    Bob Saget dying...anti-vaxxers drinking piss...one of my work colleagues is leaving to go work at Meta...this has all been a bit too much for me today... I'd like to return to my bed and never leave it ever again.

    go for it! maybe if you're lucky, the brothers will send you an autographed cease and desist letter, which you can then sell for beaucoup dollars over on twoism!

    oh c'mon brian...I see you're in the 2nd stage of the grieving process...anger. is it really a requirement that someone needs to personally know another person in order to be affected by their death? none of us know any of these celebs personally (except JR knows Richard, ha!). but they have entered into some part of our lives/memories thanks to media. like I never met Bob Saget, but knew of him primarily because he was an actor on Full House. I too have a fondness for that show, due to growing up in the '80s, and being the perfect age to revel in ABC's classic late '80s/early '90s Friday night TGIF family friendly programming. it was a line up of shows like Family Matters, Full House, Perfect Strangers, and some other throwaways that didn't make as big of an impact. me and my sister used to camp out in the living room with sleeping bags watching that 2 hour block every Friday night, and of course we saw Bob Saget on screen portraying Danny Tanner, an archetype of what an all American TV dad was supposed to be like. so yeah, I didn't really know him, but knew only his image and characters he portrayed. when I heard yesterday he died, I was like oh damn, and for a split second was brought back to thinking about watching him on Full House back when I was a kid. that, I suppose, is what constitutes an emotion one is rightfully allowed to feel when learning of a celeb death...I did feel a little bit sad when I heard he died.

    ^ that is ripped off straight out of the x-files. "super soldiers" is literally from that show.

    the fact that all these R politicians are trying to downplay and defend the event is sickening. it is a sad reflection on the state of society in general. traits that have historically applied to those in positions of leadership, and humans in general, such as showing accountability, leading with dignity, humbleness...these are slowly being written out of the script and replaced with trump-like behavior. finger pointing, immaturity, messaging with racist undertones. tantrums are being rewarded, wasn't my fault, etc...I just don't know how we reign this in? the R party seemingly will not disavow this type of behavior, seeing as large chunks of their constituents all act and think the same way, and vote accordingly! social media, as has been brought up time and time again on here, IMO is the catalyst for this behavioral change we see throughout society. lol culture. creating and weaponizing false information posted online, resulting in people doubting straight up facts, was probably not what the social media godfathers intended. but it is what it is now, and whether or not them banning certain bad actors and deleting outright false content helps, is yet to be seen. gonna sound like an old man here, but I just don't remember "it" being this bad before FB, twitter, etc. started.

    ^ idk man...I just have a hard time believing there was an actual coherent plan in place as to what to do next after storming the capitol. and all those other tentacles shooting out in all directions to try and keep him in power just seemed so desperate, unfocused, and with next to zero chance of becoming reality. throw anything at the wall to see if it sticks type planning. that's how his whole presidency sorta was lol. this is largely IMO of course, and based on reading articles online, so maybe there was some overarching game plan strategy that will be brought to light. and yeah, I've never actually thought long and hard about how coup's of this nature are supposed to happen exactly, so maybe it does start with the maga clowns being sent in, and then things go down hill from there. like you said, military overthrow is usually what one thinks when the word coup it used, and this was of a different flavor than that.

    which has always been one of the main problems with him. do we take him seriously? or is he just putting on an act, a stand up show, which he does to stroke his ego and get $ out of all this. even the Jan. 6th thing started as something of a joke, like some sort of maga festival in front of the capitol with dudes in costumes selling hot dogs...and of course escalated into the shit show it became, thanks to the inmates deciding to run the asylum, so to speak. that's why I have a hard time comparing him to a much more by-the-book totalitarian/authoritarian leader like Hitler, because I really don't think that's what trump intended on becoming...or turning this place into a Nazi state. any authoritarian inklings that started being tossed around throughout his term more or less started taking shape solely due to his massive ego, and adoration for Putin, etc. and other leaders that actually DO want to rule their countries like kings. trump only continued on down this path because backing off of it would make him look weak, his fan base kept egging him on, and so forth. bottom line - I don't think there's enough gas in the tank to complete some sort of massive government overthrow, as has been alluded to. even if those dickwads who stormed the capitol did kill Pelosi, Pence, or other heinous acts, there wasn't enough planning laid out as to what to do next. yes I know I've seen images from the event that made it look like some of those militia guys had it all mapped out, but IMO this is like some duck dynasty scooby-doo shit planning. taking hostages resulting in a stand-off with the military? how do you think that would pan out. they'd all be scoped out of existence.

    wonder if Jan. 6th will one day be celebrated as a holiday in the Q/loco/maga camps, kinda like some bizarro world version of Guy Fawkes night. burn an effigy of mike pence and all that.

