Okay, I see what you did there.

Aww, she’s such a gorgeous girl.

The Satanic Verses might not be one of my favorite books. I have my own criticism of some of the themes in the story, racism being first among them. But I don’t think that spending a life looking over your shoulder is fair. And the fact that he has to do so is a more poignant critique of Islam than the book itself.

That is… so fucking cursed.

Tim Curry as Long John Silver is easily in my top three favorite roles he’s done.

But then the fact that she can’t hold it in any longer and blurting it out literally as they’re about to get away would absolutely be in character for her! This woman is nothing but hubris!

Literally, the exact same bullshit, for the same bullshit reasons. If I can hold my own fucking ancestors accountable for their war crimes, you can do the same for Israel.

You know, fair point.

And further to the point, they didn’t actually fall in love until Anakin was getting ready to graduate to knighthood. That would put him at 18, maybe 19 and her at 23/24-ish.

I thought they were beautiful.

Why they changed it, I can’t say. Maybe people just liked it better that way?

Better pack OP into the fridge too, then.

Usually, the drama around here is the .ml and .hexbear admins being high on some tyrannical echo chamber logic and banning people for suggesting even slightly that China’s not perfect. And that’s pretty distant from .world and sh.itjustworks, and everywhere else. About as notable as your neighbor a couple blocks over getting into beef with the neighbors’ kids. Background noise at best, and barely relevant.

This is new, unusual, and definitely a one-time deal. Dude was a conservative who secretly made a tremendous blocklist of most of the people here who’d ever said anything critical of conservatism, and plugged it into the front-end app he managed without telling anyone. Literally was secretly censoring a massive chunk of the userbase. His secret blocklist got published, and those of us who managed to get on it have been patting each other on the back because we made a Nazi mad.

And now he’s throwing a big old tantrum because he got caught.

LITERALLY

Watching Star Wars as a kid is LITERALLY one of many reasons I give a fuck as an adult.

I paid attention to the fucking story.

How is Sandy these days?

That depends entirely on how long gamers are able to stay angry enough to sustain the boycott, and how many of them actually stick to it.

I use VSCodium. I happen to like it pretty well, since it supports a niche language I use to mod games. I really like that it disables so many annoying features that Microsoft seems to think essential. But I wouldn’t be opposed to switching to a new IDE if it seems more workable.

I’m on this list! Gonna wear that like a badge of fucking honor. Fuck Nazis!

Marsha P. Johnson threw the shot glass heard around the world at Stonewall. She was a Black trans woman.

More people should know that.
