Literally the second meme I've made in my life.
No, not even a little bit. Nosebleeds, cutting myself while chopping vegetables, etc. Can go years without crying tho
Ranking: 1. Midnight Mass 2. House of Usher 3. Hill House 4. Midnight Club 5. Bly Manor 2 and 3 can be switched around based off my mood
this is one of the things where they’re clearly doing it to trigger the libs, but the triggering thing is “the government should be allowed to kill people for no reason”, and if you’re not gonna ‘take the bait’ on that, why even have a politics?
Looks like the kind of game Jacob Geller would make a 36-min video on under the thesis that it’s a meditation on memory.
I don’t think it demonstrates misunderstanding; rather, it demonstrates conscious alignment with the villains.
So, like, as much as he’s the target of hate around here, David Zaslav is actually really good at his job, right? And like, this string of hits isn't built on reliable franchise slop. There’s some of that in there (like a new conjuring movie) but like, Sinners? Weapons?
Hi, jail? Yes, I would like to buy a ticket for one please
Man, sometimes you become friends with someone because you had a good conversation about video games and then you learn more
I didn’t stop talking to my conservative friends because he had different ideas on tax policy, i stopped talking to him because he kept saying weird shit about jews.
Sorry, that name is already taken by your mom's bedroom.
President Camacho was a good president! Genuinely the right man for his moment!
No matter what happens your brain chemistry is better than Eric's is
Representative Craig, you don’t have colleagues across the aisle. You have insane freaks intentionally dismantling everything that ever might have made this country good.
Big counts need to realize they get bullied here becausr they are big accounts and that their experience doesn't reflect the average experience here. If you're a three-digit account you absolutely can post shitlib takes without issue!
People think "inflation returned to normal" means "the prices went back down," rather than "prices continued to go up at a normal rate." So people felt the "inflation is rampant" narrative was justified by the amount they paid at the grocery store.
The good news is that dudebros never ruined shit, actually. Everyone can and should like the movies they like. Wait, they actually did kind of ruin Star Wars, didnt they
Title: "AITAH for stomping a sweet and loving dog to death?" Body: ok so this dog was sprinting towards the nuclear button which was covered in peanut butter and since I lack arms my only means of stopping the dog was via stomp
As far as I can tell, no. Google is showing nothing. There were rumors in March/April but nothing has been substantiated. If there is more recent news it hasn’t shown up in searches yet.
It's so patently top-down. No one in real life is actually thinking this about the men they see reading a book on the bus.
I mean, the whole thing is about making the men who *are* okay (reading books, drinking the beverages they enjoy) and making them feel like they're *still* doing something wrong.
I refuse to believe there's a real woman out there who gets mad when she sees a man reading a book. There used to be a time where thinkpieces came from posts, and now we're in the era of posts coming from thinkpieces.
Okay so the whole "performative males" thing is just top-down for-clicks bullshit, right? No one in real life actually thinks this, correct?
Dope
What does dog autism even mean? Dogs can't rant at you for forty-five minutes about trains.
Man, *everything's* been handled by unknown persons. Thinking about whether the teenager who stocked the shelves at Walmart washed his hands is not a way to live!
I am a steadfast "give me a physical menu or I'll find another restaurant" guy. Maybe that makes me a jerk! I don’t care!
Look, the next Democratic president needs to put everybody involved, from Trump all the way down, on trial for murder. They blew up 11 civilians in broad daylight without statutory authorization.
Hilarious that they offered Adams a position at the US Department of the only thing they hire black people for
My guess would have been "once" but cool
I do actually feel this. Been bearded my entire adult life and like, this year, a switch flipped from me being not hot to being hot.
Excited that people are saying Zohran Mamdani is hot…the age of the patchy bearded man draws near. Our time is nigh.
The first time I started watching Bride I was at work and my client started assaulting staff partway through the movie. I saw this as a positive, as I did not have to continue watching Bride of Chucky.
