particularly funny because like, what even is the “other” party for a non-vote? if both parties can say that to a non-voter, then combined they’re saying a non-vote is actually a vote for both parties at once. at which point the votes cancel out and oops we’ve arrived back at not voting = not voting
it’s literally like the academy went “eh we acknowledged one Korean movie (and not even with the acting noms it deserved), never again”
controversial maybe but it’s my favorite PCW and the greatest neo-noir ever made, top of his craft directorially and the performances are unreal. also, was so nice to see Tang Wei and have her absolutely kill it after her absurd blacklisting from doing Lust, Caution.
you don’t have to acknowledge it at all! no one goes into the RPatt Batman being like “wait didn’t this guy retire to Europe with Catwoman?”
you’re telling a completely different story using the same character, and no one in the history of watching bond films has ever been confused about that

Rep. James Comer @RepJamesComer X.com BREAKING I'm calling on the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, & Reddit to testify at an Oversight Committee hearing on October 8. The hearing will examine the radicalization of online forum users, including instances of open incitement to commit politically motivated acts. 10:50 AM • 9/17/25 • 301K Views
the Colorado school shooter from the same day that Charlie Kirk was killed posted himself holding his gun on Twitter / X where he followed multiple far right accounts
weird how you wouldn't call on Elon Musk too to testify at an online radicalization hearing
omg just realized you have in fact bought our music in the past, so just want to say very heartfelt thank you

my shoegaze/dream pop band has a few singles up on ours! ultrabloom.bandcamp.com/track/velouria
also snapped that new Parannoul side project glitch pop record so fast
I just watched JSA for the first time (I know, I know) a few weeks back and aside from obviously being an incredible movie one of the wildest things was that despite my love for Lady Vengeance I straight up did not recognize Lee Young-ae because her character and look are SO different
joint security area (2000). black and white grainy photo of a soldier interceding between someone taking a photo and the subject of the photo, another soldier at the DMZ
oldboy (2003). a man wields a hammer in a hallway.
the handmaiden (2016). four people in period japanese and european garb stand in a line in front of a fireplace.
Decision to leave (2022). a man and a woman sit across from each other in an interrogation room.
happy bday to park chan-wook, one of the best to ever do it
they also have complete and total control over the government. so if the though experiment is that the left gets that, along with a giant ecosystem of alternative media, and the right gets to whine impotently about it on major media then I’ll take that trade
Letterboxd four favs: Decision to Leave, Evil Dead 2, Drive My Car, The Matrix
just try my best to keep it real
so real. there’s this Steve Albini produced record from 2001 by a band called fra-foa that I’m constantly trying to tell folks about, like a kind of proto-grungegaze of the sort you hear all over the place now but way more raw and incredible

a pair of mugs with cute animal faces on them
got this pair of mugs in japan that I absolutely adore

great recent band out of Glasgow called Dallas Love Field, absolutely love how much the dreamy melodic stuff is coming around
fun fact: my band’s song Velouria is not just a Pixies reference, but in fact more specifically inspired by a specific scene in H&CF where two characters reconnect after a long time apart and dance at a party to the Pixies song
the list could go on and on of course but for me the answer is Halt and Catch Fire
it’s a bad thing to do it AFTER you’ve already spoken on the subject, yes lmao. or did you already forget that you saw a Korean person saying that Carter sucked and didn’t think to do a quick search on Carter and Korea before talking down to them with scare quotes around “crime”?
Japanese shoegaze scene is unreal
lmao wait did you just try to be condescending about your own ignorance??
see also: “squelching” for anything slightly wet
it’s also absurd because like, the AI only does these things because the data it was fed the work of humans who did these things. if people never used em dashes, AI wouldn’t either lol
the smug ghoulishness of those libs will never cease to astound me
oh sorry did I find an imaginary screenshot of you drawing a line between “accountability” and “children dying”? and who in the fuck are you talking to with that “voted for Beto” shit, I’m a communist, not a liberal, and the topic is you equating consequences with the death of innocents
MistyMayFan asks: “apparently children dying is okay cause their stare was the wrong color?” J responds: “Texas needs to be accountable for who they vote for”
“children dying is okay”
“Texas needs to be accountable”
you literally equated Texas being accountable with the children dying, if you’re either too disingenuous or too much of a myopic moron to see the implications of your own statements, you’re the one who is full of shit
by that logic everyone in the country deserves anything that happens to them because Trump was elected, and if you think 20 young children deserve to drown because they live in a red state then you’re every bit as much of a stupid fucking fascist ghoul as the republicans
there’s this “weird thing” where people correctly identify the political worldview of other people and, because they disagree with those beliefs, use the term for that ideology disparagingly
their argument is that the law is not “trans people are not allowed to access these meds,” the law is “the meds are not allowed for anyone for these diagnoses, and for everyone for anything else” even tho trans people are the only ones affected by that distinction. transparently evil and stupid.
