So not everything then. Great, we kinda figured as much!

Going over old Discord DMs sometimes reveals the most fascinatingly deranged things.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

BlueSky is a very odd website: full of progressive liberals who are lukewarm on the concept of democracy, and who call for republican baptisms on rural America but point out the logistical difficulties of getting rural Americans to move to the cities because they have families in the country.

We're being told "you have no value thanks to this machine" and are expected to appreciate said machine.

Shouldn't the fact that the President is accused of violently raping a 13 year old and DOJ covered it up the biggest political scandal in US history? www.thedailybeast.com/doj-sources-...

speaking as someone whose tax burden would be zeroed out by Cory Booker’s plan it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard and he should be laughed out the room for having proposed it

Nice argument. Unfortunately, I have already depicted myself as the assured and laughing head of FDR and you as the screaming and infantile Adolf Hitler

Two people who never met, will never meet, opposite sides of the country, had the same rehearsed fall-back lines about why they’re never breaking with the Rs. It felt supernatural in how similar the exchanges unfolded. Brainrot. Facebook & IG Brainrot.

Yeah I strongly dislike the left anti tax movement. There's no having a society just on the back of soaking the rich, even people far lower down the inequality ladder have to contribute. That's fine. We're all in this together.

I can only posit that those people forgot objective reality exists and not everything is Washington DC cave allegory imperial court kabuki.

It's genuinely incredible how "listens to what Trump says and interprets it as a policy goal" puts you in the top 5% of Trump understanders

Hug your loved ones. You never know when it's their time. You never know when it's yours, either.

"Surely the men of Petrograd would not dare riot over the lack of bread!"

All my favorite movies are from the 1970s, I can't wait to live out my fantasy of being Harry Moseby from "Night Moves," because the point of that movie was that his life is awesome, right?

There is no such thing as Tehran Square. He's thinking of a place is....wait for it....Egypt

I mean I'm tacitly rooting for Petro, but according to Reuters turnout for elections in Colombia tonight was fairly low, which I don't think is a good sign.

A lot of this is ass covering, but still pretty telling that *Lindsay Graham* is trying to pump the brakes on Bibi's total state collapse train.

I think it’s bad that Trump is letting genocidaire Benjamin Netanyahu literally dictate American foreign policy, this is why I voted for Kamala Harris, who wouldn’t have done that

in retrospect, the Gamestop moment was a mistake

I am coming to the conclusion that the preferred form of government among the average BlueSkyer is "Starship Troopers but for people with graduate degrees instead of soldiers."

It is extraordinary that the most anti-democratic movement in modern American history, which has never won a majority of the American people's support, has inspired a number of people on here to decide the solution is to ban universal suffrage.

One of the funny quirks of Houston's history is the times of its greatest booms and most rapid expansions occurred while the rest of the country was mired in economic stagnation. Houston -- America's lower intestinal parasite. -OS

Let us denounce the old world! Let us shake its dust from our feet! We are enemies to the golden idols, We detest the Imperial palace! Happy International Women's/February Revolution Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NBO...

The first two countries to adopt DST were Imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary. Kaiser Wilhelm extends his cold, dead hand from the pits of Hell every March to steal your sleep, and as an American, I say we should kick his ass until we get it back.

I don’t think that’s true because our Secretary of Defense, excuse me, War literally said on live television how refreshing and cool it was to have an ally who didn’t abide by targeting restrictions.

I have little patience for learned helplessness and absolution-seeking. Our founding document opens with "We The People." Either we, the collective citizenry, have power or we don't. This ain't Schrodinger's democracy. We have power. It's incumbent upon us all to seize it. Many hands=light work!

in honor of international women’s day, who are the women of your letterboxd top four?

The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention. But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. https://wapo.st/4lbpGYC

Quote skeet with a gif of a powerful woman.

It’s profoundly weird to have “The Troops” be this ephemeral, elusive concept that demands deference in all seasons no matter what. It feels Prussian.

Also, the rest of the horrors aside, it honestly feels embarrassing to see it called "Epic Fury" and see the person killed referred to as "a fallen warrior." Fully going along with Hegseth's LARPing.

“The sky over Tehran is black. Like the night sky…” a friend “i cannot breath, I am breathing through a wet towel”. My mum 10.000.000 people are being choked to death. Tehran is surrounded by mountains. There is very little wind.

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

I mean the thing is they blew up a school then Hegseth openly bragged about how he got rid of all the targeting restrictions on TV so at some point I feel like a conversation is in order about when deference to da troopies is no longer owed cuz you can’t be ride THEY SPIT ON US AFTER NAM forever.

I doubt the Iranians can really effect this outcome, but the more stupid cruelty we inflict on the Iranians the longer the Iranians are going to fight, to get back at us if nothing else. It is raining oil in Tehran right now, you think that is going to make the Iranians less likely to fight?

It's very suspect that none of these people were willing to "bear witness" to Russian atrocities in Ukraine when that war started.

On a related note, I still find it wild how many leftist posters treat the fact that their social media site of choice is a literal Nazi bar with a Nazi owner like it's a tolerable annoyance rather than an abomination and a dealbreaker.

We just rendered Tehran uninhabitable, do we think Iran is going to just let that go?

This number is one-third of Gen Z men, by the way This basically suggests that this is the result of something like the Mark Robinson Effect, where less Gen Z men are right-wing than older demographics, but the ones who are right-wing are all completely insane

Having just watched every Dune adaptation (except Prophecy, literally none of us wanted to do that), I think I can safely say that the best Dune movie is Villeneuve's Part 2 and the worst is the Lynch movie. Yeah, basically consensus opinion, but consensus is sometimes actually right.

Happy International Women's Day! It is always good to remember that International Women's Day coincides with the start of the February Revolution and the end of the Tsarist state! Hopefully we can manage to catch up to you all at some point!

The future of the republic demands that 18 U.S. Code § 2441(a) be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law

Perfidy. A grave war crime.

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

I'm gonna be honest "short form video" is often supremely aggravating and frequently takes me more time than just reading. And so many of them are like a fucking minute or longer. If we're doing this, go back to Vine's 6 seconds.

CENTCOM keeps releasing statements saying thing like 'the US unlike Iran avoids civilian casualties' while Hegseth cannot get in front of a microphone without saying "rules of engagement are for cucks and dweebs"

Fuck DST.

literal nazis are in charge. a guy threw a nazi salute at the inauguration of a guy who kept a book of hitler's speeches at his bedside.
