Green white and orange pasta in a hand above a chopping board

due to its image of "tradition", most people think italian foods are much older than they are

carbonara is from the 30s/40s, pizza's ubiquity is also post-war, ciabatta was invented in the 80s, and tricolour pasta was invented as a tribute to the irish football team and fans at world cup italia '90

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

Bluesky would be better if it had ads mixed in with my friends posts, and posts by people I’m not following showing up as well, also all the posts should be out of order. Also there should be more stupid little dick fuckers on here saying shit that pisses me off.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

Love how we spend >$850 billion annually on defense so that we can have a week's worth of relevant munitions.

There’s no dignity in war but it’s especially undignified to die in something called ‘Operation Epic Fury’

While operations are coordinated at a members-only, private beach club — in between fundraisers and parties.

Looks like they shouldn’t have opened up all those craft breweries and wood fired pizza places.

Woke 2 being spearheaded in the South as a cultural revolution against the oppressive Chud class sounds increasingly plausible

Imagine the kind of stuff Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos could do with their money, but don’t. They’re sitting on more money than they could ever spend in their lives

Dolly helped fund one of the Covid 19 vaccines and gives away millions of books away to children every month. Mackenzie Scott…

It's one thing to critique the leadership or its policies. But I know a lot of people who've detected to the Greens, they are not mad, and you do not. Attack. The. Bloody. Voters

This is true of some scetions of the US as well, when you said "commonweath" that narrowed it down but made me wonder about VIrginia. You realize I'm in London and I'm talking about the UK, right?

This is amazing

Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign??

Like, I get all of these aren’t super common, but surely everyone should have Zaatar and Sumac??

This shit is definitely money laundering

In most time streams the world gets destroyed because there’s no Stanislav Petrov. What Petrov managed to way shunt us into a secondary timeline where things get way more chaotic

What the Donald Trump of 2016 would think of the Donald Trump of 2026 will never be known. But they are starkly different figures when it comes to overseas intervention. A

It’s the same guy you dumb shit

There’s a lot of people I have sympathy with but all the people who moved to the UAE to dodge taxes actually experiencing consequences for once in their lives isn’t one of them

Just thinking about how that movie annoyed me so much in how it goes out of its way to ignore the perspectives of all the Thai people who y’know actually live in Thailand

The "Jason figured it out" meme from The Good Place but instead of Jason it reads "Leo figured it out? Leo?. The suggestion in the show is that the devils have done such a poor job of tricking the people trapped in Hell that even the most incompetent soul figured it out.

Leo Varadkar suggesting Ireland's migration policies may be performative cruelty #Spéirgorm

When they decided to make a movie about the 2004 Tsunami, the story was about a white family on holiday who had a rotten time.

If they ever make a movie about the 2026 attack on Iran, I fully expect it to be about influencers in Dubai wondering why they've done to deserve such treatment.

Beatles Movie where Eleanor Rigby teams up with Lovely Rita to save Penny Lane from the Nowhere Man in his Yellow Submarine from the Octopus’s Garden.

This is what John Lennon was talking about when he sang, “I hope someday you’ll join us / and the world will live as one” {image of pangaea}

I don't think I've ever seen a party so clearly declare that they're purposefully alienating their core voters.

The debate should be over. No to playing Israel, no White House on St Patrick’s Day. If your answer is some versions of “get real, economy blah blah…”, then ask yourself: what WOULD Israel or the Trump regime have to do before you’d say no?

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

He asks: "Why did you come with me?" the man said: "I thought you were an undercover guard." HE WAS TERRIFIED

Can't stop laughing at a story my friend told me yesterday about going to meet a work contact at the gates of Trinity. He went up to another waiting man and said "Are you Michael?" "Yes" "Will we go for a coffee?" "Sure." Over a coffee he realises it's not the Michael he's meant to be meeting.

I’m glad that Omar has realised that the only way to respond to insults is to insult them back. There can be no civility given to these freaks
