i think it took me about 45 minutes when i realized he wasn't going to turn on anyone that vince vaughn was cast as the 'hot young guy' rather than 'budget 1990s tom sizemore'

there are four characters whose primary character trait is *tough outdoorsman/woman* in this picture. nobody is jacked! the chaotic evil english big game hunter is pete postelwaithe!

my kids like dinosaurs and talked me into watching the lost world (1997). remember it being painful when i saw it in the 1990s, by today's standards its (very, very) dumb fun.

one thing that really really sticks out is how *normal* everyone's bodies are by today's action movie standards

in less than five minutes Sweden will have played three hours of competitive football against Kosovo without producing a single decent chance

update: sweden is now down a goal to kosovo in gothenburg

mike runey @molenasreddin.bsky.social · 1d

the mood is that if sweden loses to kosovo in world cup qualifying again tonight we're going to invade denmark

det vore utmärkt om det här blev det normaliserade svaret varje gång begreppet 'tvångsblandning' används

Johannes Klenell @johannesklenell.bsky.social · 1d

Är du någon sorts barn? Det kallas stadsplanering och har alltid varit en del av svensk politik. Tvångsvblandning är er rasistiska term för detta. Inte ett legitimt begrepp.

do people think the boys from brazil is a documentary for some reason?

when and where did the online american leftist idea that this describes anywhere in latin america begin

to his relative credit he repeatedly got himself into promising situations before fucking them up; even as a lone forward you could forget gyökeres was even out there for ten fifteen minutes at a stretch

mike runey @molenasreddin.bsky.social · 3d

honestly did not think it was possible for a team starting alexander isak and viktor gyökeres to look this terrible. major accomplishment by jon dahl tomasson here

mike runey @molenasreddin.bsky.social · 3d

on the one hand it is not great watching bergvall and isak fumble ball after ball and miss three open goals. on the other hand gyökeres hasn't even had a decent chance to blow

great to see the replay of an unmarked lucas bergvall whiffing on a slow moving ball in front of an open goal a few more times. feels good, love to watch sports, go Sweden

to be clear to non-swedes why this sucks so much: stockholm is the largest city and the economic capital of scandinavia. this is THE ONLY TRAIN CONNECTION THE CITY HAS WITH EUROPE

mike runey @molenasreddin.bsky.social · 4d

we're killing the stockholm-berlin overnight train because although every seat sells out months in advance, the route itself doesn't turn a profit for the state-owned railway and therefore must go

Regeringen slaktar nattåget till Berlin. Detta har varit mitt sätt att arbetspendla. Fasen vad ledsen och arg jag blir. Varför ska ni förstöra precis allt som är bra. Ni kan dra åt helvete!

every day brings a fresh hell

seems unclear to me whether the stockholm-hamburg route will continue but i am choosing to believe it will so i can stay calm enough to get work done this morning

a day later its still very funny to me that dsa national committee people - who had nothing to do with zohran's campaign and has not even endorsed him - are doing a european junket to explain to members of infinitely more successful left parties how they got zohran elected

mike runey @molenasreddin.bsky.social · 5d

skulle bli spännande att åka till vänsterdagarna för att höra hur två medlemmar av dsas nationalkommitte, som inte hade någonting alls med Mamdanis kampanj att göra och som har aktivt motverkat new york dsa i flera år, tar åt sig äran för Mamdanis succe!

a friend at HUD spent most of 2014 jumping through bureaucratic hurdles and campaigning internally just to get permission to *have* a twitter account for her program

Once upon a time, the social media accounts of federal agencies weren't a stream of fascist, white nationalist garbage interlaced with whiny culture-war posts. Earlier this year, even!
