The father of seven has not finished a thought in four years. he is just moving. feeding. driving. wiping. his brain is soup and his back is finished and he has no opinions about civilization he is too tired for opinions. and meanwhile civilization is growing out of him like he is dirt and he doesnt even notice because there is milk on the floor again. the childfree man has read eleven books this year about the decline of the west and he is the decline and the books are the evidence and he will understand this at fifty eight in a room that is very clean and very quiet

@Steve_Sailer i guess the question depends on why one thinks people make movies in the first place

In all this endless discourse, has anybody yet come up with a theory of how Nolan's diversity casting choices _improved_ the movie? All I'm hearing so far are things like:
- But film was good anyway.
- Only on screen 5 minutes.
- Why are you asking? Are you racist?
- I hate you.

@soncharm our best minds will figure this out the perfect CO2 amount. and when they do i want the earth's thermostat set at a comfy 72F degrees. just putting this out there now.

It’s amazing how convinced ~8 billion people are that emitting [a normal gas in our atmosphere, which people breathe out and plants breathe in] ‘will be a problem for them’ solely because of slop black-box mathematical models they have no means of inspecting let alone evaluating
Climate Kev@climate_kev1
It’s amazing how convinced ~ 8 billion people are that emitting ~2.5 trillion tons of co2 into the atmosphere won’t be a problem for them.

@Steve_Sailer i remember people saying that when it came out, but I always took it for a joke-promotion in the spirit of the movie itself. and kinda clever.

"O Brother Where Art Thou?" is one of the most enjoyable movies I've ever seen. But I don't actually think it's an adaptation of "The Odyssey" in any but the goofiest sense.

Need prayers. Had some medical testing done, and it was implied that if it took a long time to get the results back that probably meant something bad. It has now reached the point of a long time with no word back.

They have? I have no idea what movie this is

You know the online Right is truly spiraling into brain death when they’ve convinced themselves that this is a masterpiece of world cinema

😱 Make a movie about a woman who turns into a guy!

Christopher Nolan says ‘THE ODYSSEY’ has made him more interested in making a horror film but he still needs to find a really effective idea. “When you go see a film like ‘Obsession’, that’s an amazing idea. That movie works like a motherfucker.” (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-f…)

@cineculture_x Exactly why the cancellation of this show was an utter tragedy.

Agreed and I’ll give you an example.
I have read more of Machiavelli, and studied the words, the source material, the academia in depth.
Ditto Thucydides and I have kept meticulous notes and gotten into weeds on everything Ive read on their works and the history and social climate of was written in.
Only thing I haven’t done was learn the languages they were written in.
I also study who the works were intended to satisfy. And so on
I don’t scold people for reading the books superficially, in fact they’re way better off rather than digging thru all the rabbit holes.
Likewise when people ask me what translation to read, such a silly and petty question. The differences between the translations are so minute, just slight variations of small words and comma placements. For me this stuff is kinda crucial. But for the average person who just wants to get the just and move on with their lives - it doesn’t make one iota of a difference.
Likewise all the geniuses especially in military and political theory who lie to their stupid audiences and have not read the material - aka Colin Powell testimony but whatever.
If people enjoy the movie and get its gists - it’s a good movie
The Woman@DarkCityWakeup
@adamscrabble It’s about the spell of the story & immersion of the movie. Directors can successfully do adaptation & interpretation of ancient/classic text without injection of the culture war. See Romeo + Juliet (1996)

Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.

@soncharm I feel like I saw that one and They Shall Not Grow Old in the same month. That was a pretty good month.

You know what’s a good movie though is 1918. Watched this randomly the other day. Directed by Sam Mendes, turns out. Couldn’t stop watching, just kept thinking how amazing this is the whole way through. Not sure I’ve seen a better movie made within the past decade. “How didn’t I hear more about this thing? Why didn’t it get all sorts of praise and awards? Everyone’s been sleeping on this gem, I gotta tell people about this”. Then afterwards I looked it up & it did get all sorts of praise and awards. Oh

"It's a lot harder than I thought it would be."
This is a lesson a lot of people could stand to learn, about a lot of things.
Hollywood Horror Museum@horrormuseum
Stephen King hated Stanley Kubrick's version of THE SHINING 1980 In 1997 he wrote and produced a TV miniseries of The Shining, that got mixed and bad reviews. King was later quoted as saying "It's a lot harder then I thought it would be."

