brostep is back??

ryan gosling's mormon genes really coming out in middle age. increasingly looks like his name should be 'jedidiah'

one of the legendary figures in the prop-mr prop canon is this guy who wrote an op-ed about how he and his "two wonderful dogs" too classy for women in the US south because he ate "kalamata olives." we quote his aggrieved essay in a local newspaper all the time

sorry to be tumblr but i just had to check that nyt didn't release the césar chávez allegations on the ides of march (it was a couple days later)

don't even like xfiles but i'm sick to death of the vince mcmahon version, so this gets the prop nihil obstat

comments alerted me to the fact that the child being described is a college junior

interdict

if you think graham platner is 'young' i want nothing to do with you

Over the past few years, I have heard *a lot* of stories from survivors who were deeply, deeply harmed by a mandate that they participate in restorative justice—especially if an organization’s true motivation to use RJ was to protect a perpetrator’s space in an organization.

Overnight: The Trump administration is making a renewed push to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, telling a judge they've sorted out logistics to send him to Liberia (and rejected his proposal to go to Costa Rica) assets.bwbx.io/documents/us...

Politico is when a German Nazi’s paper gets a fascist coke fiend to write a self centered obituary of a liberal

extremely sick of all the "israel is actually not important at all, focus on something more important" discourse going on on this website, also of the "xxxxx are being accused of antisemitism for xxxxx" stuff that does not describe formal charges

there's a male loneliness crisis in the same sense that there's an oil crisis

1 in 5 lebanese citizens displaced by israel

This will lead to AI “rewrites” that are defamatory. I say this with certainty because Grammarly regularly advises me to remove adverbs like “allegedly” and “apparently.”

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

The Vatican on Friday launched an international project encouraging disinvestment from the mining sector, in an unusual initiative by the Catholic Church to steer investments away from a specific industry. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

i don't think more discourse about how all conservatives are secretly gay is gonna solve anything you guys

It’s now officially Spring in the northern hemisphere, so it’s time to crack out some beautiful frescoes of warmth, abundance and nature reborn from Livia’s villa in Rome. Just the ticket after a long winter. #AncientBlueSky 🏺

a great mystery of prop's life: when i was still on twitter, i started posting about how freemasons sit in a circle and put their feet into pans of warm milk, with two men's adjacent feet in each pan. thought i was copying someone else's bit, but i never found evidence that i didn't just make it up

why don't you fucks publish some news for once

That McKay Coppins story is so insanely unprofessional and unethical, stunning it got published. Offensive to actual practicing journalists

reddit has invented catholicism from first principles

edward st aubyn and mike white also work well with self-delusion, but they're card-carrying protesto-buddhists like george lucas and i feel like that's its own species since protestantism is (loosely) catholicism minus buddhism

one thing catholics and their intellectual fellow travelers do really well though is unreliable narrators who are self-deluding pieces of shit. i spent a year reading almost nothing but javier marías and gene wolfe and it was life-changing. and that's the one really good thing about brideshead

with film especially, there's a ton of amazing catholic art that is art by catholics or art by people who are intellectually on board with catholicism in some way. there's almost no catholic film that's by catholics about catholicism that's any good

to phil christman's point, religion is arguably the hardest thing to depict in media

America is so strange. it's a country where majorities of people are raised as Christians and yet as soon as any of us talk about religion, portrays it onscreen, etc., it's all the signifiers of totally distinct/opposed traditions mushed together, as tho we've only vaguely heard of Christianity

was not aware gavin mcinnes had partly native american children. one day they're going to read octavio paz on la malinche and need so much therapy

Gavin McInnes and Vice dominating "the culture" for what seemed like an eternity and everyone uncritically using it as their primary news source despite the fact that it was started by creepy misogynist white supremacists

i was trying to figure out what made obama-era hipsters so annoying, and i realized it was the lack of any political causes whatsoever. the backlash shifted from aesthetic criticism of hipsters to culture war stuff when people were forced to choose a side

Ramadan has officially ended. Eid Mubarak! Hoping that we take the lessons of Ramadan into the year and that we offer more compassion to each other and commit to lessening suffering how we can.

tucker carlson talking to an academic is kind of mindblowing

Wait, this is a DIFFERENT child-molesting Duggar?

ChatGPT: you’re so right, Leto Atreides II. Merging with a worm would give you unconscionable power that you, alone, could wield — you, alone, could be trusted with. You wouldn’t be committing a genocide. You would be saving humanity

i'm not exactly defending him here, because i don't really know anything about him, but a lot of jack antonoff hate is people not admitting to themselves that taylor swift isn't that great

also, like, everyone's christian. it's one of the biggest religions in the world. maybe 30 years ago when there was less immigration there were still pockets of america that believed, affirmatively or derogatorily, that scots-irish evangelicals invented christianity, but that's gone

the reason i brought christianity up is that nobody is voting for or against trump, or even abstaining, because of trump's personal theology. that moment is gone

i know america still has christians and i am one of them, but it really feels like this guy is playing on a field that hasn't existed since 2010

someone should have taken his computer away and sedated him after 'kat abu ghraib'

is the whole on cloud shoe line a running joke leading up to 'on cloud 9'

is radio/podcasting an inherently right-wing medium

even the cold war wasn't two-sided, the NAM and the sino-soviet split did happen, those were things that happened

denial of the israel-russia alliance is actually the common feature of all the people i'm criticizing here, however they feel about israel, however they feel about russia

one of the worst legacies of the cold war is the pattern in so much anglophone political discourse of insisting that every conflict is two-sided and you have to pick a side, rather than, for instance, speaking the language of moral praise and condemnation

it's a protestant, shakespearean ending (i am thinking in particular of measure for measure) to wrap things up with everyone getting Married, but that final dune book is canonical prop content. something very funny about having that be the culmination of all the genocide and sex magic

dune: revenge of the sith is good but i want the last book where duncan idaho Marries erasmus, the male robot messiah, making him both human messiah and robot overlord, and makes paul marry chani after 5000 years of fuckboy iterations

i think the person who posted, essentially, this was a psyop sent to drive me insane
