    Iran. Nuff said.

    It does speak to the protests having more power than they expected—which sounds like an excellent reason for them to not stop.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    How do "fan dubs" work, anyway? You'd basically have to replace most of the music and sound effects too since there's no way to separate the voices into their own tracks.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    So, I discovered something today: This is actually the third time Super Mario has been adapted into a movie. There was an hour-long anime all the way back in 1986 called Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! that only released in Japan. It also follows the "Mario is from...

    Ranting about quebec: newspark edition!

    Geez. It's getting to the point where the right-wingers' version of "moving to Canada" might be... moving to Canada. Because not even the most insane Republican governors have gone as far as to declare soft secession.

    Anti-Semitism

    The thing is, I don't see the kind of cops who have been murdering people for being black in their presence as being the same sort of people who are OK with Nazis getting punched with impunity. I see them as the type who would make catching Nazi punchers a top priority.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    I'm genuinely wondering if they poached some animators from Disney for this, specifically ones who had worked on Wreck-It Ralph, because the facial animation on that Toad saying "Look at us, we're adorable" is giving me some serious Vanellope vibes. Illumination has a pretty distinct house...

    Anti-Semitism

    Speaking of being arrested, though, would you say that the government has a moral responsibility not to arrest or prosecute people for the blatant case of assault and battery they just committed? And, more importantly, do you have an ounce of faith that they'd actually agree with you, in...

    Police behaving badly

    And the source of that problem is that "the arms industry" is even a thing in the first place. I've said before that military contractors should be replaced with not-for-profit firms owned and operated by the government, and you just gave me another excellent reason why.

    Anti-Semitism

    Personally, just reading about incidents like this send me into a blind rage and makes me wish I had been there so could not just punch him but grab the nearest lethal blunt object and beat him into an unrecognizable mess. I don't know if that makes me a bad person or not. I'm not sure I want to...

    Police behaving badly

    This. Unless this guy had the capacity to level the building he was in or something, it sounded like he was the one trapped in there with them. There are more solutions to problems than just killing people, and being incapable of realizing that is why the cops in this country suck.

    Anti-Semitism

    As Douglas Adams once said, if there's one thing humanity can't afford to have, it's a healthy sense of perspective. Maybe if we make more of a commitment to at least pretend to be outraged by things that should be outrageous, even if it's the millionth time it's happened, the powers that be...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    They're impartial enough. Compared to Congress they're practically God.

    Oh, and I just found out Tumblr also implemented blue checkmarks, but in an even sillier way: You can buy as many as you want, and it'll add them all after your username.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Trouble is, define "get caught." No one is guilty without trial, not even the President. Though I do think impeachments ought to be tried in the Supreme Court rather than Congress. That much should have been clear long ago.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    The real reason career politicians are a thing is that their constituents have little recourse to replace them with a member of the same party (or another party with similar positions), no matter how epically bad they are at their jobs. Enact ranked-choice ballots in all 50 states and that...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    This feels a bit like the pot calling the kettle black, but FurAffinity, of all places, has decided to get in on the mocking-Elon train and they've gone all in with it: This might be the fastest they've ever rolled out a feature.

    The 2022 Midterms Thread

    Actually, I'm curious. Are they publishing all the numbers? I'd love to know how many second-choice votes they each got, how they corresponded to the first choices, etc.

    The 2022 Midterms Thread

    Maybe, but it's probably unfounded. With barely half the Republicans voting for her—AND not even all of Begich's voters making her their second choice (otherwise she would have edged out Peltola, which I was worried might happen)—she must have been pretty unpopular. Also worth noting, as I said...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    You know, there's a certain irony in the fact that once the site goes under, 90% of the posts in this thread are just gonna be empty because the contents of those embedded tweets aren't actually being copied over.
