Colton Gilbert, the debate coach at Central High, said [...] “Every day I walk into class and think to myself: is today’s conversation the one that will get me fired?”

Free speech being chilled in real time. JFC.

Have you ever seen Sanders, Chaya Raichak, and Sidney Powell in the same room? They’re like different age levels of the same chinless, bigot.

Hatred sucks!

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

Hatred is stored in the jowls

There's a Huckabee family photo from years ago - probably around the time Mike Huckabee was helping campaign for one of her early elections, but I'm not 100% about that.

In the photo most of Huckabees were wearing some variant of a striped shirt, and I remember thinking it looked like a cluster of circus tents.

I have to go find that pic to make sure it wasn't a fever dream.

You are truly godlike. Thank you.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

A picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, the thousand words are a cautionary tale on the dangers of dressing alike for family photos.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wait, I thought stripes were slimming.

[-] III@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not when you introduce so, so many stripes.

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, so imagine how things would be without the vertical stripes.

Yes! Thank you!

This is pretty foul, but in line with conservatives wanting to control education and retcon history. Who controls the past, controls the present. And who controls the present, controls the future...

We need more Command & Conquer (up to Tiberian Twilight) taught in the Classrooms!

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It’s also in a rage against the machine song, renegades of funk

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

P. sure that was Testify, and Renegades of Funk was a cover anyway

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yea you might be right, de la roca gets stuck in my head and sometimes I get the track names mixed sorry

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I just got hit with nostalgia so hard.

[-] DarkenLM@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure I saw that quote in 1984. Which is becoming less of a dystopian novel and more of a description of present times.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That’s not true. England would never pretend to be socialist these days

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

England thinks 1984 was an instruction manual.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

looks at England George Orwell might've gotten a bit too detailed on the world building...

This guy, proving that the "oh, you mean from Fortnite" thing isn't new.

  1. The book.

A book is a stack of rectangular sheets of processed plants printed with text, all held together on one side.

Here in Arkansas she's been pushing some propaganda around the LEARNS Act where she's almost literally thanking herself for making kids learn better. Fuck her.

[-] kumatomic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 years ago

Yet they'll argue they aren't racists while attacking everything not white.

Black person in a movie: "Why is Hollywood so woke?"

Muslim in an advertisement: "These brands have just gone woke."

Trans person in sports: "The woke are ruining sports."

School subject focused on Black Studies: "Woke schools are ruining education."

The rest of us: "Have you considered that you're just a bigot?"

[-] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

One of the best parts of leaving reddit is how much less I see frightened bigots screeching about "white genocide" over a black person appearing in an advertisement.
