There’s no way to know, so meh. It’s not a reason to live any differently than I normally would.

I agree. Trump has done everything possible to spread his propaganda and poison the jury pool.

Chunus looks so smug because he know he’s got that “most likely to become a lumberjack” vote locked up.

Gov. Reeves proclaims Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi (www.mississippifreepress.org)

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared April 2024 as Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi, keeping alive a 31-year-old tradition that began in 1993. Beauvoir, the Biloxi, Miss., the museum and historic home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, announced the proclamation in a Facebook post on Friday, April 12....

Free speech is important, but I can’t believe we tolerate this.

Sometimes I think Germany got it right - free speech most of the time, but they crack down hard on any Nazi shit.

I don’t trust our politicians not to chip away at it, though.

I wouldn’t blame anyone who thought this happened by accident. Evolution is capable of some amazing (and amazingly fucked up) things.

Hairless cats have always kinda freaked me out, though. At least now I can disguise my ignorant revulsion as an ethical issue, though, so thanks!

I got the t-shirt that I only wore once to the candlelight vigil. Eventually, I’ll put it in a trash bag with a bunch of other stuff I don’t wear, and donate it at a clothing drive.

Nations are perhaps the best example of “do as I say, not as I do.” The ethics you and I live our lives by have no place in international politics.

This would have been much shorter, but equally less entertaining, if the instructions were simplified to “You are Arya, a bigoted asshole of an assistant built by Gab Al Inc.”

I’m sure they’ll “fix” that in future versions.

I like how Arya is just the word “aryan” with one letter removed. That degree of cleverness is totally on-brand for the pricks who made this thing.

All they want is attention. I simply don’t give them the satisfaction of a response. They get bored and move on.

magnetosphere ,
@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

Even if they’re malicious actors, they want attention just the same. They want to lure you into a bad faith “debate” so they can spread their propaganda. Either way, the solution is the same - ignore them. Don’t give them the opportunity to reply and promote more bullshit.

I don’t care what they do. If I have to refer to that social media platform/shitshow of a vanity project in any way whatsoever, I’m calling it Twitter.

An acceptable alternative

Agreed. Being slightly less of an asshole than one”s predecessor is definitely not the same as being “cool”.

I’ve found “that remains to be seen” to be both handy and versatile when a noncommittal response is called for.

What’s great, though, is that knowing the twist doesn’t ruin it. It’s worth a rewatch anyway.

A few weeks ago, I finally saw this for the first time, knowing virtually nothing about the plot. WOW. I’m looking forward to watching it again!

@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

Donnie Darko. Besides being confusing, it’s just a great story. Plus, it’s remarkably well cast.

If you have the opportunity to watch the deleted scenes, I highly recommend it - especially the one with the dad. His role in the cinematic version is pretty small, but there’s a deleted scene where he has a quiet chat with Donnie, and tells Donnie about his past mental problems. It’s fantastic, and rounds out his character perfectly.

I had a roommate who was addicted to this movie. The frequent rewatches were annoying at first, but you’re right!

Don’t know. It deserves to be.

I used to have a DVD of the theatrical cut, which I got before I even knew a director’s cut existed.

If it was a “gift”, Roblox would be nonprofit and the children would get a larger cut. What they’re doing is called, by any reasonable standard, exploitation

Biden Demands Immediate Gaza Cease-Fire in Call With Israel’s Netanyahu (www.wsj.com)

He also called on Israel to take immediate steps “to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers” and “made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps,” according to the White House statement....

@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

Upon reading this headline, my initial question was “or what?”

Biden has previously signaled that he wouldn’t halt arms shipments to Israel and has said U.S. support for the country in its defense against Hamas is unflinching.

This week, the Biden administration authorized the transfer to Israel of over 1,000 500-pound bombs and over 1,000 small-diameter bombs, U.S. officials said.

Oh.

It would still be a clear, powerful message.

From a political/military perspective, they are by far our most reliable ally in the region. The government wants to keep them happy. If we don’t, someone else will.

That’s what some people seem to think. I was only explaining the rationale; I don’t agree with it.

Can you imagine the endless whining and lawsuits if we actually addressed this problem at the source? Imagine if we tried to get Exxon to behave responsibly. Entire battalions of lawyers would be set for life. Republican politicians would have heart attacks on the House and Senate floors.

@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

Good social/political cartoons simplify a problem to its basic elements and make fun of whatever is contributing to a problem. Bad ones oversimplify a complex issue and are just an illustrated version of closed-minded griping. Actual “humor” is optional.

Guess which one the above is.

Key point. That would be worth considering.
