Break up Visa and Mastercard. Break up any bank worth more than a billion dollars. Tax excess profits at 125%. Make companies pay exorbitant fees to conduct stock buybacks. Cap interest rates on mortgages at 1%. Raise the minimum wage to $50 an hour. Make healthcare universal and ban private hospitals. Make legislators sell everything they own and live in barracks like monks. Make elected officials swear oaths of poverty. Tax churches. Prosecute Exxon. Take Fox News off the air. Build a world in which it’s impossible to be both rich and powerful.

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

"For anyone who doesn't know what a Bacon number is, it is the degrees of separation a person is from the actor Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's number is 0, Someone who has worked with him directly's number is 1. Someone who has worked with that person's number is 2, and so on. (Here is a link to the Wikapedia page on Bacon numbers for more details.)

If you don't know your Bacon number, you can check it on The Oracle of Bacon by putting in the name of the most famous person that you or someone you know have met"

Women deserve access to abortion and are oppressed as a class in the United States. Gay people deserve equal rights and laughing at the idea that gay marriage is a serious matter is homophobia. Jews are human beings who do not deserve to be randomly attacked and murdered due to the actions of a foreign government they don't control and disagreeing is Nazism. Racism against black people as well as all other racial minorities is extremely real and claiming it's all just misplaced classism is a form of racism. The death penalty is bad, point blank, under every circumstance. Terrorism against civilians is also bad, point blank, under any circumstance. The Democrats are far from perfect but are a much better political party than the Republicans who are trying to disenfranchise millions of voters. Also voting is good and doesn't make you a fascist.

All opinions every single person on this website would have agreed with ten years ago that only about a third do now. I don't know what the fuck happened to the young people in the United States but I promise you Karl Marx isn't going to fuck you because you make fun of gay people wanting equal rights and claim Jews cause global warning. Literally none of this shit is radical or original at all. You're not more enlightened than your peers because you don't take women's liberation seriously. You are just a garden variety bigot.

MCU this, DCEU that, Sub Space Emissary my ass- no cinematic universe or cross over event holds a candle to the sheer weight of this moment in Lupin III

I am generally anti-censorship, but I think it might be best to leave the Epstein files alone, I'm not sure people are ready for what's in them. Remember, Epstein wasn't just into human trafficking, he also spent time with physicists such as Stephen Hawking.

Tell me, have you watched the Doctor Who episode "Extremis"? And are you familiar with something called "simulation theory"?

I suspect that Epstein found evidence that strongly suggests we live in a simulation. This is why multiple Administrations, Democrat and Republican, in the USA have kept it secret.

Even people who said they would reveal it, the moment they read what was in it, they changed their minds. Insane as it may sound, I think maybe Epstein DID take his own life, or at least didn't put up a fight when Bill Clinton arrived to silence him. I think he couldn't live with what he learned.

i have not watched extremis, no, im familiar with simulation theory though! also im happy to see you've rediscovered my tumblr after mostly reply guying on twitter lately

i think any time a politician so much as suggests creating a national public registry of a minority group they should lose their job immediately, and then be shot

I'm reading the scriptwriters' guide for TOS and it's cracking me up in many places. It's so obvious that, from the very beginning, they were already aware of so many of the issues people complain about today.

First there's a multiple choice quiz, what's wrong with this scene?

Answer: C! Absolutely Kirk would not hug the yeoman at this point! That's unprofessional!

The Prime Directive gets explained. As I keep telling people, it's not never broken, it's just supposed to only be broken for very good reasons.

For people wondering how to write a stardate: you make up some numbers!

No saluting! Yes optimism!

There is so much "think of the budget" in here. Yes you can use the shuttle bay but only if it's relevant, we have to use miniatures. Yes you can have a space suit but please don't ask for zero gravity. And where aliens are concerned, you can have some makeup but please focus on the interior differences not just tentacles!

Honestly I think Spock is a better alien than, say, Jabba the Hutt, because as human as he looks, he's much more different on the inside. People like to dismiss Star Trek aliens as "forehead of the week" but it's kind of a stage shorthand for "we're about to discover a unique culture, these people are different from you in ways you might not expect."

And to wrap up:
