  • I didn't like Livia because it was like they dig up my grandma and put her on a TV show. I like the ending and think it's best when you accept that tony got wacked. One of my favorite episodes was when the gang went to Italy. It shows how this old country they idolize it completely foreign to them, Paulie can't even eat Italian food.

  • CW: Transphobia

    Facebook etches out a specific exception for calling LGBTQ people "mentally ill"

  • It's wild how all these outsider politicians always end up doing more neoliberalism.

  • Wasn't Zionism created by Christians to get rid of Jews in Europe? And the current evangelical support for them has them all getting killed when Christ comes back.

  • The paramilitary SA had been used to win the battle of the streets against trade unionists and Reds. The storm troopers acted as a pseudo-revolutionary force that appealed to mass grievances with a rhetorical condemnation of finance capital. When SA membership skyrocketed to three million in 1933, this was too discomforting to the industrial barons and military patricians. SA street brawlers who denounced bourgeois decadence and called for sharing the wealth and completing the "Nazi revolution" would have to be dealt with. Having used the SA to take state power, Hitler then used the state to deal with the SA.

    Reminded me of this from Blackshirts and Reds.

  • Nah, I'm pretty sure dudebros making up numbers and betting on them going up or down is the best way to manage an economy.

  • A friend of mine and I have been on an off spitballing something like this for a while. The final elected president being the warlord Gavin "The Gruesome"

  • Of course I can only speak for my zoomer friend group, and things can always change as we age, but I feel like the prevailing opinion of ours for the kids is pity. Like the contradictions and crisis that have made our last decade shit are only going to get worse for them. Here's hoping we don't continue the war.

  • What are the odds this dude was dumped to coverup his death from the Fort Bragg Mafia?

  • All the evangelicals that worship him beginning a yellow turban style millenarian uprising is still sitting on my bingo card.

  • Obviously Elon hasn't innovated anything because he does no work. But has SpaceX actually innovated anything? I was kinda under the assumption that they were reinventing the wheel and hadn't done anything the USSR/Nasa hadn't already done.

  • It seems really opaque, but It looks like the Tatmadaw, the military junta, is no doing so hot. If you look at maps of the factions it looks like the HRE.

  • I know I shouldn't expect any standards of morality or ethics or taste even from the media but I was genuinely shocked when I saw that they had the ruined remains of the New Orleans victims pixelated just enough to where you could still see the blood and gore.

  • Biden's address of the New Orleans attack was classico. He stumbled and slurred his way through the teleprompter before walking off the stage the second he was done talking like he pooped his pants.

  • There's a ton of hagiography about Jimmy Carter among evangelicals. My mom saw the news and cried. The news at some point mentioned his dad was a doctor and she was like "His family wasn't poor?" And I was like no lol they were slave owners.

  • I did a little looking at some of the factions a while ago and there's one group of Communist (unknown if their politics back it up) who acted as borders guards for the Tatmadaw until switching sides to the liberal coalition. Wild shit.

  • Demonrats arent the only ones who get led around by the nose by capital?!?!?!?!?!?! You were supposed to drain the swamp, not become it!!!!!!!
