I mean yeah, that's not that weird I'm not a supporter but I don't believe most of that stuff either. The idea that libs don't get this is kind central to their not being able to convince these voters - their appeals to this-will-end-democracy maybe work for Dick Cheney (maybe) but mostly they make you sound like you're catastrophizing.

Didn't like it personally (but glad you did) though I have to give respect that the idea of this alter dimension where old characters are banished was the most forgivable reason for a bunch of fan service.
Also the "Van Milder" line and the ::: spoiler spoiler Chris Evans ::: gag were both very good, credit where credit is due.

I mean, that's not really meaningful to say alcohol is a poison at any amount - whether something is a poison or not is an intrinsic property. By this logic even a nanoliter of ethanol once in your life is worse than a lifetime of eating nothing but cake.
And FWIW high cholesterol, diabetes, heart and circulatory disease do cause a wide range of harms with a substantial body count.

I mean unless you're having an extremely small amount of ice cream and cake isn't this fairly uncontroversial?

A problem that's very funny but also quite annoying if you forget about it is: if you run too far in the wrong type of shirt (without a bra or tape) the fabric will abrade the outer layer of your nipples.

https://xcancel.com/TrueAnonPod/status/1522930462607364096#m Was chatting with a bud about whether the Trump 9/11 tweet was the best tweet of all time and reread this thread for the first time in a while. So many banger lines when dude is on he is on. I never read his responses to his reply guys before I missed those.
Watching *El Golpe Blanco* (1975) right now about the attempt for a parliamentary coup by reaction in Chile before the military coup. Flick opens with a shot of Langley and a voiceover from [UK journalist and defector to the GDR John Peet](https://crimereads.com/john-peet-the-spy-who-never-was/) where he just shrugs off "CIA headquarters in Langley near Washington: one of the instruments of US monopoly capital in its global strategy of counterrevolution." Like there's no bullshit, no both sidesing, just plainly calling a spade a spade so refreshing. It's hard to find but you can get links to it here https://www.umass.edu/defa/film/9642. Also, the free streaming service Kanopy has a ton of DEFA flicks to work your way through, all you need is a library card.
Approximately what percent of post-tax income and how many Big Macs could that buy in your area? (No fair counting your union dues haha) Been thinking about it since I suggested a techbro user tithe 10% of his earnings to a local org earlier today. Thinking about how much my org could get done if we had a couple (or even one) techbro interested in clearing their conscience with a 10% tithe. On the other end of the spectrum one of the organizers I support asks members to donate 0.1% of their post-tax income. I think it's noteworthy because nominally it sounds like such an achievable target that most people would struggle to argue they couldn't afford. Me: a little more than 1% of my post-tax income, spread across three orgs - mostly going to mutual aid. It would buy 9-10 Big Macs here.
This was an off-handed remark I came across in Mike Davis' *Late Victorian Holocausts*. I initially thought this might be another example of my incredible Canadian education leaving out our minimizing the significance of a socialist project. I don't know a ton about the Red River Rebellion but I've found it pretty difficult to find any other similar descriptions online of his group as socialists. Is this just a quick hot take by our boy Mikey Davis? Or is this a bird-brained statement? Surely Hexbear knows.
I went for a run and missed it, and boy can you not use a search engine to find an Imane Khelif match rn

Great documentary from 2005 on war resistance during Vietnam, posing the thesis that the main reason the war closed was due to active and passive resistance at all levels. Force any lib who calls you classist for criticizing US vets to watch this. These mfs were straight up killing their COs. [Watch for free at 1080p here](https://youtu.be/2AOQvFPb7aU?si=Jz8RFdGyLdJMEDr1). Boots Riley wrote the song [*Captain Sterling's Little Problem*](https://youtu.be/FUKUtxtBvMA?si=bsdDaROLX5kbfI7S) for the soundtrack (with Tom Morello), and it remains one of his best tracks.
