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.

Saw The Amazing Maurice yesterday. Overall I enjoyed it. One of the better Pratchett adaptations I've seen. Helps that the most recent one I saw was The Watch, which was fairly mediocre.

Well that's just, like, your opinion man

My brother went on a huge Coen Brothers kick back in the day, so I've seen: Miller's Crossing (loved it) The Hudsucker Proxy (loved it also) Fargo (excellent) The Big Lebowski (excellent) O Brother, Where Art Thou? (fantastic and I love the soundtrack) The Man Who Wasn't There (I get that it's probs good but it didn't really grab me) Intolerable Cruelty (not particularly amazing, but kinda fun) The Ladykillers (kinda dumb) No Country for Old Men (didn't really enjoy it very much) The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (so depressing)

Wow, George Pell dead, and Andrew Tate loses his appeal. Rough day for sex offenders.

I like spreadsheets so I kept a spreadsheet of 2022 films I saw in 2022, so here is the list of 2022 films I saw in 2022 in the order in which I am ranking them. Everything Everywhere All at Once Prey The Valet Weird: the Al Yankovic Story Thor: Love and Thunder Dr Strange and the Multiverse of Madness Turning Red The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun See How They Run The Princess Bullet Train Rosaline Disenchanted Hocus Pocus 2 Better Nate Than Ever Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers Strange World Lightyear Sneakerella Hollywood Stargirl Eternals The King's Man The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild Pinocchio There is probs a bit of flexibility in the 'soggy middle', like IDK that The Princess is necessarily better than Bullet Train, everything from Weird: the Al Yankovic Story down to, IDK, Strange World, was kinda dumb and fun which is a good time imo. Top 3 and bottom 3 are pretty set in stone for me, though. Also I have, since making this list, seen Glass Onion, and kinda enjoyed it, but since I didn't see it in 2022 it doesn't make the list soz.

I remember the 90s Musketeers movie being beautiful and perfect and I have no interest in rewatching it to see if I have to revise that position.

Hot take: Indy 4 was better than Indy 2 on the whole.

Friendly Jordies kinda sucks tbh. Anyway here's a very normal Coloradan speaking about how relieved he is that his child, who murdered people in a gay bar, is not gay.

OK you are still extremely not getting it, I'll try to break it down into components. First, he makes fun of lifestyle gurus. Second, he is a lifestyle guru. What I'm trying to draw the reader towards here, is the implication that as well as being unfunny and a moronic antivaxxer, he's a hypocrite. This is lampshaded by my sarcastic suggestion that he is trying to indicate that he is not a big fraud like the lifestyle gurus he makes fun of. (The implication is that, in fact, he IS a big freaking fraud.) And no, I have not watched the video from earlier because it has been my experience that they are terrible, much like he, as a person, is terrible. EDIT: What's the gif from/about?

lol what? Read what I wrote again, because this absolutely does not relate to the post you're quoting.

My favourite JP Sears fact is that he's a lifestyle guru and also makes videos mocking lifestyle gurus to show he's 'self aware' or whatever and not a big freaking fraud like the ones he's making fun of.

JP Sears sucks. I've never loved his heavy handed videos in any case, but add in things like being an antivaxxer and... well it's kind of on brand for you I guess, Bruce

Phrases like 'blue lives matter' and 'all lives matter' didn't exist until the phrase 'black lives matter' started to be used to talk about how black people were frequently killed by police without repercussions. Both phrases are intended not to try to highlight the plight of 'all' or 'blue' lives, but as a direct reaction against a group of people grieving that their lives are seemingly not valued as much as others around them. One key difference between Pedro's comments and Gina's is that Trump is a racist person who made a number of racist remarks and attracted a disproportionately large number of racist followers. Among his supporters were: Two men who beat up a Latino immigrant while saying 'Donald Trump was right.' https://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/16/us/trump-supporters-immigrant-beating/index.html (Trump's response was that his supporters were very passionate.) Men who rallied shouting 'Jews will not replace us.' https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/12/us/charlottesville-protest-white-nationalist.html (Trump said there were very fine people on both sides.) David Duke https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/1/31/neo-nazis-and-white-supremacists-celebrate-trumps-sotu The Daily Stormer https://www.salon.com/2018/01/16/white-supremacists-to-trump-welcome-back-we-still-love-you/ Usually when people talk about conservative viewpoint being 'persecuted', it means something like 'when I express my horrible opinions, people criticise me.' Pedro's comparison is apt, Gina's is misguided at best, intentionally dishonest at worst. Side note, and I am relatively confident that this will have been explained to you in detail before, but the concept of 'freedom of speech' refers only to the freedom from legal consequences from your speech. It has nothing to do with how a private company reacts to what you choose to say. A private company is allowed to use what you say to determine if your values align with their own, and that is as it should be. If someone decided to express their 'political opinion' that vaccines are a conspiracy run by a cabal of evil Jews who also control the weather, it should be totally fine to fire that person. (And it is.)

I suppose it's possible, but as I've grown older I've found I don't have the patience to wade through your tiresome gimmick to get to whatever the point is.
