Rain Man made $354M in 1988 & won 4 Oscars & don’t get me started on Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Given how much political discourse over the past few days has been dominated by parsing emails in order to better speculate about the depraved sexual inclinations of financial and political elites, I have to admit that Pizzagaters won culturally, even if they were wrong in the specifics.

Roommate flat-out asked me last night, “Are we invading Venezuela?” Fun times in the Fascist States of Amerikkka, let me tell ya. Especially since the only thing that might slow it down is if the President started feuding with a member of his own caucus because she went on The View...oh wait...

The mighty huntress woke us up to make sure we knew she's still got it. "Great, Sylvie," I told her. "I saw a rat four times that size belly crawling out from under the garage door last night, but go off I guess."

If conspiracy theorists didn’t all just become boring Trump partisans, they would have a very strong story here about MAGA and deep state pedophilia, including trying to coach Epstein until it was too late and you had to have him whacked in prison
A deep dive on how Mr. Populism himself, Steve Bannon, was Epstein’s legal and media coach — “devising responses to the gathering storm of public outrage about Epstein’s criminal history.”

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

"presidential themed balls"
New: A site licensing Trump's name is selling merch with the presidential seal — including a $20 beer-pong set with “Presidential themed balls.”

Federal law says you can’t manufacture or sell likenesses of the seal without authorization.

Trump-Licensed Presidential Seal Beer Pong Set Could Violate Federal Law
A site affiliated with Lee Greenwood sells merchandise with the seal—such as a $20 beer pong set with “Presidential themed balls”—and pays licensing fees to a Trump LLC.

If it was my job to inscribe the sutra on Hoichi's flesh to protect him from ghosts, I would simply remember to tattoo his ears as well.

I see otherwise sensible people getting lost in the conspiracyballs with Epstein. The ruling class are not chessmasters or Eyes Wide Shut style decadent cultists. They're shambolic, grubby, foolish people, blinded by greed, privilege, and hubris. Same with states and intelligence services.

Gonna escape the hellish reality of the bloodthirsty US military industrial complex & the not-so-secret club of rich perverts with their hands on its controls by...going home & playing some Metal Gear.

Maybe it's not "woke" or "groovy" to say this, but I think that illegal wars of aggression aimed at overthrowing foreign governments are bad.

Called it.
Breaking news: High-level discussions over whether to attack Venezuela — and how — have been underway for days.

It remains unclear if President Trump has decided to pursue such an escalation.

Someone busted in here to accuse me of being unfair to the entire subculture and I would just like to confirm in case there was any doubt:

Yes I hate all gamers, without exception.

Please do not check my steam history.
I am very disappointed that the revelation Arc Raiders uses AI voices hasn't completely destroyed the game.

Gamers, as always, are the weakest fucking link.

"This is definitely the first instance of one President blowing another President!" the curators of the presidential libraries of Millard Fillmore and Franklin Pierce exclaim a little too loudly, almost in unison.
