It’s not just ska, I’m a firm believer that a horn section makes any song better.

21·2 days agoSo explain to me why the women must wear hijabs/burkhas/coverings over their hair and not the men.
The ones who force it, are extremists…
And in the minority.
For example, this article is about Morroco, where head coverings are not legally mandated one way or the other.
It’s a protected choice either way.
Shhhhhhut the hell up dude.
What could the possible point of replying be to just throw that at the end?
I said they held some fundamental beliefs
And the most polite way to describe that would be you’re making assumptions…
Considering the context though, most would describe it as religious bigotry
Maybe, it’s not what I see every day
How many Muslim extremists do you “see everyday”?
Bonus question:
Do you realize you likely see way more Muslims, they just aren’t wearing religious clothing?
But…
Do you understand that the ones who are following a book from over a thousand years ago literally, are a tiny tiny percentage of the total number of people who identify as that religion…
Right?
If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights
Islam isn’t…
You’re confusing the most extreme 1% with the billions who make up the other 99%.
Far right religious extremism is the problem…
Not which prophet the extremists follow.
58 in the House…
It’s not huge, but it’s substantial and certainly an improvement.
Last time the House stalled Biden went around them breaking multiple US and international laws. trump won’t do that unless Israel pays him personally a lot of money
So trump actually is right here, Israel lost total control over US Congress. Having a sitting president willing to circumvent Congress to provide arms for a genocide is pretty “total”, and they no longer have that.
When an authoritarian offers “peace” they mean “everyone lets me do what I want”…
That’s not peace, it’s waging war on their own citizens and usually a couple neighboring countries.
Looks like the average Euro EV is ~44k and the dolphin comes in under 30k, under 25k in UK…
It definitely doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it’s a shit ton cheaper.
The people writing reviews for brand new cars have a target demographic: people that routinely buy new cars.
The majority of people won’t have the same priorities, especially these days.
Not even that …
BYDs are better and cheaper than pretty much any other EV. That’s why Americans can’t buy them.
And why Americans can’t afford used cars.
https://www.financefling.com/how-much-would-a-byd-car-cost-in-the-usa-in-2025/
Even after current tariffs, it’s cheaper than everything else.
The vast amount of Americans are suffering so a handful of wealthy ones can get even wealthier.
It’s alcoholism…
People don’t talk enough about how the people running our government are the actual scary real deal alcoholics.
People keep asking “how can they do this shit” but the easy answer is they’re shit faced by noon and haven’t been sober since inauguration.
Dr King said it best 60+ years ago
First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
Any appeasement is a permanent loss, for a temporary relief of fighting.
And only normalizes it the next time it happens.
You can’t negotiate with a group like that, regardless of if they represent a country or not.
He’s not the only one, from the second link:
It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Epstein had connections to the [Israeli intelligence community],” says Julie K. Brown, whose book “Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story” was released on July 20.
She’s kind of an expert on this topic…
Because she’s kind of the reason Epstein even went to jail:
Brown has been credited with re-opening the Jeffrey Epstein sexual abuse case with a series of reports published in November 2018.[9][10][11] She began investigating Epstein in early 2017 and persisted in uncovering facts about the large number of accusers and the pressure campaign to silence them
Do people honestly not understand that Epstein wasn’t CIA, he was Mossad?
Same with Maxwell’s dad.
The reason there’s so much irrational support for Israel, is they’ve been doing this for generations:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-maxwells-scandal-conspiracy-and-more-than-a-few-days-in-court/
This type of shit happens when you can justify any action for “the mission”, even running an international child trafficking ring to ensure foreign governments protect you no matter what.
Peace has lasted for 50 years and 30 years
You have a very strange definition of “peace”…
That or you’re just intentionally lying. Israel hasn’t even existed for 80 years.
China’s complete disregard for payments is bad…
But so is the American patent system, due to lobbyist from giant corporations like Disney essentially writing our patent laws.
The best answer is shorter term patents, it’s not only a choice between the two existing systems.
There is no moving backwards when it comes to language.
Wildly and demonstrably false
East example:
The “singular they” was common in Shakespeare’s time, went away for like a century, and then came back.
Language changes all the time
If someone says they’re a zionist, explain to them what it actually means, they most likely don’t know they’re out right saying they approve of genocide.
That stalls a lot of Israel’s far right support. The people in Israel and Palestine know what it means, and when foreign leaders identify as a Zionist, it’s a form of psychological warfare. When foreign leaders have to publicly back track and admit that Zionism is genocide, that’s a huge win
You’re arguing to not fight that battle.
I’m saying fight every battle.
Yeah, all her videos are that level.
Tobe Nwigwe makes really good ones too, but he’s slowed down a little recently.
