Tombstone (1993)

my d.b. cooper theory is that the rapture happened while he was falling and he was the only christian worthy of heaven

this one probably won't go very far but i was thinking about how my mom would eat open faced grilled cheeses with sugar sprinkled on top and now i'm curious if anyone else is familiar with this

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

"patron saint" stop using catholic figures in a blasphemous way! it's disrespectful to catholics.

youve made me very happy by saying this

you...enjoy being disrespectful to catholics?

Waiter oh waiter more salt in my wound please!!!

We 100% ought to be armed, but I'm really concerned about aspects of the broader trans/lefty gun culture that's sprung up. My general experience with it is that a lot of people think having a gun is a superpower that makes the indestructible and often people neglect to learn important skills surrounding shooting, like deescalation or even just carrying and practicing with non-lethal options. Very quickly people get sucked into the Gun Badass fantasy and begin posturing as some kind of commando, often because there are social rewards to doing so among people who are themselves not armed and informed.

What I keep thinking of is that thing from the other day where somebody drew a gun on a transphobic street preacher and shoved it in his face. A bunch of comments were like 'I don't want to hear any one say anything bad about this, they need to learn a lesson'. So there are a lot of people going out, buying a gun, not understanding even the tactical considerations of how brandishing a gun and not using it will 1) give up any element of surprise which is your strongest asset and 2) immediately make you into a target for anyone around you to shoot, otherwise assault, rob, or even just identify.

There's a lot of people who don't know what the hell they're talking about, being led by other people who don't know what the hell they're talking about, discounting a lot of extant information out there, and just acting on bad ideas. Everyone needs a quip, everyone needs a slogan, everyone needs some icon to present themself as a revolutionary hero for owning a gun and knowing how to operate it. And so many people fall for it, so many people reward that kind of behavior.

I also think of that woman whose photos have gone around recently, carrying the AK wearing a red beret and a remarkably wack plate carrier. She's been suggested to me as a friend on facebook by its algorithm. Her public account is plastered with photos of her at actions wearing her little hero costume, with the names of professional photographers who have taken cool pictures of her at actions, excerpts from articles she's been quoted in, names and photos of people she organizes with, her partners even. Basking in the glory of all these aesthetic signifiers suggesting she's some revolutionary hero, and just as many shibboleths to suggest she isn't.

Do not take yourself too seriously because you are an American with a gun. Gunfights always, 100% of the time, suck shit, and aren't cool, and you will never have a good time shot at. It should always be avoided if it can. It is unbelievably easy to get killed. Even if your splits are a consistent .12, even if you can drill dimes at 100 yards. The way you win a gunfight is by not being in one. Not puffing up your chest bigger than the other guy.

so tired of the word “consume”

like no you did not “consume” a film! you watched it! stop being a loser

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Why do all the beautiful, colorful vintage bathrooms end up in the wrong hands. Come here. I would treasure you

More arches please

Imagine seeing this and wanting to rip it out and replace it with gray luxury vinyl plank

I so desperately want to be able to convince Trump supporters with facts and logic and empathy, but it’s so important to remember that their ignorance is INTENTIONAL. my mom didn’t let us watch Sleeping Beauty growing up. I asked her why recently and she said, “it was evil.” when I pointed out other movies had similar themes and depictions of evil, and asked what the difference was, she couldn’t. I pressed one more time and she just said, “it felt evil to me. I didn’t like it”. same thing with dune 2: she said it was “dark”, and I was, “literally, like the movie’s lighting? Or the themes?” and she said “I don’t know” and didn’t want to talk about it more. many conservatives genuinely cannot tell the difference between “I don’t like it” and “this is evil” and they do not care to learn despite many chances

CORY BOOKER BROKE THE RECORD

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.
