I dunno. Maybe we'll find some anti-Semitic statements hidden somewhere in the Mandelbrot Set...
This. Expecting no international violence from a US President is like expecting no crime from a Mafia Don. It kind of goes with the job. But one can...
Can't you pass another Voting Rights Act? Sounds like it's badly needed...
I thought it was reasonably good. I'm not aware if it's been acclaimed by critics as more than that.
From October to Brest-Litovsk by Leon Trotsky I enjoyed Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution, a detailed if somewhat biased account of the...
There was a blind guy who was a force user who worshipped at a Jedi temple, and there was a pivotal role for Darth Vader. The Jedi and Sith should...
A Promised Land by Barack Obama Political memoirs are something I seem to enjoy yet not read a great volume of, so it will be worth making more of...
I'm not seeing what she actually said, can someone in the know post it up? It would need to be fairly extreme for me to agree that this was warranted.
That's....disconcerting.
Coincidentally, I watched one of his more recent movies - Remember- a couple of nights ago. He was great in it. The next day I heard he had died. :(
What happens if a Proud Boy/Nazi/oldfella goes to Canada now then? Do the SWAT teams move on him?
It depends. On the one hand, where the existence of an exploited underclass driving profits depends on the "otherness" of this underclass being...
The elites are circling the wagons. Facebook has also banned a related group.
They put the NHS (and parts of the military I believe) in charge of the rollout, rather than handing it off to their mates in the private sector as...

Very silly stuff, but an entertaining nostalgia trip nonetheless.
Stupid, even for you.
Just caught up after bingeing it, since everyone was praising it. And it is indeed really good. If only Star Trek could do a series of this quality.
Do you think they're going to revisit those things? I don't. It's bad writing. Anyway, I thought this episode was very mixed again. The season was...
^^^There probably needs to be an official investigation into the whole thing, besides it just "going to court".
Trump's statement condemning the riot is actually hilarious. I was shocked, I tell you!!! I immediately deployed the national guard!!!
Aside from being a billionaire, which is unjustified for anyone, Elon Musk is a fucking twat. That is all.

Wow. Could we see the 25th in play yet?
This is the Irish foreign Minister. And we're usually very spineless when it comes to things like this. [media] Here is Boris Johnson's comments.
There are foreign leaders speaking out against Trump now, by the look of things. Hard to believe they're not co-ordinating.
Well, Twitter escalated things by marking his latest tweet as inciting violence, and not allowing anyone to like or retweet it. How long before they...
In his speech, Trump claimed that he was going to be part of the march on the Capitol. But where is he now? Sitting back watching what he's unleashed...
About fucking time.
