The more art you put into a triple A the more risk you introduce that it’ll fall flat. And with the incredible budgets on triple A’s nowadays, execs just aren’t tolerant of risk.

I don’t even understand this shit. People born in the 50s came of age in the 60s and the 70s. When they say they had happy days, they literally mean they watched it on TV.

That’s really rough. The article says he died from a combination of respiratory infection/malnutrition. I bet the respiratory infection was aspiration pneumonia because they were trying to feed him with whatever they could get their hands on due to his cerebral palsy related dysphagia. Ended up just adding to his problems.

Absolutely.

roguetrick, to 196 in 196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.

I live in maryland so my ballot doesn’t matter much regardless for the presidential election. If Biden loses maryland he loses. And I won’t be voting for him. The worst thing missing my vote will do for him is reducing his popular vote. Since that’s mostly a talking point, good.

Pope doesn’t like Ukrainian autocephaly any more than Kirill.

Pope doesn’t recognize the Autocephaly of the Ukrainian church as much as the Moscow Patriarch doesn’t. There isn’t a great amount of support coming from the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches in Ukraine.

Wanted to chime in and clarify, the major issue there is you cannot operate a door handle in a crush, no matter how much of your senses you have. Can’t use a door handle if you can’t use your arms. Am drunk on the internet and hope this isn’t interpreted as a hostile reply.

roguetrick, to politics in Biden on hot mic: ‘Come-to-Jesus meeting’ with Netanyahu on the way

Horseshit. Biden is NOW doing exactly what I said. Being hostile to Likud and leveraging the US’s position to freeze him out. The idea that we were somehow constrained by them being US allies before but aren’t constrained now is silly. It’s purely because he was too afraid of pissing off domestic Israel supporters and that fear led to the exact situation we’re in now. These are decisions made, not the ineffable ebb and flow of international relations. And they were the wrong decisions.

We continue to supply arms and rush to do so. That Bibi’s cabinet is full of genocidal maniacs(and that his coalition is specifically BUILT on those genocidal maniacs so it’s resistant to soft attempts to lower the temperature because that would result in the fall of Bibi’s government and his imprisonment for corruption) was known before the conflict even started. I don’t really know how you think people will interpret this. If you think Biden’s administration is unfairly tarred by their actions, maybe they shouldn’t have done it. Ignorance is a fig leaf.

And even this is a response to a domestic issue. That’s why I say Biden wants to reduce the noise. He’s certainly showed no interest in actually using leverage to halt the conflict.

roguetrick, to world in Israeli rabbi says ‘kill everyone in Gaza, including babies’

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

2 There on the poplars we hung our harps,

3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

7 Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. “Tear it down,” they cried, “tear it down to its foundations!”

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us.

9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

Not quoting this to express my support, just reminded me of of the genocidal Psalm 137

Biden doesn’t want to stop it, he wants to reduce the noise. And to achieve that his best option is to use indirect and direct support to knock Bibi out of control of the knesset. It’s something that should’ve been done since the inauguration. The idea that he was going to somehow get the support of Bibi in any capacity was idiotic.

Edit: I’m genuinely curious what makes this so controversial of a take. That I’m arguing for realpolitik interventionism or that I’m criticizing biden?

roguetrick, (edited ) to politics in Biden on hot mic: ‘Come-to-Jesus meeting’ with Netanyahu on the way

I have no doubt he wants to finally explain to Bibi how weak he is domestically and picking a fight with Biden by meddling in US domestic politics can be a two way street. I don’t, however, believe Biden actually wants to stop the genocide. The point is, Bibi is very vulnerable to someone actually hitting his weak points for once and a vote of no confidence on the war cabinet is very possible.

If Biden had any sense, he would’ve already been going after Likud this whole time. Instead he’s been allowing himself to be dragged around by his ear while Bibi openly supports him getting replaced by Trump.

She’s going to get her money now though. I wonder what sort of collateral he had to put up to secure this bond. I don’t know if I’d want to be the insurance company trying to get that collateral back after all his legal cases leave him bankrupt.
