Oh yeah, there's some research pointing towards conservatives being more likely to have dark triad personality traits (see for example this article) so this isn't very surprising

Perfect

if they needed to write a check they'd go down to the pub and the pub owner would vouch for their credit

Well that was an unexpectedly hilarious turn

"Harris immediately framed her candidacy with a specific false reference to this case as a contest of 'prosecutor vs. convicted felon,'" Trump's filing says.

Harris' framing is an "inaccurate attack," it adds, without describing an inaccuracy. Harris is a former district attorney for San Francisco and attorney general for California; in May, Trump became the first former president convicted of a felony.

This is straight out of the reich wing playbook; they'll complain about how this or that is a lie, but they will never fucking ever actually specify what was the part that was incorrect. They just go "librul lies!" and their base eats it the fuck up

Bweh

Well, at least I tried.

Oh lol I just posted an olympic shooting meme with the Turkish guy and then I see this. To be fair he is incredibly memeable though

Hah, huge surprise that this was their reaction. Garbage product made by a garbage company run by garbage people.

Blackadder is one series that I keep meaning to watch, it seems hilarious. Not sure it was ever broadcast in Finland way back when, but now we have torrentscompletely legal ways to acquire media off the internet

In more ways than just poison too! I think there's still limitations on how many mushrooms you're supposed to consume in some areas, because some of the fallout from the Chornobyl disaster is still present in them.

Ah, good 'ol Four Pests campaign. Only killed like 20 – 30 million people

I think they're two different kinds of people though. Some seem to think that racism isn't a problem anymore and it literally doesn't matter, and some think that racism was never a problem in the first place and is actually something we should strive for (because something something superior race something)

Problem isn’t convincing people that he’s racist. The problem is convincing people that it matters.

I'd argue that a more pressing concern is convincing people that it isn't a good thing, not that it matters

I've seen a lot of people raise doubts about whether there really are significant amounts of swing voters this time 'round, and I'd sort of tend to agree – if not for any other reason than it seems bizarre that somebody could be vacillating between Trump and Harris

many GOP strategists, including in the Trump camp, worried that attacks on Harris’s race and gender […] would pose a serious liability for the campaign

Do they seriously understand their base that badly, or is this just optics? "I hope his completely unexpected racism doesn't alienate our voters who are totally not racist we swear this is so bad we're so worried oh no"

Sounds like an ant lie to me tbh

Moth memes went away?

Oo I love Event Horizon. It's a bit of a scifi horror cult classic though isn't it? Not exactly Blade Runner, but not Battlefield Earth either.

One of my favorite trashy scifi movies is maybe Saturn 3 (Zardoz doesn't count!). It's a godawful piece of shit featuring Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, and a baby faced Harvey Keitel. It's astonishingly bad and great fun to watch, and there was some sort of fairly hilarious story behind how it got made too (I'll have to see if I can dig up the blog post I read about it)

edit: there's a whole website https://saturn3makingof.com/

But some fascists do manage to be pretty coherent. It's just that clearly Hitler wasn't one of them.

Interesting that they released Yashin. I wonder if he got asylum from somewhere or if he's staying in Russia? Neither NPR or The Guardian mentioned anything and I haven't done any searching yet.

Also, I had no idea who Whelan is so I went and read his wiki page – apparently he's a former US Marine who got arrested in Russia over charges of espionage. Based on the article I was left with the impression that the charges seem like bullshit, but his FSB buddy thing was, well… pretty weird if nothing else. Apparently he was in Russia for the wedding of a friend who's also a former Marine, and it somehow struck me as funny that jarheads seem to like Russia
