The 3 ages: "Hey, kids, let's put on a show!" "We're getting the band back together." "One last job and then I'm outta this racket for good."

[Exit King.]

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.

Before discussing politics, I like to administer _The Test_. The Test is simple, and should be easy to pass, simply ask: "Which is more important: 1. Human Rights 2. Property Rights" There is one unambiguous, simple, correct answer. If they fail The Test, I don't talk politics with them.

I've seen AI text, images & video but this is the first I've heard an AI-generated sound effect file on freesound dot org. Surprise! it sucked. And of course the uploader slaps a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license on it. Silly robot, copyright is for human creators.

I'm being called immature for my "war is bad" stance, so let me be absolutely clear on this: If being an adult requires accepting brutally murdering, maiming, and destroying human beings en masse rather than sitting down at a table and talking, I'm perfectly fine not being one.

Carlotta: Let me untether Mackleby from the tree so you & I can ride through that exit for the last time. Falk: You’ve got the horse Mackleby tied up, not the driver, right? Carlotta: [Chuckling.] Of course I don’t have the man Mackleby tied up. He invoked his safeword. archive.org/details/tgim...

The steps leading up to Doc Martin's surgery on this tv show drive me batty. Put up a damn handrail! This character is such a stickler about health, you'd think he'd be a stickler for safety too.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

TIL that Diego Luna was a Zapatista??? BRO

I want to ask our corp's execs if we're still pursuing projects involving blockchain. "Blockchain is an exciting new technology. We'll be left behind if we don't use it in our products." "Crypto is an exciting new currency, we'll be left behind-" NFTs (nope) "AI is exciting new tech, we'll be left

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

When they say “The protesters should be like MLK”, they don’t mean “nonviolent”, they mean “dead”.

What kind of 1933 Virginia farm do The Waltons operate where the kids get too attached to let a calf be sold & slaughtered, or ~16 year old John-Boy has never killed anything before hunting turkey with his dad? Never wrung a chicken's neck? Never put down ol' Yeller? No varmints? Never caught fish?

I have no problem with police showing up to a protest but their use of violence is undermining their legitimacy :/
