    It's the Muppet Thread

    I actually wonder if streaming is legally considered equivalent to airing reruns for licensing purposes. Because Malcolm in the Middle was famously denied DVD releases due to the music licensing costs, but it was available on Amazon Prime Video back when they still had shows besides their own...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    That's almost exactly what we were all saying about Hillary in 2016. And hey, I betcha intentionally letting the former most powerful person on earth get away with treason is pretty damn close to puppy eating in the eyes of a lot of voters.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Oh god you're right. The DOJ isn't letting him get away with stuff because they're afraid of what his cult might do to them—they're doing it in the hopes that Biden will get to run against him again and get an easy win. They really are that dumb and short-sighted. *headdesk*

    Police behaving badly

    That's even worse. Small towns are like 90% people with Trump flags and I BACK THE BLUE signs.

    Back on the Mesa. C.O.W. Boys getting a revival.

    Yeah, remember that one company that was like "We're going to bring Toys-R-Us back!" and then all that came of it was basically putting a Toys-R-Us sign up in the toy section of an existing department store or something?

    Police behaving badly

    It could have backfired worse if we lived in a country where there's any chance they will face real consequences for this. As it is, they'll probably get a commendation for successfully sending a message to the public that this is what happens to well-meaning independent journalists in Trump's...

    Anti-Semitism

    Once we start getting into the question of whether the writers of the Gospels were outright lying about who was responsible for Jesus' execution, we might as well start asking whether they also intentionally lied about his claims of Messiahhood or, heck, whether such a person as Jesus as...

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    Are there Jewish people who are Christians? Yes, just like there are white (and black, and Asian) people who convert to Judaism.

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

    Acting as though there's any difference between "the law" and "whoever happens to be in charge right now" is counterproductive. This isn't the Deep Magic of Narnia; it relies on humans choosing to abide by it or it all falls apart. And, as I've said before, barring the discovery of and...

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

    That Noah's Ark citation was borderline Chewbacca Defense levels of nonsensical.

    Anti-Semitism

    On a long enough timeline, nowhere is anyone's original homeland. And prior to the founding of the modern state of Israel, the last time it had truly belonged to them was over 2000 years ago. Saying that's a good enough reason to say that they rightfully own it and that, therefore, it should be...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    If these same five people had been kidnapped by a common criminal within the US borders, nobody would dream of spending six billion on their ransom. Probably not even six million. So why is that perfectly fine when an enemy state does it?

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

    At what point do his actions qualify as a hate crime and allow the feds to step in and throw him in prison? Because I feel like we should have already passed it.

    Anti-Semitism

    Well... have you ever met one? I'm sure Romani-Americans exist, somewhere (if nothing else, it's probably where the carnival fortune-teller archetype came from), but it's definitely not a major demographic or one with a significant presence in the entertainment industry. Even in the realms of...

    Billie Bust Up!

    Man, this has been in development a long time. I remember seeing development footage back in like, 2018 or so? Must be a pretty small team.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Sounds right. I still can't wrap my head around how shaders can be used to warp actual mesh geometry, but that's how Left 4 Dead 2 made its trees bend in the wind during the Hard Rain campaign.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I guess the real problem is that, in the face of this much threatened violence and upheaval, we suddenly need all our leaders to be willing to literally take a bullet for their country. And I don't think any nation has ever been so privileged as to have such stoic, selfless people in charge...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    Evil cannot comprehend good. Unfortunately it seems like it works the other way around a lot of the time too.

    P&R Funnies!

    I've got a better idea. How about we lock Trump up for life and convince his followers to turn themselves in and ask for the same sentence. You know, in the interest of solidarity or something.

    It just now dawned on me that he owns that site yet still wasn't able to score the handle "@DonaldTrump".
