My grandma says she can't stop thinking about Lord of the Rings since we watched the film trilogy. She's becoming an LOTR fan in her 80s somehow.

Saw "The Zone of Interest" in the cinema yesterday. Question: when two empty beds were shown, why were they made up in the Anglo-American way, with blanket, folded-over sheet and rectangular pillow, and not the German way, with square white duvet and pillow and no blanket?

A good litmus test for whether you should be able to talk about ethics in comedy is whether you think old Onion vids are obsolete and offensive (wrong) or one of the great runs in topical humor (correct)

There are at least 60,000 American-origin settlers living illegally in the West Bank. ~ 15% of all West Bank settlers are from the US. Americans can make tax-deductible donations to these settlements, even though the US's official position is that the settlements are illegal.

Our tax dollars are being used to butcher thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians so that right-wing settlermen like this from the US can fly thousands of miles away and take people's land under the guise of Judaism. This is not Judaism. It is Western imperialism.

Starship Troopers is framed as a propaganda film in the world in which it transpires, incorporating elements meant to show how seductive a fascistic stratocracy can be on the surface. Some think the seductive elements undermine the criticism because they were manipulated by them.

The only thing this law does is require slightly more space for breeding pigs so they don't spend their lives unable to make a 180 degree turn or even extend their limbs, which is the status quo. But even that's too much to ask from these barbaric factory farms.

Pro-Israel propagandists are sharing this doctored/fake image smearing Bushnell as an antisemite. They want left critics of Israel to be antisemites so badly because their own pro-Israel views, which typically rely on falsehoods, can't win out on their own merits.
