Non-muslim so I could be wrong, but my understanding is that it makes much less sense than that. Easter can be a catchall for the entirety of holy week and “the Christmas season” has engulfed the entire end of the year in the west. Eid, however, is specifically the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is the holy month of fasting, Eid is the festival at the end, where Muslims break their fast in a large feast. It’s less like saying “Merry Christmas” on 12/1 and more like saying “congrats on finishing the marathon” when the race has just begun.

Everything “the internet” (you know what I mean) likes is a little overrated because “the internet” goes too far with the constant praise and references and DAEs. So yeah, Monty Python is probably a little overrated, but it’s still very very good and foundational to pretty much all contemporary comedy that is actually funny. MP is definitely not without artifacts of its time. The Stan/Loretta sketch in Life of Brian is tough to sit through nowadays, but that granted, MP was still ahead of its time. A sixth of the troupe being gay certainly helps, given the attitudes of the time.

Hell yeah. We have so much more in common than we have differences. Thank you for this small gesture of left unity, I really needed to hear it today. ☺️

I play a lot of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and one of the most popular, consistently active servers currently has a server message that posts “rest in peace Jeff, HH brother” in the chat every couple of minutes. Idk who the fuck Jeff is but I’m glad he’s dead if we’re remembering him with HH

Or Legend of Zelda Wind Waker vs Twilight Princess. Same series, same console, Wind Waker is 4 years older than Twilight Princess and it still holds up graphically to this day, just under two decades later. Twilight Princess doesn’t even look that good in the HD remake.

These extremely online “anarchists” who rave against Marxism more than fascism (which is a small minority of anarchists, and every ancom I’ve met IRL is cool as fuck) are fucking indistinguishable from the utopian socialists of the early 19th century. These people are the intellectual heirs to Charles Fourier, not Kropotkin or even Proudhon.
