parodyjeffx Nowhere in this clips are those words used.

Trump says Congress is antisemitic and isn’t serving the Jews and Israel enough. This is insanity.

@Ron_Christian55 The chatGPT essay makes clear that you are a baby unable to cope with the fact that 1. It is just a tv show and 2. People will have different opinions than you. Someone is not irredeemable simply because they abort. And you willfully ignoring the context is hilariously idiotic.

I find it absolutely ironic that in a show that is supposedly about SUPERHEROES, about people who are meant to rise above normal human weakness and stand as symbols of hope, one of its central characters, Atom Eve, goes and has an abortion. And from everything that’s implied, that was Mark’s child. His kid. And he didn't even get a say. He was apparently… absent. And her response to that situation is basically, “Well, this is hard, so I’m just going to end it.” Let that sink in for a second. This is a character who is framed as compassionate, empathetic, morally grounded. A HERO. The kind of character we’re supposed to admire, look up to, maybe even feel inspired by. And yet when faced with the responsibility of protecting the most innocent, defenseless life imaginable—her own unborn child—she doesn’t rise to the occasion. She doesn’t fight through it. She doesn’t struggle and overcome. She doesn’t even try to embody that heroic ideal. She folds. Immediately. Because it’s difficult. Because she might have to do it alone. Because it would change her life. That’s it. That’s the line where her “heroism” just completely folds. And I’m supposed to sit here and accept that? I’m supposed to still see her as a hero after that? I’m supposed to root for her like nothing happened? No. Absolutely not. Because at that point, what even is the definition of a hero anymore? If someone who has the power to save lives on a massive scale can casually decide that the most vulnerable life imaginable isn’t worth protecting, then what are we even doing here? What’s the message? That heroism only applies when it’s convenient? That saving lives is optional depending on your personal circumstances? And before anyone jumps in with the usual defenses because I already know they’re coming...save it. I don’t care about the “context.” I don’t care about the “emotional complexity.” I don’t care about the essays explaining why it was “a deeply human decision” or “a realistic portrayal of struggle.” I’ve heard it all before. It’s the same recycled talking points every time something like this comes up. People bending over backwards, twisting themselves into knots, doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics just to justify something that completely undermines the very foundation of what these characters are supposed to represent. And that’s really the bigger issue here, isn’t it? This isn’t just about one character. This is about what modern “superhero” storytelling has become. Shows like Invincible don’t just tell stories—they go out of their way to tear down the idea of heroism itself. They take pride in it. They revel in it. There’s this smug, almost arrogant tone of “Look how mature we are because we’re deconstructing everything you used to love.” And what does that “deconstruction” look like? Ultra-violence. Endless gore. Heads exploding like water balloons. Limbs getting ripped off. Blood sprayed across the screen like it’s trying to win an award for how shocking it can be. And then on top of that, moral decisions that completely gut the idea of heroes being something aspirational. It’s like the show is actively allergic to sincerity. Like it can’t stand the idea of heroes being genuinely good, genuinely selfless, genuinely inspiring. Everything has to be twisted, darkened, or dragged through the mud in the name of being “realistic.” Being cynical doesn’t make something deep. Being brutal doesn’t make something meaningful. And tearing down ideals doesn’t make you smarter than the people who still believe in them. It just makes the whole thing feel hollow. And I look around and I still see people watching this. Still praising it. Still calling it “peak superhero storytelling.” And I honestly don’t get it. I really don’t. Why? What are you getting out of this? Is it the shock value? The gore? The constant subversion for the sake of subversion? The characters making decisions that completely contradict the idea of what a hero is supposed to be? Because from where I’m sitting, it just looks like people have been conditioned to accept this kind of thing as “normal” for the genre now. Like this is just what superheroes are supposed to be broken, compromised, morally inconsistent, and wrapped in layers of blood and cynicism. And if that’s the case, then yeah… I’ll pass. Go ahead. Defend it. I know some of you will. Go ahead and stutter through your explanations. Pull out the think pieces. Do your triple-axel somersaults of mental gymnastics to explain why this is actually brilliant, why it’s “nuanced,” why it’s “important storytelling.” Convince yourself that this is what heroism looks like now. But don’t expect me to buy into it. Because to me, this isn’t bold storytelling. It’s not deep. It’s not inspiring. It’s just another example of a genre losing sight of what made it worth caring about in the first place and expecting the audience to applaud while it happens.

@Fenrirtheicewo1 Holy idiotic cope to say the New Viltrumites are bad for bringing literal, meaningful peace to the galaxy. “Muh they’re stronger so it’s bad” are you fucking serious?

Thaedus was right, and the end of the comics proves it... Mark basically keeps the whole Viltrumite takeover thing under a different coat of paint... they may not kill, but they're still enforcing their stronger will on others to make them change.

Less of a backhand compliment and more of a right-hook pat myself on the back

@KirPinkFury Look at the liberals in my county dawg we’re never getting meaningful change

I might get hate for this but people who I have never interact with already block me so fuck it. People choosing that nose to make their Miis "prettier" is an example of ingrained racism.

If 300 members of Congress had Qatari (??) flags outside their offices then the entire Israeli hasbara network would burst blood vessels shrieking about it. Remember that they don’t care that we are noticing. They control it all, our outrage is funny to them.
