I turned it off last night when they had someone on talking about their son who was one of the hostages.

All this time to put a name and face to one victim but not to discuss the overall tragedy that has happened and is still happening to tens of thousands.

It was extremely tone-deaf, and if they were going to represent one side of the victims they really should have done so with the innocent Palestinians caught in the middle as well.

Yeah I need this too!

Ahahahaha... ahem.

The thing I said was a bad look for the trailer yesterday was made up. And here I'd been thinking Coppola had a file folder of critics that gave him bad reviews.

Nope. I have no clue what their thinking was here but it's definitely turned me away from watching.

Shows up to speak truth to power.

Has no interest in speaking truth to power.

Alrighty then. Thanks for holding back the vote you would've never bothered to cast anyway.

It's really not a good sign when Coppola spends a third of the trailer harping on his own hits and how critics at the time didn't appreciate them and uses it as a callback.

Feels a little bit like Stephen King writing himself into The Dark Tower.

Cis man here, 50. Ally in Minnesota.

I would never think twice about you. You look like a dude.

I'm always amused at the downvotes it collects. People hammering a button to acknowledge their dislike of something they are choosing to not block.

My only problem with these bots is that I don't want them counted toward comments - I hate going in to find the only comments are bots.

I can't get over them still calling them Knives Out mysteries. It really seems like a terrible misstep.

They were fun movies but not compelling enough mysteries.

Simple solution: eight years time served, three years community service assisting women just getting out of prison who have abusive pasts.

Help end the cycle.

Hour old account, has 88 in the username. Not at all subtle.

As another commenter pointed out, I was thinking of the 5200. But yeah, I was also doubtful.

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

 

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

 

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
