today is the only day you can post this

A classic Tumblr post: 

Kim-Jong-Chill: "I need feminism because when Jesus does a magic trick it's a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake." 

Mattheuponium: "fabulous" 

Tockthewatchdog: "I mean they did also kill Jesus. That was a pretty significant thing that happened. Like, I understand where you're coming from here but they very much did kill Jesus."

I think the reviving of union power has them scared shitless and AI is a near religious belief that computers will save them from unions

the thing about the vances, the hawleys, the cottons and the desantises is that they all have loser energy, meaning they all have politics that seem to emerge from deep seated feelings of social inadequacy and resentment toward people with the status they crave

A friend's daughter wants to learn sewing and my friend is struggling financially and can't afford a machine. I checked at BPL [they live in BK] and of course with a library card you can check out a sewing machine. www.bklynlibrary.org/library-of-t...

is journalism actually dying or is it being aggressively murdered by the dullest minds and deepest pockets in business

There is just no getting around this bit from the latest Chotiner interview. Doctors Without Borders has never seen this before: the number of civilian casualties, the inescapability of death, the fact that everyone knows what is happening BUT IT DOESN'T STOP.

Doctors Without Borders has been present in a lot of horrific conflict zones, & I'm wondering how what you're dealing with now is similar or different from other places you have experienced?

It's different. And yes, I have worked in conflict zones & they're always very nasty. But this is a particularly brutal thing because of the huge number of civilian casualties. And they can't escape it. They can't move. They're told to displace down south. But are we talking about just reducing the area from forty-five kilometres to twenty kilometres in length and trying to put two million people in there, which is ... It's just an extraordinary situation. And no, I haven't seen it.

They haven't stopped bombing. They're still bombing. They've got troops in there with tanks. And it's just consistent. It's well documented. We are seeing it all over the world in all the newspapers and television. So it's like people know exactly what's happening. And yet it doesn't stop. I haven't seen that before.
