the one thing many Christians understand less than their own savior’s creed is Torah

Christian Nationalists hate it when someone has actually read the Bible

Doing Eminem’s “Stan” but about me and Xi Jinping

Spain, Brazil, South Africa, and China please [treasonous remark redacted] you will be greeted as liberators by the cool parts of Ametocs

in my experience it's actually rich people who fail to understand how complicated and expensive it is to be poor because the system treats everyone the same bsky.app/profile/atru...

i think it's too bad tony blair still walks among the living

Chess dot com is great; I wake up every morning to a careful counter move from my opponent in Pakistan and blearily make the most embarrassing blunder of my life.

When I read the Bible a month ago for my spring reading project, it occurred to me that most Christians haven’t read the full thing and thus don’t really know what they’re believing in. Bozos like this guy don’t know history and, more than not knowing subtext, they don’t know the text!

Ironically this is almost 1-to-1 what Iran did to break Iraq's minefields during the Iraq / Iran war. They literally got busses full of martyrs to march through the field for the military.

In addition to being evil, these people are dumb. Weak, weak intellects.

so that’s kind of funny lmao

The best way to weaken a movement is not to fight it. The best way is to guide it somewhere else.

Paraphrasing, but I remember John Waters saying something along the lines of social movements needing to have good fashion or fashion that exemplifies their ethos. All tech and especially AI-adjacent tech has HIDEOUS aesthetics.

Bebop is still exemplary across the board but its central philosophy of edgy stoicism has a shelf life, IMO.

No, but I will check them out! I’m actually shockingly deficient on anime outside of the marquee titles

Haven’t done a rewatch of DBZ, but that is definitely long overdue

I’ve rewatched Cowboy Bebop like 2-3 times and while foundational, I do think I’ve outgrown it.

Every so often, one must watch the whole of Evangelion and get annihilated

ominously badass dudes at the back of the pachinko parlor

when woke 2 comes we’re executing the car dealership owners so if that’s you divest of while you still can

i feel like my generation didn’t have such a handle on the fact that older people were actually mostly idiots, whereas genZ have figured this out and are reacting appropriately

Also nuts how “Damascus” was an outtake from Plastic Beach, and it gains all sorts of new meaning in the context of The Mountain. Virtuoso stuff.

I have friends who are in the Christian parts of Beirut and while they’re not directly under fire, they hear bombs dropping all day long. Unimaginably evil to do that to any other human beings, let alone civilian populations

Mfs handing it to ISIL on main

Stop this horseshit. There was a genocide under Biden.

You sound completely full of shit pulling this.

America is an out of control rabid dog. Period full stop.

lol Iran called the US the Great Satan for decades and the first thing they did was a mass slaughter of children and an indiscriminate execution of their religious leaders… pretty sure their predictions were dead on
