“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.”

-Werner Herzog on NPR just now 🔥

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

The night I lost faith in Waffle House was the night I found my local one closed all night on weekends.

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

my grandparents thought the start of WWII meant the 2nd Coming was nigh; my mom and her sisters were confident it’d happen when JFK (a CATHOLIC who totes followed the ANTICHRIST) got elected; I was told it’d drop in the year 2000 (since Jesus’s birthdate was miscalculated by a few years); yada yada

I have to try this

counterpoint: the best animated films for children are the ones that fuck them up

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Living the dream of punching an annoying hippie’s head off.

I watched a video of a man being burned alive in a hospital tent. The IV still attached to his flailing arm. Someone was trying to heal him and someone was trying to harm him and the latter won out in that contest as they almost always do. Murder being so much quicker and easier than medicine. I didn’t actually watch the video. I lied and I’m sorry about that. I watched maybe five seconds of it before I had to look away. How easy that is to do right? I couldn’t bring myself to watch the whole thing. I don’t know if he would have wanted us to watch it. Some of us would want that if it were us and some of us would not. I suppose I would if I thought it was going to make a single fucking difference but no picture or video has made a single fucking difference over this past year of slaughter. No matter how horrific the images of suffering captured on film day after day of man woman child or infant being crushed or burned or assassinated by bullet there will always be someone saying that they deserved it. Often most of our elected officials and the majority of the media. More typically some random regular person. I don’t think I have ever read about or watched the death of a civilian during this genocide without someone saying in the comments that they had it coming. 224 I did watch the video from a few months ago of the young man asking for help from anyone who might be watching. Trying to explain his predicament. He was the provider for his family because he is the oldest he said. He had two sisters and two little brothers and his parents to take care of he said. He was studying software engineering he said. After that I saw a picture of an ice cream refrigerator with a neat stack of tiny bodies packed into it. Wrapped in the white cloth shrouds that have become such a familiar sight all year. “Here is the children’s favorite ice cream fridge being their morgue in Gaza,” a Palestinian journalist posted. I just looked at her bio. “Both a human rights activist and journa…

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

I hold firm to the idea that new people are learning old information for the first time all the time, and it’s normal not to know things. If you’re a journalist (lmao with a Substack, no less) pretending the NYT is fair and balanced about trans people, you’re being malicious. Nobody is that stupid.

This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.
