Kristi Noem doubles down on dog-killing to win over MAGA — here's why her story is backfiring by hrimfaxi_work in c/politics@lemmy.world
[-] hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 113 points 5 months ago

I'm pleased that she's experiencing the fallout from all this, but whatever logic she used to calculate that political risk is baffling.

Four John Wick movies have grossed over a billion dollars on the conceit that harming a dog is a legitimate emotional catalyst for someone to kill 450 people.

Every now and then, there's an article about some dumb shit a person on The View says. My reaction is always surprise that The View is still even a thing.

Nobody's saying your dipshit child doesn't work hard. They're saying he has access and opportunities few others do.

Is the only reason he's in a position to be cast for roles that you're his parent? Probably not. Is a reason he's in a position to be cast for roles that you're his parent? You're stupid if you don't think so.

Netflix Gave An Unproven Director $55 Million For A Sci-Fi Series, And He Blew It On Rolls-Royces, Crypto, And Dodgy Stock Bets by hrimfaxi_work in c/television@lemmy.world

If you're reading this, Netflix, I'm willing to do the exact same thing for just $40 million.

Add to this that the child is also made entirely of rubber and could easily withstand the train's impact and experience no measurable hardship. However, the impact of Superman halting the train caused wreckage to fly all over the place and damage the surrounding infrastructure.... which in this case is a metaphor for literal fucking infrastructure.

I stole this from somewhere:

We are the only superpredator known to exist. Our best friends are apex predators we allow to live in our homes and treat like children, and we are sufficiently skilled at predation that we have allowed them to give up hunting for survival.

We accidentally killed enough of the biomass on the planet that we are now in the Anthropocene era, an era of earths history that marks post-humanity in geological terms. We are an extinction event significant enough that we will be measurable in millions of years even if we all died tomorrow.

We are the only creature known that engages in group play fighting. Other animals play fight, but not in teams. This allowed us to develop tactics, strategy, and so on, and was instrumental in hunting and eventually war.

We are sufficiently deadly that in order for something to pose a credible threat to us, we have to make it up and give it powers that don't exist in reality. And even then, most of the time, we still win.

In seriousness, though, your 30s will be considerably less garbage than your 20s. Stuff on your body is gonna begin hurting more, and that's dumb, but you'll generally have fewer hangups about things and life's day-to-day gets more enjoyable.

The world is a flaming hellscape, but not every individual moment has to suck. I figured that out in my 30s 🙃

McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow' by hrimfaxi_work in c/workreform@lemmy.world

The guy who owns the franchise my nephew worked at in high school drove an actual Rolls Royce. He owned a few, but goddamn. The guy who owned the franchise I worked at 20 years earlier owned like 3 houses or something and flew planes as a hobby (idk if he owned one).

Excuse me for not giving a shit about a financial blow to people like them.

This is it, gang. Tonight we need to say goodbye until Joe Bob's Labor Day Ruckus or The Ethiopian New Year Hullabaloo or whatever. I'm going to desperately miss talking nonsense with your freaks & weirdos.

One last time (for now): take a moment to ensure that you've been duly sworn in by taking our sacred oath.

First Movie: ???

Second Movie: Day of the Dead

Darcy spilled the beans a couple weeks ago, so unless she was messing with us and JBB is really misdirecting us with that Florida clue, we know one of the films will be Day of the Dead. What do y'all think the other one will be?

Unless she was being cruel and misdirecting us, Darcy already spilled the beans that one of the films will be Day of the Dead (woop!). What does everyone think the other film will be?

I tried redoing Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran for tonight, but I couldn't wedge both caliginous and callipygian in there while also referencing Bastille Day and probably-werewolves. I failed you, fam! 😫

At any rate, you should know that you're legally obligated to get sworn in before that one guitar part punches you in the feels. So, raise your right hand...

First Movie: Alligator

There will be another Lemmy live discussion tomorrow night over at !driveinmovies@midwest.social. r/Shudder live discussion refugees are welcome!

https://twitter.com/therealjoebob/status/1679330522323886080?s=20

What do y'all think?

I'm really bad at guessing these, but I'm going to say An American Werewolf in London (1981) and Abominable (2006).

However! Tomorrow is Bastille Day, so I think it would be appropriate if Joe Bob and Darcy played Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001).

Lloyd Kaufman is ~~asking~~ begging for help!

On 27 June 2023, YouTube took down the TromaMovies channel over violations of its community standards, leaving many other channels up that commit the same violations. Selective enforcement of rules is not gangster, YT.

Here is the announcement from Lloyd Kaufman.

And here is a MoveOn.org petition gently asking YouTube to unfuck themselves. I know petitions are kinda whatever, but it's a thing we can do.