Talk of ‘statute of limitations’ on complaining about (what is described as) 2020-21 peak Woke craziness appears premised on the idea that Woke craziness actually did peak then, is on permanent wane, the danger of recurrence gone.
I don’t think there’s any reason to believe this though.
Similarly with the Public Health Fascism that was insta-embraced by the entire elite technobureaucracy and hastily shoved down all our throats at that time. People say we shouldn’t talk about that anymore too.
But these things can and, as far as I know will, recur in a mass-mania anytime. I see no reason whatsoever to believe they can’t or won’t. They’re not ‘gone’ they’re not ‘a thing of the past’, I’m not convinced of that at all.
And saying Hey bro that was like 5 years ago (let’s just not ever even talk about or address it) does not help convince me of it. If anything it’s part of a hibernation strategy that guarantees it will.

What should be the statute of limitation on discussing woke censorship? I think it should be 10 years after the Dr Seuss books that were pulled from publication and from library shelves are finally re-printed.

Crazy how it's 2026 and the vast majority of the world still doesn't seem to understand they need to be shooting video in landscape mode
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
Today, our long-range sanctions worked across three areas on Russian territory, as well as on our temporarily occupied land and at sea. In particular, in response to Russian strikes on our civilian infrastructure and on our cities and communities, two major logistics facilities were hit – in the Moscow and Tambov regions, more than 500 and nearly 700 kilometers from the front line. The aggressor used them to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment. An oil facility was also struck. In addition, Ukrainian mid-range strikes engaged targets in the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, and in our temporarily occupied Crimea. I thank the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine – every unit of Ukraine's Defense Forces – for their precise and coordinated execution of these missions. Glory to Ukraine!

Last night the entire media establishment was spooked. Selfie videos and posts from Dems including Kamala. That says it all.
2WAY@2waytvapp
“When I hear complaints from Democrats that, ‘we can’t air false election claims because that will discourage the voters,’ … I say, ladies and gentlemen, the media aired false election claims about ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ for the entirety of the Trump presidency,” says @MarkHalperin about TV news networks refusing to air Donald Trump’s primetime address. “So get off your frigging fainting couches and don’t tell me that we cannot listen to political leaders making false accusations about an election.” @RapidResponse47

Can someone please explain how Austin has become aggressively more socialist/communist/radical activist despite having 5+ years of documented influx of businesses and common sense people fleeing other socialist cities and states to come here?
We used to have a shred of balance on city council and District Attorney and judicial system and school board…..but now, every elected official is progressive or far-left….all of them.
How does that happen?
I find it suspicious that the voter registrar of over 950,000 area residents is controlled by radical activist Celia Israel….

Lettuce was always a pointless vegetable. No meaningful nutrition. Ag Department should grant subsidizes to help farmers transition away from growing it. Total waste of resources in every way.
Cernovich@Cernovich
“No one wants to pick lettuce for $7 an hour, that’s a labor shortage!” Or maybe it’s because iceberg lettuce doesn’t have any nutrients the way hothouse leafy greens do. Maybe we don’t need as much, since people don’t value it enough to pay. Economics 101.

After EOD School I was assigned to Technical Escort Center, Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. One day, I walked off post to a sub sandwich shop. Upon returning to post, a guy pulled up in a car and rolled his window down. He asked me why I wasn't in school. I was puzzled. Turns out, he was the local Truant Officer. I told him that I wasn't in school because I was in the Army. I told a friend Mike Campbell about it, and to this day, he still brings it up. I was 18 years old at that time. In this photo, I'm 19, an SP/4, and on my way to Vietnam. I guess if I looked this young at 19, I probably looked a little younger at 18 when the Truant Officer inquired. What I've realized is this -- no matter your age, if you work hard and focus on the present, you're just you. Looks and age become irrelevant.
