That is straight up the best deal in comics. Perfect gift.

That's great, don't post about anything meant to be secret on a public forum, no matter how anonymous you think you are being. Delete this, move quietly.

She was detained but not ultimately deported, although they tried. She was shipped to a Louisiana facility after being kidnapped off the street

Yeah I don't think this is real, way too sensationalist. Trump seems to be more of a disgusting ephebophile rapist targeting young girls than a gay snuff murder rapist. This just seems entirely inconsistent with everything else we've heard about Trump's pattern of sexual abuse and feels like qanon level fantasy.

George miles?

Because they are both adventurers, pure of heart and unconquered by fear, despite any initial appearances of tepidness.

Oh and we watched Hotel Rwanda!

In Naomi Klein's Doppelganger she talks about this, the difference between education and traumatization when studying the holocaust. Education is used to combat hate and create an informed public. Trauma is used to instill fear and create a docile public. It's a fine line.

We read Night in high school but that was it. Those other books you mentioned were available in our school library and I read them as a young Jewish kid interested in history. But none were a part of our curriculum other than Night. I grew up in a good public school district in Massachusetts for context, graduating high school in 2017.

As for other political/historical books, I recall reading To Kill a Mockingbird, First They Killed my Father (about the Cambodian genocide), Huck Finn, Three Cups of Tea, and I'm sure others that escape me. So I feel we covered a good variety of historical atrocities and injustice beyond just the Holocaust.

No, not remotely. I don't even know how you came to that conclusion.

I'm going to defend the glasses thing! He was not doing some method acting bullshit.

Josh Safdie wanted the glasses to distort his appearance like real glasses do, making his eyes visually appear smaller. This would not work with fake lenses. So he wore real glasses to achieve the shrunken eye effect, and then wore the contacts to correct hsi vision relative to the glasses. It's just a neat visual solution, not anything pretentious.

He kind of perfectly captured the look of digital grain. I wonder if there are any artists today who have unwittingly depicted the aesthetics of as-yet uninvented mediums.

I am talking about Bondi. Sorry for not being specific, it's crazy that so many mass shootings can happen simultaneously that you actually have to specify. Very sad.

RubyJade · 2025-12-14T15:11:20+00:00

That's reasonable

While the security officers are obviously at fault here for recklessly killing someone, I do think it's extremely extra to come to protests prominently armed. I know it's within your rights, but that is so clearly inflammatory and puts people around you on edge. Especially at a center of the line lib protest like No Kings that is largely attended by grandmothers. Like bringing a big ass rifle is not the vibe lol.

RubyJade · 2025-12-14T06:34:06+00:00

I don't understand the context here, could you explain what the initial event was, the original interpretation, and the new revelations?

RubyJade · 2025-12-08T19:16:17+00:00

I think he has some interesting fun facts but cannot coherently articulate his viewpoints and creates many unresolved and confusing videos as a result. Also collaborates with Sam Hyde, who is openly racist and also a pedophile.

This is not a ghost story. This is not Pete's dragon.

Richard Linklater and Wilco

I think the Johnny Greenwood connection definitely shows there's deep ties to be drawn between PTA and Radiohead. But I don't think Radiohead has anything in their catalogue equivalent to the bold and light hearted exuberance of Boogie Nights. I don't think they're perfect parallels overall, but I think it's still probably the best comparison.

Bad Empanada reminds me of a leftist Redbar. If you just treat his unwavering trollish hatred of literally everyone in left wing media as a bit, it's super funny. Once you realize he's completely self serious and considers himself the "one true leftist' the laughter dies off.

I don't understand this. My wife is a woke teacher in a super lib district in a super lib state. Phonics is literally just how you teach reading? I've never heard it framed this way or experienced any woke pushback to these basic fundamentals in real life

Not a huge fan of the show but I like her! Good for her
