If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I thought this was an interesting counterpoint to the story told many times (and soon to be again in Scorsese's 'The Irishman'). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WQZ8SlzWgY Apparently things weren't quite as rosey as some portray, back in the days when the Kennedy's (and of course J. Edgar) were run...

Indeed - opinion is divided on the subject.

And on a similar note is anyone up to speed on what is happening with the Nick Fuentes (sp) vs Charlie Kirk spat? (or 'Groyper' insurgency or whatever they are calling it).

So about this movie...how does it compare?

So...ah...Milo is still alive - and it looks like like there are various changes happening in the Alt-Right.

Oh, and Richard Spencer has an optics problem...

Well it is really stupid to blame the public for obeying orders from firefighters in what was probably a highly confusing and disorienting circumstance. I like Mogg, but he can display a high degree of detachment from mere mortals. He's definitely no common moggie. He probably also heard that the f...

I can think of previous politically partisan elections but not woke inducing ones. The car may have been gently accelerating for some time, but since 2016 the pedal has been stamped to the floor.

The question isn’t when did the culture war start. The issue is when and why did it accelerate into current form.

Apologies for the misuse of 'weird'.

My guess would be that the trailer and cut scenes would be of that quality - but the game itself would have different graphics (if only to not be so distracting).

I saw that earlier.

Prof seems to be arguing that he be judged on the content of his character - if the said contents are 'Black', 'Queer' and 'Christian'

He could also probably get points for being 'Healthy at Any Size'.

That's some intersectional alchemy all right.

RedIce have had their backup YouTube channel nixed as well. Obviously alternative sources are available - you can probably find 'The Daily Shoah' in the same places - so that could save on time. I heard that Jim Goad is an upcoming guest for Red Ice - so at least there is that to look forward to.

So apparently Scorsese and Coppola don't much like the Marvel movies...
