So, I would love to see THE MASK get a new adaptation that is closer to the source material, with all the gore and horror elements. #comicsky

I have the place to myself this weekend. I should be excited to indulge in things I can’t do when the husbeast is around, but I can’t think of anything.

Read comic books all day? Blast scary movies? Make weird noises throughout the condo? Eat an entire large pizza?

I do all that when he’s here.

Oh lord, did they really? Teaching an entire generation they are entitled to a luxury like travel no matter what, even at the expense of disrespecting another country, is very American.

Some of you have never seen NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, and it shows.

No, I will not elaborate.

Canadians who use Crave, do you have issues with new episodes of a show appearing on time?

Tonight’s THE PITT still hasn’t loaded and a couple weeks ago it took KOSK like an hour to appear.

Is this common?

It’s an S-tier flag and looks awesome, so I get wanting to wear it because it literally looks amazing on ANYTHING, but it’s not yours and you don’t get to hide behind it.

If we’re ashamed of being American, we need to own it. Sorry it sucks to suck, but that’s the way it is.

I’m not quote-posting the OP because I swore to leave β€œdunking” behind and not bring that Bluesky, but, y’all, listen to me, flag-jacking is not funny. It’s not cute.

If you’re American and ashamed of the US, start by respecting Canada’s fucking flag.

Canadians are (largely) way more compassionate towards Americans right now than they need to be. They would be justified spitting on us on sight. But every Canadian I meet here has treated me with the utmost kindness and has been welcoming. If roles were reversed…would Americans be so kind?πŸ‘‡

It’s my understanding β€œflag-jacking” is something Canadians used to tolerate and brush off, but now it is an outright affront.

Imagine if a country threatened US sovereignty, threatened to attack and invade us, and had the audacity to parade around in our flag. US would not find that harmless. πŸ‘‡

🧡Just saw an American on here joking about pretending to be Canadian while traveling because he’s ashamed of the US.

First of all, β€œhaha” I guess?

Second of all, I cannot stress what an afront this is to Canadians considering how shitty the US has been to them.

So, "roughly 20% of Paramount’s $110B bid for Warner Bros. is backed by Arab sovereign wealth," and I remember a time not long ago when Republicans would have absolutely lost their shit over that.

Absolutely. Lost. Their. Shit.

There’s also Care Bear Flower Power and the Care Cousin Call.

I briefly hopped on Facebook, and good lord...every other post was pushing Jim Carrey conspiracy theories.

Oh the enshittification been wrought.

I am so guilty of this type of rhetoric (but always trying to be better).

I catch myself occasionally talking about historical events like, "We did X and that caused Y" when the truth is it was white men in power. There are entire populations of people who had nothing to do with "X"
