Fister Roboto posted:The really cool thing about about the people whining about the government taking their gas stoves, is that statistically speaking, most of them don't have gas stoves. None of them gave a single poo poo about it until just the other day. Just like when they bitch and moan about Trans people in women's sports when they don't watch them in the first place.

Skios posted:Kellies Nomination: Worst Gaslighting ... This is conservatism right here. Getting wood combustion out of the home, which improved people's health and saved lives, was good because it happened before I was born. But making any further improvements is bad because things are fine just the way they are and we should celebrate burning gas in the home and keep doing it forever.

Hmm, yes, the problem is the perfidious Saxon culture exporting their Germanic Stoicism and not the culture in the royal family created and nurtured over the 70 years of Lizzie's shittastic reign.

Personally I just really liked Meghan Markle in Suits and I hate pedophiles, so I'm completely on Team Harry. Edit: It also doesn't help that every time Harry opens his mouth the gammons of Britain act like it's news that the royal family are vile racists. We've known the royal family has been pieces of poo poo since, uh... 1992? 1936? 1689? Tibalt fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jan 16, 2023 |

Pants Donkey posted:I do not understand why people care this much about the royal family’s internal spats. Especially Americans. I would imagine that now there's a new king, a lot of people are suddenly finding themselves needing to form an opinion on monarchy now that the monarch isn't just a nice old lady whose face you saw every time you got pocket money as a kid. So scandals among them are getting a bit more traction as people who'd previously have ignored it because they liked the old lady aren't doing that any more. Plus in the UK it's certainly a handy distraction for the tory traditionalists from getting angry at the party they're supposed to be voting for in the next couple of years. Not sure why it's getting played up so much in Australia though. I think the US just likes the celebrity drama of it all, same as ever.

This quote is engraved on a polished stone wall surrounding the memorial, that side of the statue has the words “Out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope” Gets a slight pass because that is a quote that appears in the memorial and framing it’s location wouldn’t work well since you would be facing away from the recognizable statue. It’s an artistic reinterpretation over slapping vague shapes of landmarks wherever. (Also technically not a statue but an engraving on stone but I could spend several posts talking about this stuff again.)

It's hilarious that the British press are so loving mad about Prince Harry, since from what I've seen half of what he keeps saying is what absolute garbage they are, and that the paparazzi that more or less chased his mother to her death faced no consequences whatsoever. It's just endless HOW DARE YOU over and over again.

Ann Telnaes Jeff Danziger  ... ... ... Peter Kuch (1963)  "We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have never yet engaged in a direct-action movement that was "well timed" according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "wait." It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This "wait" has almost always meant "never." It has been a tranquilizing thalidomide, relieving the emotional stress for a moment, only to give birth to an ill-formed infant of frustration. We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that "justice too long delayed is justice denied." We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our God-given and constitutional rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward the goal of political independence, and we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward the gaining of a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. I guess it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say "wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick, brutalize, and even kill your black brothers and sisters with impunity; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she cannot go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her little eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky, and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five-year-old son asking in agonizing pathos, "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"; when you take a cross-country drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading "white" and "colored"; when your first name becomes "friend of the family" and your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and when your wife and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs."; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never knowing what to expect next, and plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of "nobodyness" -- then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over and men are no longer willing to be plunged into an abyss of injustice where they experience the bleakness of corroding despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience." -Martin Luther King, Letter From a Birmingham Jail (1963) Charles Brooks (1967)  Clifford “Baldy” Baldowski (1964)  Herbert "Herblock" Block (1968)  Jack Knox (1967)  Bill Sanders (late 1960s)  Charles Bissell (1968)

Note that the gun holder is white, and the fire holder is black, because Herblock - the man who named McCarthyism when most others were cowed by it, the man who spent thirty years documenting how Nixon was a bum and a crook, one of the best and most revered political cartoonists of the 20th century - was still the kind of guy who thought "black people should protest, but not like that".
