And this is just recently. They literally always showed up at peaceful events Black people organized and met them with violence. The major difference was that in 2020, everybody who was never there before began to see it on their internet while they were stuck in the house.
So, they took the previous notion of “we weren’t there, so we don’t know what really happened” and copped out with the idea that violence doesn’t help others stop being violent towards you…
TF. If they’re being violent, they deserve violent reactions and any other reaction is simply only going to last until they react even more violently. So fuck it, we rage.
i think something this thread is forgetting is that sometimes it wasn’t black people getting blamed but rather the specter of the “Outside Agitator” supposedly coming from other states (much the same that the city of Atlanta is trying to argue about over what’s happening at the Stop Cop City movement) and sometimes even of “White Anarchist” “disrupting” peaceful black protests; they divided radical parts of the protests using respectability politics and this definitely has to be part of the conversation.
Hiring managers acknowledge as much. In a survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers last summer, 27% reported having job postings up for more than four months. Among those who said they advertised job postings that they weren’t actively trying to fill, close to half said they kept the ads up to give the impression the company was growing, according to Clarify Capital, a small-business-loan provider behind the study. One-third of the managers who said they advertised jobs they weren’t trying to fill said they kept the listings up to placate overworked employees.
You’ve probably been in the position of sending out your resume far and wide, filling out zillions of applications, and going weeks or even months before even getting an answer. Well, turns out a lot of it’s because they’re not actually hiring anyone. It’s not just you.
Incredible new thing happening with Elon today: he fired a disabled Twitter engineer for prima facie discriminatory reasons, trashed talked the ex-employee on Twitter and then discoveredthis employee came to Twitter by way of an acquisition of that employee’s software start up and the sale contains a clause that if Twitter terminates his employment it has to pay him 100 million for the software he developed. The fact Elon Musk might have to personally sell of Tesla stock to meet this obligation has caused Tesla’s share price to dip yet again.
Also Musk deleted his tweet trashing the employee but it’s preserved and being reposted by multiple Twitter users, at least until Musk can figure out a way to nuke the screen grabs from orbit.
this dog walked on stage during a biden rally and joe had his campaign team bury and seal the dog underground with bricks. this is SO fucked up, are some of you really voting for this ‘nice guy’?
someone please tell me this is a joke. please tell me a dog wasn’t actually buried alive
it is true biden is a ruthless sicening monster who would stop at nothing to further his campaign
First of all Biden and the people who carried this out should be drawn and quartered
Second, how does this even further his campaign? What could he have possible gained from this?
Or is his mind even more deteriorated than we thought and he’s really gone insane
he thought he could keep it secret but this footage leaked of his staff burying the dog outside of the building the rally was in. you absolutely can’t trust biden and shouldn’t vote for this dog burier
The French president Macron is trying to raise their retirement age from 62 to 64 (and 67 for some?). French people have protested peacefully for 2 months but yesterday his government went ahead and invoked an article in their constitution that allows them to force the bill past the National Assembly without letting its deputies vote on it. Now Paris is burning ☺️
The trash collectors have gone on strike and so 7000+ tons of garbage has been piling up in the streets, then they get set on fire by protestors at night ☺️
A 50-kilogram anvil floats perfectly on the surface of mercury, because the density of the steel from which it is made is almost half the density of mercury.
for the mario movie???? the mario bros movie?? the actors can’t know the plot of the mario movie??? they’re scared of plot leaks for mario the movie?? the movie mario???? we’re getting not just chris pratt but chris pratt acting BLIND????????
we’ve all joked to death about how this type of micromanaging essentially kills the art of acting, but I want to make it extra clear that doing this to voice actors and making them riff on their performance in a void is just one tiny step away from AI generating the cherrypicked delivery that a studio desires, which is something they are already doing with james earl jones’s darth vader
Fuck this shit, fuck it all. I can’t believe the shit I’m seeing these days and as a film nerd it pisses me off. The disappearance of the mid-budget movie, replacing actual costumes and sets with green screen and non-union CG teams, keeping scripts secret from actors for some stupid reason, and I think the next step is absolutely AI bullshit. I hate it all. This isn’t movies, this is products and commercials and consumable goods. I want an epic fucking tale told to me by a campfire goddammit, not whatever the fuck this is turning into.
Me, explaining how to boil vegetables and broth in a stockpot with shampoo to make shampoup: “See the key is to keep it on a low simmer or it leeches the nonstick coating out of the pot.”

there’s something very funny developing on reddit today
If anyone is curious as to why the second poster is calling them out, the comments explain it but basically: the Westboro Baptist Church really isn’t a large group, it mostly consists of a single family. Apparently YesThisIsHappening is an actual, confirmed ex-member of the WBC who has been on Reddit for years and has even done an AMA (Ask Me Anything) about his experiences.
Because the WBC is so small and outside members coming in is so rare, YesThisIsHappening was able to eliminate possible ex-WBC members as suspects and realize Elys was full of shit. But according to people who have reblogged this post, the mods of r/HarryPotter have taken down YesThisIsHappening’s rebuttal post while keeping up Elys’s post (probably because it’s driving traffic to their sub and painting the series in a positive light).
Tbh this is so fucking funny. Anyone who knows even a little bit about the WBC knows that despite its notoriety it’s extremely small and close-knit and therefore very easy to prove if someone is lying about being part of it. Elys could have just said they were from a Quiverfull family or even a FLDS cult but I guess they had to go with the flashier name instead.
