Step away from the lathe right now

Dang that old. They were still having us watch it when I was in elementary school

Unironically this is the end result of Hamilton and West Wing and hell even fucking School House Rock (for all the 30 something US Americans). This is real “end of history” thinking. Democracy is the final form, this is it, the problem is that the wrong people keep getting voted in, bad people, because “oh Republicans are stupid” or “oh Russia Boris what time is it in Moscow” or “oh leftists let Trump win”. We just need real people of character to get in there and do politics and reach across the aisle and just have heart to heart talks with fascists and get things done FOR AMERICA because America is perfect! We just keep electing the wrong people but don’t worry we’ll fix it

The Rise of the Witch King expansion for Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth 2

If you like RTS games and/or Lord of the Rings these games are pretty easy to pirate and there is an active modding community.

Kinda. This is gonna be super simplistic but like. To be good or moral or ethical or whatever you want to call it. It is not enough to love and support things that are good. You must hate and oppose things that are evil. If you are not capable of hating oppressors with the same conviction as the people who are oppressed, what are you even standing on? Do you think the parents of all the dead Palestinian kids have anything but hate for anyone and everything that claims the title of “Israeli”? Would you stand with them or not? Do you not tremble with indignation at the injustice, as Che said? Really think about whether or not you do.

This doesn’t mean you necessarily have to go out and find Israeli nationals to harass and you don’t have to send money to Hamas. But you do have to not go online and make weepy posts about “But but but what if they had really good reasons to be colonizers 🥺”

Good shit. Today was rough, I needed that

I once waited 3 hours in a merch line at a concert for The Garden to get literally get a vinyl and a tape not even that long ago

I love things like this. Movies that don’t see the light of day until years after filming. Have you seen New York Ninja? Shot in 1984 and shelved until someone found it in like 2020. It was like 8 hours of film with no sound, full script, storyboards, or actor credits. A director had to edit it down to movie length, reconstruct a script by reading the actors lips, and have all the ADR done.

Roland’s revolvers from The Dark Tower. Forged from the melted steel of Excalibur. I really hope the next adaptation they’re doing will be good
