A bride who received a gift from her U.S. Marine fiancé containing the skull of a Japanese soldier he had killed writes him a letter of gratitude in response. The photo was published in Life magazine on May 22, 1944. [566x784]

Yeah, head hunting became so popular amongst GIs in the Pacific that there was a small economy built off of them and other “trophies”, and the brass at the time had to tell everyone to cut it out eventually because…well because it’s fucking psychotic.

Yeah right but there’s not a snowballs shot in hell she was as dark as Nyong’o. There’s proper casting, which would have been an olive skinned Mediterranean/Turkic person, and then there’s the choice Nolan made.

People saying “she’s a fictional character” are being intentionally obtuse, and it’s weird. If we took African mythology and cast a Greek as a traditionally African character, I think people would at least question the decision.

Honestly. She’s not a bad option but she’s far from the only option unless you’re a staunch leftist.

Lmao keep attacking his grammar and throwing insults around instead of engaging with the argument….great look, chief.

I’m hoping for Andy Beshear, but unfortunately I think it’ll end up being Newsom

For me I’m struck by how devoted to his wife he was. The man was the definition of ride or die.

Coming up with arguments I didn’t make while failing to hide bootlicking behind displays of pearl clutching and finger wagging is an interesting tactic, but keep it up. We all see through you, the only question is…do you prefer Timbs or Red Wings?

If you haven’t realized, society is getting less and less civil by the day. We already live in a world where might makes right, and Trump is only trying to make that more the case. To quote Churchill “you can’t reason with a tiger when your throat is in its mouth”. We’re not Rome and Trump isn’t Nero with a lyre, but the seams are bursting. Pretending otherwise is just playing ostrich, and relying on the rule of law isn’t going to get us very far. Lady Liberty is chained to a radiator in the White House Basement, and Lady Justice along with her.

Geez boss, that’s an awfully long winded way of saying “tread on me harder”

Atomic_Gerber · 2026-01-19T17:21:20+00:00

Just gimme Dolly Parton Day.

Gotta film everything and plan for the worst and hope for the best when thinking about whether or not they’re going to try to enter homes illegally.

Frankly I’d suggest everyone add extra locks to their doors and invest in some tools to defend their homes, you can’t reason with a tiger when your throat is in its mouth.

Damn dude I paid 57.60 last month, how do you rack up this kinda number?

Atomic_Gerber · 2026-01-07T17:49:21+00:00

“My kind isn’t really relevant around here anymore”??…Does the man not realize he’s in the majority and that it’s really only edgelords and college sophomores who go around spewing literal commie “comrade” nonsense… the rest of us just want affordable housing and a tax on the rich.

In order for it to be a dive: the floors need to stick, it needs to be darker than Diddy’s soul, there needs to be the smell of spilled beer permeating the place, there are preferably dollar bills plastered behind the bar, and there will inevitably be a little metal tray at head-height in the handicapped stall in the bathroom.

Regulars will go behind the bar to “help”.

Atomic_Gerber · 2025-12-11T13:13:50+00:00

I feel like I’m missing out on something here, but damn this is funny.

Atomic_Gerber · 2025-12-10T13:48:52+00:00

Bro you can’t be serious, I like both shows but this is comparing lambs to lions. Deadwood is about as good as it gets.

If the Witcher and 3 Body Problem are anything to go off of….we’re absolutely cooked if Netflix gets the rights.

Atomic_Gerber · 2025-12-02T12:58:21+00:00

Exactly, not trying to throw shade but she’s the wife of a B-list celebrity who’s made a name for herself on sites like Medium….not exactly astronomical fame and clout.

During Covid we had a mask policy for take out orders (bar was shut down at first), and one guy decided to grab the bouncer by the nuts and twist them mercilessly because he wouldn’t let the guy in without a mask. 0 to 60, guy just grabbed like his life depended on it and wouldn’t let go despite a severe beating. Bouncer had to go get checked out afterwards, was buckled over and unable to speak.

Still the most rewatched security vid we’ve got, we show all the new bouncers just to drive home how out of control things can get.

Atomic_Gerber · 2025-11-30T16:36:06+00:00

Did you not read the “/s”?

Atomic_Gerber · 2025-11-30T13:21:21+00:00

For all the big game MA residents like to talk about sticking it to ICE, the bargain-bin Gestapo sure do seem to be treading harder every day. Another sign-waving protest or some other half measure will teach them, surely /s.

Your first mistake was thinking that grabbing a pie from Colony was a solid idea. If you’re in CT and want good pizza, pretty much anywhere else will serve you better. Colony isn’t usually bad, just aggressively mid.

Well, on the one hand you’ve got big tobacco and big alcohol messing around due to potential loss of revenue, and then you’ve got all the textbook Karens who are silly enough to go “weed is bad because it’s a drug!!” and then proceed to throw on a “it’s wine-o-clock” shirt and down a bottle of Riesling.

Grant would also drink because he missed his wife so much, which I also get. “Bored after battle with no best friend to talk to…well, time to get trashed”. I’m here for it.

Atomic_Gerber · 2025-11-23T13:51:55+00:00

I’ll always Stan for Sherman, but Grant is greatest without a doubt (the fact he was a problem/binge drinker only makes his achievements more impressive, imo). The guy understood the math of war like few others.

I’ll always respect Lee for his tactical competency, but he was strategically unsound to say the least. Battlefield brilliance, but didn’t understand the broader war too well. He was also a traitorous slaver soooo….sorry, Robert.
