So so glad to see more writers heading towards the ideal Cass and Shiva dynamic: "I will never be your typical mother but every time you need to do some soul searching or get therapy from someone who truly understands, we can fight it out until you figure out what's blocking you. You get to be your best self and I get entertainment and to witness something that interests me. A win win"
You know I'm generally against Shiva being solely tied to Cass, but like...
Their rivalry is genuinely so fucking fun to read, man. 😭
Like it isn't even a rivalry where the two hate one another, it's genuinely just a "I'm better than you" rivalry and that's so refreshing compared to other comic rivalries.
That being said I'm an advocate for more Shiva stories outside of Cass, but like I don't mind them butting heads every once in a while, it's just really fun stuff.
usamerican stupidity has so much range because it can go anywhere from "whoa I can't believe you guys don't have [hyperspecific venue/product such as 7 Eleven or Ben and Jerry's]" to "DUDE ARGENTINA HAS INTERNET??"
The US single-handedly blocked the UN from recognizing Palestine by vetoing a draft resolution in the Security Council that recommended that “the State of Palestine be admitted to membership of the UN.” With 12 council members voting yes, a clear majority voted in favor; only the UK and Switzerland abstained.
Meanwhile, 139 of the 193 UN member states already recognize Palestine, virtually all of the world safe for the Global North and its closest allies.
Even in the EU, several countries are set to recognize Palestine soon. Since 2012, the Palestinians have been a non-member observer state to the UN, a de facto recognition of statehood granted by the UN General Assembly.
However, the Security Council and then at least two-thirds of the General Assembly must approve an application to become a full member of the world body.
The Palestinian push for full membership came six months into Israel’s devastating war of extermination against the Gaza Strip, and as Israel is expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank, which the UN already considers to be illegal.
Glad that Laios sees his sister show up fused into an unholy monster and says "that is sick as hell though I give this 9/10 for being a bit over designed." Marcille meanwhile seeing the same thing says "booba 🥵"
Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.
Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.
We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.
Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.
"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?
Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?
