this literally never stops being funny like dog they made starship troopers with the Baby's First Satire cranked up to 11 and these people are still fucking dumbfounded that the creators don't share their politics

Something you need to remember is that journalistic photographers are still artists at heart. When you are providing a source of information that is to be seen as "the truth" you are going to frame things to look a certain way.

You will publish the ones that look like what you want. The framing of Luigi Mangione's transportation is incredibly evocative of paintings of Jesus being arrested. It also (not so) coincidentally is often the framing of a hero being captured for the greater good.

This is ON PURPOSE. Do not discredit the artist by calling it a mistake. This was on purpose. The artist supports him and is framing him as a hero.

No matter how much corporate news may attempt to drown out the support for Mangione, artists always have the ear of the people. A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it?

A Modest Proposal for Strengthening Democracy, or How to Win Friends and Influence Elections

In an era where the mere mention of “free and fair elections” sends waves of laughter through the corridors of power, we find ourselves beholding the masterclass in governance offered by none other than the Supreme Leader Shri Sir Adarniya Modiji Maximum Authority, affectionately known as SLSSAMAM. The SLSSAMAM approach to democracy is not merely a strategy but an art form, a nuanced ballet…

Kendrick’s halftime show was so insanely good

If you didn’t see it, he rapped about a revolution, had all his dancers dress as the colors of the American flag, and had Samuel L. Jackson, a black man, dressed as Uncle Sam saying it was “too much” and “too ghetto”

I ❤️ social commentary

Humans are terrifying to any and all that are not them.

Bug Fact: An estimated 25% of the general population actively fear spiders and insects. This fear response may not be completely due to their threat levels, but related to the human feelings of disgust when seeing an insect.

i cannot adequately describe the emotion i feel watching people miss the VERY OBVIOUS message of sunrise on the reaping in favor of calling the book fan service

Honestly, the creator of Arcane insisting that he never intended to imply a romance between Viktor and Jayce and that their bond is brotherly or whatever makes that one scene from season 1 the most hilariously oblivious sequence in all of TV history. Like. "We decided that Mel and Jayce hooking up for the first time and Viktor collapsing at the lab would be parallel events and we'd show it by alternating between clips of each scene. Jayce would also leave Mel's bed immediately afterwards because they called him from the hospital. What do you mean that links Jayce's budding romance with another person to Viktor's worsening condition while establishing that Jayce still prioritises Viktor over Mel. What do you mean that implies romantic subtext between Viktor and Jayce. No, we didn't mean anything like that. We did it just because." Dude what. Lmao?

I'm sure the stay at home girlfriend thing is abrasive and inescapable on tiktok, no doubt compounded by female edgelords begging society to retvrn because they have finals next week, but I don't think beautiful gold diggers flexing the spoils of their hunt or teen edgelords miscalculating the offensiveness of their jokes are new or as culturally impactful as they're being credited. The revulsion is instinctual, I know, but these are internet-assigned villains of the week, not evidence that society is regressing and definitely not evidence we need to blow up the world and everyone in it. Stop hate-watching these videos, stop making screenshot compilations of strangers that anger you, they're distorting your perspective of the world.

President Donald Trump hosts promotional shoot for Tesla with Elon Musk at the White House. (2025) 🔻

Alright, so. I've read a lot of fics where everybody (or at least everybody sensible) knows that Endeavor is a bad hero. They know he causes a lot of collateral damage or even just straight up kills people sometimes. Data proves how terrible he is.

But listen. I want you to consider the scenario where he's a Good Hero. (hear me out) -He's still a piece of steaming shit as a person. He beat his wife, abused AND neglected his children, and I think there were allusions to sexual abuse with Rei. He's irredeemable. But he's also just a good hero. He's competent at his job. He minimizes collateral damage. He has an impressively high success rate. He still can't bring himself to stoop so low as to be nice, but come on-Trump won the elections. A good PR team can perform miracles.

So I want you to just. consider the way Shouto has to bite down the urge to break down in hysterical laughter every time someone talks about How kind Endeavor is, to have donated so much to that charity for Abuse Victims and How he must be such a softie under all that gruff exterior. And consider the moment when he realised that he could put 0% effort into hiding everything and it wouldn't matter. People would rather press their hands against their ears and sing La Di Da.

Also consider the fact that Izuku's father had a Fire Quirk. And while Endeavor had nothing on All Might, maybe Izuku used to look up to him, maybe he thought he was cool. Consider the hit he takes when he realises the truth. (because of course he believes Todoroki. that's practically a no-brainer for him. it is earth-shattering for Shouto) Consider the way he will later break a nail- while clawing, ripping, tearing the posters off his wall.

just. consider that.

just got a plea for people to start drawing Elon x JD Vance yaoi art blazed onto my timeline and the scary part is I can't tell if it's a joke because I've encountered people before who are just actually like that.

and if it IS a joke then they need to learn how to be funnier, I'm so deeply tired of that general brand of leftist "humor" that usually mostly involves just shoving grotesquely photoshopped images of fascists in my face all the time and saying "see?? it's funny because I'm mocking a bad person we all hate" like idk it's starting to feel like the joke is just on me for having to see/think about this stuff. you're not a comedic genius you're just a less interesting political newspaper cartoonist

!!!BREAKING NEWS!!! The nebulous hive mind of internet queer discourse has decided that lesbians who eat toast are no longer valid. Twitter user @/wombyn4wombyn has this to say: “Lesbians who eat toast are not real lesbians. Real lesbians do not like toast. We can’t let these toast loving freaks invade our lesbian spaces!!” IN OTHER NEWS the state of Florida has passed the Shoot Queers on Sight law. “Dykes, fags, it’s all the same to me.” Says a supporter of the new law. “We need to keep these dangerous predators out of our public spaces.”
