The promise of every imperialist war - it will be short, it will be cheap, and we will win

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

Trump didn't think this through.

TENET for sure. Feels like audiences wouldn’t have totally gone for it and it’d be considered at least a perceived flop compared to Nolan’s usual OR it’d be such an insane hit that he would have gotten twice the budget for OPPENHEIMER.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Why take the word of experts and the Constitution of the United States in building a case against war when you can look to degenerate gamblers

YUP (that one with the lips is THE SWEET BODY OF DEBORAH)

Ran out of animators to grind to dust

Imagine showing people in 1996 this headline after they finished watching SCREAM

So Hegseth is attacking Scouting America for treating trans kids with respect, including respecting their chosen names... at the same time he demands you respect the made up name for his department, which he changed illegally without congressional approval.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

I’m not a k-12 teacher anymore, but my batterer, who I reported to our administration, is. And the man stays abusing. I’ve spoken to his new victims. Abusers fail up.

For those who don't know, Max Landis is a rapist. His being a rapist got him "canceled" a few years ago, but being a rapist is now viewed as a positive quality, so here we are.

When you have a vision

WIDOWS! Haven’t seen it since release but keep meaning to revisit lfg

The right will go to war and fundamentally change the nature of every person's relationship to the state just to hurt 300 people

This may have been true then, I do not know, but if anyone tries to spin this as true now, you will be my enemy

Whenever a series of releases I originally passed on, because it was more than I wanted to pay, gets repackaged in a considerably cheaper form……that’s my “Do nothing. Win.”

In fairness I would probably watch a show about a guy who flies fighter jets for fun in Hawaii, but unfortunately I doubt that’s what Ellison thinks America wants

It's hilarious that they've convinced themselves that there's a massive, under-served audience segment just yearning for more right-wing content if only someone would give it them. It doesn't exist! The people they're talking about already only watch TV and entertain themselves by bitching about it

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

Based on the crowd sizes I really did not expect this (and it makes sense they’d bring in some more contemporary heavy hitters) but truly let’s fucking go

Important to remember there was no reason WB had to sell. They had a very successful year on all fronts. The shareholders just want that bag. That’s it.

You give him a dumb prop and he’s all in

Guy who answers a “best biopic” prompt with THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW

There is a certain amount of wealth beyond which corrupt men know they can just do crime and atrocities then tie everything up in courts for decades until there’s nothing but a settlement fee they can pay without blinking.

I am not in any way saying the rent isn’t too damn high, but as someone who pays less than this for a two-bedroom in one of the largest cities in the world, I was curious and…I am having trouble verifying this average.

I have never once known how fast I’m going on a bike

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

Trans Kansan's being stripped of their licenses due to having previously - legally - changed their gender marker is absolutely shocking. A person who misses the letter - let's they moved and forgot to have their mail forwarded - could drive to work and be arrested for driving without a license.

Reserved seating is a blight in general and this is a very horrible idea

thought you probably needed to see this

Ha, you could isolate this down to one panel and it would exactly be a modern Heathcliff comic

One of the benefits of not boycotting the event

Chicago, roll out

Might’ve been able to make the point with a less funny photo

Probably won’t be online tonight, news pop-up alerts will definitely let me know if the funny thing happens, but feel we also need some kind of alert if he shits himself again
