Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Perhaps the two best anti-war songs ever written. respectful of veterans and their sacrifices, but refusing to glorify war.

I think MPs and departments of government should have to declare where they’re using LLMs and why — it’s not acceptable to use a stochastic language-producing machine to determine the courses of people’s lives

I don't ascribe any real value to these terms or have any time for the world-view they spring from, but if I did, I would swear that noone could possibly look more like the very embodiment of a beta cuck than Nick Fuentes. He looks he was hat kid who hid under the bleachers to get a peek up skirts

Or maybe it was because all the various Spidermans were simply *kind* to one another? Also, Hugh Jackman's abs. I can do without Reynolds.
This is correct and one of the reasons why, out of the recent MCU films, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine blew everything else out of the water. They're movies built solely around how nostalgic you are for movies from 20 years ago.
the comic book movie thing worked bc kids read those stories growing up then became adults and had nostalgia for them. NOW no kids read the comics and the movies just access nostalgia for the EARLIER MOVIES (which kids actually saw)
