European nobility desperately trying to assert the divine right of kings as another Habsburg baby pops out of the womb looking like Gary Busey dropped in a vat of acid:

Real talk I think a lottttttt of the ignorance around Jews/issues stems from the fact that people cannot wrap their heads around just how few Jews there are in the world and how literally connected a lot of us are.

"Why do you care so much if this celebrity is Jewish?"

Do you not realize that there are, generously, 16 million Jews in the world? That's my family right there. You saying that you wouldn't go wild if your cousin was starring in a movie?

While I'm defending American culture, y'all can never make me hate Fahrenheit. She's that girl. 0F is really fucking cold, 100F is really fucking hot, just like temperature is supposed to reflect. If Fahrenheit has no defenders, it means I'm dead.

There’s nothing wrong with being artistically inspired by a terrible person - but if you’re kissing their ass on stage and LIKING their pro-genocidal content…that’s another matter altogether

And then to have the GALL to be like “it’s hypocritical to ban russia” when you know full well that if russia were participating you wouldn’t give a flying solitary fuck

Hilarious to me that the eurovision winner is pro russia and yet people still prefer him (who personally supports genocide) over a woman who just happened to be born in israel and survive a masscare. Incredible

“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, bellend, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

Many things can be true at the same time

1) Tereshkova is a fucking piece of fascist shit

2) Her going into space was an impressive achievement

3) The Soviet space flight was JUST as much propaganda as this one. They chose five women to train, got one into space to claim the “first woman in space!” mantle, then completely shut women out of the cosmonaut program. None of the other women who trained alongside Tereshkova were ever selected for future missions, and they eventually retired when they realized they never would be.

btw the katy perry/bezos' girlfriend/other four irrelevant billionaires 10 minute space stunt was not the first all female expedition no matter how much they try to market it as such. the first all female mission was in 1963 with soviet cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova, Irina Solovyova and Valentina Ponomaryova - all three of which were working class and had to pass incredibly hard exams to be chosen from 400 potential candidates. just in case we started falling for the propaganda machine again

jd vance sold his soul a looong time ago when peter thiel took him under his wing and dumped money into making him in his image. he’s that sniveling, kiss-ass type of person who depends entirely on the noblesse oblige of a more powerful patron, and contorts themselves to stay in their good graces. frankly, there’s something particularly pathetic about basing your entire career on being, not a bully, but a bully’s henchman.

jd vance didn’t sell his soul in 2024 he sold his soul when he threw his entire family and community under the bus to impress his yale cronies and claw out a pathetic people pleaser space for him in higher society. he has no principles no loyalties no identity beyond doing the most to convince himself he’s worthy of any respect. when in reality. he is not. and he never has been.
