How about we decolonize Constantinople first? Too much? Fine, how about a land acknowledgment?

Turkey should give Byzantines their tribal land back. And let them build casinos on the reservation like God intended.

The Buddhists, Hindus and latino Christians can't even have a single center of knowledge? Greedy muslims! 

Addis Ababa is predominantly Christian but based on the rest of the list, I assume she doesn't know that.

Listen I think we're all gonna regret making fun of this lady when Angel Reese's open casket funeral gets national news coverage.

Falling donation rates can probably be attributed to the smell in the clinic after that thing was in there.

It won't be after the Turks ethnically cleans it.

Yolocide

They're actually pretty close to "holocide" which, if you interpret it in the sense of a hologram, probably is a more accurate term than genocide.

New Brunswick Progressive Conservative MLA Bill Oliver reads AI prompt without realizing it

It shouldn’t need reminding this country has an awful history of Black people being harmed, even killed, in the name of “defending” white women. The WNBA's All-Star Game this weekend is in Chicago, Emmett Till's hometown, and a local art gallery is currently hosting an exhibit imagining his life if he hadn't been lynched. While it’s incumbent on the WNBA to do more to protect its players, there also should be an expectation on Clark to recognize the wider consequences of her actions.

Do y'all think Clark said, "Thanks, Obama"?

It’s always odd when there are stock defenses like the “vulnerable” line. But I see it has been downgraded from the previous “the most vulnerable people in society”. Progress?

Thank you, Palestine, for knocking them down a peg.

Good luck trying to pick a fight with Black Democrats, Mehdi.

They just want to pee.

Never sure what the intent is of threatening to kill all Terfs. We all know you're not going to do it, so it's not scaring anyone off and it makes you just look insanely unhinged and unstable. If Terfs went on the street holding up signs about how they want to gas all Trans women, people would lose their minds and you'd have government emergency meetings

He’s the author of “Win Every Argument”, chud. Not “Amicably Resolve the Occasional Disagreement”.

Maybe he actually believes his more moderate/establishment Democrat positions are best? And that's also why he saved Biden to help defeat Bernie?

No, it must be the $172K in pro-Israel money over his 33 years in Congress. Which wouldn't even be 10% of what he's raised just this year.

Cross posting because I couldn't decide between dumb news and culture wars.


Publication which encourages its readers to behave in a way which sucks the joy out of life unironically posts an article asking why life is so joyless...

Can't make this shit up!

Why does everything feel so joyless? Welcome to the age of decadence without pleasure
