yeah but it's just movies that are too shitty to be permitted. gigli, morbius, etc.

also i'm sorry but the nazis were way worse than anything the US has done up to this point. the US did a lot of awful shit but it was not nazi level. that is just a fact and if you can't understand that again, please read a book

thankfully have not seen The Discourse but assuming it is "you fight against fascism yet your own country is not perfect, curious" and lol shut the fuck up and read literally any book please, christ

it was a fight against fascists and not a fuckin coincidence the civil rights movement happened next

north korea's probably the most absurd fiction-dystopia-but-real state and life's still life there. had a couple north korean refugee buddies and obv there's a reason they escaped but life was still normal-ish much of the time

the authoritarian country I lived in was less gleefully brutal than this, but yes, everyday life was pretty much normal for most people. then someone you know gets disappeared to a concentration camp. but life goes on, even with horrifying shit like that happening

as someone who studied roman history i can assure you that not paying the troops never has any negative consequences for the people in charge

i do not want to be construed with defending hegseth but there have been foreign military installations/detachments based in the US for decades, this is not a new thing. even the specific base they're talking about already has a singapore air force detachment

they know how fucking stupid they would look putting cuffs on a guy in a frog suit. it works

i've seen physical altercations when a couple uncles are a few baijius deep and trying to pay. great entertainment
jctenton.bsky.social
wonder what exactly it is. the US already does have a number of foreign military installations, like the singapore air force has a bunch of stuff based in the US

i like when two guys want to pay for dinner and there's a battle to see who can get the money to the counter first. or someone does some real ninja shit to pay without anyone knowing

i am good in the kitchen but have never made a bread that was anything beyond adequately edible. i gave up, i lack the bushido needed to become good at bread

it sounds like corporate PR, so it's either AI or someone so empty they may as well be one. and odds are it's the first

it would be cool if "i'm basing government policy on a tiktok someone showed me" got you immediately fired

the fiction stuff is interesting, i've encountered a number of friendly acquaintances in "let's chat about TV" type spaces who have a full on political belief that subtext is bad. fiction needs to have clear morality that must be told explicitly to the audience. stop the show and turn to camera

currently getting my m. ed and doing student teaching and it's worse than i thought tbh. the university expectations for literacy are laughable compared to what i experienced in undergrad 15 years ago. and the high schoolers, man. rough

the thing that gives me hope is the feds are out here cosplaying dollar store schutzstaffel all day but when reality happens can't deal with a guy in a frog suit

hell yes. tomorrow i might be able to go outside without sweating for the first time in like six months. it's happening!!
