happy thanksgiving week to the people who don’t feel like there’s much to be thankful for. i hope the world gives you something extra extra good to be thankful for.
Doing homework last minute since one of my teachers thought it would be a great idea to make homework due the same day we return from break
Waking up a little before 4 am even if I have school was worth it even if i got 3 hours of sleep
just saw that video of james vowles laughing at Alex for going to a temple to pray about his bad luck race streak and I’m so heartbroken for him. POC and their connection to spirituality is such a sensitive topic to me and Lewis already gets a lot of hate for his beliefs, the criticism around nonwestern religions is even more racist/xenophobic and that makes me so sad. No one should be laughed at for their beliefs especially by their boss in front of the press. Alex took it in stride but I’m so sad that’s so upsetting.
Maybe I’m over thinking things but it feels like a lot of what determines if someone gets labeled a pay driver or not is race
Off the top of my head the drivers that are called pay drivers currently on the grid are Lance stroll, Checo Perez, Zhou Gaunyu, and Yuki Tsunoda. When Lando Norris’ dad has paid a lot to McLaren during Norris early career, Ollie Bearman’s dad currently sponsors him, Liam Lawson’s career was funded by New Zealand companies, etc, but none of these drivers are ever called pay drivers.
The same level of scrutiny surrounding how driver’s of color fund their seats/careers is not applied for most white drivers, especially if theyre anglos
And even when it is true that a driver is a pay driver, like Lance Stroll, I still find it icky that around 80% of things said about Lance Stroll, the only Jewish driver on the grid, is about how wealthy his family is.
Like the amount of things I have seen people say about her is crazy. I have seen so many people that are like 25 or older say so many rude things about her within at least 2 hours of the video of her possibly sitting on the guy. Like these people don't have other things that are more important than a 16 and 17 year olds relationship. I have also seen several people happy and hating on her because they think they have a chance to be in a relationship with him. Like if she was cheating that is bad but it doesn't mean that she deserves those types of comments and we don't know if they were still together when that happened they could have broken up prior to that live
Twitter footy incels using Lamine Yamal's likely brief teen relationship as proof you should never trust women would be funny if it wasn't so fucking stupid, if I let my relationship at 16 affect me like that I would have done a murder by now.
I think it's embarrassing that Marko is this pathetic at his crusty old age and that the driver he chose to put in the Red Bull seat hyped up on his own arrogance failed this entire race weekend.
This is the disgusting behavior that doesn't allow drivers to show emotion, especially drivers of color. They cannot express frustration or be upset, they will always be dehumanized and berated for every human emotion. Thank goodness that Anthony Hamilton comforted Isack in such a genuine and beautiful way. I am so scared for how this sport is going to try to chew up our two VCARB drivers.
Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.
I’ve never been more embarrassed of my nationality until seeing this interaction between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy.
These are the men that represent the United States of America. A felon for a president and his little side piece that I forgot was even Vice President because of Elon Musk.
A man that praises a oligarch, saying how amazing Russia is and that they listen to him, in front of a man whose country is getting bombed, invaded, and attacked by Russia/Putin, and that Zelenskyy is an ungrateful dictator for the AID we’ve been giving them when it’s been the very opposite. A man that portrays himself as a KING in the land that fought against a king for independence and freedom of the people. A man that seeks Gaza as sight for future PROFIT rather than seeing it as a genocide that should be taken seriously for all those who died and are still getting murdered as we speak.
As a American, it’s important to speak for our opinions that will shape our country. But it is even more important to criticize this government that refuses to acknowledge the determination that it’s not only caused to itself, but it’s allies and it’s very own people who are turning into brain dead zombies.
Wake the fuck up America. This is a man who’s a lap dog for Putin and seeking to set up a system to be just like Russia as long as he’s in office, and hoping to stay in office as long as he can.
This isn’t a president. This is a man who wants to be a dictator just like his master.
The people of the United States of America need to take a stand and take affirmative action. We the people must see this and do what our founding fathers did before us against the British, and reinforce our rights of the Declaration of Independence.
The United States has to wake up and realize that what we aren’t going to be a democracy/republic for much longer as long as Trump is in office.
POV you’re on the track in 2025 after Max Verstappen had his comfort teammate ripped away from him and removed from the grid and the FIA rolled out new rules specifically to target his championship points
