fascists will be like The Noble Wisdom of our Ancient Past but then you'll open an actual book and the noble wisdom will be "snakes flee at the sound of the mandolin because they have no spleen, the organ of lust" and "electrum makes you gay"

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Look, Mahershala Ali is terrific and I'm sorry we won't be getting him in a Blade film, but ALSO if Marvel was having trouble figuring out how to make a Blade movie they thought was equal to Ali's talent and the audience's expectations, their decision to not make the film should be applauded.

My favourite joke on Cheers is when they try to persuade the audience that Bebe Neuwirth isn't one of the most beautiful women you've ever seen in the world because, like, she has a bun or whatever

I am as interested in a grounded, realistic version of The Odyssey as I am in a grounded, realistic version of The Hobbit or Journey to the West. This is stuff created on the level of myth.

The great thing about Britain is you're free to think whatever you want to think and say whatever J. K. Rowling's lawyers permit you to say.

JK Rowling has used her wealth to stoke the fires of a worldwide pogrom against trans people to where she's silenced a Holocaust scholar after JK engaged in Holocaust denial & now done the same to Amnesty International for their warning about trans eradication, but keep buying your Harry Potter crap

I don't believe I've ever seen ANYONE argue that you should make human art because it's EASY; what I have heard people say is that the difficulty is one of the things that make it WORTHWHILE. And I think the prompter's failure to understand that is telling.

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

Don't buy the remake to Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. The game just came out and how does the team get rewarded? With layoffs. Why should we reward Ubisoft with our hard earned money?? Boycott this shit! insider-gaming.com/assassins-cr...

what, so I'm untrustworthy because I ignored countless warning signs for months on end? because I was extremely condescending to people trying to tell me I was making a huge mistake, and am still being condescending now because if I don't exude superiority powered by unearned confidence I'll die?

Milhouse Van Houten out here talking about warrior cultures

can't stop laughing at this Poilievre: "We will reinstill a warrior culture, not a woke culture."

Among Platner's most ardent defenders there's an implicit assumption that politics is about nothing more than voting for the party that's doing the *worse* job racing to the bottom. No hope, no optimism, just voting for the less-worse candidate and screaming abuse at anyone who wants more.

Golden Boy: “Of course I’m not proud of you,” Mom said across the dinner table, pushing cold broccoli around her plate with a fork, eyes down, voice not angry anymore, just tired. “You haven’t done anything.”

Hear me out: Earnest Scared Stupid. I saw it as a kid in theatres and the scene where the kid rolls over in bed and there's a troll in bed with him terrified me profoundly, and when I told my parents I was terrified, my otherwise awesome parents didn't believe me because it was EARNEST SCARED STUPID
