Film Critic Ted Cruz Outraged By ‘Out of Touch’ Hollywood’s Top Movies List
  • They almost encounter each other. He’s hiding in the hotel room after Llewelyn is killed near the end of the movie. Anton is literally shivering with fear on the other side of the door. Somehow he disappears before the sheriff enters the room.

  • First independent survey of deaths in Gaza reports more than 80,000 fatalities
  • There are SO MANY red flags here. The fact that they refer to a two month ceasefire is another one. When was there ever a ceasefire observed by Israel for more than a couple days at most?! And I love that being starved to death or dying because you could no longer get cancer treatment is considered “nonviolent”. Jesus fucking christ.

  • No Country is a film (novel) about how personal gain has supplanted spiritual morality as the driving force behind our greater human culture.

    Josh Brolin embarks on this whole crusade just to secure his bag of money. Woody Harrelson is a self-described “day trader” while he moonlights as a hitman. Javier Bardem kills them both, but he’s terrified of Tommy Lee Jones because he’s just a sheriff who is simply committed to upholding the law as he sees it. As misguided as their respective motivations are (Anton is a psychopath with very black-and-white morals) they are the only two characters who are not driven by material gain. That’s what makes them both so formidable, in the context of the film.

    I’ve rewatched this movie so many times, and this to me is the overarching theme of the story.

  • Where can I buy a Luigi Mangione shirt that will donate to his legal fund?

    I want to buy a tshirt that features the “Catholic saint” style Luigi art, but I don’t want to support some shitty t-shirt shill in the process. Ideally I would like to buy from somewhere that will donate a portion of the proceeds to his legal fund.

    Failing that, I’d like to at least support the original artist. Pic included for reference. Yes I know, terrible resolution - Google sucks now, it can’t be helped.

    Me when people are cheering on Iran, a country that literally executes gay people
  • Literally nobody is “cheering on” Iran. As so many others have said, we’re cheering for the defeat of Israel. May they rot in hell.

    Imperialist aggression is wrong. Full stop. You don’t get to murder a bunch of people because you claim the moral high ground on one issue. The US never “brought democracy to Iraq” either. They killed a million people and ran some sham elections for the optics.

    Call me self-righteous all you want. You’re defending settler colonialist aggression. Give the Palestinians a chance at self-determination and stop murdering people in their homes. Then we can talk about LGBTQ rights.

  • Me when people are cheering on Iran, a country that literally executes gay people
  • If a country that was more progressive than the US (not hard to find one) started bombing the shit out of New York City, would you be like “well, they deserve it for their transphobia”?

    Do you realize that Orthodox Jews consider women to be inferior to men? Like, they won’t even shake a woman’s hand.

    Sacha Baron Cohen, Zionist shithead though he is, actually got chased down the street in Israel by an angry mob for playing his flamboyant gay character Bruno. He had to yell “I’m a Jew I’m a Jew” to keep from getting the shit kicked out of him.

    Israel is literally committing genocide RIGHT NOW. I’m sure there are plenty of gay, trans, nonbinary Palestinians who have head their limbs blown off, if that’s really what upsets you.

    The genocide apologism is so obvious it’s sad. You point to one issue that will make liberals go “oh no, scary Muslims!” and you run with that. Fix your heart.

  • A couple uncommon PRS Hollowbodies

    This is my 2008 PRS Hollowbody II singlecut and my 2006 PRS McCarty hollowbody doublecut. Both were purchased second-hand within the past six years.

    The singlecut was originally offered through the PRS Artist Package and I’ve only ever found one other guitar like it on the internet. Last year I finally pulled all the piezo electronics and had it completely rewired as a regular passive guitar. Aside from that, it’s all stock.

    The doublecut was a prototype produced before the hollowbody was officially offered as part of the McCarty line, or so I was told.

    Both of these guitars are remarkably similar. Playability is absolutely off the charts, and I enjoyed the singlecut so much that it was pretty much-love-at-first-sight when I found the doublecut a few years later. They are the lightest damn guitars I have ever played; both weigh in at about 5lbs. The weight makes all the difference in the world during long-ass bar gigs and weddings. Tonally, they’re way more percussive than a Les Paul, but incredibly versatile nonetheless. The way the top is braced to the back allows you to crank the gain on your amp/PA without having to worry about the feedback issues typically associated with hollowbody electrics.

    Hands-down, these are two of my most prized possessions. I never post pics of my instruments to normal social media because I worry about theft, so I decided to do this little write-up to help grow this new (to me) community.

    2022 LP Deluxe - Most recent purchase

    Picked this one up a couple weeks ago. I’ve been playing for close to 20 years, and this is the first Les Paul I’ve ever really fallen in love with. The big 50’s neck profile is extremely comfortable, and holy crap do I love these Mini Humbuckers! Even though everyone quotes Spinal Tap when I say it, the sustain is exceptional; it gives the tone a very “vocal” quality.
