Hm. It's almost as though this whole concept is fucking stupid. 

My neighbor, a few years back, was driving home, with his wife in the passenger seat, and their two infant boys with them in car seats.

Fair. Experience is everything. I’ve been detained, punched, pepper sprayed, kicked and held in a choke hold for doing nothing more than being at a series of legal protests. (One anti-globalisation protest, one LGBTQ2S+ rights protest, and one peace protest (a looong time ago)). Literally standing in one spot, doing…

96 shots over 41 seconds.

i still consider it one of the scariest films ever made, and that’s having rewatched it numerous times and knowing full well that it’s fiction. something about the highly believable, “here’s what it’s like to be lost in the woods” vibe which works for me.

Do you know how many gun stores there are in Mexico? Because the answer is... two. Two gun stores in the country. And buying one takes months of paperwork.

None of that justifies 5 cops firing 96 times. The criminal penalty for everything you described is not summary execution. Cops aren’t supposed to be executioners.

I don’t think there is any right or wrong here. It comes down to what scares you. For some people, the primal scares of The Blair Witch Project - being lost, cold, alone in the dark, feeling chased, watched - feel very real and visceral. For others it can seem silly. I think both views are valid.

I don’t think it’s a gun problem, but a training and support problem.

Sit in the quiet for 41 seconds. Do nothing. Feel how long 41 seconds is.

Not another Blair Witch reboot

In adjacent news (if being “over the Pond” is considered adjacent) somehow the second season of Late Night Lycett starts this Friday. Get to know the city of Birmingham with all the comedians Joe Lycett invites to it.

I too look forward to seeing how it all plays out.  I want him to find a healthy relationship and be able to exist healthily within it, or to be able to exist healthily alone.  Even as someone who has been around since the first Real World on MTV I guess I struggle to reckon with that blurring of lines between real…

“Both sides" cry the people with nothing to lose

Maybe Biden isn’t the strongest candidate we’ve ever seen, but when the other side has been driven to quoting HITLER at times, perhaps you should be endorsing him to you know, save us from being overrun by fascists?

“Both candidates are dog shit”

This is true, however, I prefer the one neatly wrapped up in a bag (Biden) to the one left on my doorstep on fire (Trump).

Right? I get that we are truly in the darkest timeline of presidential candidates, but this is still an easy choice. Hell, even if he wanted to say he was voting for a third party candidate he could say that, but if you can’t even go on record as saying you’re not voting for trump...that’s psychopath levels of…

when voting blue is the only way to keep your reproductive rights you kinda dont have a choice

Way to stand for nothing but yourself. What a hero 

Well having The Mandarin show up in Iron Man 3 didn’t stop The Mandarin from showing up in Shang-Chi. Maybe it unnecessarily shuffles the characters’ backstories, but I don’t see how it eliminates a character outright.
