Maybe this hasn’t sunk in for anyone who should care but the NHS was birthed when the UK *literally had negative money*. The USA had razed us of every penny to pay for weapons to defend ourselves against Germany, Germany had bombed all our industrial sites. We still did it in 6 months. 6.

since Im on a wet mech kick come look at mermaid gundam which is one of the more practical submarine mech designs

ngl - I would cheer him on too

EBS should be dressed like this all the time.

"Got any ideas for that Beech-Nut Gum ad?" "I was thinking a circus clown and strong man sharing a couple sticks backstage." "And they're in love, right?" "Of course they're in love."

I absolutely refuse to believe the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

i remember a bunch of people laughing at a stupid asshole who decided to go deep diving in a soda can driven by a video game controller and thinking it was a shame he dragged his kid to his doom with him.

happy birthday Bill Watterson!

"I flew in on the wind like news of a secret" I gotta use that line

Kaizen Gamorra? I thought he was dead. Majestic killed him.

I've read over 50 issues of WildC.A.T.s and I still have no idea exactly what Daemonites are able to do

man the art in this is fantastic

hey Zealot I really like your roller derby gear

Blackhawk is one of those characters I've always thought should have been a bigger deal

two Batmans? in this economy?

the more time passes the more I think the only writer with a handle on Ra's al-Ghul was Denny O'Neill

On this July 4th, remember the words of Dashiell Hammett, who was jailed by HUAC for not naming names. "I don’t let cops or judges tell me what I think democracy is." —Dashiell Hammett

Being a vfx/animation enthusiast is unfortunately a great way to learn that Andy Serkis and James Cameron really suck, and yet having to remember that a lot of people don't know exactly why and aren't aware of the things they say in general.

they're uploading full venture bros eps on youtube every saturday and this, truly, is a reason to feel deep and inimitable pride www.youtube.com/@VentureBros...

I think about this quote every single day and I think about how much potential we, as humans and as a country, have lost because of hate. Our Constitution and institutions would be so much stronger right now if they were also built with Natives, Black people, and women as equals.

There is an intentional effort by the capitalist imperialist state to tie “patriotism” & sport. The power structure loves that they can dangle a little treat out there and people will still wear the flag. Btw, this is coming from a former college athlete & worked in sports marketing.

Just say you like sports and haven’t thought that much about what it’s like to wear a flag representing genocide, slavery, imperialism… The patriotism propaganda is strong & pushed on us with the national anthem before games & special military flyovers. You can be critical & still enjoy things.

The replies & quotes on this are legit funny. Everyone is like yeah this is the bad place but we’re battling MAGA for the soul of patriotism. Very individualist takes like people haven’t thought about their own complicity or generally how evil of an empire we live under. Bluesky is great.

Make sure to proudly rep your American flag gear this weekend to celebrate 250 years of on-going colonization & slavery 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Extreme backlash to this objectively true and correct post lol proudly repping the American flag is chud behavior

Oh. Oh my.

America is a country founded on slavery and the genocide of Indigenous people. Trump is America in the rawest sense. This is childlike idealism.

Everything I've learned about Ken Penders has been against my will, which is apparently how it seems he likes things...

I've never seen the movie Black Swan but every swan I've seen in my life looks like this, so I can only assume it's about a ballet dancer who is completely normal

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine starts with the most prescient image of America’s near future, a dead mall.

Real talk for a second here: My fellow Americans forfeited the right to give a shit about 9/11 when many multiple 9/11's worth of victims died to covid and none of us give a shit anymore. 9/11 remembrance has been revealed to be a nakedly political, jingoistic act now. bsky.app/profile/fata...

Just as you're going "This can't get any worse" that fucking punchline hits lmao

Trees. Trees. Trees. They matter. Plant them. Protect them.

you can always tell who was raised proper

“Floating Arteries” still sends me into geosynchronous orbit to this day. Its like… “Damn, girl. I know you are thirsty to the point of being parched because Horace Horsecallar cant whinny that horse tongue in all the right poohs but calm the hell down.

It's a shame more people haven't seen BLOOD OF HEROES, because Rutger Hauer's coach speech when they're grinding out a draw in the second half (long story short, the sport is--often literally--sudden death, first score wins) is all-time elite: "We should be drinking and fucking now!"

I can't believe the blonde Aryan-looking billionaire who came out of the country music world and writes songs about how heterosexual she is might be a shitty person

Real haters don't leap. They wait and watch. They know the true reasons for hating will be Revealed

It’s like when they held the Olympics in Nazi Germany. That’s how the world sees your flag

And if you say this isn’t America, why isn’t Maduro in Caracas, why isn’t America invading Israel to stop a genocide, why did I see Tehran burning, why has Cuba been blockaded for decades? Electing social democrats for your own benefit exonerates nothing. It redeems nobody.

You want to enjoy the good feeling the bread and circuses gives you in a pure, consumerist, uncomplicated way, but there is nothing pure or uncomplicated about holding the World Cup in a country that kidnapped Maduro, turned Gaza into a grave, attacked Iran, destroyed the Cuban revolution

quid pro quo to dominate the Middle East, which America has been doing since before I was born. His life is the product of the state ideology of capitalism. Spare me your mom and pop denialism of what America is, because this is cope
