Watching Fisher King again and this time I'm thinking wait Robin Williams' character is basically a version of Charlie from IASIP that isn't a massively creep and idiot.

It's still baffling that the UK has to wait until 2026 for a Looney Tunes movie that dropped almost everywhere else in 2024. It's not like this country doesn't have a mass audience, it looks like Vertigo were simply grotesquely incompetent.

Trump has been extremely mercurial here so I wouldn't be surprised if he 180s on this at the last minute

A lot of them are just well-disguised antisemites which is why they get very mad when anyone suggests that the left might have an antisemitism problem, which it obviously does if it tolerates people whose main talking points are just well-laundered versions of neo-Nazi tropes.

Tbh I'd need to be able to run all the software I need without being an amateur programmer

At this point I'd rather pay through the nose for a MacBook than attempt to make Windows 11 work for me

I think more people should talk about how thoroughly Trump just debunked his own ally's campaign against Zohran.

I love how Reeves has literally nothing left so she's wheeling out the old "everyone who criticises me is sexist" line, because that worked out famously well when Hillary tried it.

At this point it feels like Netanyahu's coalition partners are going to keep telling him "if you honour that ceasefire this coalition is over" and he wants to stay in power so badly that he'll cave every single time.

Remind me again why we need columnists?

It's extremely depressing that anime went from a more obscure medium to front and center mainstream during my lifetime, but this translated to the medium transitioning from "for fans by fans" to pure exploitative capitalism with us as the captive audience

Suddenly Zack Polanski's "we need an alternative to NATO" idea doesn't sound unreasonable anymore doesn't it? (it was never unreasonable, the media just performatively rages against anything that isn't "I love NATO and Trident, west is best").

Let's be real the fact that you see a Labour home secretary say shit like this is itself the natural consequence of a Labour party that decided it only cares about not looking "woke" or left-wing. The end result is that it not only becomes a right-wing party but a parody of one.

*treated the medium

At this point old-fashioned fansubbing would be better. They sometimes got it wrong but at least they were actual fans who showed the medium with any amount of respect.

You'll be on it for like 300 hours lol

Amazing how a lot of us bought a console that was basically the same as the PS3 except it was American, meaning it randomly bricked up because American corpos can't into quality control (I love how the red ring of death just got memory-holed after 2008).

Jason and the Argonauts (1963). Stop motion effects by Ray Harryhausen. Brilliant creepy score by Bernard Herrmann

This raises the worrying prospect that overwhelming media power in Britain could be concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of very wealthy, extremely nasty and very right wing crackpots who will use it for malignant ends

I mean a large part of the problem is that a lot of what passes for the mainstream centre-left in most democracies has basically no morals or underlying values whatsoever, and it's that lack of any guiding principles other than "we have to stop the cheetoh man" that turns them into suckers.

She wanted to run for senate. Trump wouldn’t let her. She knows she has no path to higher office through MAGA. She’s been getting popular with the left cause you’re all a bunch of fucking suckers. And she taking advantage of the moment to make a noisy step and gain more attention.

MAGA as soon as they find out that their guy actually is in the cabal they've been raging against.

Or alternatively Zohran figured out that Trump is dumb

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

Launch all bigots into the sun.

Trump for Zohran in the Zohran type style
