I think JKR was friends with Epstein but not a paedophile, she was just in it for the love of the game (transphobia).

Lenin walks around the world. Frontiers cannot bar him. Neither barracks nor barricades impede. Nor does barbed wire scar him.

Lenin walks around the world. Black, brown, and white receive him. Language is no barrier. The strangest tongues believe him.

Lenin walks around the world. The sun sets like a scar. Between the darkness and the dawn. There rises a red star.

I believe Barbieheimer worked because they were distinctly different films tonally and the juxtaposition was funny in an organic way. Dune will be more serious but they're both sci fi action films.

For a lot of history abortion was not criminalised. Not because it wasn't necessarily considered sinful or bad or whatever. But because everyone knew the alternative was infanticide.

Catholics only changed the policy in the 19th century from memory. Protestants took until the evangelical movement of the 70-80s to turn on it. Before then if you cared people thought you were a secret papist.

Israel told me Iran keeps shooting down their F-35s so I asked how many F-35 they have and they said they just goes to the USA and get a new F-35 afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding F-35s to Iran and then their daughter started crying.

large-adult-son telling those libs on a podcast trying to ambush him in 2020 that Iran needs a nuke, remains evergreen.

There's a conspiracy theory (I believe sort of) that a series of international art heists of the mid 2010s were banked rolled by the PRC to return Chinese artifacts taken during the century of humiliation.

Libs and chuds thinks it portrays the PRC as sinister and secretive not based AF which it would be if true.

I tend to think the professional robbers know that representatives from PRC will buy them and store them for the future, but not that they're actively commissioning the heists.

Man this one hit different this morning (so much worse).

Like a minor national celebrity, who was first nations and gay, getting murdered homophobically, during pride month no less.

Like we'd correctly call out this in fiction as too heavy handed.

Crazy to skip over WW2 on that Wikipedia artivle I'd call the Nazis killing several million Ukrainians (include a million odd Ukrainian Jews) a form of language suppression.
