Bowling for Soup really got it right. In the end most, if not all of us are simply reliving our high school years for the rest of our lives.

In an AI-generated, dystopian vision of the British capital, a video shows Big Ben smouldering above piles of rubbish and London crowds dressed in traditional Islamic garb.

Far-right leaders are seizing on such AI clips of European cities changed by migration to promote racist views

All glory to the Bangla-Filipino Workers' State of Arabia

Given the range of our diaspora this is an optimal income.

But also, the "I hate this country so it's ok to hate every resident and think they are subhuman" is a bad look. I think about people happily calling Russians orcs, which has really bothered me in the past. It's the same kind of thing, and it's dangerous.

This is why I prefer to interact with people who interact in good faith. Mostly people I follow or the other way around.

The Watsonian answer is that the cast is on the older side and therefore would be more Showa fans.

The Doylist is that the people making Kamen Rider fan works tend to also be on the older side.

The fact that protests now feature people who don’t normally have to worry about what might happen to them in an adverse encounter with security forces is a HUGE DEAL.

It means that the “real” victims don’t have to suffer alone. It means that some people care about something more than themselves

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 8h

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Ah, the shoes. Didn't remember those over the tracksuit.

rattatatouille @rattatatouille.bsky.social · 5h

There are pictures of it so he did. (It also served as the inspiration for the tracksuit-like suits in Juken Sentai Gekiranger/Power Rangers Jungle Fury, as well as the Persona Tomoe's design in Persona 4)

there is a kind of person who does not think any non-violent protest is legitimate and more often than not, they are the kind of person who will not show up to any protest, violent *or* non-violent

In fairness that doesn't sound all *that* bad, but I guess that's my political biases speaking.

It's not even just that they don't have an understanding of the world's beloved classics—it's that the depth of their cultural understanding is some graphic novels.

Like—get some Gilgamesh, some Tale of Genji, some Paradise Lost in the analysis.

one reason the MAGA types will be far less successful at co-opting culture than they think is they have zero understanding of the world's most beloved classics and sounds like sputtering fools trying to fit them into their worldview

Many of us grew up in the church being taught to root for Moses, Daniel, and John the Baptist in the Bible, only to grow up and have our churches question our faith for not cheering on the Pharaohs, Nebuchadnezzars, and Herods in our world today.
