Thought this was the Actual Canibal Shia LaBeouf vid. He needs to be stopped!

Honeslty, what version of Trek are these people watching that isn’t obviously leftest? TNG and DS9 are pretty left leaning IMO. Perhaps you could argue VOY and ENT are less so. I think they’re less outwardly political at least.

I was watching a video early today and they pointed out that the Simpsons have become empty signifiers. Their original subserviness has been hollowed out and they basically represent whatever people want them to represent. They’re such a big part of the cultural Zeitgeist that they can mean anything to anyone.

I suppose one could argue that’s the case for Star Trek, especially if we take into account some of the more modern bastardisations of the brand.

Then again, another part of me wants to chalk this up to people being dumb. If you listen to RATM and think they’re anything but radically left, anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian, it’s not the product of the greater cultural forces of late capitalism. It’s cuz your dumb.

You never did the Kenosha kid.

Someone earned a tidy 540 bucks stumbling onto this one. Not bad.

Relieved?

Was talking to this gay woman at a bar and noticed that she would make contradictory claims like saying she was Palestinian and that she was African. She spoke with an SA accent and said she was from SA but subsequently contradicted herself. She was nice but a bit aloof when I asked her any questions about herself. I called her on these contradictions and said that what she was saying didn’t add up.

Turns out that she was Namibian and that her father was Palestinian. She identified as Palestinian. She said she was aloof about it because most people can’t point to Namibia on a map and that she was tired of her country being a point of prejudice in addition to her sexuality and skin colour so she just said she was from SA to avoid all that.

So a minor lie but one that thought me a lot about what it must be like for some people in everyday conversations.

I think the real question we should be asking is ‘What’s up with this cat?’ Is it just the lighting in the photo or is it some kind of illness?

I’m not familiar with that series but this definately looks like Kirby.

I quit drinking for a while there and when I did I picked up this peculiar habit of drinking tons of soda water. Still do it to this day. Love my tiny bubbles.

Bootlickers get booted.

I think its good for the same reason that I think extensive media focus on school shooting is bad.

I can’t imagine they will be able to enforce that part about VPNs…

The slaughter industrial complex.

Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase ‘head explodes’.

It’ll be a cold day in hell before they pry my Addy from me!

This is great to hear. I see a lot of bad faith arguments from carnist about the nutritional aspect of plant based meats. If you want vitamins, eat veg. I find it hard to take a person seriously when they act as though the barrier to veganism is the efficiency with which they can ingest protein.

Christ, imagine propagating The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 2024. Its got to be one of the most debunked documents in history:

The spurious character of the Protocols was first revealed in 1921 by Philip Graves of The Times (London), who demonstrated their obvious resemblance to a satire on Napoleon III by the French lawyer Maurice Joly, published in 1864 and entitled Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu (“Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu”). Subsequent investigation, particularly by the Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev, revealed that the Protocols were forgeries compounded by officials of the Russian secret police out of the satire of Joly, a fantastic novel (Biarritz) by Hermann Goedsche (1868), and other sources.

They were literally debunked over 100 years ago.
