if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

My New Year’s resolution is to be even more of a hater to “A.I.”

A soul-murdering scam to create a generation of dead-inside drones - if you use it on the reg you’re a clown at best and if you promote it you’re lower than the shit on Satan’s hoof, sorry I don’t make the rules etc.

The absolute minimum a government should do is ensure everyone in their country has access to food, shelter, Healthcare, and education. If a government does not do this and in fact seems to be hindering any of them, people need to have a long think about if that government needs to exist.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Stole this comparison shot between seasons 5(left) and 4 of Stranger Things from Reddit. Just a reminder that each episode of season 5 allegedly cost $50-60 million.

Little Andromeda is a cool Christchurch arts venue always operating on a shoestring while still bringing it. This year, they're $50K short on their operating budget because of local and national arts funding squeeze.

"Wait, John are you really not excited for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey?"

Remember in TENET when you couldn't hear the dialogue and the sound gave everyone a headache and Nolan proudly proclaimed that he did the sound mix bad on purpose?

"Oh yeah, he did do that ..."

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

I appreciate this graphic issued by the NZ Central Sikh Association in response to the Destiny racists for its inspiring message of anti-discrimination, mutual aid and unity across ethnic & faith communities, and also its subtle reminder that Sikhs are known badasses so why would you fuck with them.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead
