I know this is kinda off topic but every time I see any guns akimbo I think of this.
I mean yeah fuck the way the world going. On the other hand Guns Akimbo is so worth a watch as well as Swiss Army Man. They’re both such fever dreams and I very much appreciate Radcliffe going from that terf’s garbage to doing what I would call (hesitantly) real art.
It pisses me off so bad that JK Rowling had to be a fucking transphobic racist piece of shit. This is me off to an extreme extent because she is a fucking genius author when it comes to one thing. She chose one generation and then wrote a story specifically for that generation, having the writing style get older with the generation. And then she wasted it by being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit and filling the story with the same type of garbage. Like credit where credit is due. That one thing that she did is fucking genius. But she had to ruin it by being herself.
If it makes you feel any better there tons of video essays tearing the series apart. It’s not particularly genius, very little if any of what she did was original and from the very beginning it was chocked full of racism, antisemitism, fatphobia and ablelism.
Also that’s an insult to colonoscopies, as they’re important and save lives.
Her editor was very good. As the books went on and JK got veto power over her editor, the books got worse and more problematic.
Man, I feel exactly the same about loving wrap dresses. Biyltch who popularized them was nearly as bad as Rowling.
I am delighted that when I think of Radcliffe, these are the first things that come to mind. Harry Potter is second.
Emma Watson is still Hermione, but Radcliffe, that crazy twat…
Yeah, Radcliffe is in the uniquely special circumstance, where he has more money than God but he also wants to keep making movies. The result is that he only does the movies that he wants to do. He doesn’t attach himself to movies just for clout or money, because he doesn’t need either of those.
hesitantly
‘Swiss army man’ is absolutely real art. It’s just weird and hard to watch and includes dirty jokes. Don’t be a dick. Haven’t seen the other.
Swiss Army Man is so good. Not as funny or action packed as Akimbo but so many feelings
I may be an optimist in some ways, but I honestly expect civilization will persist through “all this”. Though of course, that isn’t really much comfort considering that doesn’t mean that it won’t absolutely suck for the people within it all.
Civilization is doing pretty well outside the US. If the US disappeared tomorrow, the rest of the world would do significantly better. I don’t know how the world will deal with climate change, but without the US it would be easier to make progress. The tech firms blowing up the AI bubble, and invading our privacy are nearly all American. A lot of the private equity firms destroying the world are also American. If the US could hurry up and finish collapsing, the rest of the world’s civilization could just move on.
Depends on how you define civilization.
And how you define “all this”
Hey, the NCR came after the Great War, right?
Although I hope that’s not the bar we’re shooting for.
I’d put down a bet that Iceland is gonna be okay.
The great thing now is that we are currently ending the world, so there won’t be anywhere for that civilization to be.
If you want a future, kill your masters.
If you want to kill yourself and everyone else, get yourself some weed and eggs Benedict, and just keep doing what you’re doing¹.
¹assuming you’re not spectacularly cool
Agree with your sentiment internet friend, but might want to drop that last sentence. We, uh, did go to the moon, right? Right?
I’m job shopping and the effort feels futile. I am fortunate to have one already, although it is quite stressful and the pay is low enough that I must work a part time job as well. I worry about those who depend on medicaid to stay alive and will have the added stress of finding 80 hours of work per month in a depressed market come January.
might as well start your own business.

And so when Jesus makes his way back to El Norte, my Mom goes to heaven.
What a silly religion.

Only the apocalypse is important. After that we can hand him over to the Zionists for their rape and torture prison.
