Incredibly, in the last seven days, an entire week has happened. This is absolutely unprecedented.

Viet Namese communist party leader Nguyen Phu Trong dead. Weeks where decades happen. Probably more capitalist reforms in store for Viet Nam. Sigh. Let's hope they at least get someone pro-China and pro-Russia to strengthen the anti-West alliance

He met him eating mushrooms in the People's Park

He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'

No, I will not elaborate.

Okay, I will elaborate a little. I hate disney movies, they're all slop, but I loved the last PotA trilogy (Rise, Dawn, War), in fact War is one of my favourite movies of all time. I was extremely concerned with the big mouse bought Fox that they would disneyfy PotA but Kingdom had similar vibes to the last trilogy and had some really lovely moments, e.g. the observatory scenes and any scene with Raka. Soundtrack was also nice. I liked it.

Incredible scenes in Victory Park. Watch the video. Russians in the thousands touching and laughing at broken western tanks. A sign above a ~~nazi~~ german tank reads "History is repeating itself." stalin-shining

This is the official hexbear Dune discussion thread (not really)

I watched the new Dune and enjoyed the films from a cinematic/fantasy perspective but wasn't super on-board with the politics as I thought the message was simply 'leaders bad', but what didn't come across (imo) from the movies and what I'm learning from discussion of the books is that the message is more nuanced than that: Herbert's message wasn't "don't blindly follow leaders because they're evil", but "don't blindly follow leaders because movements based on blind belief are a force of their own and can sweep everyone up into a mess, even if that was not at all the intention", and there are of course examples of that happening throughout human history. I want to hear all of your thoughts on the books, the films, and the messages. Thanks. heart-sickle

It's like someone asked ChatGPT to turn the book into a dumb anglo sitcom.

-Every character is emotionally immature, spiteful, and sassy. None of the 'friends' act like friends. None of the characters talk like real people. They're constantly insulting or hitting each other. It's just embarrassing. The actors have nothing to work with.

-All the major twists/reveals are shown in the first two episodes. No suspense, no build-up, no pay-off. Rushed is an understatement.

-Single characters from the book have been unnecessarily split into multiple new characters adding nothing to the story.

-The story is a cosmic horror but comedy and romance have been forced in for no reason whatsoever except as filler, which is even more mind-boggling because they've essentially rushed all of the good stuff in the book to make room for unfunny jokes.

-Apparently they could barely afford any sets and extras, so scenes and locations that are supposed to be bristling with sights and people just feel oddly empty. Even the special effects feel muted. The budget is just weirdly limited, and the show looks much cheaper than the Tencent series.

-Almost all of the science (which is the interesting stuff) has been gutted from this science fiction.

I hate anglo slop. Where is the kino. Tencent pls adapt The Dark Forest.

The Barbies pokemon-go to the polls and vote out the Kens. It's mind-numbingly stupid. Remember how that strategy went in 2016? It doesn't deserve the awards.

President Xi, please open up a third front in Taiwan. The US and its allies cannot supply Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan rebels simultaneously. The fascists cannot win a war on three fronts.
