Only a small thing, but fascists *love* to use Japan as an example of a functioning ethnostate. Japan has multiple native ethnic groups, such as the Ainu, Ryukyuan, Emishi, and the Hayato. The Yamato (what we think of as 'Japanese') are dominant, but the country is not ethnically homogenous.
The massive increase in clickbait trans news articles being posted on here has been very annoying to witness. Just pure profiting off of suffering and mass anxiety. Like people already have enough shit to deal with before misinformation comes into play
Someone is going to have to teach Americans what a litre is so they can be suitably scared
In that way, the appeal is similar to the appeal of many “dudebro” shows (Sherlock, maybe breaking bad I dunno) but House works in a field that has a LOT of women working in it so of course they find it cathartic
And two of those are nurses! In addition to Hugh being hot in a way I don’t fully understand, he says the kinds of things to idiots that they wish they could!
Every superfan of House I’ve known (three) have been women
I think whichever skarsgard is playing him was actually poor casting for live action but I’ve had a very hard time coming up with who SHOULD be playing him. Somebody with the screen presence of a Jeffry Wright or Clancy Brown.
Why would they tease this, he’s already been in like two shows?!
To be clear I think you’re correct I’m just confused why Favreau thinks this is like Nick fury showing up in iron man
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
clinton's plan to beat trump was to elevate him above the rest of the republican field and then coast to an easy victory. i don't think she was right about that
Paradoxically, this too makes you lose your mind
We need a name for this, something like vice-signalling, where people, usually in or around tech or finance, claim to do some quirky bullshit that patently doesn't work just so they can post about it to build their personal brand.

intentionalnachos.wordpress.com/2026/03/08/t... I struggle to come up with a one-liner to describe 2025 other than “the best year in music since I was in undergrad”
“Voting against the troops”
Freedom of speech painting
I don’t think losing an election means you were “right about everything” or “tried to warn” all of us
Picard: It's a computer simulation of thoroughbred horse racing called Umamusume Pretty Derby. The program was quite popular in the 21st century.
Riker: Mm. 'Pretty' is accurate. That Goldship is quite something.
Picard: I hadn't noticed. I enjoy the simulation's tactical qualities.
Riker: Yes, sir.
I make jokes about Paradox gamers, but even they could have told you that!
That big scary survey about Gen Z men being more regressive than Boomers is so flawed. An image of young men is being manufactured in the media and we should be very concerned about that.
Why do pollsters keep doing this???
I hate the American century of humiliation shit so badly it's a dogshit right wing nationalist framing of imperialism in China and then Americans are using it when someone embarrassing happens to the US and it's like buddy tens of millions of people Died
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Hope they include the first recorded instance of a man getting pegged
this is, all else being equal, easily the funniest thing the director of inside out could have said
My favorite opinion that is unique to and localized to bluesky posters™️ is, “the internet used to be great, and now it sucks, because there are people younger than me who are on it”
IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot
THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him
THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me
YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care
BECAUSE my position is immutable
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
With what they’re charging for the new sourcebooks, you’ll know he’s got disposable income
Listen to @bloodwork.show
Kamala Harris: I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not into saying 'I told you so', but we did see it coming. she’s speaking at rev jesse jackson’s funeral on live TV
she just did this at a man's funeral
