Say what you will about FC, but in terms of basic media literacy itβs working at a bright toddlerβs comprehension level, and yet
Fight Club: Hi there, the audience! This is the scene in the film youβre watching (Fight Club) in which the characters explicitly tell youβthe audienceβwhy Tyler Durden appears so cool and hot and clever.
This genius:
βOur building is collapsing! Quick, find us an architect who designed another building that collapsed!β
Seems to me like thereβs only one way to reconcile the apparent disconnect. (The pee tape is real.)
He looks different without the mask
May every suburban F-350 owner get the gas mileage they deserve.
If anything, a bunch of chuds stanning Walter White proves how masterfully written the show is.
Skill issue
It doesnβt even make sense because reactionaries and fascists arenβt post- anything, theyβre trying to pull BACK from liberalism. You could make the case that βpost-liberalβ could be an appropriate if stupid way to refer to Marxists, but not the far right
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOUβRE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.
And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.
They're slavers.
It's been in my head all day since you posted this yesterday lol. It goes SO HARD www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxk7...
I played the RE2 remake last year, and it's so good. Really reminded me what a great game it was the first time around. I grant you the more realistic gore is more off-putting though.
As far as concessions go, βthe people for whom I am advocating are objectively unable to do the jobs I want them to have, and also have a nasty history of disqualifying themselves with their own rank bigotryβ is an incredible thing to have to write
Itβs been oddly surreal to hear the news framing the news around regime change in Iran and Cuba as the culmination of decades of shared agreement when Obama did significantly change US policy towards both in pretty recent memory.
This is why so many biopics never sit right with me. You either get character assassination or hagiography, both unfair to the subjects and viewers. Even the smartest people tend to give more credit, subconsciously, to what they've seen in a film than in any other source.
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows theyβll rot in prison for it.
My neighbor told me Shaheds keep eating his tankers so I asked how many tankers he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a.new tanker afterwards so I said it sounds like heβs just feeding oil tankers to Shaheds and then his daughter started crying.
Both the anti-vaxxers and the "wellness" industry are easier to navigate, and provide simple (if wrong) solutions. It's not hard to see why so many people choose this path!
A HUGE problem too is all the friction in doing the "right" thing and listening to actual experts. Dealing with our dystopian, for-profit health care systemβwhile usually correct on the facts re: medical careβis a labyrinthine labor that will both drive you mad and clean out your bank account.
dont hate the player

and the tv network the game is on for selling out to tyrants
and the fans holy shit hate the fucking fans
Falstaff had a few words to say about that:

A lot of institutions and companies need to be printing out this post and pinning it up in their executive suites for future reference.
It is unfortunate that this clip stays relevant but for as long as it is relevant I'll keep reposting it
Sure as hell seems like youβre more offended about criticism of your coverage than you are about children being blown up. You might want to sit with that.
Yeah that meal would fix me
