I think you’re over-selling us - our politicians may make more positive noises, but, essentially, it is just noise. Capitalism and tackling climate change are just not compatible.

The opening sequence to The Rescuers Down Under does the same trick, and it’s fucking beautiful.

Isn’t homophobia more associated with religious conviction rather than race?

WTF are reasonable right-wingers doing now? The last thing I can remember on that score was PJ O’Rourke saying he was voting for Hillary.

(from the Guardian)

It’s a fetish. You pay people to watch them stamp on food. Mainly stuff that oozes and spurts, but some like to see prime cuts of beef stomped into oblivion (but they’re just weird).

Looking at the ‘hot’ photo, for a moment I thought she was an amputee.

Why is this considered odd? With the 4WD, all wheels stop rotating, hence greater breaking. With the 2WD, the back wheels carry on rotating, so are not so active in slowing the car.

Also, I miss my Jeep... :(

What’s the argument here? That under no circumstances can it be appropriate to wear a KKK outfit as part of a history class, or just not under these circumstances? Because if the former, then I’m confused.

The first episode of this season that I unashamedly enjoyed. One might quibble that, for rural farmers, everyone was a little too ‘civilised’, but it would be a quibble, and you could argue that that was down in part to the translation circuits.

Bottom line, if you’re going to explore social issues and contentious…

I think there’s a dividing line between films that should be historically accurate in that respect, and films where it’s really not relevant. I’m not sure where the line lies, but I’m pretty sure any film that includes Nazi zombies falls in the ‘not relevant’ category...

He isn’t - he’s just pointing out that the “arm everybody!” solution is a crock of shite.

Both our kids were home-births, but there’s no fucking way we would have gone for it without a midwife present. Medicine works, people; wishful thinking and spirit guides or whatever, not so much.

In Hollywood?

Doesn’t the first sentence in the article pretty much cover it?

Yeah - my best friend from school emigrated to Israel. I eventually had to tell him not to contact me anymore because of his increasingly vile rants about muslim ‘animals’.

<smokes a big blunt> But aren’t we all, in some sense, just ones and zeros on a disk?

But don’t both the mainstream parties broadly support Israel? Is this just about moving the embassy to Jerusalem, or is it also Trump’s fairly in-your-face Islamophobic stance as well? Don’t they give a shit about his dog-whistle antisemitism, or is that okay because he only aims it at left-wing Jews? And where the…

I’m confused - why were they booing?

Also in Wanted?

Tangentially related, what does anyone make of this?
