I mean, the one about the Antichrist fooling Christians fits so well that I'd probably believe it's actually happening if I believed in their bronze age fairy tales to begin with..

True, but in the US, the song has been overplayed so much that people tend to hate it more than much worse songs.

Same thing happened to Wham's Last Christmas (which was a worse song to begin with) in Scandinavia, Germany, and probably elsewhere too.

She already gets a gigantic one every year, owing to her being one of the few popular musicians who actually own the rights to their music (the vast majority of popular music being owned by just 3 conglomerates), but still she keeps going.

She even calls the excruciatingly extended Christmas period "Mariah SZN" 🤮🤬

Same here in Denmark. I likes me some careless whispers and being woken up before you go go, but Last Christmas can fuck right off forever.

I’m not even sure they’re gorgeous to look at. We just think they are

Literally the only way anything can be gorgeous: someone thinking it is.

You're trying to disprove the inherently subjective 😄

The human body mostly is IMO, especially mine.

Sure, some of them are gorgeous to look at, but they're buggy as hell, many of the processes don't make sense at all, and the hardware breaks down easily if you're not privileged enough to be able to spend a lot of time, effort, and money maintaining it.

Hold my shape, I'm going in!

True. Colorblind people come in all shapes and sizes.

It was a heartwarming moment that captured the Olympic spirit, but North Korea’s table tennis champions may be punished for joining a selfie with their opponents from the South.

Ri Jong Sik and Kim Kum Yong, who won silver medals, are said to be undergoing “ideological evaluation” along with other athletes who returned from the Paris Games.

The assessment is a standard procedure to “cleanse” the team from “exposure to contamination” abroad, the Daily NK reported.

North Korean athletes were reportedly given “special instructions” not to interact with South Koreans or other foreign athletes in Paris, under threat of repercussions.

Since returning from France, the Olympic team is believed to be in the process of a three-stage ideological assessment process by the country’s ministry of sport.

It is said to last about a month, with the intention of purging any lingering influence of “non-socialist” culture.

Of course. All theocracies too, in case you were planning a "but Arab States" gotcha.

sure Israel can exist but not on Palestinian land

And not as an ethnostate. No matter which ethnicity is favored, establishing and maintaining an ethnostate necessitates violent oppression and persecution of other ethnicities.

 

Oh no! Such horrors!

Who tf is massacring kids?

The IDF is and you fucking know it. Stop with the lies, please.

This is your fantasy, not reality.

It isn't. Over 20,000 and counting.

Kids die in wars.

It's not a war. A war implies two opposing militaries. This is not that. It's a genocide of civilians being perpetrated by one of the most powerful militaries in the history of the world.

Nobody is targeting kids.

The fuck they aren't. Please stop lying already.

Hamas is putting kids in harm's way

The IDF is doing that. Everything you genocide apologists accuse Hamas of, IDF is doing or at least doing more than Hamas do it.

their disgusting culture of "proud martyrdom."

You have them confused with other terrorist groups. Hamas' main method isn't suicide bombings and hasn't been for DECADES.

Hamas doesn't get to dictate how the war it started gets ~~faught~~ fought

Again, not a war. Also not started by Hamas.

because the news makes you so sad.

Yeah, I'm actually not overjoyed about news of daily war crimes including ethnic cleansing; deliberate targeting of aid workers, health care workers, journalists, and yes, children, being committed against innocent civilians under false pretenses by "the most moral army". I'm wacky like that.

Israel doesn't get to dictate what is or isn't crimes against humanity just because your favorite fascist apartheid regime finally getting called out for committing countless atrocities makes you sad.

 

🤦

Appeals court tells Texas it cannot ban books for mentioning ‘butt and fart’

Conservative-dominated court restores books denounced by officials as ‘pornographic filth’ to school libraries

An appellate court has ruled that Texas cannot ban books from libraries simply because they mention “butt and fart” and other content which some state officials may dislike.

The fifth US circuit court of appeals issued its decision on Thursday in a 76-page majority opinion, which was written by Judge Jacques Wiener Jr and opened with a quote from American poet Walt Whitman: “The dirtiest book in all the world is the expurgated book.”

In its decision, the appellate court declared that “government actors may not remove books from a public library with the intent to deprive patrons of access to ideas with which they disagree”.
