Me being gunned down in a New York speakeasy after Tony Pastroni found out I been sleepin with his girl
me at the cheese factory making the cheese
a lot of self professed socialists and left wing people have absolutely no consciousness on imperialism and when it comes down to it could easily be convinced of being fascists
seriously when the reaction to people making very realistic observations on how the structure of the global economy is unsustainable, especially for the first world, is “great way to make people support socialism by telling them their lives are gonna be worse under it”…
if you define quality of life and freedom in terms of access to cheap commodities and convenience at the cost of others, you might not be a socialist!!

Help me. I am a 8 year old boy living in the illegitimate Yankee Capitalist regime. President Xi, our shelves are empty and we are hungry. I am asking you to liberate my state of Connecticut with your Chengdu J-20 Stealth air superiority fighters and your Dongfeng 41 Missiles.
i googled this on a whim and the first thing i get is nyt race science
just as an FYI for those who don't know - the NYT publishes things that are lowkey eugenics and phrenology and race science CONSTANTLY. it flies under the radar except for journalism twitter calling them out but the NYT SUCKS. it is very hard to encourage people to find reliable sources online when the "reliable sources" like papers of record do shit like this, and the NYT is one of the WORST offenders.
this person can't be real 😭
Every time an usamerican say something like this i shoot a puppy. This person is responsible for the death of countless puppies.
I'm fucking livid about the safety rejections. Especially rejecting better protected rest periods??? Are you kidding me?!
I worked a show where our lead actor COLLAPSED from overwork. He had to be HOSPITALIZED. We had to shut down production for a month while he recovered! He had been working long days for 12 weeks straight with minimal rest.
KJ Apa from Riverdale worked a 16 hr day and fell asleep behind the wheel, resulting in a horrible car crash.
It's not uncommon in the tv/film industry to witness fellow cast and crew DIE OF HEART ATTACKS on set caused by stress and lack of sleep.
REJECTED??? Give us our fucking rest AMPTP! Why do you think my bio has been "Overworked film/tv crew plz let me sleep" for the last two years???
you really can’t critique American popular culture beyond the sheer existence of the term “Barbieheimer”. That’s something Vonnegut would have thrown out for being too on the nose, Gaddis would have used to make fun of him, and I guess all of us would quote to say “no come on that’s ridiculous, let people have fun smdh…”
We don’t talk enough about the two identical old women who just hang around Azula saying ominous shit in unison. What’s their deal. Is there a comic about them. Are they paid for their services
WHAT FUNCTION DO YOU SERVE IN THE GOVERNMENT
They serve cunt and omens. What more do you need?
honestly if someone says it's cool to steal from small businesses (it is) and you're like "but what about me :/ i'm a small business owner and i'm just one person selling handmade jewellery" then i think you should get the fuck over yourself and stop calling yourself a "small business owner" when what you own are your own two hands and your own labour. stop aspiring to be petty bourgeois! the entrepreneurial myth will not save you!
“You dumb leftists don’t understand that it’s actually good for workers in the global south to be shackled indefinitely to American consumption needs, because otherwise they’d be out of a job!”
yeah that's because of unchecked petty bourgeoisie individualist mentality and propaganda against actually existing socialism in imperial core leftist spaces lol
one of the most annoying habits of anarchists that i can't stand is the dilution to meaninglessness of the word 'cop'. cops are bad because they are armed men employed by the bourgeois state to guard private property against the proletariat. not because of Vibes. someone gatekeeping a music genre isn't a cop. someone holding you to standards, whether they're reasonable or unreasonable, isn't a cop. someone harassing you online (which, to be clear, is bad!) still isn't a cop. even the most cartoonist anarchist caricuate of a 'stalinist' who wants to gulag everyone they meet is not in fact a cop. anyone that isn't being paid to protect private ownership of capital through violence isn't a cop and calling them cops because you have terminal foucault poisoning is fundamentally corrosive to your ability to make real and serious material critiques of policing
had the wildest interaction today some random woman called me a slag and my dog a fucking faggot because I was using a pink lead/harness and he’s a boy like what the fuck lmfaoo
he did start wagging his tail when he got called a fag so good for him <3
imagine seeing this and being like oh my god oh my god i need to say a slur right now
A note to all creatives:
Right now, you have to be a team player. You cannot complain about AI being used to fuck over your industry and then turn around and use it on somebody else’s industry.
No AI book covers. No making funny little videos using deepfakes to make an actor say stuff they never did. No AI translation of your book. No AI audiobooks. No AI generated moodboards or fancasts or any of that shit. No feeding someone else’s unfinished work into Chat GPT “because you just want to know how it ends*” (what the fuck is wrong with you?). No playing around with AI generated 3D assets you can’t ascertain the origin of. None of it. And stop using AI filters on your selfies or ESPECIALLY using AI on somebody else’s photo or artwork.
We are at a crossroad and at a time of historically shitty conditions for working artists across ALL creative fields, and we gotta stick together. And you know what? Not only is standing up for other artists against exploitation and theft the morally correct thing to do, it’s also the professionally smartest thing to do, too. Because the corporations will fuck you over too, and then they do it’s your peers that will hold you up. And we have a long memory.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking “your peers” are only the people in your own industry. Writers can’t succeed without artists, editors, translators, etc making their books a reality. Illustrators depend on writers and editors for work. Video creators co-exist with voice actors and animators and people who do 3D rendering etc. If you piss off everyone else but the ones who do the exact same job you do, congratulations! You’ve just sunk your career.
Always remember: the artists who succeed in this career path, the ones who get hired or are sought after for commissions or collaboration, they aren’t the super talented “fuck you I got mine” types. They’re the one who show up to do the work and are easy to get along with.
And they especially are not scabs.
*that’s not even how it ends that’s a statistically likely and creatively boring way for it to end. Why would you even want to read that.
during the wga/sag-aftra strike, we may see:
- film in other countries continuing as usual, but those actors/writers are NOT crossing picket lines! other countries unions often have rules where they can’t strike in solidarity with american unions.
- new indie movies separate from hollywood studios. indie movies can continue as usual too, and may even use union actors if they follow certain guidelines and/or get permission from the union.
- awards shows, although they might look different and may be postponed. if there are award shows during the strike, there’s a chance they will just be live conferences announcing winners with no celebrations attached.
- celebrities will not be promoting their work during this time— that WOULD be crossing the picket line! yes, this includes social media. they can still post on social media, as long as it doesn’t pertain to their work.
- a lot more reality tv. this happened the last time there was a writers strike, and it will certainly happen again.
- actors will also not be able to campaign for awards. this awards season is going to be a strange one.
- propaganda from hollywood. they are already trying to flip the narrative by claiming they can break the unions, but they can’t. the strikers have the power. stand with them for however long this takes!
i don’t want to ever hear a single thing ever about threads. the next time i’m forced to learn information about this new facebook spyware it better be through a destiel meme informing me that it has gone under thank you
Real?
