The thing that is interesting is if you have any semblance of personality you will definitely encounter people who viscerally hate you and obsess over you for years and you will not even remember their name
sometimes im like "wow holy shit im being really fucking annoying. i should stop talking" and then i pull out my magic 8 ball and it says "youve always been annoying and your friends chose to talk you anyways. youll be fine" and im like wow thanks magic 8 ball. and then the ogre attacks me
"Thank you. Thanks for each one of you, because you've made us, me and my people, feel that we're free, we're heard, and we're going back to our homes and land."
"I've spent the whole night thinking about every video I see- you're shouting for Palestine, you are protesting for Palestine, you are dancing, singing for Palestine. I feel it here, in my head. I'm going back, and I'm free. And one day we will celebrate it in real, in Gaza, together."
"Keep going. And we will too."
Bisan Owda, journalist in Gaza , in a message to student activists, April 26, 2024
it’s so funny when american zionists talk about how they feel unsafe. wdym you’re scared to leave your house because of hamas. you live in connecticut.
I really think everyone should find an offline hobby that you can do while listening to podcasts or music
Like there is nothing more centering then listening to something enjoyable while doing something with your hands that isn't endless scrolling
Hand sewing small items or embroidering moss while listening to people chatter about things I don't really care about just to enjoy their chatter is so very grounding
LIKE OK he tells this story about how during the riots he was driving to his police station and a cop friend calls him up to say hey, it's "violent down here don't do that." He thinks cop 2 is a coward and drives on. As soon as he turns the corner he gets shot at by a group. He reverses, takes a swig of something and powers on to the station with a gun in his lap.
This is most definitely lies!!
1) the story is so Johny Cowboy American hero stuff: grizzled cop takes a swig of whiskey, powers on through a hail of gun fire. Reeks of bulshit just from the framing.
2) so your telling me that a cop got shot at, was perfectly fine, and was calm enough to not shoot himself? Lol.
3) presumably the car was fine too? Because if the car was shot at presumably they would take pictures and show how scary it was. So either the cops decided not to make a big deal out of being shot at (lol) or this guy drove through gunfire miraculously unscathed.
Anyways extremely funny stuff, good job bud.
Watching OJ Made in America. The framing is actually so funny.
Like you get two episodes of context on the specifics of racism in LA, but the conceit of the show is that its being told to you by people related to the oj case in some way.
Which means.... the Cop So Racist He Made Himself Unwell But Happens To Have Found The Glove gives you his perspective on the LA riots (he's lying through his teeth the whole time.)
