Ram Ranch isn’t a real place. There was never a real life incident where the marines caused problems, because as fun as Ram Ranch would be, you’ll have to go elsewhere to find your 18 naked cowboys with their hard throbbing cocks to enjoy group showers with.

Season 4 SpongeBob hollowed out the characters. Anything after the movie turns the characters into caricatures. Squidward is just there as a punching bag, SpongeBob is obnoxious, Patrick is just dumb, Sandy is just a scientist.

I remember watching that Karate Island episode when it came out as a kid and realizing that SpongeBob was over.

One time I used the Farming mod and Fliggs Slave mod to buy out every plantation in the Ascadian Isles. I had an empire with hundreds of Khajiit and Argonian slaves, which enabled my Princess (mod, alternative start where you are Helseth’s illegitimate child) to live a life of luxury. Thousands of septims on imported fancy dresses (mods lol), luxury houses, it was glorious.

Racism in Oblivion is child’s play. Morrowind had full on race based slavery.

There’s a quest where slavers/drug smugglers ask you to escort a Khajiit slave who has been forced to swallow a bunch of moon sugar. If you choose to complete the task, they’ll just kill her when she arrives to get the drugs.

There’s a couple quests where you can also return freed slaves back to their owners.

Funnily enough, even you play as a Dunmer lots of the Dunmer will still hate you because you have some kind of imperial accent.

Playing Telvanni can have you putting down slave rebellions.

The main antagonist of the game literally wants to create his own ethnostate.

Weinstein? Diddy? Epstein?

All three of those examples got away with it for literal decades.

Both Weinstein and Diddy were known dangers in their industry.

They took Epstein out because you know he had compromat on Trump. Best friends.

Or - the Cosby shit was an open secret. No one cared until Hannibal Buress started pointing it out.

 

Admittedly, Arena mostly plays like a Daggerfall beta. But still exciting!

I thought it was “my body my choice”?

I want a COVID shot.

I love the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ. Don’t know if there’s a movie of it.

“These stupid primitives that we’ve denied sovereignty and exploited couldn’t possibly beat us with anti aircraft weapons!”

Fuck all colonizers. Fuck the U.S. for getting involved after the Vietnamese thoroughly said, “no, we want to rule ourselves.”

OpenSciEd is a model that teaches science like that. There’s been a ton of pushback from conservatives.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A sheriff in southeast Oklahoma who was among several county officials caught on tape discussing killing journalists and lynching Black people won’t face criminal charges or be removed from office, the state’s top prosecutor said Friday.

In a letter to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, Attorney General Gentner Drummond said his office and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation had completed their investigation and found no legal grounds to dismiss McCurtain County Sheriff Kevin Clardy.

“There are countless examples of incidents from across the country where public officials make inflammatory comments that spark severe condemnation,” Drummond wrote. “Oftentimes the offending official resigns in disgrace. Sometimes the outrage fades and the matter is forgotten.

He added: “Regardless, there is no provision of law in Oklahoma to throw elected officials out of office merely for saying something offensive.”

The comments in question:

Earlier that day, Willingham's son, Christopher Lee Willingham, who is also a reporter at the newspaper, had filed a lawsuit against Clardy, Manning and the commissioners in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma seeking unspecified damages. He claimed they were punishing him for his hard-hitting reporting by spreading "slander" about him.

When Willingham retrieved the device, he discovered that the conversation began with a grisly conversation about a fire victim being compared to "barbecue" before the group turned to talking about his son.

"My papaw would have whipped his ass, would have wiped him and used him for toilet paper," Manning said of the younger Willingham, according to the newspaper. "If my daddy hadn't been run over by a vehicle, he would have been down there."

Jennings then piped in, saying "I know where two big, deep holes are here if you ever need them."

"I've got an excavator," Clardy chimed in, according to the newspaper.

Jennings, according to the newspaper, then said he knew "two or three hit men" who belong to the Louisiana mafia.

 

I think this will coincide with the military parade in June.

Doing something like this would probably trigger riots, which would be the excuse to declare martial law and solidify the authoritarian coup.

I’m pretty sure this is the endgame move.

 

This is a passage from Andrea Dworkin’s Woman Hating.

Essentially what happened was that Mary Daly and Janice Raymond realized that they’d get a lot more attention if they teamed up with conservatives. Mary Daly was a weird theologian who wrote woowoo “divine feminine” goddess shit. Raymond was especially vicious and nasty, and closed down places that were doing GRS in the 70’s.

There seems to be a pattern here - I’d connect Raymond’s action to the “backlash” era of the 80’s. When feminism seems to be getting powerful enough, bad faith actors swoop in to distract by trying to hijack the movement into transphobia.

It’s always been a front. It’s amazing how many TERFs claim they love Dworkin, but are unaware of this passage.

 

We’ve got “DIDDY FREE,” “Gas Chambers,” “WW3.”
