Villages in Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan have suffered extensive earthquake damage and destruction
Not publicly, no
Catch the bus. Abandon your car
... and they're bastards?
That's cute!
I want to join your group chat - endless speculation about Rudy Giuliani's car accident? no way!
Cool ...
The fucker is NOT left ... neither are the Democrats
What an unpleasant character!
I think so too
I know that one
That guy stinks
It's a good movie
Not yet
Christ - you've thought about this!
That's funny
I hate that guy!
Wait until you discover Tokyo
This is WAY cooler
Mmn ...
I guess ...
Back in the day, they purged the Labour Party of lefties like Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott, et cetera Labor in Australia tried to do the same thing - make it a hard right party. In Australia it didn't work out (for Labor all round) and they spent ten years in the wilderness Labour UK failed
When they're as bad
Yes. This is a big deal
I don't know. I think they're fellow travellers Look at how they treat Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters It must be horrendously ghastly in Britain these days! Like when Labour turned their backs on Europe and joined the Americans' 'coalition of the willing' in Iraq
Everything gets enshittified sooner or later How do you think I felt when hip-hop turned into Jay-Z, Sean Combs, and Drake? Or rock'n'roll turned into stadium rock (although that was a little before my time)
That's cool
That's bloody hilarious!
That's bloody hilarious!
Flamin' Groovies, A Bucket of Brains (1972 ... sorta)
He was cool all over the place ... I was just thinking of him in Charlie's Angels ... The Colour of Magic ... some other stuff
That Nick Cho knows his beans
Broadcasters don't want to broadcast And besides, 'Sensible people did sensible things in the park' isn't much of a headline
I think he's scared of the pee-pee tape being made public
Son House, Forever On My Mind
Ooh, I don't know that Irish rebel song! - I hope it's a good one
Jonathan Frakes doesn't work for me. His empath girlfriend was the best one until she started wearing more sensible clothes ... That supra-genius little kid was REALLY annoying and crap I liked Jean-Luc ... But Q?! - more like QAnon! The Borg were cool but I only discovered the Borg in that movie
I think online gaming is bullshit too I used to love Warcraft ... when it was cool ...
Except Bruce Campbell, of course Europe has Caruso, Sarah Bernhardt, Nijinsky, America has Bruce Campbell
I think we're all Christians. It's not a statement of our religious beliefs, but a statement of our worldview, our culture ... Try explaining to a Chinese guy how you're not Christian. Let him explain how he's not Confucianist People have all sorts of theories but we all see through primitive eyes
If you're feeling down and out, picture one of the bears you've sent me pictures of, maybe that one waving, or that one wriggling on it's back ... and just imagine it on a rampage attacking campers in a national park Like Cocaine Bear Europe has In search of lost time, America has Cocaine Bear
Happy Birthday to your boy! I'm sorry you're having a tough day 💙
Europe has the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the works of Shakespeare, Bernini, Picasso, Beethoven ... America has The Evil Dead Pretty fair comparison
I even liked Ash v The Evil Dead ... it was ok, pretty good compared to other shows I think for The Evil Dead, they got private backers (- dentists!) who forked out about $60,000. For the remake, they got Dino De Laurentiis on board. And when Sam Raimi pitched it, Dino said 'Ok' and they got $3M
It DOESN'T look like it!
I'm sorry you're having a hard time with that guy. And I'm sorry his daughter is dealing with his crap too He would have got along really well with my Ma - until they decided they hate each other
... did you call him an arsehat? It seems to me that in the Northeast, Chi-town, and the West Coast are more in the modern world than the rest of the country Nobody invests in those places and so they're going backwards, and have done for decades now. That's where you brother lives I guess
Yes. I've even seen documentaries on why Atlantic City is such a disaster And Trumpie was only part of the reason
... rises to the surface and splutters about
I only saw the first one - I thought it was cool (I don't remember dinosaurs)
The old Wheat Belt is a crappy Bible belt - uncool It needs to have changed a long time ago
I think they were out in force because their entire cause failed at the last federal election
I had to pick out relevant parts of the whole story with suitable images to convey a sense of what was going on As it was, in my neighbourhood, I doubt if too many people were aware at all about the protests until they saw it on tv
Good call 💙
Thanks for sharing
They're trashing U.S. national security
Nice
Tim Curry! - who wouldn't want to go down the storm drain to hang out with Tim Curry?!
