One thing that makes me depressed is that we’re bringing back medieval blood libel for minority groups (Haitians and Somalis in particular) and where once normies would be shocked or ignorant, now they’re saying stuff like “perfidis Judaeis-cels be seething over Good Friday chads” bc of TikTok

Well it was pretty fun, I was a co-winner. I still don't think it's all that worth it because it has no replayability and I don't feel like dropping $17 for a game that is intended to be one-and-done.
Playing a murder mystery game with some family tonight and frankly these rules seem very complicated for a social interaction that will very likely involve getting at least a bit shitfaced, like much of my family does.

My college friends successfully pranked me into thinking my senior thesis was due three weeks sooner than it actually was so that I would work on it - I believed the false due date for an entire weekend

"Didn't the New Atheists create the alt-right?"
I'm sure some joined GamerGate, which spawned all that insanity. But the American far-right is OVERWHELMINGLY Christian.
In contrast, atheists are the most left-wing group in America bar none. Roughly 30% are socialist!

Enough. Enough with the Woke Anti-Atheism.
Every left atheist has done the "Do you condemn Harris? Do you condemn Dawkins?" schtick for a decade.
Christian Nationalists run the country. Their delusions justify their insane social policy. Atheists talk about it ALL THE TIME.

I have no empirical data to back this up, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the younger generation of the sort of traditional, patrician Republican set (the Bushes, Adams', the Oyster Bay Roosevelts, etc.) are probably heavily immersed in the far right. Does anyone actually know about this?

Under this framework passing the Enabling Act was liberalism
She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

I think European directors generally need to take a chill pill and stop producing misery porn the continent's cinema is so well known for.

I need to preface this by saying it was a very well-made film. Lanthimos is a talented director, he is absolutely no hack. I will even say, based on the argument my dad and I had, it has a lot of artistic merit.
I hated this film. Of the three Lanthimos films I have seen, I despise this the most.

Scratch that, Mom has decreed that we are watching Bugonia instead. So, now watching. Maybe this will be a movie of his I actually like.

Now watching. Well, after all, it was a Lion in Winter season, so it seemed appropriate. And as I said before, I am curious how Ivan the Terrible Part II compares with this in its depiction of a sovereign in conflict with his chief cleric.