I have found all of the movies in the ConjuringVerse tremendously boring but really, I could never say that a series that includes Bride of Chucky, one of the worst films ever made, "clears."
in general, I'm opposed to the idea that democrats should make arguments in the form "trump is doing [bad thing], and [bad thing] is about helping the rich," because it both overexplains while also trivializing the offense. just treat the bad thing like it's bad, don't offer a long rationale for why
the problem is that "trump is doing fascism" does most of the work here, the part about the rich is welded on in order to make it look more like the populist politics that educated intellectuals WANT to have, and it's mostly not even true - trump is doing fascism for libidinal/emotional reasons

Do the Medal of Honor people get a pass?
Yeah it’s sort of funny but I’m a 100% unironic believer in that “good times create weak men” shit now, it’s totally accurate, it’s just that the kind of guys who posted it the last few years were the weak men in question.
By which I suppose I mean on the deepest level that insisting writers create characters who stand for goodness, or even making them feel like they have to look over their shoulder for failing to do so, seems bad to me. The primary responsibility of an artist should be to make interesting stuff.
Bruno Mars implies the existence of Ali G Jupiter.
Right. It's proof that sex/gender does not define your social roles within society, that patriarchy is an arbitrary system built on fiction.
I mean the answer is "they don't give a shit." Why let the possibility there aren't drugs stop them from making a snuff film to post on twitter?
I don’t insist that anyone feel patriotism, but I have discovered that deep in my heart I love this country for its possibility, and despise the Erics Schmitt of the world as traitors
This sort of ties into another idea I’ve been kicking around, that if I was an actual theorist I’d take a shot at writing up coherently: we have freedom of the id, when we need freedom of the superego. We live in the tyranny of revealed preferences, totally disregarding expressed ones as legitimate.
I think Pritzker's approach is better on nearly every level, and I'd rather have a future shaped by people like Pritzker than people like Newsom. I refuse to believe that the best we can hope for is a center-right charismatic leader
People are not liking the Newsom criticism here. I understand that He's doing some good things. He's actually standing up. He was very good when Trump invaded LA. Redistricting was 100% the right move and he did it the right way He's also doing other things that aren't good and it's OK to say that
Wasn't the point of that arc that Bartlett was right to do it and when it eventually came to light Republican John Goodman was the acting president and he defended it and there was no real public outcry?
Man, I deeply loved Midnight Gospel. Wish Trussell had chosen to keep his soul
I'm with you there! Your initial thread didn't clearly make the distinction between the softcore porn and the stuff about sex but not necessarily for sexual gratification. It's a disagreement I incorrectly assumed we had.
I also read The News* *posts
I mean it's very possible that a small chunk of Trump's declining polls are from Rogan moderating.
Even at the time they said removing the softcore porn was because the audience for it could get it for free elsewhere. I don’t think putting porn on HBO Max is a good business decision.
Right, as-is they can act like the DO SOMETHING crowd is just fringe-left screeching
They're sending out-of-state troops instead of nationalizing the illinois guard? There must be a reason for that.
Is there any evidence that prestige media covering for the regime has been at all effective? The poll numbers continue to go down across every issue. I guess we can't see the alternate universe where they aren't boosting Trump, but it doesn't *look* like it's working.
Like when they argue with you, you notice they aren't trying to convince you to become racist, they assume we all are deep down but you are just pretending to be better, because society pressures us all to be phonies, so all their arguments are to "expose your hypocrisy" and reveal your real self
Bluesky is by far the sanest and calmest social media I've ever been on, tho. Like, *you specifically* have a harassment problem (that is real and bad and indefensible) but like, Haters Johnson who gets 10000 haters a day is an outlier who should not have been counted.
The real answer is that it was Superman Summer.
I saw that the reviews were good, and I'm perfectly willing to believe those reviews are accurate. Would rather see something new, and i know I'm not the only one.
I havent seen it, and i havent because it looks like the epitome of having to have seen a bunch of other movies to know who these characters are and why they matter. Like, the vibe looks p cool but marvel fatigue is real, man.
The "i am antisemetic but" has the structural cadence of a 2017 twitter wokescold post
Is this the one where he called kamala "vice president trump"
Nothingburger is one of the quintessential American words. To provide context for the concept of nothing, consider the burger
(Chandrillian Club mix obvs)
Low-key it was ANDOR summer imo. The song of the summer was NIAMOS!
I mean, this is a problem that kind of specific to you. Like it's obviously real but most of us don't have that experience because we're not self-made lib sin eaters.