That's a good one
Nice
This guy makes a lot of sense
This guy makes a lot of sense
That's a good way of looking at it
ASIO didn't even apologise to the New Zealand people after the event! - not that I noticed One of the 'Sovereign Citizen' freaks murdered two cops in Victoria on the weekend and is currently on the run because they tried to confiscate his arsenal of guns Fuck! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christc...
Democracy can't work for them so they try on other tactics The trouble is that too many cops are fellow-travellers. Security agencies didn't recognise elements of these fascist cells as outright terrorist sympathisers, some of whom commit acts of terror. Apparently nobody noticed Brenton Tarrant
There were anti-White Supremacist protesters, doesn't seem prominent in this Reuters article The reason, I think, they were out in force is because they lost heavily in the last federal election and the LNP (the 'conservatives') are are almost finished. In Western Australia that barely exist
But who knows what Trumpie's motivations are - bribes? flattery? they've got a copy of the pee-pee tape?
This is a good one
Better than any dialogue ever on that show
People from the 1630 fund are clapping back ... but you know there's A LOT wrong with the DNC and everything they do And Taylor Lorenz makes a REALLY good argument www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Skd...
I'm not sure about this Taylor Lorenz makes a REALLY good argument. This person DOESN'T www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Skd...
What a lying creep!
I think I played one iteration of the Elder Scrolls ... Hubby and sons need to cool it out - let Mamma play!
But he ain't the Antichrist ... he's just a very naughty boy
My wilderness years are part of my soul (I assume you meant something similar)
That's a picture of the Monopoly guy's wife after being in the basement for too long There's TWO original Evil Dead movies: The Evil Dead, 1981 (nice!), and Evil Dead II, 1987 (The Evil Dead with a budget). I never saw the 2013 movie - basically, no Bruce Campbell, no movie
Grizzly bear - I would not trust this thing! (Photo by Rick Price)
Atlantic City for the surf?
I don't know how much of a nut he is, but he is a sociopath - utterly shameless
No way! Creationist theology says that dinosaurs were around several thousand years ago - like Socrates used to ride to work on a triceratops
It gives me the creeps because this guy is behaving like this in my own state! The most prosperous place you could think of, with wide open spaces (2.646 million square km), one of the highest per capita incomes, lower inequality, peaceful, good health, multicultural - and this guy's full of hate!
And a few thousand out of a population of millions
We had a massive win at this year's federal election - and that's why, I think, these characters are out in force (they REALLY think it's THEIR country and the rest of us can take their bad faith, except that they badly lost at the election) They want everybody to think it's their country. It's not
You are very welcome! (I don't want to have these nightmares by myself)
... and now Peter Thiel thinks he's the Antichrist!
That sounds really cool 💙 Katanning seems to have embraced ethnic diversity over the years. I hope that happens all over the Wheat Belt
It's always messed up. It's just that we're not quite sure how it's going to work out
I think so too
We haven't suspected - anyone with any sense has KNOWN. The freak would boast about these things on the Howard Stern Show!
You're right, it is treason
Sounds like a sequel to Snow Crash
Death's pet dead thing ... although he is determined to do Death's work When I first saw your comment, I imagined you were talking about Batman super-villains - then when I scrolled up to that picture of Pete Hegseth, I immediately thought - the Joker! Bluesky is funny like that: changing context
Yes, that's the plan - and they've been going at it, one way or another, for a very long time
Trumpie has always been like this
Turns out it was bullshit
Trumpie has always been like this
Not sure the photo makes a compelling case
Melania's gross
