Oof. I do NOT want to make that list. đŠ
Keisha TK Dutes (@TastyKeish) Tweeted: We’re in a cycle of y’all recognizing Black people are actually people and “I’m sorry for..” Then I trick myself into protecting you from my real thoughts. I don’t want to be gracious. I want to say “Sorry for what exactly?” And then make you list it out like an itemized bill.

Hmmm.
Bree Newsome Bass (@BreeNewsome) Tweeted: Half of the political establishment continues to defend the actions of the 1/6 riot, arguing that the people who damaged property that day were justifiably outraged. The Boston Tea Party is also framed as a justified political act. Itâs only Black ppl who must protest quietly.

I may need to seek out some steak-umms the next time I go grocery shopping.
Steak-umm (@steak_umm) Tweeted: when we remind people that brands do what they do to meat a bottom line, it postures us above the problem, but we aren’t. we’re just using self-aware anti-advertising to invoke transparency because it helps our own bottom line. it’s all circular. that’s the tea steak-umm bless

Isn’t violence what they signed up for?
Tea Pain (@TeaPainUSA) Tweeted: Breaks you’re heart, don’t it? (Hint: no) https://t.co/LSJCRwh9Hd
Ok. To be fair: violence is not the way. Prison guards should not be beating people up for no good reason. And this is not a good reason.
stuart stevens (@stuartpstevens) Tweeted: It seems very odd there is a land war in Europe and nobody much seems to care.

The return of American isolationism. Looks like China’s getting ready to move on Taiwan, also.

«A round trip between SF and L.A. costs a little over $100. A flight between the two costs maybe $100 to $150. A round trip between Osaka and Tokyo (a slightly shorter distance) costs over $200. … If people expect a high-speed train ticket to cost âa little more than a local train ticketâ, rather than âa little more than an airplane ticketâ, they need to look at some actual prices.»

I’ll probably never forget the Facebook argument I got into with a vague acquaintance who quoted Wendell Barry at me.

Random reply guy nails it.
«The daftest part of it is the weird assumption (held by many in your replies, clearly) that if the government is the Bad Guys, that there will clearly be a bunch of righteous 2A people opposed to the Bad Guys and that will somehow work.
It’s bullshit.
… What is *way* more likely to happen is that there will be (a) a tyrannical government, almost certainly of the right wing variety (and if you think that’s implausible because you’ve been drinking the koolaid about speech codes and feminazis and so on, note which party has … been trying to dismantle democratic participation and overturn election results) and (b) there will be a big bunch of armed nutcases acting as de facto paramilitaries in SUPPORT of the tyranny, doing all the really gross stuff (shooting labor leaders and lynching PoC etc) … that the government doesn’t want to dirty its hands with.Libertarians like to LARP about this but in practice most of them either don’t care about right-wing tyranny or would be pretty glad for it.»
