Hmm, I worry that by asking this, I may have volunteered myself to be Wicker Manned

weird that someone who’s job is to analyze the markets hasn’t been thinking about this when the president has been talking about a war with iran for months??????

Watching the original Wicker Man for the first time, and I ask this genuinely and without judgment: Is this a porno?

half my timeline is just people smarter than I am posting "dawg" "chat is this good" "woof" and/or horrifying graphs

to his credit, Trump embarking on one of the most disastrous & pointless military campaigns this century HAS made me forget he’s close personal friends with a pedophile.

remember that time Howard Dean made a weird noise and it ended his political career can we get that but for nazi tattoos and transphobia

yes yes treason etc but also can we talk about "they'll tell me things my own country won't tell me" my man, that's called "getting played". you got played

The copyright-friendly BTTF music in Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie is great, as BTTF has one of the best scores in film history, but opening with a copyright-friendly version of the title screen track from Chrono Trigger (including the tick-tock of the pendulum) brought me back to childhood.

sometimes the lawyer part of my brain just gets fixated on an incredible argument.

they will never make me like you ai

Turns out the phrase was “go woke/go broke.” It was an either/or, not an if, then.

Yeah, the Super Mario Bros. franchise is more of a Midsummer Night's Dream pastiche.

"omg did you see Rotta the Hutt? He's Jabba's son and he is going to fight the Mandalorian and Gr-" You bolt awake in the hills of Burbank. It is 1976 AD. You are Marcia Lucas, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Star Wars must match George's original vision

It does live up to the hype, but the thing that blew my mind the most recent time I watched it was realizing that it was made DURING the war. The ending isn't _triumphant_, it's _hopeful_.

Going to play again and finally save Schala. I know it's possible. The rumors wouldn't exist if it wasn't.

what has actually happened is that israel has made it so that no one cares about accusations of secret/coded antisemitism anymore

In The Loop (dir. Iannucci, 2009)

Wait, Stardew Valley is supposed to make your blood pressure go _down_??

The unofficial flag of the city of Chicago.

it’s so fucked up that when i play a horror game it also means i get so scared

Also, give the people what they really want: Bloodborne Kart

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Kind of incredible that I have not seen a single "yeah he sucks, but he is kinda talented post." Everyone's reaction is "he's gross as hell and his writing sucks shit." The only reasons to hire him are: 1. Name recognition (which, as noted above, is not good here!) 2. Own the libs

Certainly not the worst aspect of this very awful partnership, but it’s darkly funny to see that one of the consequences is discontinuing the “Citizenship in Society” merit badge.

Goodbye my baby, goodbye my honey

Going to dedicate my life to unraveling this conspiracy theory, because HOW DOES THE DISNEY CORPORATION EXPLAIN THIS??

LRT: That’s a pretty fun idea for a “Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers” type adaptation of Atlas Shrugged.

the lesson of the pandemic lockdowns should have been "the only people important to the functioning of society are the workers who actually do things" if every rich asshole on earth vanished in a puff of smoke tomorrow, nobody would notice or care

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

we have to go back

YES HAHAHA YES

We are living in an era of useful idiots. The highest echelons of government, media, and tech are full of useful idiots, all of whom think they are controlling the useful idiots below them/in other industries.

I'm going be in my 60s watching the Democrats yearning for Donald Trump's presidency

Other matters discussed: Quark would be all over Polymarket

Scrooge: You there, boy! What day is it? Urchin: Why, it’s Ronald Reagan Day, sir! Scrooge: Ronald Reagan Day? The spirits did it all in one night! Go down to the market and buy me a turkey! Boy: …can I have some money? Scrooge: Of course not! But work hard, and my table scraps will trickle down.

Narrative Informative will return in Avengers: Doomsday

Chuck Schumer alarmed to report that the Baileys have begun to worship the dreaded Pah-wraiths of Bajor

I am also glad that Antonin Scalia is dead

Can’t believe NBC fired her

its funny to consider that this regime comprises some of the most twitter-addicted people the world has ever produced. i mean they have it so much worse than anyone you've ever known. it runs their lives. glinner levels. and it's 2026! they'e mostly performing for bots and foreign scammers

Next Superbowl halftime should include a recreation of the confederate surrender at Appomattox while Jefferson Davis flees the scene dressed as an old lady.

Treating Muppets as real people transcends political viewpoints, it's the one thing we all agree on, you love to see it

All I wanted was to see the Patriots eat shit, and so it was a good night

I’m convinced I could have made Jurassic Park work… but not like this. Not like this.

Every pro-AI argument is some variation of this. (This is also every transphobe's argument against letting trans women compete in sports.)
