He does it lovingly though, he has always had a big interest in American action and horror cinema since he was a kid. I don’t think it reduces his auteurism, he fills his work with references and callbacks to all the classic tropes of Hollywood but still makes it something new.

12·2 days agoI feel like a local hero now, my upstairs neighbor’s cat got out and I rushed into action as the kid watched, I expertly caught it and safely brought it back. It didn’t seem like he actually wanted to be outside though because maybe it’s cold, he sort of hissed and swatted at me but quickly accepted his fate. I’m just proud of my response time even though I’m hella stoned

35·3 days agoThey get paid to inform the public,
If only, they are paid and amplified specifically because of the bullshit you listed. It’s like the quote about the worst evil the devil does is convincing you he doesn’t exist. Mainstream journalists and news outlets are allowed to be mainstream because they know exactly how to walk the line of appearing objective while always truly aligning their view with the goals of the empire.

My revolutionary optimism is too strong, all the libs and some socialists around me seem a bit dispaired by all the horrors going on. Don’t get me wrong, I am too for sure, but they don’t seem to have any idea of how it could get better because they think everyone else who wants to do anything serious is just as evil as the US apparently. I am feeling engaged, social and active, motivated in ways I haven’t been in years, and it’s hard to share these vibes with anyone because everyone I talk to seems just generally upset and overworked.
I’m thankful for hexbear at least, where instead of pure doom we can at least celebrate the small victories against the imperialists like the strikes on bases going on, which a lot of libs probably don’t even realize are happening.

7·4 days agoAre you also going to an electropop/disco dance tonight? If not I recommend it, it can be a great type of chaos (if the crowd is right)

I just realized it’s because they consult AI for everything, the LLMs can’t tell the difference between parody and reality and neither do the chuds. It’s trained on so much comedy media that it probably could just be giving them the funnier ideas.

3·6 days agoYeah it doesn’t really last with wet conditions, not meant as a proper lube, the bike-chain specific one I have is meant for wet conditions and works alright though. I think it might have some silicone in it. Wasn’t trying to recommend that as a lubricant necessarily, it was just surprising how much that helped! And a lot of people have it on hand already.
Make a show where a bunch of ecoterrorists foil a land developers plans to bulldoze a forest and make him go “GOOD HEAVENS!” while his bow tie spins and his monocle falls out.
In my memory that was basically Captain Planet, my cohort grew up on that and they wonder why we are radicals.

6·6 days agoJust want to shout out again the greatness of getting the seat a proper height and lubing that thing up thoroughly. I was not having a great time with a bike someone gave me, it was squeaky as hell and felt weird, all I did was put a bunch of WD-40 in all the moving parts, it was good but there is WD40 specifically for bike chains that lasts better. Raised the seat to be at the height of my hip bone, it felt like it was too high at first but definitely better over time.
I can’t get off it now, I’m straight up the sicko biker everyday

4·6 days agoA Syrian restaurant I go to (in the US) has a Syrian Arab Republic flag plaque with the date of the fall of the Assad regime, 12/08/2024. I’m always curious how diaspora Syrians feel about what’s been happening the last decade. From what I’ve heard there are a lot of legitimate reasons Syrians would be glad to be done with Assad, but how could you accept that in exchange for co-operation with the zionists and US?

48·8 days agoMaybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons program. This is, uh…surprising…since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
He seems to be implying they said it’s not about nukes but he doubts that, but doesn’t want to say it outright.
It’s funny also when referring to closing the strait, he says
…I can’t go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don’t know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Like the entire thing wasn’t entirely avoidable, and like every ghoul in US politics he talks about the horror of slowing oil shipments and doesn’t even mention the people killed.

A lot of us are doing what we can, until more people here stop being so committed to the useless bullshit they do everyday it’s hard to encourage that sort of thing.
