Honestly, what you’re describing is what youtube is for these days.  There are surprisingly good channels with interesting things on them that you can just let play and get engrossed with or tune out and not feel like you’ve missed much.

I’ve dipped my toes into prestige tv, but by and large it isn’t my thing. I have no problem with it existing - what I dislike is this idea that now suddenly everyone has to behave like its prestige tv.

I didn’t expect to see this set, but I was at my parents’ home when they decided to watch. (While I educate where I can, I don’t police what my family watches.) So, I sat through this before reading about it. And, I have to say, this article nails it. He sounds like an old fool; one of those guys you’ll hear in any…

There’s simply no reasoning with a guy who thinks a Simpson joke is a badass line for an execution.

There are tons of us in the gray who are not trolls and they aren’t doing anything for us either

Fascist Zionists like Netanyahu and his murderous accomplices using what’s written in their special magic book to murder and steal the land of the people already there that happen to have a different special magic book has been going on way before October 7th.

Just because you don’t support Israel doesn’t mean you’re antisemitic. Fuck the every pro-Zionist who conflates the two.

I always thought the best thing you could say about this series is, whether you love or hate the monarchy, it doesn’t necessarily try to change your mind. Or it didn’t until these last few episodes. Any interesting conflicts are now brushed away Principal Skinner-style (“No... It’s the peasants who are wrong”), any…

Idk, people like to hype kojima, but I find his work pretty sloppy from a story or narrative perspective. Him and his fans have always struck me as the "you just don't get his vision because it's so sophisticated and non-standard" type. 

Unless this is written and directed by someone else, I don’t actually expect this to come out. Kojima is an absolutely terrible writer and shows no aptitude for cinema. The reason his games are great is that he has a wonderful imagination and has a very clever feel for gameplay. His pacing and his dialogue, however,…

Here’s someone with probably a $40-$50m net worth who has lived a life of endless luxury since the 90s. Its 30 years later, he’s aged, and not the “hotter younger” brother of Frasier, but an old man too. He can only either get a “hey this isn’t terrible but wow that guy looks old” or very badly embarrass himself for…

“You know what would end this? Ethnic cleansing.” - you

Please dismiss your Womp troll.

Do you think all Palestinians are terrorists? Because that’s the only way in which it’s fair to say I care about terrorists. I don’t really care too much about the 25,000 or so Hamas members who have committed themselves to being combatants, I care about 5 million Palestinians subject to the authority of Israel, but…

And these 22 Dems will stand with Israel, after they’ve killed more civilians, as they take an even more active role in the, “security,” in Gaza. More apartheid. More suffering. More rationing of fuel, water, basic life necessities.

“counterproductive to promoting peace.”

still team harry and megan, only bc charles and camilla seem like tremendously tiresome people

It’s inaccurate but also, the cannibalism stuff, which like you said was just talk, is what gets the most attention including on this website, when he’s credibly accused of having actually done some pretty vile shit, including violent rape and physical abuse.

I finished my conversion on September 8th. I joined a temple that I thought shared my values and I haven’t been able to leave a Shabbot service without feeling sick to my stomach since the 13th (the first since the attacks). My rabbis have been taking to the bimah to suggest that any challenge to Israel’s behavior is…

My sister and I were talking about the bombing of the refugee camp and I told her I thought Netanyahu knew the Hamas attack was coming at some point and did nothing so he’d have an excuse for the annihilation of Gaza, and she said she’d had the same thought.
