Sure, ignore his less-commercial important performances, like when he snorted a kilo of fake cocaine in Lord of War. Even the guys at Industrial Light and Magic are baffled where that all went.

I support Canadians not buying US stuff, especially fascism-funding junk, I just think ChatGPT would be the easiest and most effective place to start.

That was a loving joke aimed at my people, my mom and her favorite politician having unironically believed that about themselves for most of their lives, and “don’t be a dick” is exactly what my mom would have replied after we learned better; I think we’re all on the same page.

“In the divorce” is a very pithy way of referencing what keeps me up some nights. Whenever the far right collectively decides that the Israeli gov is no longer loyal to their things, I fear a great overnight leap of anti-semitism.

I’m an ACAB-tatted mofo myself, but I can’t imagine a better way to start dialing-back the NYPD’s worst excesses than with their willing cooperation. Genius stuff. I also don’t hate that Black families in E Brooklyn have a tiny amount of capital, glad Mamdani has their backs.

I personally love it, and love telling likely Cuomo voters irl about it. It’s the most potent info I’ve been sharing. That, and the fact that his housing policies should make the market fairer and less stressful for small-scale landlords (like homeowners in E Brooklyn who let part of their building)

“What a creative and funny idea” is clearly AI-speak. It’s the AI talking here; there is no concrete evidence of mental activity from the human after the brain mutilation.

Speaking from experience, the best thing to say to someone irl who says “Zionist” whether they’re pitching Zionism or criticizing it, is “You’re Rastafarian too? Ja bless. Zion!”

Incredibly dark times when the CEO of International Lies Incorporated can pass himself off as the authority on truth, merely by opposing more obviously hostile liars. Dark Ages, you might say.

There’s a Santa Fe, Tahoe, Durango, Tucson. Formula seems to involve Western cities named before the US owned them, I’m guessing because they’re pretty places to drive that vaguely evoke the closing the frontier. I have nothing for the Alfa Romeo Montreal, they were probably huffing spray paint.

Doing a deal with the devil obvi implies vague repercussions, but how is the military cooperation itself concerning? How is Carney accepting it different than Ukraine accepting US missiles? I’d assume that Canadian military intelligence could still keep secrets from the US.
