A useful word that isn’t used enough is “democide.” Democide is the mass murder of a demographic group who are not a racial or ethnic group (“genocide.”) So for example the mass murder of queer or disabled people is democide. It can be a helpful word to disambiguate when both are taking place.

Those of us who know how much money we have, who *have* to know how much we can spend, experience money in a categorically different way than the ultra-wealthy. They have a tool they can wield for any purpose, in the shape of money. All that matters is what they want to do with it.

Opinions on The Last Jedi continue to be an excellent single point metric for judging strangers on the internet. Anyone who expresses raw hatred for it invariably turns out to be a pretty not great human, usually either positively inclined towards fascism or actively involved in a fascist movement.

Biden isn't timid - he doesn't stop Netanyahu because he's in full alignment with him and completely committed to supporting the ongoing genocide. The red line nonsense is just bullshit for the base to keep up the laughable pretense that he's in any way opposed up the annihilation of Palestinians.

I hope to meet that consultant again in a follow-up dream. I have... questions.

That's a pretty badly screwed up amends on the part of the letter senders. The explicit wording of step 9 says to make amends to people one has harmed **except** when to do so would injure them or others.

Poilievre's not a pathological liar - he's a professional liar. He lies calmly, deliberately, and methodically in order to advance his career. If he had anything resembling a conscience he could stop at any time. But he doesn't, and so will continue.

The phrase "climate emergency" is becoming much more visceral to my privileged well off northern North American ass as I sit here beneath a 34+C heat dome that 12,000 BTU of air conditioning can only lower to 25C.
We need to start non-stop rioting to end fossil fuel use.

It’s truly weird how many Star Wars fans grew up to be adults incapable of even recognizing oppression much less doing anything to resist it.

Being opposed to the state of Israel committing genocide isn’t racism, my good dumbass. It’s the most basic moral test imaginable. One which you’ve flunked completely.

Thanks! I’m *extremely* glad to be wholly dissociated from the “reality” where people believe Israel is conducting itself in a morally defensible manner and are certain that Palestinians have brought this rampant slaughter on themselves and that it’s good to bomb hospitals and mass murder children.

Yes how "interesting" that Israel has been continuously slaughtering thousands upon thousands of women and children for eight months. Surely we can blame these deaths on "the Hamas run health ministry" somehow.

Actual moral: Don't slaughter 274 people to rescue 4.
Other actual moral: Accept the existing ceasefire deal that would have returned all hostages with zero further death.
Other other actual moral: Examine what went so badly wrong with your conscience that you posted what you posted.
