Oh my gosh! So glad to find another Colonel Blimp fan. To me the movie is summed up as “it’s OK to punch a Nazi”.

Also - Mrs. Miniver. Greer Garson at her finest.

One thing I find fascinating about antique malls and collector stores is that I tend to see more Star Wars from the 1970s and 1980s than I do Transformers, at all, of any era. Very little in the way of robots in disguise at the second hand shops.

*I wonder how many activities can be vibed besides "vibe coding."

Is a "kinetic military operation" a "vibe war," for instance.

Is a selfie a "vibe portrait."

Is social media virality "vibe journalism."

Is life extension "vibe healthcare"

Napoleon low key the funniest guy in European history because he was like “what if I promoted officers based on how good they were at army and recruited troops who actually liked my country“ and it was basically the same as unleashing Godzilla.

It seems exquisitely Trump that Trump allowed Noem to go up to Capitol Hill and get asked on the record if she was doing the wild thing with Corey with only one day left on the job

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Yeah, it would make sense if that's what's going on here. I can just see a bunch of GOP men being like "what can we do for the ladies??" and congratulating each other on a new plan after disclosing how often their wives get mad about their porn habits.

Movie poster for 乙卂尺ᗪㄖ乙 except Zaria’s giant floating head has been replaced by the head from the “Nathan Bedford Forrest Statue,” a controversial 25 feet (7.6 m) equestrian statue of Confederate Lt. General Nathan Bedford Forrest publicly displayed for 23 years (1998–2021) along an interstate highway near Nashville, Tennessee.

…though that did result in this so….

Well now I’m very disappointed, as a paying customer of Proton. Are there any worthier alternatives?

Ugh. I drove by that damned statue twice a day for seven years.

Since people continue to refuse to understand Iranians:

The idea that US attacks on Iran will lead to greater support of the Islamic Republic of Iran by Iranians is largely overblown. The vast majority of Iranians oppose their government vehemently. It’s inconceivable they would support the government bc someone else is attacking it.

I do not know what to say. Is every Republican some kind of weirdo?

The best way to end the war in Ukraine faster is incredibly simple.

We need to fund more Ukrainian missiles and massively ramp up production right here in Europe to supply them.

Stop hesitating and just give them the firepower to finish this

On Your Feet, Soldier!, by Unwoman from the album Desire Paths

The first ideas for this song came to me in the gym*, but it's NOT a workout motivational song... unless you want it to be, I guess.

* I was thinking about parenting. With parenting & elder care, you can only move forward, doing your best. (day 49)

I like rough men too, Kristi!

Oh… not like that….

Whole thread. I was on a panel at the same time so I appreciate hearing the highlights of the conversation.

One would think one would consider whether Croatian tattoo flash might be kind of fascy if one is stationed there on genocide prevention duty.

(This presumes Plotner’s explanation is in good faith, which is not a given.

Not knowing it’s a Nazi symbol seems barely plausible but claiming it’s not? 🤬

i literally saw a picture of Graham Platner’s tattoo out of context without any idea of who it belonged to & said “why tf does some guy have an SS agent Totenkopf tat?”

i was not happy to discover it was some murderous bozo running as a Senator, let alone as a democrat.
