If Republicans in Congress can’t afford to feed their families on $174,000 a year. Then it’s time they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and got a second job. Isn’t that the bullshit, that they tell us?!

mamdani is the democrats’ worst nightmare because he’s living proof that they just aren’t doing their jobs

Garth Ennis is about as subtle as a baseball bat to the face, but he’s the personification of nuance next to Eric Kripke. The Black Noir twist in “The Boys” comic was brilliant, because it restated and served as the ultimate demonstration of the central thesis of the series, which was that everyone — Vought, the supes and the government — were all idiots wielding power they didn’t deserve and couldn’t use competently. It also worked, as many of Ennis’s “Boys” stories did, as a crass parody of a famous comic storyline: Bizarro Superman. Vought created Homelander, and then realized that they had no way to stop him if he turned against them, so they created a clone as a failsafe. Of course, it was the failsafe clone that was crazy and evil. Then, Butcher, filled with rage and vengeance after Noir raped his wife and caused her death, went after Homelander. Homelander believed he had done what Butcher accused him of, even though he couldn’t remember it, because he didn’t know Noir was a clone of him, and there were photos of Noir raping Butcher’s wife. The belief that he had done horrible things he could not remember drove Homelander crazy, and he ultimately became the villain Butcher had convinced him he was. The entire thing was a tragic misunderstanding brought about by Vought’s treachery and incompetence and Butcher’s self-annihilating quest for vengeance. And at the end of the story, everyone was dead, but Vought, having caused the entire catastrophe, was untouched and relieved of the problem of Homelander, who they’d wanted to be rid of for a long time. But this wasn’t satisfying to Eric Kripke, so Kripke decided to just turn Homelander into a superpowered version of what people who get their news from the Occupy Democrats Facebook page think Donald Trump is.

@ChrissieMayr Sorry you feel that way.

But yea, I “deserve” all the hate and vitriol.

@GuidoFawkes Nice try, Sinestro...!

Sam Carling is the youngest Labour MP to call for Keir Starmer to resign.

@ChrissieMayr I liked the bit where Amon Goeth asked what the oranges are for. 🍊🍊🍊

My husband knows me so well. After Sunday night after the show I was upset and came to bed. He said “I know what will make you feel better” He turned the TV on and put on Schindler’s List and I laughed so hard.

@MarkLazerus Good at curing insomnia.

Hot take: This show is good.

I’m tired of the haters. This is a good show!

Money well spent!

Palestinian victims: They rape us Video: Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian Israeli officials: Rape is legitimate B’Tselem: Pattern of sexual violence in Israeli prisons UN: Israel’s systematic use of sexual violence NYT: Palestinians are raped 🇮🇱: No evidence! BLOOD LIBEL

Israel’s efforts to influence the vote for the Eurovision Song Contest were broader and started years earlier than previously known, a New York Times investigation found. Here is the inside story of the controversy that almost broke Eurovision. nyti.ms/42ZR43z

"If anything changes, I will be forced to raise it by the exact amount I already will be" he said to the media.

@woke8yearold Are you fucking serious right now? nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Prior to ~2012 American culture was earnest in a way that zoomers would find incomprehensible. No irony, no one cared about being cringe. They were totally cool with being le epic bacon chungus. The webcomic Ctrl Alt Delete represents this era to me

Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel. The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.

@IsraelMFA @nytimes Imagine thinking "blood libel" actually means anything to someone who isn't fucked in the head.

Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press. In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel - whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse - is portrayed as the guilty party. This publication is no coincidence. It is part of a false and well-orchestrated anti-Israel campaign aimed at placing Israel on the UN Secretary-General’s blacklist. Israel will fight these lies with the truth - and the truth will prevail.

@TheCinesthetic The Battle of Hardhome (S05E08) was probably the last truly great episode of Game of Thrones.

Name a TV episode that felt like a movie masterpiece.

More people actually like (or at the very least, enjoy) the Sequel Trilogy than people online would probably have you believe.
