@dominicboyle@Curious_Chak@lewis_goodall the Labour Party under Starmer will abandon its core idealism & principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it.
@9mmballpoint Plus there's a whole community of people whose group identity revolves around venerating the prequels, and treats them not as movies but as mythical texts that they retell each other
@9mmballpoint It's a combo of nostalgia and the fact that loads of people don't really experience or think about cinema that much. If you never experience better things you won't even know that your standards are in the gutter.
It’s important to remember that this was once described as “inevitable,” and that there was a time when you were derided as a Luddite for being skeptical of it.
In retrospect lots of people are acting like it was clearly always BS, but for a time we were told it was inevitable…
Our dirt bikes are finally out! Fun to work on, and I had the chance to get a little silly with them and include stunts, burnouts and donuts to inject a bit of Criterion in there 🚲
Nobody will probably notice, but one of them is AWD - can you figure out which one?

Remember how last year a large number of games industry (and related) figures were tripping over themselves to send this filth their well wishes?
Clearly they should've been even nicer to him or he wouldn't now be cheering on brownshirt executions.
@TheOmniLiberal Yeah, rip bozo
They told her to get out of the car and then she put it in reverse and tried to run over an officer and drive away
Comply with police and don't try to run them over
This angle shows it better

The United States is now simply back to business as usual after taking a short break from swinging its military around the world.
What's new is that at least they're being honest about how it's just about resources & control instead of wearing "democracy" as a fig leaf
Q: "Why is running a country in South America 'America first'?"
In his answer, Trump is explicit about Venezuela's oil resources: "We have tremendous energy in that country. It's very important that we protect it. We need that for ourselves, we need that for the world."
It's actually very easy, and very important, to criticize Maduro and also oppose US invasion. When your anti-war argument hinges on whether a specific regime "deserves" to be invaded, you're cutting international law out of the conversation and that's exactly what empires want.
