    Police behaving badly

    Yeah, you got me, I was definitely being an ass there. I stand by the rest of the paragraph though.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Again, LET THEM TRY. It failed last time, and they even had the commander-in-chief on their side. I'm absolutely more worried about the possibility of him winning the actual election than what his followers will do if he doesn't.

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

    My violin is made of antimatter because I am actually less concerned about Alex Jones the more he suffers. No amount of suffering on his part could be enough to make me say "OK but is it enough yet? I'm not sure it is."

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

    Is this about some kerfuffle involving the Ukraine flag that I've been lucky enough not to hear about yet?

    Police behaving badly

    At first I was like "Surely they mean the ones who agree to become organ donors, as in their organs will be harvested when they die" and as big as I am on more people doing that, I was equally against that idea because I know it'd just lead to more prisoners dying under suspicious circumstances...

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

    Guys, I forget. Is replacing your country's legally-recognized flag with some other piece of iconography a bad sign?

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    So, only if life is on the line, only in the one situation where it matters the most that they're clearly guilty, only then will they no longer need to be certain. OK, who specifically is he trying to get rid of? Because he wouldn't be doing this if there weren't someone specific he's trying to...

    Police behaving badly

    Plenty of cops have enough body armor that they almost never have to fear for their lives now, and it doesn't seem to have helped. Because it's not about whether their excuse is plausible or not. 99% of the time, they're not actually having to make their case to the general public, or an...

    Police behaving badly

    Also, given how most police departments are, a "shortage of officers" isn't even a problem; if anything it's the solution to one.

    Disney Animated Canon thread: Speedrun edition

    Lady and the Tramp II was the first Disney sequel that actually annoyed me with its lazy casting, particularly the title characters, who sound nothing like their 1950s counterparts. (I even know who would have been perfect for Lady: Kate Hutchison, who played the librarian on Arthur.) Oh, and a...

    Disney Animated Canon thread: Speedrun edition

    Ironically, this is also the movie that planted a lifelong confusion as to why we don't refer to our native peoples as "aborigines", as John does early on in the film. Australia doesn't have a monopoly on that word! Fun fact: That opening song is on a three-disc collection of Disney songs that...

    Anti-Semitism

    It also depends on how Twitter is operating. A company that big probably has offices all around the world, meaning it needs to have business licenses (or the local equivalent) in all those countries, which presumably means it is legally obliged to abide by the strictest laws of all of those...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Hmm. I never considered that our refusal to let certain countries go nuclear, backed with the threat of war, meant that we might be dooming them to a future without sufficient power. If you believe the stories about renewables being insufficient to meet a modern nation's energy needs, anyway...

    Disney Animated Canon thread: Speedrun edition

    It's probably the best non-ironic adaptation of the book ever made, for what that's worth. For as many attempts as have been made over the years, it's notoriously hard to adapt because it's so aggressively weird and full of references that modern audiences (which is to say, virtually everyone...

    The Last of Us - Part 1

    She was in the game for like one chapter, then she got bit and I think Joel shot her dead, either at her request or at least with her consent. Part of me wants to spoiler tag that, because it's likely what's going to happen on the show, but it's literally what happened in the game all of us...

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    "Could God make a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it?" "Could Musk unban a user so toxic Musk had to re-ban him?" Same energy.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I've just realized how often this sort of thing happens. Trump is seen associating with this or that problematic person, gets called on it, denies he knows who the person even is... and he's just dumb enough that he always has plausible deniability. We could put the classified-documents incident...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the first version of the story (on record, at least) to establish that Snow White and the prince had at least met prior to him coming to the rescue in the end? Same with Sleeping Beauty. Oh, and speaking of records, did you know this was the first movie...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Frankly at this point I wonder if this is one of those things that a lot of outgoing presidents have done, and this is just the first time we're finding out about it.
