Americans online show a level of contempt towards European societies they never would for East Asian ones, even though many of the issues they make fun of 'Europe' for apply at least as much there.

Yeah, this is the best I've ever seen any movie intentionally capture that kind of sudden, natural light/color/temperature shift.

In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

You ever think about how we live in a consumerist hell of our own creation that the most pessimistic schlock of the 70s-90s barely even counts as parody of?
"One of the options staff has discussed is giving sponsored information preferential treatment in responses to users’ ChatGPT queries, according to the person familiar with the discussions. For instance, AI models could prioritize sponsored content to ensure it shows up in ChatGPT responses"

Ebenezer Scrooge was roughly as wealthy as your local car dealership owner. Notably not a billionaire-equivalent or member of the aristocracy.

One of the earliest-ever modern portrayals of Santa Claus features him gifting Union soldiers with a jumping-jack doll of Jefferson Davis dangling from a noose - as drawn by political cartoonist Thomas Nast.

at the core of the American crisis is that we have failed to reproduce society as dominant ideology understands it. And everyone did their best to ignore this until about 10 years ago
One diagnosis of our current fascist moment is “generational turnover is losing us the hard-won lessons of WWII” and it is weirdly good evidence for this model that maga is currently crashing out about wanting to build battleships again
“We’ve forgotten that we didn’t build the early navy for pride, which is why I want battleships to make little boys proud.”
This dude clearly has some mental health issues around his childhood that he’s working out.

aliens is fine. its a different genre of movie from the first. they both are fantastic
in fact, all the alien franchise movies (with, broadly, the exception of alien 4) are good. it's a great 'verse

It does feel like a lot of “leftists” on this website just entirely internalized the Rush Limbaugh they listened to in their parents’ car driving to their suburban schools as Gospel truth
seeing people react to Bill Clinton (again) say "release the Epstein files" with "oh he's falling on his sword" rather than admit that he has literally nothing to hide is... something, that 1990s Clinton insanity virus keeps paying off for the GOP

I would like to pay more money and for games to be super-fancy. I like my fancy graphics! Every time I see pixel art I die inside a little! I didn't bribe the TSMC staff for my graphics card for this!
The thing about people saying that they would like to pay more money for fewer games that are shorter with worse graphics is that they are, by and large, lying. The ones who aren't have already been captured by Itch
Every studio is frantically looking to cut costs of output because most studios are very financially squeezed, and the likely alternatives to things like AI & other tool assistance is not "employ more people," it's probably "employ fewer & work them harder," or "don't make games."