    *ahem* you mean he's doing all kinds of grifting, right out in the open, where everyone can see, to tighten up his grip on all the marks still lining up to hand over buckets of cash to him, so they can receive their blessing from the almighty spray-tanned one, and possibly get a free sample of his exquisite new line of snake oil he's planning to roll out in the next coming months.

    it's so embarrassing. guys like that further perpetuate the stereotype that Texans are yee-ha stupid redneck racist cowboys. I know most intelligent individuals realize this isn't the case, and far from applicable to everyone here. Texas has one of, if not, the most diverse cities in the country (Houston). DFW where I am is a megalopolis packed with folks from everywhere. we're not all wearing cowboy hats, boots, and starched collared shirts, but guys like this want to keep that imagery alive, and all the other supremely out-of-date attitudes that come along with that. "the illegals are coming" oooh scary shit y'all!!! I'm more worried about what those Q fuck nuts are planning on doing once JFK fails to make a grand re-entry...

    this fucking guy has billboards on highways and shit around here with all sorts of douchebaggy catchphrases like "deport all illegals" "shut down the border" and other such thinly veiled racist crap, that makes any sane thinking person want to hurl. and his smug fucking squashed glaring midget face is posted up there high in the sky, just waiting for a bird to fly by and shit all over it. if any billboard deserves to be shotgun blasted, its his. I hate that reality has come to this. there is no more healthy balance in the US political system. being a republican now is essentially synonymous with being a closed minded, racist, arrogant twat. the dems are far from perfect, but at least they don't openly flaunt their racist BS like good ol' donny boy up there does. no one deserves to die a more painful humiliating death than these smug republican cunts. and watch, he'll probably get a ton of votes, come close to getting elected, or some other stupidness. are there any islands left on this planet one can move to to get away from all this??

    yes. him and Laurence Fishburne were sorely missed. they brought some serious acting chops to the 1st Matrix film that really helped convince you as a viewer to take the concepts laid out in the film seriously. the agent Smith replacement (Jonathan Groff) was a total goofball and annoying as hell. I liked him ok in Mindhunter, but he was hamming it up big time in this role.

    did you happen to attend a holiday gathering recently in which a chemically scented drink labeled "kool-aid" was being given to the attendees?

    I made it approximately 50 minutes before giving up. BUT I dove back in again last night picking up from where I left off, and found it was somewhat enjoyable. I tried to pretend that the first 50 minutes never happened, and am watching an entirely different movie starting at this point. around this part of the film is when they finally get around to showing the sentinels/CGI "real" world stuff, which gets some points in my book, as it's eye candy at least. I didn't make it to the end though, may try and force myself to do so this evening. I just don't understand how this happens. there were apparently test screenings as well. how does no one pre-release realize this is a total disaster of a film? it's like Lana had a half-baked idea to take the Matrix into meta land, which someone at the studio must have liked, and then gave her full reign to go further and further down the rabbit hole...until no one had any clue what this thing is about any more. aren't there people involved in the film making process that try and jump in and steer this thing back to sensical waters when this happens? I read bits of interviews with some of the actors who said that they were just as confused on what this is about as well. apparently they'd ask Lana to explain a scene, and she'd ramble on for 10 minutes, then they'd be even more confused than before. the tone of this film feels entirely off, the editing sucks, the special effects are amateur hour, the acting sucks, and on and on. so disappointing. the 2nd & 3rd films had their problems, but at least the tone from the first one carried through in those. this new one is like a bad joke. but who knows, maybe that was Lana's intention. to ruin the franchise in order to stick it to the studio or something. can't imagine they'd do another one now.

    saw a billboard for a a funeral home promoting $895 cremations and $3,995 funerals. I'm not sure what the intention is here by advertising this. is this to try and get people to think about going with a cheaper option? like fuck it, just burn me. won't know the difference at that point. let the relatives spend the money saved on beer or weed or something.

    don't ask me why, but I was curious to see melanya's nft. here it is - and at the record low price of 1 Solana! (wtf that is, no idea. but apparently it equals $150 USD)

    not to rain on your parade, but chen effed up in listing her right next to you in the first place, because that T-Swift album was actually from 2020. I should not know these things, but sadly I do.

    depends. I am not into this whole crypto/NFT world and am no expert, but have a good friend that is heavily into it. I asked his thoughts on NFTs, and he mentioned that people he knows buy them as some sort of "badge of honor" in the crypto world. that if you have super expensive NFTs in your portfolio, this somehow indicates you are a player, and are accepted into other crypto circles because you have them. just pointing this out as an example that not everyone buys them with good intentions of supporting the artist.

    pretty much this. I wonder how much of a pay check he gets when one of those $11,000 turntables sells... wasn't he also selling some super expensive app awhile back? none of it seems worth it to me. but I'm not the target market here. maybe if I had millions in the bank I'd think differently about it. who knows.
