Not quite. This time there are no Nazis to be put down, and the violence is unprovoked. This is more like Nazi Germany’s Blitzkrieg.

I’ve been reading the Kyiv Independent, which has been recommended by a number of sources as being reliable. They are on the ground, and have been reporting some things a good 24 hours before they hit the Western media, and have more details in some cases and different viewpoints.

Sadly, the level of discourse has dropped to the point where sarcasm is largely undetectable. Folks have really figured out how to weaponize stupid 

To be fair, Ming-Na Wen is 58 and is a spry motherfucker.

The Russians are effectively playing with the cyber version of nuclear weapons. If nothing else we care about this because they love attacking us.

Does it hurt when you fall on your face from logical leaps that wide?

Yes, Russia is going to invade Ukraine because Biden’s poll numbers are slipping. Flawless logic there chief.

If they’re really upset with Rowling they could try not playing the game she invented.

I feel the need to stipulate that this is a sincere question and not meant to minimize abuse.

I mean, if you watch the trailer he appears to be playing the Dad of the kid version of Skarsgard’s character (who I recognise, but can’t place where I know him from) so that’s probably about right.

I definitely think the show has problems with giving you relatable characters to root for in S2 (and that’s a problem for me), but I don’t think the criticism here makes sense to me. The characters are supposed to be out of touch and venal, and I don’t think the show is actually suggesting these people are good role…

I’m resisting judgment, as maybe his mother was legitimately abusive and this is all Tarantino feels comfortable in sharing, but in this exchange he sure comes across as spiteful and emotionally stunted.

I’d rather be hearing news about a different Vikander sequel :/

Oh, for heaven’s sake. By color?! Um, no.

Arranging books by colour is book arranging for people who do not read!

Oh. You haven’t been around for a while, have you? The user generated blogs have been shut down in December, as they planed it a year ago. Unfortunately the protest that stopped it back then didn’t work this time. Observationdeck and all the others as well as the personal blogs are gone. There was a chance to save…

Hiding the misogyny or racism or other evils of the past, or glossing over them, is an easy way for the evils of today to be glossed over as well. Making those who are in power now, due to those evils, uncomfortable is a great way to ensure they don’t stay in power.
