I loved Seth Meyers’ first joke about it when he came back off break (which is when Trump picked Vance):

“It’s NOT TRUE that JD Vance had sex with a couch. It is JUST A RUMOR!”

…

…

“It was just hand stuff.”

I’ve been watching the whole series. It’s all amazing. It sucks that the British Museum has all of this stuff in the first place, but I’m glad they at least give curators a chance to tell the public about them in their own words.

I don’t think we do, but my guess was it would be something very simple like “Pharaoh Ptolemy’s temple decree” since it was supposed to be in every temple of every size.

The codices weren’t destroyed by antiquarians, they were destroyed by Catholic priests and their cronies who thought they were sinful long before the antiquarian era.

But what Schliemann did to Troy (and to other digs he supervised) was criminal. What happened with Pompeii, similarly criminal.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They also equated “valuable” with “important for knowledge,” meaning that people like Heinrich Schliemann at Troy just bulldozed through things like pottery and domestic debris which would tell us about every day Trojan culture and just stopped when he found gold, something only the elite would have had for decoration.

Trump Calls For Gun Confiscation In Fox News Rant: Cops Should ‘Stop And Frisk And Take Their Gun Away’ (www.mediaite.com)

You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great....

You might be able to chip a few away by calling him a “gun grabber.” They probably won’t vote for Harris, but they won’t vote for Trump either. They might just sit it out.

Chip a few away here and a few away there… that might be all that’s needed.

Ukraine strikes airfield near Volgograd as Russia presses forward in Donetsk (www.theguardian.com)

Why do you think, “if you do something I disapprove of, I will cause you pain,” is a good lesson to teach a child? When a child does that to another child, it’s called bullying.

Nix was arrested last week on federal charges after Tischauser shared the results of his investigation with the U.S. Army.

An Army spokesperson says Nix has now been booted from the service.

“It’s a problem when we have avowed white supremacists with access to the training provided by the U.S. Army, getting weapons put into his hands and then moonlighting as a recruiter for a white-supremacist organization,” Tischauser noted.

I guarantee you he’s a drop in the bucket in terms of white supremacy in the U.S. military. They need to go through their ranks with a fucking scouring pad.

The commander in charge of investigating the matter did not believe disciplinary action was needed.

Jesus fucking Christ. Those people, at the very minimum, should get a dishonorable discharge. Really, they should be in Leavenworth for that. The Nazis may be gone, but they’re still promoting an enemy of the U.S.

Certainly true of some critics, but a lot of them are so devoted to giving their authoritative opinion on a movie that they would never take money to change it unless you’re talking a shitload. There are also some, fewer all the time I admit, with integrity. Roger Ebert would never have taken a bribe for a good review. I doubt Leonard Maltin would.

This is only semi-related, but I love that his nephew changed his name from Nicolas Coppola to Nicolas Cage because he wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and not just getting jobs because of who his uncle was.

And then his first film under that name was Valley Girl, which very strangely had a bunch of people who were in Coppola films in the cast.

Oh, and then his first big role was in Peggy Sue Got Married, directed by… Francis Ford Coppola.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It supposedly bombed at Cannes (although the article says it got mixed reviews), but the real reason you shouldn’t watch it is at the end of the article:

Last month, footage also emerged of Coppola trying to kiss female extras on the set of the film with sources claiming unprofessional behaviour from the director on set.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, she’s never even attempted to hide being a Barrymore. Nic Cage, not so much. Which is funny, because the rest of the Coppola clan apparently have no problem making movies and releasing them via American Zoetrope, Francis Ford Coppola’s own company, under their real names.

Oh he couldn’t possibly back up his lies. But I love that he’s so terrified of the press asking him to do it that he’s running away from them.

Putting maggots in food at the DNC and doing nothing will both achieve the same amount for Palestinians.

You could pick your nose and eat the boogers and claim it’s helping Palestine too. It isn’t, but you could claim it.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No it doesn’t. It sense a clear message that some lunatics did something stupid and unhelpful.

No one has even claimed credit for it yet. So you’re basically saying that putting maggots in food at the DNC and not saying why helps the Palestinian cause.

For Americans: In many ways, this was the British equivalent of what happened with Bill Cosby. Beloved entertainer/comedian known for entertaining both children and adults who was so revered that a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II he painted hung in Buckingham Palace turned out to have been a pedophile serial rapist.

Pretty much the only big difference was that Harris made it even worse by preying on children.
