What the last two centuries have taught us is that capitalism is a system which exists to create and maintain oligarchy, with an oligarch defined as one who steals/hoards resources on a grand scale while blatantly transgressing social norms in the most disgusting ways imaginable to prove their power

i often think about this review

Like unless these people at the very least spend the rest of their lives in prison, that's the final word on america's PUBLIC-FACING attitude toward child rape. we can't even pretend we're against it for the camera.

Hi, I'm a pundit. I have no clear skill set and no training. My opinions are never right and much more often dogshit than cogent. It's vitally important that everyone hear me scream them at the top of my lungs.

Sam Raimi tell us how to make the perfect mixture for fake blood. “A good thick mix of caramel syrup, red food coloring, a little blue to give it that unaerated look, and a bit of coffee to make it dark... I don’t mean to brag but hello, I’m here, I know how to throw blood.”

Being British means that my face goes from soggy Yorkshire pudding to dandy elven nobility with zero consistency on a daily basis.

Newsom is truly the worst of all worlds, a California liberal that sucks at governing and also moderates in the most evil ways possible. American Starmer

Someday I will be able to stop and process the unmitigated horror of existing in a world run by stupid, hateful rapists who long to destroy and violate everything good and beautiful and whose most nominally powerful opponent is a political party which thinks it's rude to point this out.

right out of the IDF playbook

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

People keep trying to suss out the hidden politics of Smiling Friends when its just the ambient worldview of your group chat friend who works in roofing

Can you imagine how much it would piss you off if the richest guy in your city put up a statue of his butler in your favorite park?

theyre going to destroy every country that ever dared to fight their way out from under the thumb of the united states and all you mealy mouthed fucking losers are gonna stare at your shoes saying “I don’t like how they went about it but these guys were no angels”

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

Ernie Bushmiller, 1947

What's left to say? May everyone involved in dropping bombs on Venezuela be punished swiftly and finally in pursuit of a just society and a lasting architecture of peace.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Original Stranger Things was a mystery/horror drama that combined the nostalgia of the 80s with the dark reality of the 80s (mass child disappearances caused by a lack of care from adults and authorities) but then it got big and became the “80s was da best” blockbuster franchise.

The way most AI videos are weirdly obsessed with fat people comically falling over really shows you the level of intelligence of people who engage with AI content.

Every single AI video regardless of quality is like Facebook slop and it’s costing us everything. Like being stupid and having bad taste is literally killing us.

It’s just kinda maddening that the entire Epstein thing had never been more public and the entire elite establishment that participated in it is still going to their 9-5s at the control everything factory whilst we have to worry about losing our livelihoods over tweets about Israel or Charlie Kirk.

Erika Kirk has old fashioned “thee lord shall smite our enemies oh yes he shall” evangelism that’s so dated and only appeals to a niche group of suckers. Charlie Kirk had success cause he was a racist frat bro podcaster that appealed to shitty young white guys sense of wanting to be a dickhead.

Don’t worry, CBS News is completely unaffected by the new change in management.

Erika Kirk gives me Midnight Mass vibes

I was gonna say Tubi should buy Warner Bros but I just googled it and they’re owned by Fox News so nevermind we live in hell.

The reason the world is becoming increasingly corrupt and authoritarian is because Zionism and Capitalism are treated as unquestionable gospel and their natural endpoints will always be abject misery.

It’s so funny going back and watching the original Stranger Things trailer cause you can tell it was supposed to be a horror anthology cause they advertise it as a dark and gritty supernatural crime thriller and the all subsequent seasons it’s advertised as “That’ 80s Show”

Stranger Things is funny cause originally it was supposed to be a sci-fi/horror anthology but then it was a breakout hit so then the entire show becomes 80s nostalgia Disneyland and that first season is just an oddly cold and grim outlier.

"If you go back a million minutes, get to the start of 2023. If you go back a billion minutes, you get to the Roman Empire. That's the scale of inequality we're living with." Zack Polanski Such a brilliant illustration.

My favorite part about these takes is how they talk about 1Xth century morality completely ignoring that the people being raped probably didn’t like it and thought it was bad

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK

The funniest fucking part of western capitalism is all the finance nerds being like “manufacturing isn’t where the money is it’s in non-essential digital services that produce no tangible material assets” and then the economy has a crisis every few years because it’s built on illusionary profits.

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

The reason those 8 Senate Democrats folded isn’t for ideological/political reasons but because they didn’t want to be personally inconvenienced by flight delays during the holidays.

Most men can't even find the labubu

All those lines on The Life of Pablo where he’s like “yeah I should get off Twitter” “I get really depressed sometimes because of the pressures of having a family and being a celebrity” “I love porn” were like when Anakin casually defends fascism on picnic with padme

Obama if he was watching Smallville: Gotta have some good sex! And bad lex too!

The new reactionary obsession with "Taqiyya" is really a textbook example of contemporary Orientalism. The perfidious easterner is concealing his true intentions, shared by all of his kind, by smiling and being nice. Secretly he wants to kill me, something I certainly don't want to do to him

At the end of the day, I think Democrats fear people like Mamdani because he doesn't unthinkingly grovel in the presence of power, which is the only principle they actually believe in.

Trump winning the popular vote really went to Republicans head because what do you mean you thought you’d win the Bushwick vote on boomer racism alone?

Maybe it’s bc a huge portion of my media consumption is abrasive music/terrible sexploitation movies from the 1970s-80s with titles like “Trucker’s Woman” but I don’t get why people need everyone else to think the bad shit they like is Good, Actually. Have the courage to be into what you’re into!

Establishment liberals will never learn this lesson, but Andrew Cuomo is the latest data point proving that every time they run a spite-based campaign based entirely on “get a load of the other guy” they get humiliated. It would be gratifying if it didn’t directly and repeatedly mess up my life

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

It’s so painfully on the nose that an adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel about “win or die” game shows replacing the social safety net, written as Reagan was doing just that, is coming out the same month that SNAP is being halted

My big conspiracy theory is that all the anti-immigrant anti-trans far right global surge is a covert US/Israeli colour revolution in allied nations to secure maximum obedience. Every single one of these movements is Yankee coded and has backdoor dealings/coordination with US/Israel.

British Terfs really expose how UK conservatives are just middle/upper class bigots who don’t want to be seen as “redneck republicans” for holding the same set of backwards beliefs.

Democrats are still waffling about whether or not to concede trans rights or immigrant rights to a corrupt pedophile literally bulldozing American institutions btw.
