Ah, this is their take on the semi-classic black outfit.

Well, they just lost RFK Jr.'s business.

I'm near sighted in one eye, but with both eyes open I essentially have what seems like 20/20 vision. It's something to do with how my brain rewired itself to ignore the distance information from the one eye and compensate based on the information it got from the good eye.

I only know what my mom's dad did for a living, as my dad's father passed when he was still pretty young. My mom's dad was veteran, and after serving he worked in a packing house.

That's why the show is called Lanterns and not Green Lanterns.

Maybe the word green means shit-pile in Interlac or something.

Maybe they're just big fans of George Lucas' early work, before he got all commercial.

I think certain Online Dudes are particularly weird about the first Predator, more so than some of the other movies they drag into the culture war. I wonder if for some subset of that group the hypermasculine muscle men of that movie constitute their homoerotic hall pass.

Imagine if this was just his origin story and he returned with the trap still attached. Like that's now his Dick Tracy villain style offputting deformity, his new signature like Joker's smile.

Yeah. One was overly selfconscious about "selling out", even if that in itself was just posturing. The other would readily admit that they would sell out in a heartbeat and made a virtue out of it. Doesn't take a genius to see which one corporate media is going to favor.

I defy the seeming conventional wisdom that the only interesting part of a relationship is the build up and the beginning. That part bores me, and I don't care how a couple met. I like established relationships, and a functioning partnership. In media res is the way to go.

The sky above the port was the color of woke, tuned to a non-binary channel.

I guess, if I have to.

There's been a definite vibe shift lately. I think everyone's just a little on edge.

There is no end to people that will throw fists over this one.

I've never known a traditional white trash Kid Rock fan. Plenty of suburban or suburban adjacent, at best lower middle class office worker types. All would have words with you if you called them white trash, unless in an ironic hipster fashion. All a bit chudy in their own ways.

Every night Lindsey Graham goes home and lights a candle so his candle bound ghost dom, John McCain, and him can celebrate the war they dreamed of all those many nights in each other's arms.

People that are cautious not to take the bait from suspected cops and feds online need to learn how to apply that caution to the pro-war media right now, and they need to learn fast. The propaganda machine isn't going to wait for them to catch up.

Part of it is that we're in this public online space all the time now, and everyone is so self-conscious about how they appear to others. It's like nonstop high school, they're afraid they don't look cool enough and so they can't stand being seen to be wrong. Corrections are seen as attacks.

It's the regret-inducing part that scares me. It makes me think they might not being talking about a hard target like a political or religious leader.

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.

I doubt their dicks are that long. It's more that they aspire to step on their own dicks. They try so hard.

I keep imagining it in 90s fighting game announcer voice.

That's like saying homo erectus survived because there are so many humans. It's pretty cold comfort when it's a totally different species. I get your point though.