A wizard did it
Does he work in the bowling alley below frank's apartment, or the one above it.
Michelle Obama: "please I'm begging you feed kids just one (1) vegetable" RFK: "some children deserve to die. there's a healthy way to eat deep fried burgers" Media: "these are the same, to me"
This is an opinion that is validated by the RotK video game, where Pippin has the highest melee damage of every character for some reason and Merry is useless.
As someone who's read the book (as assigned in high school) but has never seen an adaptation, has there been a faithful adaptation? Don't the most famous adaptations turn the monster into a dumb brute instead of verbose monologuer he is in the book?
I basically never do it unless there's a broader point to be made. My novel has four outfit descriptions. There’s 1. The villain, whose outfit has parellels to other symbols of evil 2. The protagonist once, as wry gender commentary 3. The other protagonist's halloween costume. 4. Some other guy
Okay, my current version of the conspiracy theory is that Trump is not "dying" per se but that he had a significant health event (such as a stroke) that reduced his capacity for verbalization, possibly permanently
This kind of sums up the general attitude in government and a fair part of the population right now
People on the internet: menstruation is a natural process, and by calling it gross, we’re stigmatizing and shaming a near-univeral female experience. Every single woman i've ever talked to about it in real life: oh my god periods are so gross, every time i have a period i want to kill myself
Maybe a little bit where he runs into someone who's like "Adam? Adam! It’s me. Jeff!" and Bond is like "Sorry. I don't know you. You're confusing me for someone else." But even that is a little too much Lore, and it would have to work within the story of the specific movie.
I mean, I would never want them to make it explicit. It would ruin it if they made a movie where a guy named Adam Robertson had a spy adventure and they ended the movie with M telling him, "Welcome, agent 007. Your new name will be Bond. James Bond."
the internet did deliver on its promise to connect people and spread ideas around the world and unfortunately the ideas that it is best at spreading are conspiratorial and fascist
Like RoS' writing is dogshit for sure. In the prequels there isn't a single competent component at any level; stiff performances, boring sets, etc.
Can you name an example of a film with a preposterously long title? I can't think of one that fits that bill beyond like, Dr. Strangelove? The Borats?
I'll give menace points for being my favorite movie when i was six because Double Lightsaber Cool. Both it and Clones mostly leave me confused about what's happening in the plot at a basic, literal level that doesn't get any clearer when I look it up.
This is an excellent list. Personally id throw RoS over the prequels out of respect for the fact that it at least demonstrates some basic technical competency but i can definitely how it represents something worse and more cynical even if the movie itself at least looks and sounds good.
Marc Maron lamenting how the jock types have taken over comedy is how I feel about the entirety of the internet right now tbh 😂 Every new popular streamer or creator gives off total jock vibes now and it sucks imo
RO-RAY-ROES. Roil em, rash em, rick em in a roo
Who do you think Trump's young hot version is? Barron?
Haha, no need for the "so sorry," it's a minor annoyance at worst, just like when i hear people say how obviously comfy masks are so there must be something wrong with anyone who doesnt wear one forever.
We've been having to mask at work lately and i really dont think its the masks that make my glasses fall off, every mask i ever wore from an n95 to a cheap dispo to a fun fabric one have not left enough room on my ears for both the earpieces of both glasses and mask.
Okay, I won't, but please answer the prompt; whats your favorite queen song.
You know, i think my least favorite method is "i just love my mask, it makes me feel so cozy and safe." Like, good for you. I have to entwine my glasses in the earpieces for them not to fall out and then steam from my breath gets on my glasses and there's this gross sticky fabric on my mouth all day
Thanks for summoning this image in my mind lol
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
I love that Gandalf's power level can be either "God's favored angel of vengeance against evil" or "a guy" depending on the needs of the story and that youre never meant to question it and you never do.
Yes! Definitely hoping politics
*deep sigh* basketball or politics?
Yeah like, there are Democrats in New York state who prefer Trumpism over eg Zohran Mamdani, but I wouldn't say they have strongly "liberal" values
It's fun cuz aesthetically it's my favorite city in the game by far and also i cant enjoy the vibe because every time i go in i have to spend ten minutes murdering every single cop in town.
Okay, uh, hmmm. Kind of a toughie. 1812, mexican, civil, spanish?
