There are people paying for Netflix. They get more ads than Youtube. Which is free.

So I watched one and a half episode of The Pitt last night, and I am still exhausted. How did people watch a whole season of this?

The last newsletter post of the year. chapra.blog/somethings-g... #writing

theres a MAGA hat guy who comes to our store a lot and he always genders me correctly, corrects other people and keeps telling me "god loves you" a lot going on here.

Seems like a basic failure that the internet refuses to tell you where a movie is streaming. Netflix is not streaming this movie!!

remember when we all tried to migrate to mastodon that one time and then the people there were really preachy and hostile to us? that's some of you here right now

If you ever wonder why I don’t talk about HP at all, here’s why. I still find folks who don’t realize what a horrible person Rowling is and the harm that she does with the money from the franchise, so it never hurts to educate.

No Time to Stress Out Maaaaaaaaan

This is akin to asking “how did Jesus die for the sins of people who weren’t even born yet?” The answer is the infinite now theory, which posits that the flinstones were capable of experiencing all time in the universe simultaneously

Today is my birthday. So I wrote a birthday post. chapra.blog/the-birthday... #writing

It's a toss up between Shadow of Mordor or Tropical Freeze. Though I played Tropical Freeze on switch like 2 years ago.

Posted a Newsletter post again: chapra.blog/somethings-k... In which I talk about Dostoevsky, why writing things down is important and the comedy classic My Cousin Vinny. #writing

The fuck did I just read?

My toxic trait is that I keep reading unionized as "un-ionized" first, and I wish I could stop.

What kind of ass backwards shit is this? Real people are dying. Any sane leadership would want the war to end. Not that Trump's leadership is sane. Broken Clock and all that...

My bad. But still...

Smile was not really a happy movie. Talk about misleading titles.

Plex Submits $35 Bid For Warner Bros.

I listened to this the same reason people watch reality TV. This episode is like real life sitcom: pca.st/yaw8t5y0

Hillary Clinton's latest Israel comments are vile. She thinks young Jewish Americans are turning on Israel because they're ignorant and brainwashed by TikTok. Given her history of foreign policy catastrophes and crimes, she is shameless 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/clintons-s...

(character in a netflix show) well here we are, at the abandoned mall. if that mysterious phone call we got earlier was right, we'll find the key that opens that safe we found out contains a map we need, in order to locate a device which, you'll recall, could be the cause of recent events, such as t

Watched My Cousin Vinny again. It is a perfect movie. And very political. I had missed that. Marissa Tomei is the reason I have a type. First woman I was attracted to, before I even knew what that was.

i really hate when we talk about books like they're shopping lists of tropes

It’s happening!!!! Absolutely amazing news!

the brain rot that people on this website have about follower count is unreal. "your responsibility" to what???

@meidastouch.com The Sumud Flotilla is entering dangerous waters in the next 24 hours. It would be great to see some reporting on this . Thank you for your attention to this matter

A short blog post about something that has been on my mind for a while chapra.blog/hot-take-you...

How do I block these facebook ass boomer memes from my feed?

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

For the morning crowd.

I wrote a blog post about how the new iPad update will not make more people use it. chapra.blog/window-manag...

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

THE GAS BELONGS TO GAZA! 🇵🇸 Tel Aviv granted 12 gas exploration licenses to companies in areas within Palestinian maritime zones. This is a violation of international law, as 20 nautical miles from Gaza's coast fall within Palestinian maritime jurisdiction 🤬🤬🤬

Everyone keeps harping on about what is a dad movie and all of y'all are wrong. None of you will ever know what a dad movie is until you hang out with your dad while he's watching Guns of Navarrone for the 19th time. Now that is a Dad movie.

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Is this the right to self defence?

This is far more egregious than Cambridge Analytica. However, nobody in media is covering this.

Anthony Bourdain holding a comically large golden banana: So out here you eat this every day? Donkey Kong: O K ! Anthony Bourdain: wow! Incredible

Hasbara: "There is no starvation in Gaza." Also Hasbara: "There is starvation in Gaza."

Holy shit, Maus is good. Last time I read it was for an undergrad world lit course, and I’ll just say that I missed a LOT. And it could only have worked exactly as it is—as a graphic novel.

One of my strongest beliefs is if they actually put this on Broadway it would absolutely destroy at the award shows and run for 20 years

Islamist parties are some of the only democratic forces left that oppose US backed dictators. The Muslim Brotherhood does not survive because of reconfigured antisemitic tropes that the American right loves. They are the only alternative.

Yeah this seems plausible to me We blame Trump, but this is an Israel-driven escalation of a conflict Kamala was fully behind. Trump might have had a greater propensity to act, but that's a minor factor in the scheme of things

hearing it's, um, illegal for us to bomb Iran? whew that's a relief!

If you are any country. Ukraine is in its situation because it gave back the nukes.

Do people not know what USAID has done to the world?

"Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon" - G7 statement. Meanwhile Israel commits genocide, started a war with Iran and has 90+ nuclear warheads!

Netenyahu has been in power for most of the past 2 decades and has won every election more or less. The last time he was out of power, it took 11(12?) party alliance. I didn't last 2 years. At what point are liberal zionists going to accept that he's the rule and not the exception?
