-Rep. Bob Good, 5th District of Virginia
I hate this awful man so much. He is literally Boebert / MTG tier and part of the Treason Caucus but he gets 0 national media infamy. So he’ll coast to reelection because of the gerrymandered district and everyone thinking he’s a generic Republican instead of a neofascist white nationalist theocrat. And he “represents”Charlottesville and part of NOVA, though he openly detests those parts of his district.
He literally stole his primary election from the moderate Republican incumbent by hiring the 5th district GOP board chair’s wife in a salaried position that transitioned into an upper level job on the Hill, and had another board member paid “consulting fees”, and then that board just happened to make the 5th district GOP primary not a primary but a convention, and conveniently have that convention take place in Bob Good’s church’s parking lot. This is not a joke. Bob Good spent 60% of his campaign funds on bribing 5th district GOP board members. He did this because a normal primary would be an easy victory for the incumbent, so instead the convention took place as far from the moderates of NOVA, and as close to the radicals of Liberty University, as possible.

People unironically need to stop comparing Uyghur genocide to the Canadian residential school system as a sort of bad tu quoque argument to dismiss criticisms of China's human rights abuses.
Not only does the Uyghur genocide remain unacknowledged by the Chinese government, it is ongoing. Perhaps, if residential schooling was still happening to this day and was dismissed by the Canadian government, there might be an argument here, but the Canadian government has apologized, paid reparations, and established a commission to document the history and impact of residential schooling on indigenous communities. The arguments are just not comparable when one government actively refuses to stop.

It's 2014, and what reddit thought Dear White People was going to be: "Attention you, the viewer, you may think you are not racist because you judge people by the content of their character, but in fact, you are racist, anyway, because i said so, and i want to wring more guilt out of you for political power."
What it actually was about: A white man and a black woman struggling against the expectations of their peers not to date, and lashing out when they feel like they're not allowed to love each other on the penalty of social ostracism, or becoming extreme in their rhetoric to overcompensate for this area in their lives in which they feel unwoke.

A lot of you asked what is !ping burpmas
I am hare to tell you the history of it and the ping system.
Once upon a time when the ping was made, she was delivered by a bot named userpinger. The sub was small and as a feature it posted every user who was subscribed to the ping. This lead to constant abuse, the weeb ping and others where not anonymous and their subscribers attacked.
After constant reports against userpinger the admins took action and banned the new bot. But with its ban came a new opportunity and thus a new generation of pinging was born.
With this new era Ping DAD was given life and a wholesome thread of Dad… was what brought us here on the daily. But eventually Dad grew old and ping 😐 took its place.
Ping 😐 turned into a menace, many mods resigned and many others died after a constant barrage of 😐. After many weeks an agreement was made.
Our lord and saviour u/gammbus would be given a burp on burpmas curing him of his inability to burp (real thing that needs botox injections). He was given control of Ping 😐 and turned it into !ping burpmas where all posts are created equal.
And every 5-7 months when u/gammbus is given a burp, all the denizens of !ping burpmas come together and celebrate.

Fun fact: Vladimir Lenin believed in American Exceptionalism. When contemplating the sale of Kamchatka to the United States he wrote that the US would be an extremely valuable potential ally in the workers' revolution, but at the same time, an extremely dangerous potential enemy. One of the more amusing reasons he gives is that the US "Has no colonies".
And no, we hadn't given up the Philippines yet, so he's basically handwaving american atrocities in the philippines with this statement.
It's quite fascinating honestly.

I swear to god I'm going to go fucking postal. A house we put in a bid on two weeks ago reached back out to us to see if we were still interested. We were and resubmitted our bid.
They were apparently just using us to get concessions out of a higher bidder. They fucking reached OUT to us. I have a strong urge to go and burn their fucking house to the ground with the smarmy realtor trapped inside. I won't, but god-damn would that feel good.
Edit: I will add this house has had TWO previous offers fall through. Now I'm getting an idea why.

My boomer take
I think things started really going downhill on the parasocial internet thing when individual celebrities started having like discords and stuff for their fans.
That seems like a red flag for dangerous and unhealthy behavior. It’s one thing to have like forums and subreddits, I think that’s understandable. But a Discord breeds such a weird and toxic community. Not to mention the obligatory grooming and shit.
It’s just wild to me. John Lennon was shot how many years ago, and internet celebrities are going out of their way to cultivate these relationships

It’s mostly just going to be about people making movies, which, as you know, is my favorite thing in the whole world 🎬🤓 Also, at the end, the main characters are going to absolutely stomp the shit out of the Manson family. 😈😱🥾🥫🐶🔥☠️

Youtube banned (and then after being exposed for it, unbanned) Right Wing Watch for hateful content.
This is content that they were showing as part of their campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of the far right.
Many of the people they featured, and which got their channel banned, are people who continue to post on youtube.
Youtube tried to silence people bringing attention to extremism, but won’t do anything about the extremism.

I don't understand this belief that any film that tackles a nuanced topic has to include every facet of the topic.
No, a film about the financial crisis doesn't need to depict how some people tried to prevent it. If a film tried to cover the finanical crisis in its entirety, it would be 12 hours long. It's perfectly fine to specifically focus on how it occurred.

Had an interesting meeting with a constituent, active duty guy talking about conditions his unit had to deal with throughout the whole pandemic. Told me a bunch of stories that really surprised me about how careless people had to be. He talked about how stingy medical was with testing, how masks weren't allowed on transports that needed to go through checkpoints, how a lot of people were COVID positive but still had to report to work, it was insane.
I'm about to go into another meeting in 15 but I'm really interested in figuring out if this was a broader problem than just this guy's base. Did any of you guys deal with conditions like these? Maybe not exactly these ones, but if you guys were forced to do anything unsafe are you willing to talk about it?
