this kind of shit--"parent's rights" to abuse and control their children--is why youth liberation and trans liberation are and must be intertwined movements [x]

"violence is never justified under any circumstances" types when you tell them that they have already implicitly accepted that violence is sometimes justified by expressing ambivalence if not outright allegiance to capitalist politicians and systems of governance. you have already accepted that violence, under certain circumstances, is at least tolerable if not entirely reasonable and necessary, and you assert that all the time. you have already decided what sort of violence is okay to you

We've only had two real poster presidents, Obama was our first, Trump our second. Bush Jr was the furthest thing from a posting president we've had since Ford, his dad had more of a poster's soul than him, Kamala & Joe both exclusively post for career purposes which does not count, Bill is probably in 20 year old women's IG replies on a burner but that's just speculation. Reagan is a non-starter, even if he'd lived to be 120 years old he'd just have traveled a circuit of televangelist churches, AM radio stations, & MIC conferences up to the present day. Carter probably follows his great great great grandchildren on instagram and has posted all caps comments under their wedding photos but again this is just speculation. No I'm not going to do any research for this post, I'm painting the light ok? For our confirmed posting presidents I wouldn't call either of them terrible at it in the way someone like Elon is or inept at it the way someone like Dean Norris(SEX GIFS) is but I would argue Obama's posting has been more pathetic. During his presidency Obama was purely a career poster but post-presidency he's turned himself into a celebrity & that's because that's who he holds the most respect for, it's why he does these netflix shows and puts out his music list every year and hangs out at parties with famous actors constantly, it's why he has been so inactive politically, he never gave a shit about any of that he just wanted people on TV to like him which they always have and he's living the life of a god now but that means there's zero friction in his life and his posting sucks because of it, it's textureless slop. Trump also respects and wants to hang out with all the same famous people but they all hate him and he resents them for it and that's fueled his posting for a long time. I think Trump's posting has been at its best when he's upset with someone famous he's been to the same parties as for 30 years and is at its worst when he's getting fellated by all the right wing ghost goblins and ghouls of America. Anyway my point is if the internet had been around in the 60's JFK & Nixon would have identical posting dynamics to Obama & Trump, also LBJ would have posted his cock and balls online and died before anyone had a chance to find out if it was an accident.

Partied too hard

everyone on here who openly indicates that they're a tumblr [ex-]employee is so tedious and wretched

I have no sympathy for them as a tech worker myself—I would never, ever run around doing unpaid "nuanced" PR for my current employer the way these people do

I really do not like seeing america creating hoaxes about iran or north korea or russia potentially nuking them when it is the only country in the world to have dropped the atomic bomb

The superman film (it’s good go see it) has brought back the discourse of if some guy got these powers would they be superman or [insert evil superman here] and maybe it’s my own self esteem and fanboyism but I truly feel like most people with these powers would turn into a version of David eidolon

[esme-yaleal]

the worst part sbout worm not goingg mainstream is that david eidolon is an INFINITELY more interesting deconstruction of superman than homelander. its not even close gang, its really not

insteadof getting tons of media about not trying to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders we get 10 pikmillion shitty comics and shows about big cape boy does 9/11

Saying "this picture is mine, it's immoral to right-click and save it" in 2021: rightfully and universally mocked; it's ridiculous for these NFT cranks to claim they can exclusively own some ugly ape pictures

Saying "this picture is mine, it's immoral to right-click and save it" in 2025: somehow considered a principled defense against the foul depredations of AI; intellectual property is sacrosanct and you mustn't do anything with an image that wasn't approved by its owner

It's so fucking depraved that we're at a point where we are screaming for food and aid to be let in because let me remind you, the airstrikes are still ongoing. But stopping the bombardments has taken a backseat in lieu of trying to stop the starvation. Israel moved the goalpost from "Stop killing Palestinians" to "Stop killing Palestinians through starvation" and maybe this was their aim all along. They somehow turned the ceasefire into the less urgent demand.

Israel could continue with its genocide all while gaining back the favour of the western world that's looking for the tiniest shred of decency possible in order to try and frame Israel as the beacon of morality in the middle east like they used to do, but Israel is refusing because torturing Palestinians in one of the most inhumane ways possible is more important for them than salvaging their image.

it's genuinely hilarious when TME people's discussions on transmisogyny revolve exclusively around people's perception of individuals' gender identities rather than y'know the institutional systematic violence that punishes & oppresses all trans women regardless of whether they are being read as men or women in their day to day lives.
