ngl "2 doggers, a lad out on the rob for diesel, a fly tipper and an actual terrorist get swept up into an international incident" would be a really funny premise for a slice of life British comedy

Sad to report the new Pulp concert film on MUBI features the double whammy of AI-slathered archive footage - check out that abomination below - and inexplicably auto-tuned vocals, for a singer whose entire vocal style is the polar opposite of auto-tune. Horrible. (There's a clip from Dr Who though.)

At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of Fermi's Progress or even Wake, it may say more about the reader than the books. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. With incessant Chris's posts, alongside more posts and honestly, just a lot of posts, it's pretty difficult to still claim total ignorance on this one. Perhaps there is a deeper reason why people say they haven't read Fermi's Progress and feel the need to make it known: They want Chris to do more promotional book posts.

I had cause to discuss this brilliant thing today. Captain America has a few important things to say about America, as written by Peter B. Gillis (author of my beloved Tailgunner Jo comics).
Listen to me — all of you out there! You were told by this man — your hero — that America is the greatest country in the world! He told you that Americans were the greatest people — that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on about how precious America was — how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America! Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals — its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash! A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth! I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could as easily be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different from them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn America into nothing! And the only reason you’re not less than nothing — is that it’s still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!

Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made
