That was excellent, I love shoegaze.

One of the reasons season 4 of The Boys was such a massive disappointment is that it has effectively killed any interest I have in any of the spin-offs. Which is an impressive feat, because I actually liked Gen V.

This is not a shitpost. Politics need to stop leaking into shitposting and meme subs.

You have a point. I’ve been wondering just how senate Democrats could possibly approve all these wildly incompetent boobs to these powerful positions. Maybe they want the worst people possible in these positions so that this administration implodes on itself.

But that could be giving them too much credit. It would mean they weren’t entirely spineless…

Yam tits! That is genuinely a new one for me. Excellent.

I’ll never, as long as I may live, get over the utter embarrassment of being born and raised in a country who could support that maniac. I suppose the worst thing I could do is leave. The only way to alleviate my shame is to stay and keep voting for the least insane option.

I love Bossk. Their transitions from metal to post rock and back are phenomenal.

I’m autistic and trying to figure out if autism is an at-risk minority group. It doesn’t help that I was extremely vocal on Reddit about how much I hate Trump and Musk. I deleted my account, but Reddit is now a fascist platform and would likely turn over my posts and email address to this administration without a second thought.

I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure if I could even leave at all, with my debilitating anxiety and trauma.

Making paper out of trees is one of the dumbest things our species does. Paper can be made out of fast growing plants like hemp and bamboo, yet we’re making it out of the SLOWEST growing plants in existence? Make it make sense.

In the early days of the USA, wealthy land owners lobbied the government to make hemp illegal to grow because they knew that using the trees on their land was an inefficient way to make paper, but it made them money. Hemp was a threat, and so these greedy short-sighted capitalists made it illegal to grow.

Sweden should learn from our mistakes and grow hemp.

I was feeling all combative and shit because the title promised me plural owls and the post only contained owl. But the images in the comments have satiated me… for now.

Carry on. These are some high quality birds.

Fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply that we’re as good as the French at protesting. I don’t think anyone is. They are the world champion protestors. I wonder what platform they use to organize.

Yes, I covered that in my comment.

Are you saying that if the people organizing the event aren’t members of Congress, that they will be targeted and vanish? That’s a scary thought. Perhaps the leaders should be kept anonymous.

I would argue that we are. 21,000 in Paris is very similar to 34,000 in Denver. The thing us Americans need to get better at is organizing ourselves. We shouldn’t require leaders like Bernie Sanders and AOC to get us to show up. The regular people of France are amazing at protesting on their own, and we desperately need that kind of energy.

This is one of those comments where I didn’t realize how badly I needed to read it until I did. This kind of support from the countries our dictator is actively alienating is extremely beneficial for morale. Thanks!

lol

Deal with it? You mean, like, primary you and the 9 other simps who voted for this bill? Okay. That’s good advice, thanks Fetterman.

Aww yes, the “I saw a bad horror movie so it’s all bad and needs to go away” schtick. Horror as a genre tends to have a larger number of bad movies in it because they are notoriously cheap to produce. But being cheap is part of the reason the genre has so much charm amongst its fans, and also how it sometimes attracts genuine talent.

Horror makes up 90% of the movies I watch. If people can’t find good horror, that’s on them. It does exist.

Last Week Tonight did a story about dollar stores:

Yeah, they’re as bad as you’d expect.

I hope you’re right. Zelenskyy not being a politician probably helped him win an election in a country with a history of corruption. People were sick of the status quo and picked an outsider in the hopes it would improve things. It would be great if that happened here. (I don’t consider Trump an outsider, that was just part of the grift)

Part of the reason it can be annoying when people keep suggesting Stewart run for office is that it distracts from actual candidates who are willing to run. And false optimism isn’t exactly a good strategy in times like these.

I would love to be proven wrong, though.

I do. It doesn’t change what he has said repeatedly: he has no interest in running for office.
