@megbasham There've been leftist posts that I've liked because they were atrocious, and I wanted them to get as much visibility as possible.
And I've liked friends' posts that I disagreed with only because I want to see their profile increase generally.
There's no more accurate a metaphor for the West than slowly bleeding to death by the hand of barbarians while corrupt authorities tie our hands behind our back.
@polymorphglitch@contramordor What you see in the modern Church is the prime example of an old institution reconciling itself to power.
The theological term is "syncretism," but that's the realist explanation of it.
The show ruined network TV for me. Never has entertainment machinery given us what the cast and writers of Frasier gave us, and the on-demand virus that emerged afterward ensures that it never will again, nor can.
Everyone has a favorite episode; this crudely rendered clip gives you the climactic punchline from mine ("Enemy at the Gate"). Like a lot of episodes, you don't get the joke unless you watch the whole thing.
It really was comedy at its best. Long live Frasier.

Respect. My wife is from LA, her whole family still lives there. I've come to love Los Angeles, it's clear that the malice (often mistaken for incompetence) of a few has harmed it.
Doug Ellin, creator of the hit show 'Entourage,' is disgusted by LA's decline in recent years and says he publicly supports Spencer Pratt in his campaign for LA mayor.
Ellin's Beverly Hills home was burglarized by masked intruders, and he shares that while 5 years ago he didn't have to lock his door, now he has "15 cameras," "2 German Shepherds," and "3 legal guns."
"I know they were animals because they invaded my house. I know I don't care what their excuses are, like a lot of you f*cking care. I know invaders of homes should get 20 years...Everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem: they're f*cking all putting cameras and high-end security guards because we're all getting broken into. It's not made up, it's not false, and this city has collapsed in the last 5 years. There is no f*cking denying it unless you have an agenda, and I don't know what that is," Ellin says.
"But, you say, 'Oh, Spencer Pratt has no experience!'...What experience did Karen Bass have?...We want to fix this place because we don't want to be forced out. I'm one of the people who made this city look great! I did it for years. I glorified it. I meet people all the time that moved here because of the show that I f*cking created—and they hate it here now. HATE!"
Ellin's comments appear to be, at least in part, directed at the LA Times, who recently published an article, "L.A. is safer than it's been in decades, but crime is an issue dominating the mayor's race."
For his part, Pratt shared Ellin's video to his Instagram Story last week. Safety has been the central theme of Pratt's mayoral campaign.
@RyanAGregory121 You have to understand, some guys have been doing this lexical limbo for so long that they no longer have the ability to be circumspect about how absurd they sound
