For real though I was just thinking this is the language of abusers but on an international scale. "Why would you make me do this". The denial of genocide is bad enough but if we're now transitioning on to "they forced us to genocide them"....fuck me...that's actually really terrifying and it makes me uncomfortable to think about.

Comparable to this? I honestly cannot imagine. This situation would be like if Kleenex had tried to rebrand themself as "A" or something. Like the joke about Kleenex is its brand name is so known and superfluous that even generic tissues are called "kleenex". That's ubiquity you frankly can't buy for any amount of money. People used "tweet" in casual fucking conversation for gods sake and the fucking petulant idiot king just flushed it down the toilet. Breathtaking.

I have said, and maintain, the funniest outcome would be Joe Biden losing the election and then them both dying, making Harris a lame duck president for like 3 weeks before she buggers off to hand it to whoever Trumps VP is. We've got the setup...all we need now is the punchline....

Yo...I can't find it but I swear to god this is a rip off of an old simpsons commercial for the new season and the punchline is that the moon/eclipse is in the shape of Bart's head.

Adam Johnson of citations needed has a tweet I am far far too intoxicated to track down which basically goes (to paraphrase): "Bill Gates keeps saying he needed Jeffrey Epstein for his connections to charity organizations. Who are these organizations? Name their names! If bill gates picks up a phone and dials the number of an international charity organization who the fucking shit isn't taking that call?????????"

I'm not sure if citations needed has ever done an episode on articles like this, but as a parent and a leftist it's hard to not start noticing that nearly all parenting "experts" or "success" stories seem to basically boil down to people 'richsplaining' how to raise your kids into successful CEOs and career paths.

I find this incredibly frustrating because this bassically accepts as a framework that your kid becoming a CEO is an inarguably laudable goal, rarely if ever asks questions about how psychologically well adjusted they are as people, and perhaps most importantly never addresses the elephant in the room of the role class plays.

I feel like my entire life, in basically every form of media I've ever seen: helicopter parenting has been assumed as being wrong and harmful. These days it's hard for me not to ask if this isn't just an extension of the culture of "personal responsibility" and "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps."
