man the internet is full of russiabots and bitter ex-occupy gen xers who have all convinced themselves that any form of protest is inherently cringe

to be fair to the mulaney simps, a lot of the criticizers jumped ship when it turned out that his wife was very damaged and clueless, so maybe there was some truth to the idea that it wasn't pure moral criticism. but primarily parasocial where the other side was not? lol

prop @jailrespecter.bsky.social · 12h

remember when 3/4 of everybody was using "parasocial" to mean "morally criticizing famous white guys in any way" and the remainder was using it correctly, to mean the white knighting the other people were doing

they were white onitsukas, though, the yellow ones are tarantino's invention

he wears a couple other pairs of shoes in the film, full list here x.com/ProustBahulu...

Proust’s Bahulu على X: "That’s a misconception. Lee did wore Onitsuka Tiger (only white/blue/red but not during shoot), the shoes he wore during shooting were Jaguar Frapbois Moonstar, Sekaicho Panther Training and Asahi Cougar Sports. TL, DR Bruce Lee has never wore yellow Onitsuka Tigers." / X

ok i looked it up further. he never had the yellow ones. he wore white onitsukas on set, but they didn't make it into the film. the yellow shoes he wears in the film are moonstar jaguars. the yellow onitsukas are a kill bill original

i think the scenes where he wore them were never released or something

prop @jailrespecter.bsky.social · 14h

i looked it up but wikipedia has a very confusing answer, saying that he didn't wear them and it is a kill bill mandela effect, but he wore them on set for a scrapped version of the movie or something?

prop @jailrespecter.bsky.social · 14h

speaking of kill bill, did bruce lee actually wear yellow onitsuka tigers in game of death or is that a mandela effect caused by kill bill

i was doing the this down the phone at mr prop about how the movie got rid of DL and takeshi (literally us) but he was more interested in my thoughts on weed atman and reincarnation and the emo kid cult and the homeboys driving sean penn to yurok hell

i'm obsessed with vineland for smart people reasons as well as because it posits that you can be a gay nun AND repair all the karmic debts of the people around you AND have an asian passenger princess husband who always wants to stop for fast food and these ideas, while contradictory, flatter my ego

but pynchon's brain is so big and he is so good at esoteric catho-buddhist thought that he got straight to the concerns of the prequels and sequels even though he wrote it in 1990

prop @jailrespecter.bsky.social · 14h

vineland was always meant to be star wars. you can't write a catholic-buddhist-extremely-californian story about martial arts and finding out your real dad is evil and your real mom was a tragic simp and not have it be star wars. and he accidentally invented kill bill in the process

Dems tried to ensure troops get paid … and the GOP blocked it. Guessing Dems understood it would be popular.

it is not dems blocking the troops getting paid

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d

I expect that “should the troops get paid” is something most Americans would support if you polled it without any context.

The average American doesn’t give a shit how something happens, they just want good things to happen, however they define that.

Elected Dems haven’t adjusted to that reality.

i see this irl too - i have friends who subconsciously believe that it's not real validation unless it comes from a man so comically toxic that he makes tony hbo and walt hbo look like meryl streep as the ghost of ethel rosenberg
