I fell for "Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives" when I saw it in 4th grade. In 5th grade I found out it was fake while browsing in the computer lab, but that doesn't change how I view my past self.

Paul Crider@paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com · 6d agoAll the Fidel fluffing by DSA is egregious. You don't ever gotta hand it to dictators.

I can't believe that Trump and his cronies would hate consent. How could he do this?
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 4w ago"Unlike the coercive empire of the Soviets, American statesmen pulled off the astounding accomplishment of attracting allies and trade partners in a consensual manner." This is what people like Elbridge Colby want to rip up.
