I’m really tired of the “Noted bigot and/or idiot said something different than they usually do, that anybody with more than two braincells already knew!” headlines, and I resent them being posted on any community as “legitimate” news. It’s bullshit. Their comments are bullshit. They’re still the same bigoted idiot they were yesterday. This isn’t useful information. At best it’s ragebait, but it’s more often just enabling/normalizing their shit behavior.

So I will be sharing them in the order they appear in the book The Addams Family Album on Wednesdays.
Very fitting ;) Looking forward to it. Thanks!
Oooh, got it. I don’t have a lamp, so I just don’t use any light when I can manage without, hah.
Ech@lemmy.cato Traditional Art@lemmy.world•Aert van der Neer - Moonlit Landscape With Bridge (1648)English2·2 days agoGod’s Eye.
One of my biggest gripes with the Guardians of the Galaxy Gunn-ification. In the comics, the characters are actually competent, if uncouth and often anti-heroes. The movies turn them all into bumbling idiots, and Gamora, a no-bullshit, “will walk through a star, burn her skin off, then knock you out afterwards” badass, is a “soft-on the inside” love interest that gets fridged for not not one, but two guys. That scene with Thanos in Infinity War still pisses me off.
That “highest resolution image of the moon” user on Reddit is gonna have to find a new gimmick.
Ech@lemmy.cato Not The Onion@lemmy.world•‘God, you’re hot’ Tennessee school board member says to student during board meetingEnglish41·2 days agoYou said one thing. Put on your thinking cap, I’m sure even you can figure that one out.
except under “condition via coordinating” with the IRG.
Also known as “open”. Yes, it’s a compromise - that’s how politics works. Your argument seems to be that, since Iran didn’t just unconditionally give over their whole country to the US, Trump is a “weasely” chicken for not nuking them after getting most of what he demanded.
But yeah, the toddler is playing 5D chess lmao.
Where did I say anything of the sort?
Congrats, you’ve figured out that making shit up and ignoring most of the situation makes your babble seem almost coherent.
Calling out dangerous foolishness isn’t “siding” with its target. Both can be bad. And, again, he didn’t “weasel” out of anything. You can keep saying it, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.
“Weasels out of it”. He got what he wanted. By your standards, the only way he wouldn’t be a coward is if he nuked the country anyways.
He looks like a bloody genius compared to anybody calling the guy threatening nuclear annihilation a chicken or coward for not following through (because he got what he wanted).

If anyone can make it work, it’s Mike Judge.
I would love another season or two of Silicon Valley to roast the latest techbro bullshit.
“Coming to the right side of history”. He’s spewing the same conspiracy bullshit he always has and always will. Any pattern will match with others at various points. It doesn’t mean it’s suddenly a different pattern.
