Oh sure, one side is trying to strip the rights from minorities and destroy the planet, but the other side engaged in some very uncivil discourse, so who's to say which side is worse?

And it might also be good to not uncritically 'both sides' a situation where one side is mocking the other for wanting LGBTQ people to be allowed to exist, I guess we could all do things differently ey?

No difference ey. Both sides ey. There may have been some hyperbole, but generally speaking in the current climate when people criticise others as being 'woke', it's because they are doing things like calling out systemic injustice, pointing out that climate change exists, (this one's weird, acknowledgement of a scientific consensus shouldn't have a use in a pejorative that seems to be trying to criticise people for caring about people's feelings or whatever) suggesting that trans people should be allowed to exist, that sort of thing, so frankly no, they're not the same thing, and you've applied zero critical thought to this conclusion.

I don't go around calling myself a 'libtard', but I still know to disregard the opinions of people who use that as a pejorative, too.

People vote for her because she hurts the people they've been told to hate. EDIT: Great example in that clip of how people who use 'woke' as a pejorative are worthless and should be ignored.

Hmmm, it seeeeems like Ezra might be a terrible person, so I might skip that one.

Saw Polite Society, it was excellent, goes very hard. Fun action, pretty funny, escalates in an entertaining way.

Florida should love Dame Edna, Barry Humphries called being trans a 'fashion', and called people who sought gender reaffirming surgery 'mutilated men'.

A largely correct stance tbh. Bud light did a partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. Dylan Mulvaney is trans. Conservatives got mad and performatively destroyed a bunch of Bud Light, declaring they would instead switch to Coors Light, a brand that has been supporting LGBT causes for years, or any number of other beers that are owned by the same company that owns Bud Light.

Firstly, yes, put all the politicians in prison. I think some of the reasons the USA went in to bat for the ghost of Khashoggi a bit harder than for any number of other atrocity victims is that: a. A lot of victims of atrocities are 'just' being exploited to an extra degree, and the USA is broadly ok with exploiting workers, whereas Khashoggi was actively murdered b. They might want to set a precedent that it's not OK to silence journalists.

Not sure you do, TBH. I think murderers should be held accountable.

Yeah I'm sure there's a bunch of atrocities it would be politically expedient to ignore. I guess at some point, some governments have decided that there's a moral duty not to.

Newest episode of the Mandalorian was very silly. I enjoyed it, but it was silly. And weird.

Yeah, but there's a naive part of me that hopes the GOP will be able to avoid having him as the candidate of choice if he's in prison, or that he'll be so busy being in prison he'll forget to run or something.

I still do not believe in the possibility of A Legal Consequence for Trump and will not do so until he is in prison, but on the offchance I am wrong and Stormy ends up being the equivalent of Al Capone's accountant (this is a bad analogy but stick with me here) she should be considered a national hero imo. (Only slight hyperbole) Anyway, Trump definitely deserves prison several times over, and if it turns out to be the equivalent of tax evasion that does him in I'm all for it, but that probs won't happen and we'll probs have to choose between two geriatrics at voting time again, oh well.

I watched the new Dungeons and Dragons movie and thought it was excellent. Feels like it did a good job of pandering to hardcore fans while not alienating newcomers, too.

Dunno if we're taking a poll or whatever but add me to this column I guess. But then, I also find I tend to have very little time for anyone who uses the term 'snowflake' as a pejorative (file alongside 'woke') so that probs checks out.

Hello again all things political thread/black isle super combo

Sometimes the goal might be to teach kids really terrible lessons like, idk, never long for more than you've got or you'll die reaching for it, you loser.

I'll probs watch live action Pan, and I'll probs enjoy it more than cartoon Pan, although that is more of a reflection on my feelings on cartoon Pan than my expectations of live action Pan.

My friend claims that Kevin is great in Mr Brooks, a movie I haven't seen and probably won't. I hear he's also great in Yellowstone. I had a look at his filmography and I don't think there's any movies in there I feel heaps strongly about, but I liked the baseball ones but that's probs mostly because I like baseball. I didn't hate Waterworld the way many seemed to, though.

I'm sure they'll stop as soon as they stop making money.

Just scrolled through and for a moment was wondering what Bono and co. had to do with this all.

Sounds fun, I'll probs see it at some point.
