a nonzero number of right wingers will discover tim & eric through this, accidentally find it hilarious, and become instantly demagafied. and that’s called praxis

lol

They gentrified diarrhea

this is the shoe leather reporting we crave

meanwhile california farmers just bitching nonstop about what a raw deal they’re getting

i makea da panopticon for you real nice, eyyyy!

nationalize it on day 1 you cowards

yeah shitting on non-voters is better and less self-defeating somehow

a room full of people gleefully scapegoating the powerless and exonerating the con artists who led us to this point just feels very bad to see. how can you not see the futility of this? there is so much to overcome before we can even start overcoming the real stuff

Sci Fi fans noticing how we've shot past dystopian classics. "Soylent Green--how cute to think they'd want to feed people."

i have only ever heard this phrase in a criminal defense context, which makes sense because you’re always looking for a technical way to describe your clients that doesn’t make them sound guilty. as always there’s exactly one functional use case that no one cares about or is aware of

i lived through 2002 WCF, my cynicism is impervious to your gentle guilt trip

afrikaaners trying to tell me about who’s a winner and who contributes to the world smdh. ok. i wish you all good fortune in the wars to come

can’t believe i never thought of this before: julian casablancas is the morrissey of his generation in that he is simply too sleepy to sing on key

Oh my god the tweet is happening

disrespectful to kobe (leaving him out of this comparison)

so that’s not how POV works

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

Now who the hell are these federal pricks
Hiding in the senate like a bloated ass tick
Air conditioned
Fuckstick loafers
Sitting in a room full of army posters

promotional still for terrible 90’s MTV drama Dead at 21 with a guy and a babe on a motorcycle

permanent sex offender registration too. that’s an easy sell in this environment

As the present Fascist International teeters and wobbles and starts breaking apart I'm very curious to find out how many more core components of the American conservative project are plain-old foreign-influence operations

his best friend and benefactor in the industry is harvey weinstein.. he lives in and evangelizes for israel during the most indefensible period in their history (the ultimate Gen X contrarian stance!). his work is undeniable, some of the tastiest candy ever created. i also like nestlé’s products

he’s about power, control, sadism, and desensitization. flippancy about human misery. empty slogans packed on top of incredible technical prowess that hides his real agenda in plain sight. and lately: righteous violence in order to re-write our broken history. this man is a fascist lol

i love OUATIH but i cannot get over the foot porn in it. there’s something about it that’s so confrontational, way beyond his previous films somehow. he repeatedly ruins beautiful shots with, for example, dirty feet pressed against glass. it’s not cool or liberated. it’s fucking gross

a great test case in Can I Tolerate This Guy? the one i always think of for some reason is Louis CK. can i watch his work without thinking about him trapping women in a room and jacking off? the answer is no. the same does not apply to polanski when i watch chinatown. your mileage will vary obvs

phenomenal read. the skill level and entertainment value in QT’s movies is so high, and i was steeped in them for so long, that it was somehow possible to gloss over the fact that he’s clearly a reactionary rape culture-obsessed freak. his little israel two-step over the past 10 years got me there
