Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.

Something I really don't understand is this obsession the anti-Israel crowd (in the West) have with death and martyrdom. All they care about is dying, and often killing for their cause; I see nothing about building a better future that isn't based on the murder of 9 million Israelis.

It's easy to die for a cause. The challenge is living to make a better tomorrow.

I have many vices, however one of the dumbest is advice columns. Give me a Dear Prudence or Ask Amy or a Hola Papi or AITA and I am a happy camper; I love to rubberneck on other people's problems, and am a very attentive listener if you've got drama you want to explain in punishing detail. The best part is that I will never remember names, so I really can't go telling tales unless your coworkers are fascinated by: "And then she said that---John? I think? I think his name was John. Maybe James. Or Johnny? I don't know, let's just call him 'John'. Anyway, John---"

Slate in particular is very good about serving me multiple advice columns, and even better, they have active comment sections where people discuss or deride or give their own opinions. However, it's also become....unavoidably clear that the comment section hates being told that maybe they should do literally anything for anyone ever.

It's starting to bum me out.

I mean, maybe all these anonymous commenters do genuinely love sitting in their houses alone with unimpeachable boundaries they alone control! If that's what makes them happy, godspeed, and I mean that sincerely. But as someone who spends a lot of evenings sitting in her apartment alone, with complete control....I think there's a downside the comment section hasn't stopped and considered yet.

half of these tiktok relationship/break up/whatever pranks would not work on most of the jjk boys, but nanami is esp funny because he just becomes immune to it. you tell him you two should break up and he just sighs and nods, continues making dinner even as you flutter around him and try to start a fake argument. “kento, hello? i’m saying we’re finished!” and he just hums, and chops the vegetables, “that’s nice, dear. did you want red or yellow peppers this time?”

Imagine it’s the reader thirsting after blue collar Simon👀

Like they call him to fix an issue in their and their boyfriends flat. It’s an issue the readers bf could have fixed easily if he just used his brains but alas. Simon notices the readers stare on his back as he fixes whatever’s wrong. So the bf is not only useless when it comes to get his hands dirty it seems.

Definitely rearranges the readers guts when their boyfriend is out for a while. Walks out with the readers knickers as the tip.

i'd been thinking of a simon who doesn't know how to do shit but lies through his teeth about it because it's an excuse to get you alone in your flat and you'll soon forget that he broke the pipe below your sink trying to follow a youtube tutorial when he's got your hair in his fist

It genuinely blows my mind how Red Dwarf has multiple episodes where the problem is that Rimmer has been unloved for his whole life and has a series of genuinely harmful neuroses as a result of his general upbringing. And in one of those episodes (cough cough terrorform) the solution is to make Rimmer feel loved and accepted, and he gets better! And yet! Because it was an episodic BBC comedy from the late 80s they didn’t want to change the status quo too much between episodes so Rimmer just never ever actually gets better. There’s something kind of awe-inspiring about creating a completely insufferable character who usually operates as the punching bag to Lister’s straight man, and then taking a lot of episode runtime to tell the audience in explicit terms that he is the way he is because of a tragic series of life events, and that he could get better if someone bothered to show him some compassion, and then just going straight back to Well, It Is Time to Laugh At Rimmer. It’s like well why don’t you just fucking kill me and be done with it

okay so series of events. completely on accident happened to get really into epic: the musical like RIGHT after the last saga dropped. couple days later my friend who convinced me to give it a try wanted to watch troy (2004) together. and every time odysseus came on-screen i'd say "hi, ody :)" but for the entire 3 hour movie my friend thought i was saying "coyote" and didn't question it at ALL until the credits were rolling

so ummm now coyody is just perpetually scurrying around in my mind that's all happy first art of 2025 everybody LMAO

Tbh I feel like going to the US while the Nazis are in power is suicidal. So of course I don't understand your choice of going instead of your SO coming to Europe. But while I don't understand, I wish and pray for you to be safe. Whatever you choose, I hope you guys will be okay

You might be right. I have no idea what the future has in store or if I'll come to regret it. But I've already stated my reasons. As it stands, with the year-long process we've already started and that we can't just flip on a dime overnight, my partner can't come and stay in Europe legally just like that. Legal immigration is not that easy in one way or the other. Also... Yeah, I've stated that before, but one shouldn't underestimate how shitty things have been getting in Europe for the past few years as well, and how the influence of the US (which is huge) is likely to make things worse. So again I'm not 100% sure whether that'd have been better anyway.

Also also... Ima be real, I've shared that before, but the time where I was separated from my partner due to the travel ban was the only time in my life where I had actual suicidal ideation. I don't want this to happen again. That's why I'm making moves so it doesn't, first and foremost.
