If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Iâm not naive about this, my formative political memories are (1) the Supreme Court handing its preferred presidential candidate an election and (2) that president doing illegal wars. But I find it pretty grim that the main lesson of American civics education is basically a joke.

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.

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.

everyone was right to attack his character and good faith at the time and they're right to attack it now. Ilan Wurman is a man of low character, a racist fascist pig. anyone still friends with him in light of this obvious truth is also of low character

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.
