you'd think that between my love of animals and artificial lakes, Reservoir Dogs would be a perfect movie for me, but instead it's about a bunch of guys that kill other guys or something.

"He didn't rape a 13-year-old," Tarantino told Stern. "It was statutory rape. That's not quite the same thing... He had sex with a minor, all right. That's not rape. "To me, when you use the word rape, you're talking about violent, throwing them down." "She wanted to have it and dated the guy."

I once posted a thread on Bluesky about the Korean War and America's use of chemical/biological weapons from the perspective of a Canadian infantry officer who witnessed the aftermath, and was used (along with his regiment) as a test subject (in his view). The thread seems to have vanished?

BC's anti-SLAPP legislation was critical to keeping a meritless lawsuit
@torimarlan.bsky.social
and I faced to the "affordable" sum of ~$50k in legal fees. Journalists like Luke not protected by these laws have much higher exposure — even when, like us, they did nothing wrong.

Why are we supposed to believe Jeromy Farkas ever changed from being a pro developer conservative on council? Other than a calculated rebrand campaign based on an apparently revelatory hike he did that time that he wont shut up about.
