Oh no! -anyway…

How’s this for an exit plan from the war:

It’s the tardigrade’s violin now.

Only if it has one those sick Doom album covers.

I used a hardened version of Fennec, but have switched to Iron Fox, through the Accrescent store. Both are privacy-centric Firefox forks for Android. I think they’re your best bet.

Whatever your views on him as an actor or his political affiliation, you should watch the original speech in its entirety, rather than keep this soundbite in and of itself and hijack its meaning. It’s also worth noting this was recorded in early 2023, so a lot of things have changed since then.

I think it’s a powerful message and well delivered. Something the hardline MAGA crowd definitely needed to heed. And all around the world, as more of these populist movements rise or have risen.

Decidedly have no love for the GOP, but he was a politician in a time where the GOP was immensely different from what it is today, and the focus of the party was not overt bigotry and absolutism. Iirc, he was also talked about as a bit of a black sheep during the Bush Jr.-era GOP politics, but I might be misremembering things based on my own impressions from that time.

Actually, the speech is mostly about that last part even as it starts on the Holocaust. Since so far I didn’t see a link to it, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsETTn7DehI

Too late, they’re my ducks now and we’re gonna do drugs together.

Chicks, amirite fellas?

Time to fuck up the internet for everyone, huh? Must be a week day.

The country that suffered the second most damaging Russian psy-op in the western sphere - with the guy who spearheaded the movement polling significantly, mind you - is warning us Ireland is a backdoor for Russian spies. Huh. Guess they’re experienced enough.

Can the world NOT be evil, for like a minute?

Yes! That’s what actually got me into Star Wars fanedits and fanedits in general, he made the whole prequel trilogy into a unified experience. Saw one based on his editing notes and liked it, but through the years I’ve come to enjoy other takes from the movies, as well.

Man, Phantom Menace being the worst Star Wars movie when it came out is like George W. Bush being the dumbest US president: those were simpler times, somehow.

I’ll say the prequels aged better than I’d remembered them, though. And they get a lot better with the existing fanedits, especially HAL9000’s take on Episode I, which trims a lot of the dumb humour, dials down the Jar Jar antics significantly and tightens the plot a nice bit, to make it more of a classic Star Wars adventure.
