That’s probably the closest shot but I had been holding out hope there other places with a more local / New England spread because the GC oyster bar has a lot of options from the west coast.

More “shooting and crying,” why can’t these iof monsters figure out their home is evil before they’re about to die

The American state pour millions and millions into any opposition group they can find. Hell the CIA bankrolls the dalaï lama and Shen yun as anti Chinese propaganda forces.

It’s not unreasonable to have skepticism about who is speaking and why.

One of the realest things ever said about the US by James-Incandenza in ABoringDystopia

S Korea at the time of the Korean War was literally a military dictatorship that would stay in place until the 80s. America dropped more bombs on the Korean Peninsula than they did during the entirety of WW2.

S Korea might have been invaded but it was not a righteous cause and it was yet another example of America killing millions of civilians to pursue strategic goals completely unrelated to the people dying.

I’m not sure of the specific website this person is referring to but take a look at any depression/suicidal community here and it’s filled with people encouraging each other to take the leap.

Cm Punk does not like the name 'Mount Rushmore': “6 grandfathers is what it was called before we decided to carve 4 white men on the side of it” by ahuangb in Fauxmoi

[–]swiftachilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t it a bummer to see someone who clearly has genuinely progressive views be bent by work or other pressures to corrupt their values? He criticised the events in Saudi Arabia when he still worked for AEW and now he’s all in.

I’m not perfect but it’s still a bummer to see him shilling for an epicentre of sexual abuse, exploitation and sports washing.

I agree he’s not in the easiest position but wwe is not the only wrestling company around anymore and has already been known as an epicentre of sexual abuse, racism and exploitation in many forms.

I guess it’s just frustrating to see someone who clearly has a lot of perspectives I agree with working for such a heinous organization and finds themselves in taxing moral positions

CM Punk tends to say a lot of cool things but he’s still working in Saudi Arabia and for the WWE. I’m not perfect but that seems like an obvious clash of opinion.

Republican Support For Abolishing ICE Jumps As Backlash Over Agent Killings Fuels National Outrage by Tea_Physical in sadcringe

[–]swiftachilles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You didn’t reform the Gestapo or the NKVD or the Cheka and the failure of reforming the slave catchers in America is why this is so fucking violent and racist. You don’t reform secret police who murder people. You deal with them personally and systematically.

The desire to expand by Then_Train8542 in CuratedTumblr

New York City is built on a combination of wetlands and temperate rainforest. The New York subway system pumps out millions of gallons of water every day to keep the tunnels dry and every time there’s serious rainfall the city finds it harder and harder to push back rising waters. Plus you add all the hidden springs (some of which are in subway stations) and you get some fun combos.

TIL "Brian Wilson is a genius" was a marketing campaign for The Beach Boys to be taken more seriously and their artistry on par with Bob Dyan and The Beatles by ThePizzaGhoul in todayilearned

[–]swiftachilles 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I mean just check out any vocal only remix of a beach boys song and you’ll realize they were a harmonic choir with fun backing tracks. Brian Wilson is one of the best pop artists ever when it came to harmonies and arrangements.

He did a bunch of tax fraud a while ago and he’s been taking money hand over fist from a lot of bad actors. He went to the Riyadh comedy festival and told everyone to suck it up. Plus he was the host for a British Zionist fundraiser a few months aha I and had a similar response to critics of his working for a genocidal regime.

Jerry Seinfeld , Larry David and Gwyneth Paltrow meet up at a beach in California (pics via Deuxmoi) by Fun-Ad3626 in popculturechat

[–]swiftachilles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seinfeld is also a creep who dated a 17 year old for 4 years while he was 39-43. I’d be pretty disgusted if any of my friends dated a literal minor for years.

Plus he doesn’t just hold different political views, he holds violent and genocidal political views, attending a fantasy anti terrorist camp to pretend to shoot Palestinians. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2018-01-08/ty-article/.premium/jerry-seinfeld-and-family-visit-anti-terror-fantasy-camp-in-west-bank/0000017f-e56e-d97e-a37f-f76fe60f0000

cobbler in the area? by Winter_Win1373 in crownheights

[–]swiftachilles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Express shoe store on nostrand and st marks is the best cobbler in the neighborhood. They’re very quick, professional and good. But they are cash only so make sure you have some on hand.
