Unironically, genuinely getting scared by how difficult it is to create a parody of capitalism that isn't immediately outclowned by actual capitalists.

Cannot stress enough how much Gavin Newsom is not the person who will fix things

I think about this one pretty much every afternoon

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb). aftermath.site/horses-indie... At least read this paragraph:

An ideal supporting performance imo. Within the film, Penn is closer to what I consider a lead role

Sean Penn really nailed these guys to the wall in OBAA

Remains wild to me that some people genuinely want to create hell on earth

Even granting the racist, xenophobic premise here how does a 16.6% foreign born population destroy the culture of the 83.4% that isn’t? What exactly is the fear?

Depraved individuals, who revel in pain and death.

is anybody falling for this

It’s not even armed conflict, this is straight up murder by Hegseth and the US military

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!

The word for this is “depravity”

The structural issues with American politics and media lead to massive thermostatic backlash for whoever happens to hold power. This will happen until those issues are fixed. Political pundits and consultants sell people on “messaging” solutions that are merely correlative to thermostatic backlash.

Massive opening for libs to grab the “you’re a snowflake” lane, as conservatives are now emailing their republican governors to complain about getting bad grades for 2nd grade level writing in college

Hegseth is a war criminal and a murderer and should, at minimum, be tried as such

Harris is younger than I imagined if I’m being honest

Decided to mess around and make a fake Sight and Sound ballot, all subject to change:

literally in service of a stunt. for nothing

I wonder how much I could win betting these guys on whether the NYPD will still exist in 8 years.

Time has not been kind to Rogue One (in 2017 people were just in thrall to New Star Wars) and Andor’s incredible success has only made its seams and issues more obvious and difficult to move past. The film is a total mess and its production issues are obvious when watching.

Might have something to do with the violent oppression of student protests in 2023-2024

1,000%, often before a single semester was over!

when I was in law school everyone knew that joining the federalist society was like getting tsa precheck for a clerkship

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks

True heroism is stuff like this

Makes sense, the Sonic films are some of the most under discussed box office successes of the decade

Running for office and revealing a giant back tattoo that just says WOMEN. Nobody can agree if it's good or bad

These people are shameless liars who *will* attempt to lie their way out of the horrific crimes they’ve enabled in the first part of this decade. They are betting on short memories and long lives.

I know I am contributing to the problem but we should really all just ignore her; she blew her life up in violation of all professional ethics and it’s embarrassing that we’re all even getting mad at her. Just boycott Vanity Fair and move on

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

I don’t think there has been a Democratic president since 1900 who did not have their signature policy interfered with by the Supreme Court in some way

A good point, but also relevant is that these people have massive gaping holes of meaning in their lives; now that they’ve “won,” the only enemies left are themselves

In politics the most valuable thing you can have is a wedge issue to hammer your opponents with, as Gaza showed in 2024

Kind of funny how Mnuchin’s COVID check idea is Trump’s only play now. Tariffs: COVID check. His healthcare plan? Yep, that’s a check too. Won’t be long before he gets to UBI.

I don’t think this is true tbh, seems unlikely that undocumented people are out here buying up houses

Kind of odd that Republicans are openly using state power to suppress the exposure of a pedophile ring involving the president and there are no calls for impeachment or resignation by Democrats

Most of my feed is sports and people complaining that the shutdown ended

These people just do not have a theory of power and thus do not deserve it

As he cancels your flights, starves your children, and denies you the services your taxes pay for, Trump throws lavish parties for his rich friends and clients, to whom he has rented out your country

I haven’t been paid in weeks because of these jackasses

The Red Shoes (1948) because it’s the most impressive use of Technicolor I’ve ever seen

He sounds like the guys who take being good at COD too seriously

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

The Beast (2024) stole its ending from Twin Peaks: The Return, so probably that. However, more originally: Oppenheimer Tár Do Not Expect Too Much From The End of the World The Last Duel

I don’t think so tbh. That seems like a really stupid opinion and idea on the face of it, one you might be able to dismiss out of hand unless you’re a thundering dumbass

WWI was literally a family feud
