I didn't know that Ivar "torture the queer and autism out of them" Lovaas, the monster who invented conversion "therapy"/ABA, was also a literal Nazi, but this is the least surprising fact ever.

H.S. Kallinger (he/they) @xakana.bsky.social · 6h

"Lovaas was a member of the NS Youth League, patterned after the Hitler Youth and named after the Norwegian Hirden paramilitary organization... Both he and his father are listed in Norway's "National Treason" files documenting Nazi collaboration."

He also said the Nazis inspired him to behaviorism.

every new bit of information that comes out after one of his movies bombs not doing much to disprove my theory that Leto has the most blackmailable dirt on every studio exec and producer working today

Moxie 🔜 blfc @dracocat.bsky.social · 8h

Its wild too because apparently Tron Ares was a different story/film initially but Leto wanted to explore his character so much he convinced the director to change it to focus on him.

“The first iteration of [Tron: Ares] was a different movie, but it had a character named Ares that [Leto] was cast as while we were in pre-production,” Wigutow says, “He really got his teeth into this character and really wanted to hold onto it, and ultimately came to me and said, ‘Let's just build a movie around this character. I want to understand this character, his origins, and I want to take him to a very different place.’ So that's really the provenance and the origin of this specific film is Jared's dogged persistence on getting it done, but also telling the story of this character specifically.”

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Many years ago, the very first thing I put on my first AR-15 build was a set of steel Magpul MBUS Pros before installing a proper optic on that rifle. Even back then, I would have been better-served just saving that money for a quality optic.

thank god the red zone channel started running commercials. when it was commercial-free i'd get to 7:30 p.m., look at how i'd spent my day, and realize i'd burned through an entire sunday without growing or developing at all as a consumer. and if i'm not a consumer i'm nothing at all

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

If you’re going to another country and telling people they’re going to suffer eternal damnation if they don’t adopt your beliefs and norms, that is not charity, no matter how you justify it with your religion
