War and sex have always played into each other. Always. Thirsting for a brave charismatic leader is absolutely nothing new and I’d argue is pretty deeply ingrained. The only different is that now technology allows us to thirst from across the world.

If you think the reactions are disrespectful while he’s alive, you’re going to be shitting bricks if he dies. People are going to stan him even harder and turn him into a global martyr. Probably the dumbest thing Putin could do for PR-wise is kill this guy.

The world has not been this close to a full-scale war with multinational involvement of nuclear powers since the height of the Cold War. For better or worse, that was not the case with Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia or the Balkans, etc.

Most humans cant live in a constant depressive state thinking only about death and suffering. No one is making light of the actual war. A functioning, stable human being has to take a break from the horror, and focusing on how hot a verified hero is ranks among the most common and useful breaks from the real problem…

It’s very apparent that you have very little knowledge about the gravity of Putin’s threats, and why the EU/NATO refuse to send in troops. Do you understand why Zelensky made the request to join the EU today? Do you understand why the EU opened their border to Ukraine for 3 years? Do you understand Putin said “Why…

Russia invaded a country. At some point you have to grow the fuck up and choose sides, okay?

“But continually casting coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as racist isn’t a very convincing argument”

Jesus Jezebel’s coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been dreadful. I hardly know where to start.

Counterpoint: if you have critiques of Ukraine government policies or their president, now is not an appropriate time to voice them, since they’re fighting an existential war against a country that launched a war of aggression against their neighbor, who also happens to be the neighbor of a bunch of NATO countries. If…

I tried explaining this to someone recently who had fallen for the whole “denazifying” line that’s being pushed (their logic being that the Azov Battalion exists - which, to be clear, is a real blight on Ukraine and has always been a point of contention for anyone allied with the country, while also being a propaganda…

Right, it drives me up the fucking wall. I absolutely don’t deny that there is a rampant nazism problem in Ukraine, and the military has...issues, but for PUTIN to argue that he’s there to deal with it? Give me a goddamn fucking break. There’s no justifying this.

“I’ll tell you exactly why I went. I went to talk to them about ‘America First’ policies,...”

It’s not a mystery why people in Georgia elected her to represent them. She does. The media can’t ever get to the real heart of people outside cities, but as a blonde haired, blue eyed white male that has had to spend time in the rural South, I can assure you she is not an aberration. If anything, a great many people…

This stuff always makes me think of the time Jenna on 30 Rock was learning teen lines for Gossip Girl. Then she found out she was really going to be playing the dying grandmother.

I hate this POV because I believe it should lead a person to the OPPOSITE conclusion. If the stakes are so high for the officer, the stakes are high for everyone involved, no? If the stakes are so high (which they are - a dude died), then why should the punishment be so minor? This logically makes no sense. Where is…

SJP is definitely still the villain. the whole thing comes across as the school bully making that kind of non apology whilst still implicitly blaming the victim for feeling hurt.

100%!!

After spending 15 years as a photographer and countless hours in the darkroom, I am authorized to say you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Dodge and burn, fool. Dodge and burn.

lololol colour balance, brightness, levels, these are all totally normal things to alter.

Did you know Titanic was filmed in front of a green screen? OMG THEY WERN'T EVEN REALLY IN THE OCEAN! STOP THE PRESSES!
