that's my aragorn
Spanish reporter was at the train station to record some quotes of travelers affected by the blackout. Randomly runs into Aragorn wearing a Ukraine shirt while being fluent in Spanish.

this is why i have always loved him
louis theroux's drive to wind people up is so powerful that in response to an israeli soldier at a west bank checkpoint who has just pointed a gun at him asking how long he'd be in israel for he, with twinkle in eye, says but we aren't in israel are we?

incredibly funny if sharon osbourne thinks getting detained by the authorities is anything new or frightening to Kneecap
If you read to the bottom here you’ll see that Sharon Osbourne wants Kneecap kicked out of the country for expressing pro-Palestinian beliefs during their Coachella performance. In the current political climate, revoking their work visa could cause the band to be detained.

only deeply insecure men worry about dipshits judging them for enjoying a snack. men like that are incapable of any kind of real bravery or courage because they waste their lives worried about the judgements of strangers.
Watters: I have rules for men. Like you don't eat soup in public. You don't cross your legs. And you don't drink from a straw. His excuse was I was drinking a milk shake. Again, you shouldn't be drinking a milk shake. Milk shakes are for kids.

guys i'm not saying "giant combines aren't in use" i'm saying no one is going to replace human laborers with humanoid robots in the tasks human beings still perform in agriculture (namely picking fruit) because there is no way in hell that pencils out profitably

robert pattinson doesn't do what he does for a statue. he does it for the chance to move and talk more like a goblin than any conventionally handsome man has ever done sans prosthetics my man could've played a convincing Gollum without CGI or make-up
it's actually crazy to me how this man has yet to win an oscar because he's one of the most talented, influential, actually impactful actors in this generation with flawless range. you can't find talent like this just anywhere now. teapawt.net/flawlqes/status/189666…

the horror of being appointed by trump to run the FAA and then realizing doing literally anything your boss wants will make you responsible for killing more Americans by plane than Osama Bin Laden
What am I supposed to do?

andor was insanely popular and unlike basically every other show its viewership increased for years after it came out. being hugely profitable makes companies like Disney not care about radicalism
lol how the hell did Gilroy get them to make this?

you can get away with spreading basically any political message through a megacorporation if you also make them many millions of dollars. tony gilroy is the master of this art form.

pitch: we send over like 2,000 marines with spears and the Chinese government sends 2,000 of their guys with those weird glaive things they use when fighting Indian soldiers. we have Michael Bay film the whole fight and get this out of everyone's system
If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.

ah yes, smoking fentanyl, a short-cut for clean focused energy
Spoiler alert: He smoked it. It wasn't the first time. He told officials he did it because it “gave him the ‘energy’ he needed to write in-custody reports.”

yeah the point of White Lotus isn't the universal hypocrisy, cruelty and sociopathic detachment of the wealthiest people in the world great take
Replying to @Tyler_A_Harper
White Lotus is objectively so much more conservative than the Yellowstone universe of shows but because there are attractive minorities in the tropics and characters who look like they voted for Hillary few people seem to notice that it’s not remotely a liberal show.

yeah it's fucked up that a cop heard a guy talk about wanting to kill himself and then shot that man to death this is entirely the result of conservative policies and back the blue bullshit
This sucks. It also happened not far from me. Clearly he was scared and didn't want to go back to prison after the horrific treatment the feds subjected him to. This crap will have long lasting repercussions on our society.

as President i will replace all the joint chiefs, the secretary of the army, and the secdef with E3s. all funding will be pulled from the Air Force and diverted to purchasing a strategic chewing tobacco stockpile
I’m so glad a guy with 4 years of army experience that made it all the way to the rank of lieutenant is suddenly qualified to be secretary of the army. What could go wrong?

pretty wild how cold war era anti-socialism focused on like Stalinism and the threat of apocalyptic nuclear war and now that the USSR is gone we've moved to "socialism is when you don't beat disabled 4-year-olds"
Oklahoma Sen. Shane Jett (R-Shawnee) says a bill to ban school officials from using corporal punishment against disabled children is "socialist" and "in violation of scripture."

me, discovering Iain Banks:
sci fi rides so hard on concept that when you find a book with really good prose it's like finding a lost book of the bible
