The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

For untold years the elite grift has depended on acting like we all believe the same things. Turning on a dime to "No it's fine, you can say slurs now, King President can install a Dave & Busters in the White House if he wants" fucks the whole game up. They haven't realized this yet, but they will.

Summers/Epstein + Nuzzi/RFK/Lizza has done more than anything else to help me understand why elites have capitulated to fascism while normal ppl haven't. After decades of hot air from elites/their institutions about freedom, democracy, equality etc, they reveal they have no beliefs or morals at all

sometimes you have to calm your husband down by saying hey remember the trips we took? And then you mention the Berlin Trip you were mostly not there for because of Reasons.

Notifications on this have just been 24 straight hours of hundreds of people loving John Candy and that's been nice.
You really could just put a tight camera on John Candy with nothing but him and the driver's seat of a car in frame and then watch him almost wordlessly do five of the funniest minutes in the history of movies.

The printers have subscription fees like do you know how crazy that is? You can bring that thing in your house, plug it up with the ink and toner YOU bought and a little pop up will be like “yeah so the monthly or annual?”

I’ve not heard of a Black Friday deal worth leaving the house for since the 2010s. We all got flat screens. There’s no new consoles. The printers got subscription fees. The phones aren’t going down. Couldn’t tell you what ppl are buying but junk they don’t need

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.

trans people, especially kids, are a existential threat to the foundation of conservatism because they inherently require allowing your propert, er sorry kids, a degree of autonomy to transition. they’re a threat to them the same way no fault divorce was and is
The universal descent into utter bugfuckery by all these “gender critical” or whatever types seems like there’s something else there and they’re all grasping onto trans shit as a way to do something other than mere out-group hatred, you know?

….i should rewatch Phantom Thread, the only good rom com of recent vintage
Dude MAGNOLIA still hits. A symphony, relentless and turbulent. One of the most painful, hopeful movies ever made. And probably the key to understanding PTA’s whole deal as a Dad Obsessive.
