Man Banned From Tinder After Someone Reported Him For Baby Yoda Photo - "Carter, a comedian living in Chicago, posted an innocent picture of himself with an image of the much-loved Star Wars character edited to appear on his lap.When the 21-year-old matched with someone, they wrote to ask: "Where did you get that Yoda doll?"Carter explained that it was just Photoshopped, to which the person responded: "No not the photo. I mean the Yoda doll."Once again, he tried to point out that it wasn't an actual doll before trying to strike up a conversation, asking the other person what films they were into - 'besides Star Wars, presumably'.  Their response was somewhat unexpected, however, as they wrote: "So you just... put a fake image on your profile? That's literally the definition of catfishing."You're a liar and a sneak and i'm reporting you. Not letting you fool anyone else with your little tricks.""

More Japanese people want to marry Singaporean....? - "Marriage Singapore is in Japanese language, promoting marriage with Singaporean man/woman to Japanese people. On the other hand, Marriage Japan is in English, promoting marriage with Japanese man/woman to Singaporean people. Both of these are ran by the same company offering matchmaking service between Singapore and Japan... Singapore men has perfect consideration to the ladies. They are gentle. Compare to Japanese men, they are more likely to spend more and pay more when they are dating you. Singaporean girls are straight forward. That's the good thing about them. No matter what, they are straight forward. So they are good. I mean, in good ways, they are, straight forward. Singaporean ladies don't rely on you financially. They are independent therefore they are better than Japanese ladies. And there are more single ladies than single men in Singapore. Which means, there are many leftovers!!"

Meme - "Anti-stalinism is anti-marxism. anti-marxism is anti-ccommunism. anti-communism is pro-fascism. anti-stalinism = pro-fascism"
This user @somelosercommie is, as of the time of writing, @someloserhippie, has pronouns in her bio and seems to be unironically leftist, so this seems legit
To the far left, anyone to the right to Stalin is "far right"

Watch House Reps hug, remove masks, close-talk, and generally party like it's 2019. You, however, still need to stay home. - "While the House did have rules as to how many people could be on the floor at the same time, the Representatives ignored them, but that was only because they could.Also, Democrats were very excited to re-elect Nancy Pelosi as their House Speaker after having had her lead them to stunning and unexpected losses in November that nearly cost them the majority.So, you can see why they were so giddy. Brushes with death will do that to a person.The Democratic majority was so thin, in fact, that even Covid-positive members were permitted on the house floor, but only if they were cordoned off behind a plexiglass structure built for the occasion."

SHEIN Apologizes (Again) For Offensive Item, Now a Swastika Necklace - "“SHEIN was not selling a Nazi swastika pendant,” the representative told Refinery. “The necklace is a Buddhist swastika which has symbolized spirituality and good fortune for more than a thousand years.” The statement goes on to point out the differences in swastikas, such as the Nazi swastika is “pointed clockwise and tilted at an angle.” Yet the company eventually caved and has removed the offending necklace from their website, “because we understand the two symbols can be confused and one is highly offensive.” There is ignorance and then there is blatant stupidity: the decision to sell a swastika pendant and then defend that decision with a history lesson on swastikas falls in the latter category."
American Cultural Imperialism strikes again!

Wisconsin driver intentionally crashes head-first into motorcyclist - "A Wisconson man who struck and killed a motorcyclist told investigators he intentionally crashed head-first into the victim because he believed all Harley riders are “white racists,” local officials said.Daniel Navarro, 27, of Fond du Lac, has been charged with a homicide as a hate crime after he allegedly veered across a road around 6:45 p.m. last Friday to hit former Marine and police officer Phillip Thiessen, 55, on his Harley Davidson... “He admitted he could not specifically see who was driving this motorcycle.”   Navarro, who is Hispanic, told investigators during a 3.5-hour interview his attack was motivated by increasing instances of racism against him — though Navarro had never previously met Thiessen or known anything about him, Sheriff Waldschmidt said.  “Navorro told detectives he believed he had been intentionally poisoned by coworkers and by a neighbor; that people drive by his house and rev their engines and squeal their tires to try to upset him; and that people make racist comments towards him — all because he’s Hispanic”... Navorro also allegedly told investigators that he decided to crash into a motorcycle because there was a greater chance that he would kill the victim than if he had crashed into another car.  The suspect also said he “wanted to go to prison” so his parents would not have to take care of him “as his health deteriorates” and so he would be free of the people who harass him"
Grievance mongering has very real harms

Strange, liberals tell us that the reaction to Hispanics killing people is to build a wall, and only white people get classified as mentally ill

Taf Kuc on Twitter - "Stop calling your female colleagues “smart,” or “clever,” or “brilliant.” It’s sexist and infantilising. You would never, ever stress how “truly bright” Brandom is when recommending A Spirit of Trust. It shouldn’t be surprising to you in 2021 that women are capable of thought."
"IMO we should never use "smart," "clever," or "brilliant" to describe anyone. I think these terms are associated with ableist ideas of competence. I prefer to describe people in terms of a growth or effort mindset."Growth mindset is growing more and more recognized as an ableist construct too. People with depression, or whose inner worlds are deeply saturated by oppressive power structures, aren’t granted the privilege to enjoy “growth mindsets” the way white-adjacent groups do."

Meme - "In S1E1, Jaime Lannister pushed Bran Stark out of a window. This is subtle foreshadowing for S8E5, where eight seasons of Jaime's character development are similarly thrown out the window."
