IDK, maybe because cops are killing people in record numbers, which aren't included in violent crime stats?

He sure has a lot of boomer energy for a guy who's only 42.

Yeah, these aren't even jokes, more like some weirdass gross power fantasy.

“God forbid I ever go to jail. But if I do, I hope it’s in California. Soon as the judge sentences me, I’ll be like, ‘Before you sentence me, I want the court to know I identify as a woman. Send me to a woman’s jail.’ As soon I get in there, you know what I’mma be doing. ‘Give me your fruit cocktail, bitch, before I knock your motherfucking teeth out. I’m a girl, just like you, bitch. Come here and suck this girl dick I got. Don’t make me explain myself. I’m a girl.'”

I am trans, and it's hard to not take the insults personally, especially since this "edgy comedy" is coming from a comedian I used to admire and respect. What the fuck, Dave?

According to his job description, the dude is a "Mental Wealth Advisor" 🙄

Yesterday one of our community members was being harassed by an antisemitic asshole (elsewhere on Lemmy, not here). The dickwad's post was promptly nuked by the mods, but not before I got a brief chance to tell them to fuck off. That interaction inspired this meme.

If you see someone being harassed, speak up! Don't let them talk to your friends like that, and don't let your local community turn into a Nazi bar! Stand together

I feel empathy for her, but only a tiny bit. Her political party: (1) supports political violence, (2) commits most of it, and (3) in general commits a majority of the crime in the country. This is not an opinion, it's documented fact. Violence is the conservative party's M.O. I don't mean to victim blame, but when you willingly associate with violent psychopaths on a daily basis, violence is inevitable. It was just a matter of time before some dipshit put his hands on her.

“I just happened to look in my emails and see the letter from the principal coming through saying that it was coming to Chimneyrock," Kincaid said. "I'm about to come unglued right now.”

I'm trying to picture what this looks like. She's on the verge of throwing a temper tantrum over this, which is hilarious and to be honest really sad. These people need to grow up and get over themselves.

Also, why are only grandparents quoted in this article? Is there not enough conservative millennial rage in Tennessee to meet their quota?

Y'know, if Texas secedes, we won't have to change the flag and remove a star if we make Puerto Rico a state. Just sayin'.

I'm just trying to process this. Do I have this right? Bridget Ziegler, one three founders of Moms for Liberty (a right wing extremist group trying to erase all references about queer people, discrimination, and racism from public schools), has consensual sex with women and her husband rapes them?

I mean, wow. Is she running for president or something?

I choose: c) "Taylor Swift off the top rope with a steel chair! There's blood everywhere!! By gawd, would somebody stop the damn match!"

How much frozen human shit has that mountain accumulated since people started climbing it for fun? Can somebody do the math on that? I feel like it has potential for a really shitty trivia question. Like, for Shitty Jeopardy! or something. JFC, I am baked.

@FlyingSquid omg I didn't realize it was your post. Hi! Ok I'm gonna put the bowl down

It's a horseshit statement, they're still passive-aggressively deflecting blame (emphasis mine):

As you, our diligent community pointed out, it looks like some AI components that are now popping up in industry standard tools like Photoshop crept into our marketing creative, even if a human did the work to create the overall image.

While the art came from a vendor, it’s on us to make sure that we are living up to our promise to support the amazing human ingenuity that makes Magic great.

I was one of the A.I.-generated art posters. I'm slightly bummed, but I get it. There are moral issues to consider, and it does require relatively little effort on the creative side. I mean, I myself do prefer seeing custom stuff that was created manually by community members.

So glad to see the transparency with rule changes/additions. You guys are doing all right. Thanks for making this a fun, cozy, safe place to hang out in.

Omglol

Ahahahahahaha Today I Learned Anton Yelchin (RIP) was in a punk band. The screenshot is from Green Room, where his fictional band covers Nazi Punks Fuck Off in front of a crowd of white power skinheads. Movie also stars Patrick Stewart as the head Nazi. I didn't know Anton was in an actual punk band IRL LOL

Hexbear.net (spun off from r/chapotraphouse, banned on Reddit in 2019 for fascist propaganda), has downvotes disabled on their entire instance, so that's one. Please note that though they claim to be "leftist," their users' primary focus is spreading right wing propaganda via strawman and red herring tactics, usually in swarms.

In case people don't know, JK Rowling's pen name is a reference to Robert Galbraith Heath, a psychiatrist who experimented with gay conversion therapy in the 60s and 70s using surgically implanted electrodes on gay men's brains. He claims to have "cured" one of them. He did lots of other fucked up things too, and of course Rowling denies her pen name has anything to do with him. FWIW, she also claims she's not a bigot, but her words and actions clearly indicate otherwise.

On the topic of young people unable to buy a home, Whoopi said to her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin:

"You got to go out and get a job...I know you're young, but here's what it is. You work, and you can afford a house. And you can go and get one."

"After consulting with colleagues, I'd like to retract my previous statement. My name is Polyester Blend.
