This is a fantastic roll call of a thread.

I agree. It has a small town feel for now. It’s bound not to last forever, but it does create a cohort of those of us who were here for the small town days.

God, we suck so bad.

I have a standing subjugation appointment with my neighbor every Thursday in fact. Don’t knock it til you try it.

I didn’t ask how you would prefer he be, I would prefer that too. I would not say he sucks though, at least compared to the status quo. But for you he sucks enough to make it the point of your (in my opinion) unhelpful and nuancephobic comment, in the context of celebrating progressive gains.

He’s taken heat for pursuing radical solutions to homelessness, he criticized aid to Israel before it was cool, and he got arrested for trying to hold ICE accountable.

So I’m asking who you would have supported instead. That’s all.

This seems like the kind of ridiculous purity test that divides potential coalitions. He’s got a ton of Jews and Muslims in his district but he was speaking out against aid to Israel before it was cool.

How would/did you vote differently? And other than what it means for how he serves his very divided constituents, why does the nuance of his position on Zionism matter here?

I genuinely question the intent of both comments you’ve made in this thread.

Ooh thank you, I never realized this. I’m sure I’ve spelled it the same incorrect way and this makes way more sense.

Hats that go hard

I wonder what the legal ramifications of pushing one over would be

I posted this picture right before my first spin of the record, but it keeps ending up back on my record player so I was compelled to come back and say

Goddamn it fuck, this is a good album.

‘44 with Cary Grant. I did not know there was a 1969 version.

Everything I know about Shinkansen I learned from Jet Lag and that is that Shinkansen are amazing.

This is really wonderful to look at.

Great album, great setup

-This is Spinal Tap

-The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (original Danny Kaye)

-Wonder Man

-Nearly any film starring Danny Kaye, really

-Most of the Thin Man movies

-Bringing Up Baby

-Father Goose

-Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House

Gosh there must be more but people have already added a lot of great ones, but I haven’t seen these commented yet.

Edit: thought of more

This is my favorite movie of all time. I kid you not. Has been since I first saw it as a kid. I am gobsmacked to see this here but delighted.

The amount of unearned condescension in this comment is hilarious.

Certainly and one could exacerbate the other.

Or not, i have no clue what I’m talking about.

It’s hilarious that those are the things they chose to contrast the algae story.

Almost seems backwards. If you’re spending that much time in close proximity to a person and you are finding them attractive, that would seem to be a good sign.
