[Applies for wheelchair ramp]
Best we can do is death

[Louise Kinross @LouiseKinross]

'Retired Cpl. Christine Gauthier, who has been trying to get a wheelchair ramp installed at her home for 5 years, testified on Thurs. that a caseworker told her they could give her assisted dying, even offering to supply the MAID equipment for her' https://t.co/E0JZWbtxaP

I'm the guy telling students to use "I" in their professional writing

I'm being facetious, I know I know

La bola negra (2026) https://t.co/352mOBdfXJ

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

I, for one, think it’s very impressive the abundance and proto-abundance guys managed to take a term historically meant for petty suburban racists and widened it to include “environmentalists concerned with destroying habitats” and “indigenous groups opposing data centers”.

@slopboy2 You are, to be clear, comparing me to a uniformed and rifle-toting fascist conscript character for liking a film that promoted the military industrial complex in 2009. I’m sure you have no such crimes to uncover in your history of perfect takes.

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

I mean they are both guilty of that, yes; it is a fair criticism of both movies

[Carbon Helium @CarbonHelium]

Notice how no one’s levelling this criticism against Wild Horse Nine, a film that asks you to sympathise with a dying CIA agent who assassinated presidents

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

@slopboy2 Well at least I never shot anybody, right?

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

@remyrenault2 And structural: the converging historical threads conceit makes him a lost gay ancestor who hid his true self to recover and knit back into the quilt of problematic queer history as more than just a fascist; the approach to him is inherently sentimental rather than alienating.

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

@remyrenault2 I think it’s depicted as horrible enough, though less brutal. I agree that it’s an instructive comparison. Main differences are aesthetic: the protagonist crying in closeup, the actor playing him having an emotional song on the soundtrack with a lyrical vocal solo.

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

@slopboy2 We could make a list of all the problematic movies I was overly generous toward on release 10+ years ago, I’m sure that would settle something about this thread

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

@slopboy2 Deep cut, but thank you for reading my old shitty posts. I have not seen this movie in more than fifteen years so I don’t really know how I’d feel about it now but I suspect I would not be as kind. Is that what you want to hear?

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

Not looking forward to the first mainstream depiction of an ICE agent just trying to pay the bills

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

I don’t understand how you can like LA BOLA NEGRA and not view its protagonist as a fascist, a take I’ve seen some embrace; the film treats him as a pitiable cipher who falls naturally into fascism as opposed to resisting and being jailed or killed for it (as others are)

@reality19713 I don't know who you are so I took a look at your account and you seem to post about COVID dozens of times a day in aggrieved and unprompted replies to strangers; you are the one with a pathological fixation in 2026

After 18 years of living in a building connected to College Station, I was finally able to access the station thanks to the new elevator. The lesson is, never die.

@NoCyclopathTO No

@Age_of_Greed It’s finally ready after 6+ years of construction and many promises before that.
