OK, some new stuff. I attempt to figure out why average, everyday dullards are into conspiracy theories all of a sudden

@dissidentwest His Batman movies are the best, because the restraints of the franchise prevented him from indulging his worst impulses

You may have the courage to hate The Odyssey, but do you have the courage to hate the rest of Christopher Nolan’s overhyped and grotesquely pretentious filmography?

@bloatinus I'm fine with them resolving these matters however they see fit in the fine country of Mexico
English
One thing I love about Mexicans is that they really take this stuff seriously in a way others never would. Same goes with metal, the guys into extreme metal are real Satan worshippers, they're completely dead serious about everything. No sense of self-awareness, it's incredible.

The 1970s formations of The Ramones in NYC and the Sex Pistols in London led to an explosion of the punk, goth, and emo countercultures which eventually spread into Mexico. By 2008, these decades of subcultural evolution hit a breaking point in Mexico City, sparking a massive street brawl between 'traditional' Punks and 'new' Emos over the soul of the aesthetic. In a finale as surreal as the conflict itself, the war was only stopped when a group of Hare Krishnas marched into the middle of the riot, subduing the angry teenagers with chants, drums, and flowers proving that the only thing more powerful than a subculture feud is a well-timed tambourine.

🚨Watch @mtracey GO HARD at @BretWeinstein, CHALLENGING him on his podcasts he's put out and commentary surrounding Epstein.
Tracey: "I'm saying we should have a social norm of some kind, so that you face some kind of penalty for putting out this stuff!"
Weinstein: "I should face a penalty?!"
From a panel debate over: "Should we get rid of podcasts?" Feat. @Lauren_Southern's reactions.

@AlgisFarang I never understood why people thought his recommended movies list was so great, I had seen a bunch of them and found them mediocre. He didn't even select a particularly good Peckinpah.

@zermatist Mystery Grove said that they were surprisingly not that bad but he has notoriously awful taste so I assume they are wretched.

Now that the company is failing so bad, apparently because of its overinvestment in movies, I'm becoming somewhat curious to watch some

There was a time, not very long ago, when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media. That’s all over now, writes political columnist Ross Barkan. Shapiro’s company, ‘The Daily Wire,’ is instituting significant layoffs. Its YouTube channel’s subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts. “If a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed, in part, for the ‘Daily Wire’’s fall from grace — ill-fated investments in feature films, an epic fantasy series, and peculiar merchandise — the greater story is the collapse of Shapiro’s constituency,” writes Barkan. “There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026: It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party.” Read more: nymag.visitlink.me/KtpIKV

@thisismikev That's horrible haha
He needs to stay the hell away from them

@zermatist I think they were supposed to get S Craig Zahler for Ladyballers 2
English
@PotnikNikki Somehow I have my doubts... I'm predicting that they'll be lame, yet professional enough to where they're not even particularly entertaining as campy B-movies
English
@Ty777E Yeah, I mainly watched the film out of curiosity because of the album
English
@zermatist Apparently the album is way more well known than the film [which I’ve seen only in the most atrocious tape rip]
English
@DougiePJones Yeah, that's the other big fail on his part, I forgot about that one. But he is still capable of being funny IMO
English
@zermatist Nah, happened even earlier, the "Gorilla Nest" incident really showed what a lot of people who liked him (like me) even already knew: He's an insecure art school failson who resents that he wasn't a jock and massively overcompensates by being an abrasive asshole
English
The replies here have been surprisingly reasonable overall. I'm getting the sense that when Charlie Kirk got shot and he posted that (admittedly awful) "this is you" crying video on Youtube, something in his aura became irreparably damaged.

Why is everyone pretending Sam Hyde isn't funny all of a sudden

It's a good thing that the ever-vigilant left-wing was there to point out this flagrant corporate greed every step of the way
English
Actually, this may be the better one, since it supposedly includes a ton of info on how maps psychologically affected people and cultures
English
I should read this. The question of how the average person has mentally visualized "the world" over the passing centuries is fascinating to me
English
@zermatist Kind of aside the point but i havent though about baked alaska in years but didnt he end up in january 6th?
English
@SealOfTheEnd There's nothing lazy or dumb about uncovering the secret machinations of the Yetinsyn, that's just simply objective fact.
English
@zermatist Sort of ironic coming from someone with your .. handle.
