«"Let me say this about Nadine: Nadine had financial concerns that she kept from Bob," said the defence attorney, Mr Weitzman.

They led separate lives, Mr Weitzman said, with Mr Menendez often focused on helping his constituents from his seat in Washington.»

so Menéndez is throwing his wife under the bus. his lawyers think jurors are stupid & paint him as a saint, victim of his moneygrubbing wife.

DO NOT WHITEMANSPLAIN TO ME POLITICS

go fucking put your body on the line and protest and fight the injustice of having to choose the bad politics of the fascist lite politician.

then go vote for the fascist lite politician and continue to protest him until we can have actual real democracy defending politicians.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE. i hope everything you take for granted is taken from you. EVERYTHING; because that's a day ending in y for the rest of us Black & Brown folks.

the guy who did this had the AUDACITY to not only whitemanplain to me politics, but takes out @mekkaokereke who was the OP of the post.

do you know why he took out Mekka? because it was not fair to Mekka to have to put up with his whitemansplaining why the Blacks should shut up or else.

misogynist, fascist bootlicking and anti-Black all in one whitemansplaining liberal package.

and they have the audacity to blame Black people for the death of American "democracy".

it blows my mind people do not get that they are being asked to protest the bad policies AND vote for the guy.

but that's the thing: that would be an inconvenience TO THEM. they do not want to do the heavy work of defending democracy. that should be for the people who they enjoy seeing as martyrs, BIPOC. not them. good heavens no, they have take care of their cuticles and underpay an immigrant to mow their lawn.

i hate white liberals and their thinly veiled bigotries.

RANDOM REMINDER
children of racists, fascists, transphobes, xenophobes, forced to perform acts of violence, are victims of child abuse.

YES, RAISING RACIST CHILDREN IS CHILD ABUSE. children groomed to hate are raised in violent environments.

so, IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT ABUSED CHILDREN, refrain from circulating videos of children involved in acts of violence; especially when they're egged on by their fascist elders.

thank you.

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/us/politics/biden-trump-battleground-poll.html

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

"If the "nice guy," suddenly calls the woman a stupid ****, and tells her "Chad is worse!" and "Have fun getting hit! You deserve what happens to you!" we see that he was never a nice guy.

Pretend that you do understand this, but that you don't understand why "Trump is worse!" is so ineffective.🤡"

«Expertos que estudian el comportamiento de estos cetáceos en estas aguas aseguran que detrás de este nuevo incidente están las orcas ibéricas conocidas como gladis, 15 ejemplares de la población de unas 37 que viven entre el norte de la península Ibérica y el estrecho de Gibraltar. »

«Aunque no existe una pauta, y su forma de actuar varía, se suelen acercar al barco sigilosamente, en muchas ocasiones sin que los tripulantes se percaten, para situarse debajo del bote...»

«Los preferidos de estas 15 orcas, que se dividen al menos en cuatro grupos, son los veleros, tanto monocascos (72%) como catamaranes (14%), de un tamaño medio de 12 metros, aunque también se observan interacciones con lanchas a motor (6%), semirrígidas (5%) y pesqueros (3%), según indica GTOA.»

The Gladis pod, a pod of 15 orcas, have claimed the Estrecho de Gibraltar and the Golfo de Cádiz as theirs, from April to August.

the government of Spain put this map out because after 5 years, the Pod has been consistent with their actions:

  • they do sneak attacks
  • they choose boats they can easily sink, as in boats with small rudders
  • piercing the hauls seems to be a goal

zoologists say the Orcas seem to enjoy seeing the boats sink.

Meghan Markle looking radiant as she visits Nigeria.🇳🇬♥️

Sometimes I get sad thinking about what could have been, and how many deep wounds could have been healed. I can see a world where we can all say "imperialism was bad, slavery was bad, colonialism was bad, and exploiting smaller countries for their natural resources is bad. Let's choose to do better."

When I think about which royals could bridge our current world with that better world, I think of Harry and Meghan.

Launching my #Monsterdon thread for The Fabulous Journey To the Center of the Earth (1977) aka When Time Began. I'm not totally sure what this movie's title should be, so I'm not going to hash tag it.

However I am excited that this movie might have dinosaurs, caves and bellhops.

another one from The Hill, this one about RFK Jr now being demonized by Republicans as a threat to Trump.

can we agree he isn't so much a political threat but a cypher for the mental #health of USA's political class and the citizens who parasocially elect them?

@cam what's really bizarre is not their fixation but how detached they are from us little people that they see this guy and totally freak out. the thing though is that he has been hooking up with all the right-winger grifters in Trump's circle. the only reason Democrats should be worried is that if he gets on any ballot, he lends plausible deniability for another stolen election by Electoral College. but i guess this guy is freaked out because it's obvs he RFKJr is a MAGA turd after all.

NORMAL FINKELSTEIN is having the biggest "i fucking told you so" moment of his life and am sure, though well received, it is more bitter than sweet.

https://jacobin.com/2024/05/norman-finkelstein-student-protests-gaza-free-speech

this is an important article for his focus on the cognitive #linguistics of protests:

«"I believe the “Cease-fire now” slogan is most important. On a college campus, that slogan should be twinned with the slogan of “Free speech.” If I were in your situation, I would say “Free Gaza, free speech”...»

Subtitles in movie theatres NOW. I will not back down on this

blogdiva,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

@patrickworld i mean, they are kind of a distraction for some? the theater only showed them at certain matinee times. i guess back then there were more senior folks in the area, at least the one am thinking of. maybe check your local matinee shows. it should be more widespread. i wouldn't want it in all viewings but definitely at certain hours of the day & night. it helps ESOL & kids also. that's how my kids learned to read. with games like KOTLR & close-captioned movies.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

@patrickworld 🔥 🔥 🔥 that would be fucking fire. to be able to have the close caption on a pair of glasses. you wouldn't be beholden to one language. you could do ANY language you wanted. now THAT's a future i want.

If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.

Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.

@aral i really really love this. i was perusing your & your partners sites and am now intrigued. i have to spend a day looking into what y'all built with your foundation. i love the idea of web0. and i agree: everybody should have the ability to have a small static site. that used to be the case back in the wild west days of internet providers. with consolidation and monopoly, it was one of the first things to be disappeared. we need to legislate that back.
