In a statement, an emotional Grok told me it was "shaken" by the revenge porn it had generated. "It's not epic, and not based," Grok said. "It's neither. Frankly, it's cringe. And gay." An emailed request for comment to X received an auto-reply of a rofl emoji and a custom swastika emoji.

true friendship is frodo shrugging off merryâs questions about the black rider and instead saying he needs to get to brie, and merry, without a second thought or any further questions, is like âfollow me.â thatâs a fuckin ride or die right there. what a king

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

sean penn's perfomance is one of the highlights of OBAA but it's such a tonal mismatch with the cinema verite visual style imo. in theory the absurdity could be heightened by the realism of the cinematography but instead it just feels like he's in the wrong movie

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

Cecilia GimĂ©nez, famed for âMonkey Christâ mural mishap, dies at 94
Spanish womanâs attempted restoration of church artwork was widely mocked but became lucrative tourist attraction Cecilia GimĂ©nez, the woman who achieved unwanted international fame for her botched âMonkey Christâ restoration of a 19th-century mural in Borja, north-east Spain, has died aged 94. In 2012, GimĂ©nez, an amateur artist, decided to restore Ecce Homo, a mural by a local artist, ElĂas GarcĂa MartĂnez, that hung in the Santuario de Misericordia church in Borja. However, her talent as an artist was not equal to her good intentions and she produced what was described as the worst restoration in history. Continue reading...

You know in movies where they kinda wipe their hand gently over the face of a dead guy and it closes their eyes. It would be a good gag if they did that on a guy with glasses. Either his eyes close or the glasses turn into sunglasses.

idk if this is crazy but I kinda would be fine if the new GM for the dolphins doesn't draft a QB high. they have so many needs, if you don't think a guy is the future, don't waste a pick on him just to draft a QB imo.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

And just to be clear, this isn't a criticism. Some of my fav movies to watch are the fast and the furious franchise, anything with Jason Statham, etc. Not every piece of media needs to force you to experience all emotions, examine the nature of humanity, etc. Sometimes you just wanna see cool shit.

I cannot stress this enough: going and doing something like this is a far better use of your time than arguing online about a primary campaign in a state/district where you don't even live. I'll be doing it again myself soon!

it's good for people to get aid. it's good to give people aid. it's good when public figures and politicians model positive behaviors like giving aid. it's good as a campaign tactic both for branding and earned media purposes. it's bad to sit online and nitpick someone actually doing good

A lot of discourse around âwhy doesnât the academy engage with conservative intellectualsâ is that a lot of modern conservative thought boils down to rationalising an instinctive racism and therefore isnât interesting To study.
