The world leaders are idiots for even entertaining Trumps Greenland fantasy. The USA already has pretty much everything they want in terms of possibilities for defense in Greenland. They want the resources. If they want the resources, Greenland should make a trade deal, not give the USA the right to steal their resources.

Quote:"I listen to a lot of Harry Potter these days," Wong mused, referring to JK Rowling's famous book series.
Quote:"Can I say one thing before we end?" she began. "This theme of what happens when hatred turns into violence is such an important theme in our film.
"I will not be able to sleep tonight if I do not say, because we mentioned Harry Potter, that trans rights are human rights. I just wanted to say that."
Yet she supported that TERF BITCH JOANNE  Ree's gonna cancel her, right? Also, thought B-Dumbs said no Wizard threads?

What was that comment about OF?
Very confused why she is not being canceled for consuming Harry Potter media and even essentially promoting it. Does she have a Wizarding World pass?
Wong and Tran are different people.

Haha, I hope Era has a rubber room ready between the updated audiobook readings with a ton of famous people and the new HBO show HP is going nowhere. In fact, you have a whole new gen to sell to.
In Vancouver over Christmas, they had a Harry Potter forest experience, of course, the usual suspects said it was transphobic and should be banned, that nobody is interested in it. Not in Vancouver.
Result? It was outrageously successful, so much so that they extended the experience until February.
I notice that many of these types no longer try to go at JK Rowling anymore, she beat them with logic, facts, and more importantly, kindness. All they had for her was vile death threats and crying.

Inflammatory? Because he said, "zionist doctrine of landgrabbing." Oh it's a Junior Account. Only when you have a senior account you can be an anti-semite. So silly of me to forget the rules.

So, like my grandmothers knitting bag?
kinda reminds me of the hipster PDA from 100 years ago. it was just a stack of index cards.

I don't remember what we talked about (I guess we ended things), but I sent him a friendly message 2 weeks later and of course, he didn't respond.
Then out of fucking no where, last night at 1am, he texts me: "sorry if this is random af. I just wanted to say I miss you and hope you're doing well. Honestly"
Bruh. lol. What???
I haven't thought about him in forever. It is extremely random but whatever. I don't plan on responding (for several reasons) but I thought that was just so weird.
Anyone else ever have someone reach out to them like that? And did you respond or just ignore?

To the poster above that said that "now there's no room for doubt," the reason there was ever doubt about cop killings of Black people to begin with is because America fundamentally doesn't trust Black people, for anything: in interactions with police, in interactions with healthcare professionals, in interactions with the government, in interactions with the bank, in interactions at the traffic light, in interactions with any of y'all at the beach, the park, the store, our own homes and neighborhoods. Nothing.
I'm not saying Renee and Alex deserved to die. The videos are harrowing, especially when you take into account the fact that neither of them truly had any idea that they were in their last moments, that in that moment they truly expendable, a mere opportunity for some small man to finally reaffirm their masculinity and fantasy by experiencing the thrill of dishing out violence, of killing another human being, someone's family member. They were there one moment and then wrenched away by some pig the next. It's despicable.
I'm saying that to sit here and say that whiteness was not the most glaring factor here in the response to the sudden swell of support for ICE's abolishment, why you know Renee and Alex's names compared to every other Black and Browm person ICE has killed- tells me you all truly still do not understand or are even still in active denial of the fact- even with fucking Nazis marching down the streets in broad daylight- that the major political and cultural pillar of this country is white supremacy. They killed some of y'all own, treated them like dogs, and that's intolerable, unfathomable, a bridge too far. Because they were true humans. Full humans. Now something must be done.
Don't play in Black people's faces like that. Or at least, don't play in mine. Again, Nazis marching in the streets and y'all haven't grown, haven't truly figured this shit out yet. Like y'all still think you ever lived in a country of laws, of civility, of hope, that Trump took away from you, and not a fucking white capitalist outpost established across the Atlantic because it makes it easier to hoard wealth and avoid the troubles of barbaric European infighting.
The point of this country's existence was literally always brutal hierarchy under delusional white men, and white individuals who stepped too far out of line in protest of this delusion were always ripe for extermination. But folks didn't care. The benefits selfishly outweighed the inhumanity, like Cowslip's warren. Unparalleled opulence at the expense of Black peoples colonialism. Unrivaled economic and social stability, so long as no one ever said anything about all the bombings and kidnappings and rapes and coups. America was always the Land of the Free, at gunpoint.
That is a big ass leap of logic.
Honestly, I think they were probably the kind of people that would have agreed with ERA moaning that it needed two white people getting shoot to make the general population be more mad about ICE… at the same time, I feel that is better for everyone to not going full Nepenthe and lament that dead white people are the center of attention.

I mean, it's boring picking on Nepenthe at this point, but the whole thesis of her message falls apart when you consider that poeple are still saying "well, Renee Good was peeling out with cops standing in front of her car...what did she expect?" or "Alex Pretti was locked and loaded at the protest...you're saying he was there just to take pictures?"
Nepenthe is asserting that Good and Pretti's innocence is automatically presumed because they're white (which wouldn't happen if they had been black), but this is pretty verifiably not true. If anything I think both of them are pretty analogous to many killed-by-cop stories involving black victims: "but why did they...how'd they get there...what's their background...." etc. etc.
