Wonder how long before the Israeli media tries to claim that these folks were affiliated with Hanas.

Snarky comments aside, I legitimately never thought I would live long enough to see folks unironically defend a genocide with sadistic glee.

Like I said before, it’s kind of shocking how folks who are usually pretty liberal when it comes to most political issues are going full mask off right now.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s obvious that a lot of these folks always had fucked up beliefs, but the difference between then and now is that they aren’t scared of not saying the quiet parts out loud anymore.

It’s legitimately scary being an Arab right now, watching anti Arab racism become normalized in the news and social media fills me with a sense of dread.

Because I just know that a lot of western countries are going to start passing racist anti Arab discrimination laws and labeling anyone who doesn’t comply a terrorist.

Hell, voicing your support for Palestine in public is now a punishable offense in a lot of western countries.

The future is fucking bleak, but please don’t stop talking about Palestine.

Yeah, the Knuckles series would have been a hell of a lot better if it was actually about Knuckles. But instead someone over at Paramount thought it would be a great idea to center the whole thing around Wade. You know, the annoying comic relief guy who barely had any screen time in the movies?

Such a waste of potential.

Watching all these college students stand up to fascist cops is truly inspiring.

As a millennial, I get why folks who are around my age would want to roll their eyes at the newer generation.

But I feel like this generation is well aware of the fact that their government is feeding them absolute garbage when it comes to what’s happening in Palestine.

They see right through the bullshit and they’re like “Fuck you, we’re not going to stay quiet about this.”

Finding out that the Knuckles series is just a six hour long Doritos commercial had me howling with laughter.

This is what the modern internet has become, a rancid cesspool where troglodytes wish ill upon anyone who works on anything that they hate.

And the fact that this type of deranged behavior is being normalized is fucking horrifying.

As an Arab who has been talking about what’s been happening in Palestine since October, it’s infuriating watching other Arabs pretend like any of our governments have done fuck all to end this genocide.

You’ll see various Arab politicians condemn Israel, but they’re not going to do anything that’s actually helpful. Because fuck forbid we end up alienating the US government by pushing for a ceasefire, am I right?

Don’t sit there and try to lecture me on “Arab solidarity” when you’ve done fuck all to help out in any meaningful way.

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

Considering how the Israeli government have done all they can to make sure that Palestinians aren’t able to access the internet, it’s a legitimate miracle that the rest of the world is even aware of what is currently happening in Palestine.

I wasn't going to address this, because every time I criticize Brandon Rogers for saying something stupid at a con I get a couple of hardcore fans yelling at me in the replies and reblogs. But I decided to make an exception because this is sad even for him.

No, I don't have a problem with the joke itself. Trust me, as someone who is old enough to remember Rogers' old Vine skits, this joke is pretty tame compared to his older stuff.

The issue here is that he's clearly throwing Octavia under the bus because the character isn't well liked among the hardcore Stolitz fans. As a lot of them hate her for getting in the way of their precious ship.

Now, I'm not the type of person who gets involved in shipping discourse (Because it's stupid) but I find it funny how Rogers is trying to score brownie points with the Stolitz crowd. Because fuck forbid anybody who works on this show not validate the fandbase's toxic behavior when it comes to shipping, am I right?

It's annoying how Viv and her inner circle will constantly defend Stolitz against criticism, but they'll throw every other character and ship under the bus.

I guarantee you that if you went up to Viv or Brandon at a con and said that you liked a ship or character that they disliked, they would spend the rest of the con side eyeing you.

Props to the writers for finding a way of making Nathan's reunion with Cyclops and Jean just as heart wrenching as his reunion with his mother.

Rogue really said "Oh, you're not willing to help out? Well then, have fun looking for your shield in the mountains, bitch!"

Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t the US government always cracked down on leftist protests? I remember watching a documentary about the Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011 and I was genuinely shocked at how violent the NYPD were when it came to dealing with protesters.

I didn’t pay much attention to those protests at the time, but looking back at them now, they kind of feel like an eerie glimpse into what the political and social landscape would become.

Still, it is pretty fucked up how these colleges are cracking down on any Pro Palestine speech on campus. Seriously, the fact that the police are being called in to arrest students who are just sitting onside in tents is straight up draconian.

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

If you have to ask why the western media would run with a story that paints Pro Palestine supporters as “violent thugs” then you already know the answer.

They can implement this garbage in a short amount of time, but the concept of a chronological Instagram feed is foreign to them.

I’m getting so sick and fucking tired of AI bros ruining everything.

Thinking that any of the "serious" scenes in the Deadpool movies come close to carrying the same emotional weight as the average episode of X-Men 97 is certainly a take.

[thowawayuntilfurthernotice]

If you had told me seven years ago that a revival of the 90's X-Men cartoon would manage to tell a more mature story than a live action Deadpool and Wolverine movie, I would have nodded and said "Yeah, sounds about right."

Hate that I even have to stare this, but please stop arguing with Zionists in the comments and reblogs, it’s a waste of time. Nothing you say or do will get them to change their opinions, just block them and move on.
