Ick. This implies there are no arguments because he fears for his physical safety. This is making a joke out of an abusive situation.

70 Years ago today the USSR caused Brits to invent the word tankie
Based socialist revolt against authoritarianism.
I like this summary from https://communist.red/the-1956-hungarian-revolution-a-struggle-for-genuine-socialism/
Here we republish an extract from the new introduction to Peter Fryer’s ‘Hungarian Tragedy’, by General Secretary of the RCP, Ben Gliniecki. This begins our series of articles to commemorate the Hungarian people’s noble and valiant struggle for genuine socialism.
Seventy years ago, in October 1956, Hungarians flooded into the streets. For eleven days, they fought the Stalinist dictatorship. By the end, they were battling Soviet tanks street by street. This was a revolution for genuine socialism in Hungary.
The Hungarian regime was hated. It was socialist in name but bureaucratic in essence – modelled on the Soviet Union under strict control by Moscow. This lifeless government had been bureaucratically deformed ever since its birth in 1949. But it was rocked in 1956 by a living movement for workers’ democracy against Stalinist repression. Contrary to Stalinist slanders, this was never a movement for the restoration of capitalism. It was an attempt by ordinary Hungarians to take control over their own lives and establish a healthy socialist society.
The revolution was ultimately crushed with an iron fist and Soviet tanks. The scale of the threat it posed to the Soviet bureaucracy can be measured in the lives that were lost. Tens of thousands of Hungarian workers were killed and countless more injured.

Trump calls on the Federal Reserve board to take full control of the central bank from Powell
Ah, there it is. A few weeks ago Powell showed he wouldn't fall in line and kiss Trump's ring. A response like this was inevitable.

Ed Sheeran's tour in trouble after opening acts drop out in solidarity with rapper Macklemore
I get why people are pissed at Ed Sheeran. But it seems wildly unfair that billionaire Israel supporter Robert Kraft, who started this mess, is somehow getting away clean while Ed Sheeran takes all the heat.

'Beyond Crazy': FBI Summons State Election Officials to Secretive Meeting After Trump Threat to ‘Nationalize’ Midterms
Per the Constitution, the executive branch of the federal government has no fucking business being involved in elections. We can only hope our state elections offices hold to that.
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
By its terms, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, referred to as the Elections Clause, contemplates that state legislatures will establish the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate, subject to Congress making or altering such state regulations (except as to the place of choosing Senators).1 The Supreme Court has interpreted the Elections Clause expansively, enabling states "to provide a complete code for congressional elections, not only as to times and places, but in relation to notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices, counting of votes, duties of inspectors and canvassers, and making and publication of election returns."

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
Is it possible there are some SNAP recipients taking advantage of the system? I'm sure there are. Is the problem so bad that we need to make life harder for all the other people who truly need that assistance? No, absolutely not. I'm not losing sleep over the possibility that some people might be saving money on groceries. Let them have it. There are so many bigger issues to worry about.

Mike Johnson flies same Christian nationalist flag outside his office that Samuel Alito flew at vacation home
We can't keep giving up historical symbols and flags each time some assholes decide to adopt them. The pine tree flag is objectively cool and a part of Americans' shared history. It should not be allowed to become an exclusively right-wing nationalist symbol.

PPB is "Pig Pooping on Balls." One of hexbear's favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.
So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.

There is a difference between choosing minimalism and being forced into it by lack of options. If these two characters had steady income or a safety net, and chose to live like this, then good for them. But they don't; they are unemployed with a leaky roof and inadequate heat and presumably do not have the means to address those issues. This is an unstable situation to which nobody should aspire.
