Israel will have to rebuild trust after the Netanyahu administration just like America will have to rebuild trust after the Trump administration. It’s a terrible situation for everyone involved, but if handled with sincerity and respect for human dignity, it’s not an insurmountable problem.

Superman would do that, too. Ethically, old school Superman was the best Superman. I like that they’ve kept that central to his character.

This is funny as hell.

If that was a serious concern, there wouldn’t be so many overweight cops.

That headline could have been a LOT worse. Any sentence that contains “Trump’s dream of _______ is becoming a reality” should fill us all with dread.

If they visited the U.S., they’d only be harassed by ICE anyway. Plus, there is no reason to try and negotiate with the current government. Denying them visas is nothing but a pointless “insult”.

The Tea app is a women-only dating safety platform where members can share reviews about men, with access to the platform only granted after providing a selfie and government ID verification.

This sounds irresistible for angry misogynists. The only thing that surprises me about this is that it didn’t happen earlier.

I would imagine that aliens wouldn’t just show up and try to figure things out from scratch. If they really wanted to communicate peacefully, I’d guess that they’d hide behind a nearby celestial object and listen to our radio signals. They’d want to minimize uncertainty and fear. By the time they let us detect them, they’d probably already be fluent in several major languages.

I think I’d rather have them in their own little zoo instead of being on the PTA or Town Council.

Uh… thanks for the heads up, I guess?

Please don’t mistake Lemmy for a PR dumping ground.

Who else here knows where Kamchatka is because of Risk?

well that’s just the risk you take if you decide to teach creative writing

Absolutely true. Creative writing attracts creative people. Expect the unexpected.

Still, it’s funny that this is about a little kid.

Immunity? Okay. The government makes deals like that all the time.

Clemency? She can rot. I hope her death is slow and painful.

I like it! Get a treatment on my desk by Friday!

Or maybe orcas will attack the yacht. I’d be okay with either, and even more okay with both.

And all it cost him was his human dignity and respect! See, children, bootlicking isn’t that bad. All you have to do is be friends with ethically bankrupt sleazebags, and you’ll be set for life. Don’t leave those sleazebags alone with your kids, though! Who knows WHAT could happen!

Simultaneously cute and sad

You may not like the show at all, but South Park gets away with ridiculous, insulting stereotypes because there’s a story providing context. They’re often doing it to make some kind of point about American culture.

This tweet can’t claim any of that. It’s simply racist.

If the situation was reversed, I’d think this was pretty funny. I’ll think of that instead.
