If I was forced to pick a title I would have preferred just going revolutionary France and picked citizen, or the equivalent in Swedish, but given the circumstances that would have extremely negative nationalistic connotations.

I dislike it cause I think like a lot of gender neutral stuff it goes the route of trying to be inbetween the binaries rather than separated, and so when actually spoken it sounds way more like "Miss" than "Mister" and IMO that's just like poor quality and kind of lazy.

And also it kind of has a position as basically the "fine, here you fuckers go" concession title, so if you would prefer something else or just not being titled its not really factored in, because no freedom of expression has been inserted into most processes, its just a slight expansion of the hard boundaries.

Like I need to know if these guys are using meme language for basically reasonable conspiracy guesses, if they are just like kind of dumb about brainwashing, or completely and totally out of their mind.

Once again with this assassin shit going on I'm fucking PLEADING with parapolitics guys to please elaborate on what the fuck they specifically think a guy being "MKULTRAD" means, like do you think the dipshit was hypnotized, was he dosed with the secret murder drug, did they put him in the depatterning machine? Or do you think he straight up came out of the Monarch baby farms and is a hyper DID super assassin?

The atronarch playstyle feels like it has more potential for further development tbh.

Being fair it does sound more like she was sent shitty therapy speak guides to coping rather than like, recipes for making a house potion.

Not any better of course.

Planning to just start calling Americans I know some shit like "basically yank putin supporters" whenever they start the martyr spiel over being forced to vote biden no matter what this election.

Not on merits of particularly hating putin supporters since I never fucking hear anyone be a putin supporter outside of culture war contrarian brainrot, its just that it definitely will sting.

At worst I would say Kubrick ran a boys club type thing and lacked the empathy to consider that having a woman constantly play scenes where her character is put in disempowered and emotionally distraught states is different from all the shit he had his male actors doing over and over, where he just assumed that since they are actors they should be able to deal with acting on their own.

The whole thing feels very like, "fragile white woman" centric to me, absolutely none of that being on the part of Shelley Duvall, it's just that people seem to take vague rumours and gossip about her way more seriously that actual documented shit like Kubrick jabbing hooks in Malcolm McDowells eyes for the ludovico scene, and then according to Malcolm, running off with 2.5% of Clockwork Oranges profits that were promised to Malcolm by just telling the studio "Yeah I'll pass it on to him."

I havent found any independent sources for the latter part, it's just something that Malcom has claimed for decades though, either way its very documented that doing the scene did leave him with scratched corneas and temporary vision impairment.

At least she seemed to have lived her last years in pretty much peace and stability, and also to see people band together to show how appreciated all her work was.

Extremely tragic still, complications from diabetes is what I've seen written as the cause of death.

Do they get new Dalai Lamas or is he taking his ball and going home forever?

Apparently it's a trend again on twitter to joke about how 9/11 and the Afghanistan War are "canon" to Bluey.

And it's driving me mildly insane cause literally not even last year but back in fucking January 2024, it was a culture war scandal when an Arab-Australian writer wrote a poem about how even in his childrens tv shows, it is the natural order that Arabs are in a state of being slaughtered by heroic white people.

It seems to me like they lost credibility on Palestinian liberation due to multiple figures being shown to have straight up antisemitic views about the holocaust, and also it sounded like they just had no other real fundamental commitment to oppressed groups in Britain.

Difficult to be a single issue party essentially and then the convictions behind that single issue fall into question.
