Sometimes the sheer stupidity of the world wears on me. Evil or indifference I’ve sadly gotten used to, I mean deus abscondit, but deus stultus gets on my last nerve

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

The most massive technological investment in history being this heavily leveraged in a time of global war and rising prices for everything = probably fine

You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US

I'm really glad that 404 Media correctly called out the "Proton did not provide any information to the FBI" line as disingenuous. It's not a good sign when a provider is more interested in playing semantic games than realistically explaining their threat model.

I just want all these senators who are Nuremberg-posting to really understand that you can’t say this stuff and then NOT do Nuremberg. We’ll be watching and we’ll notice if you just skip it

I keep thinking about this one. The levee breaking scene would be unforgettable but so would the love (and abuse) stories. I like Tessa Thompson for the lead, Michael B Jordan as Tea Cake

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

The key to Henry V isn’t the battles and speeches; for me it’s the imaginary formation of a contradictory pan-British identity through characters like Fluellyn, McMorris, Jamy, and finally Catherine (Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and French)
