#BlackLivesMatter. That’s it. They’ve always mattered and I’m glad a lot of people are finally sick of letting people think that they’re not. Everyone who protests today, tomorrow, and everyday until this is fixed, I support y’all, I love y’all, and #BlackLivesMatter.
Ben Affleck admits Chasing Amy forced him to confront his own internalized homophobia
Interviewer: Chasing Amy. How do you feel like this film has aged?
Ben Affleck: At the time, what I thought was interesting about it was that it alluded to a spectrum of sexual orientation. It looked at what a love relationship between men looks like.
We have friendships with men that we love very much, and it was a way of looking at whether there’s a continuum or spectrum. I thought that was kind of honest.
Frankly, I found myself having to challenge my own internalized homophobia because I found it so difficult to kiss Jason. I thought, “This is really embarrassing. This is clearly some internalized thing because why should that be a difficult thing to do for me?”
I still think I did a shitty and unconvincing job of it, and I feel very disappointed by that. I’d love the chance to do better, although now I’m not sure the idea of playing a gay character would be welcome. I don’t want to offend anyone in this direction.
It was a movie that, at the time, felt like it was pushing some boundaries. And in retrospect, as often happens, the world has evolved.
@kj_peters0n people are acting like he was possessed to make the wish, when everything he did was his own choice!!
the movie all but staples it to your forehead
dawg, he breaks the one wish willow after she essentially rejects him. it wasn’t thoughtless. his first thought was “I want her to love me more than anyone in the fucking world.
that’s not thoughtless, that’s intentional.
i'm not gonna defend bear but like. a lot of you guys think he picked up the one wish willow with the intent to morph nikki's brain as opposed to it just being a thoughtless reactionary moment with an item he has no reason to believe is actually real and i don't see that
@Blazecap1203 im sorry dude, thats what I said, and it’s not about his downfall, its about how BEING THIS KIND OF PERSON is dangerous for everyone, especially yourself. Bear’s idea of love at its core is rotten. And he doesn’t take responsibility, he placates and assaults her the whole movie!
@Blazecap1203 i hate this take, cause it’s so lazy. Bear didn’t expect to find ACCOUNTABILITY when he asked for something he DIDNT EVEN WANT!! and all the while, Nikki has to suffer the consequences of everything this entails, because Bear can’t handle his feelings.
Warren Buffett: "The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old."
"John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could."
"When I was born, the dentist didn't use novocaine!"
it’s a fucking kid man. do you really wanna be the “dude, it’s so awesome that this kid was hungry and I did NOTHING” guy?
they just got their brain. just be nicer. fuck.
I’m going to be the voice of reason here. This is completely unacceptable for a child to do this. This kid is well fed, clean clothes, and nice shoes , he literally lacks for nothing.
There is zero reason he should be asking people for food. There’s no way on earth his parents are happy he did this.
When you compare Trump to Hitler
You encourage assassination attempts
Stop it
There’s *zero* legal or moral justification for violence against him
I invite all Democrats to echo this message
Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.
“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”
“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”
🚨: Eight Marines outsmarted a DARPA AI meant to spot people. Two somersaulted 300 meters, two snuck under a cardboard box, and one pretended to be a tree—and the AI missed them all, because it was trained to catch people walking.
“one day, all the kids who didn’t come to my birthday party will come to grips with the reality that the cake was GOING TO BE chocolate, and my party was the best. When one kid asked me ‘Why would it be the best?’, I shot him with a rifle. Cause my name is Palantir.”
One day, all the Palantir haters will have to come to grips with the reality that the disinformation surrounding the company was deliberately created by our adversaries who feared its potential to strengthen and embolden the ability of free and democratic societies.
Stephen Miller: Imagine in the Twin Cities, a native Minnesotan who works as a lineman or a construction worker, who's worried about his ability to support his family. And then imagine he has a neighbor who’s a Somali refugee who arrived two years ago, and has a Mercedes, and no financial stress, and no worries at all, and never seems to ever go to work — because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever. That is the system that is being run. That is the corruption that this task force, under the leadership of VP Vance, is going to demolish.
According to media reports, Donald Trump has been buying $145 Florsheim dress shoes for allies in his inner circle, and people are reportedly “afraid not to wear them.”
Marco Rubio was photographed wearing a pair Trump ordered for him by just guessing his size. They looked noticeably too big.
