After over 2 years, they managed to track down a never used D1 play head and have been able to recover all 4 seasons at pixel accurate quality. What a great story.

It was nice to see Prime Minister Mark Carney condemn the violent oppression of protestors and murder of civilians.
Oh, sorry, he was only talking about Iran. I regret the error!

Speaking for myself: when I engage, it's not to convince them of anything except that I loathe them and everything they stand for. You could say the cruelty is the point.
It’s a waste of time convincing oppressers that they’re in the wrong

Can't say it's a great feeling, watching Democratic governors continue to go out of their way to grovel before their local law enforcement — who are actively helping ICE terrorize the citizenry. American law enforcement is easily the most dangerous gang on the continent.

It always goes in cycles.
Mr Mike started the dubious "exercise doctor" trend, which resulted in a lot of people with dubious credentials running around, crutching on calling themselves Doctor.
It was a lot of the same basic info mixed with ridiculous bullshit for the sake of being different.

People falling for "exercise guru" grifters in 2025/2026 is a hoot.
This shit has been a scam since Charles Atlas's first ad in the 1940's.
But sure, Dr. Mike was different...

Going back to 1999 and telling myself that, in The Future, you'll actually have to go out of your way to not see videos of people being killed.

If a man takes you home and you see War and Peace on his bookshelf that’s a red flag girl. he’s likely to have been influenced by Tolstoy’s heterodox opinions on the historicity of the individual and the causes of the burning of Moscow in 1812. Run.

It's kinda startling that the world's richest man, the world's leading distributor of illegal pornography, and the man who will be responsible for over ten million deaths by starvation and medical deprivation by the end of the decade are all just one guy. That's a bit much.

Anyone old enough to remember George W Bush's two terms in office and thinks the mainstream media isn't the voice of the ruling class, is either dangerously stupid or a pernicious liar. A distinction, largely, without a difference.
I think we have to move towards a zero tolerance policy for people being *consistently* shocked the media do things to help fascists.
Curtis Yarvin being invited on Newsnight by the BBC, who have endlessly platformed Farage and who have a anti-refugee correspondent isn't surprising.
