i appreciate this and I agree. There is a lot there about platonic dude friendships. Patriot also in its first ten eps passed the Bechdel Test, which is a low fucking bar. Two different female leads from different angles of the story confronted and befriended each other. There was so much more story to be made from that, but it was worlds better than typical tv writing.

lmao LA Confidential cast a shadow underneath Miller’s Crossing

“The USA needs my pee?”

first two eps have been on tpb for 13 years, that’s the only hit for now

he was a zombie, and no other zombies have survived for the fossil and archaeological record. so… eaten by other zombies? yes or no.

no one has forgotten that Windows is the most popular. who cares. you’re the one yelling about windows on mobile platforms and it is the best shit ever. I still think linux is better, but it’s debatable. this is like arguing with my grandpa after he got DOS 6.0 in a box, on 3.5" disks. He thought he was the most clever of fellows. Fuck him.

i’m comfortable with windows and with linux. the hardware in all these things is interesting. so you want to go with proprietary software. love you for it.

i meant I’ve never physically been near one of these things, specifically the Steam Deck or its competitors.

 You’re not on many gaming forums then, especially not PC ones.

yeah, I’m not. i build my own, but i don’t need that toxic silly trash.

i learned when i was maybe 16, 17, you can just ask a guy who works with leather – “can you make a belt that will hold my pants up” – the dude was so confused and so happy to help me and it did not cost very much. that guy was so nice.

i haven’t even personally seen any of these things. so no, I literally can’t handle that. i’m also very annoyed buy steam and valve, in general. but windows? windows is the worst.

so you’re a windows stan, or what’s your deal?

Apple has a new event and a new phone and a new watch EVERY YEAR. aren’t we obligated to buy all this shit every year?

I want that spicy, chunky chili. but windows brings bugs and ads. windows is like getting eat up by mosquitos while the chili is thin and tepid.

it’s difficult to distinguish Muppets’ and Jim Henson’s works as an adult versus childhood. I loved LOVED The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth as a kid, can’t stand either of them now. And that old SNL is super cringy to watch, but sometimes it really, really hit.

Blues Brothers still checks out - for those of us who grew up on that raw early muppets and SNL vibe. not sure what it looks like to the kids.

no, from perspiration. salty!

Ya’ll need to calm down.

_ Tennessee only banned the practice of shackling someone while they’re giving birth in 2022, though there are exceptions to the law, like if the incarcerated person “poses an immediate and serious threat.”

_ The number of states that still allow shackling people who are both pregnant and incarcerated is still in the double digits, despite federal law even attempting to curb the practice for those imprisoned on the federal level. “Shackling is a dehumanizing, traumatic experience for the pregnant person and their baby, and this legislation is just part of what it will take to ensure incarcerated, pregnant people have some sense of dignity and respect throughout their pregnancy,” Briana Perry, co-director of Healthy and Free Tennessee, told Jezebel’s last year.

_ While it’s unclear if the incarcerated woman gave birth while shackled, it’s unacceptable that she had to go through that experience alone and without medical assistance. The carceral state continues to be inhumane.

This is inhumane and insane, so wtf is the deal

nah, people wear big backpacks in the city

depends how the script is written…

In the atrium of a former skyscraper in Manhattan, a shabby figure is banging on a microwave.

The flesh is falling off his face. He is 130 years old.

He had found a package of insta popcorn in the ruins. The ruins he orchestrated.

The microwave is plugged in; he just verified that.

He forgets power in the city has been gone since he was Mayor-Ceasar 40 years back.

He is Rudy Giuliani, a titan among… among… fuck. He can’t remember.

He swallows a gob of hair dye for sustenance.

It takes him three days to climb a flight of stairs and find…
