misogynoir

I’m trying to work what kind of film genre that would be.

Probably a mix between 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and 1970s blaxploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back-talking street workers).

The fusion of tropes probably means that the women depicted are either given cartoonish-level plot armour to endure the abuse, or, more darkly, never make it past the first scene.

You’re in a news grave, Peter!

In a perfect world, where all criminals white or blue are brought to justice under the same hammer, you would have a point and my heart.

But the world is not just; you know that, I know that, they know that.

dude, this is powerful trolling - congrats

I mean, dangling the concept of a moisture farming teen in front of us, and then dropping that entire cinematic arc in favour of some space wizard bullshit? Like, hello? Know your audience?

Rogue One and Andor are the only watchable things that have come out in the last few years.

You lose that buff two weeks after acclimitizing to another country, and the perceived extra charisma is actually people nervously smiling around you to mask their limited english (half the language is just obscure idioms)

I don’t know why she’s nervous, she clearly knew the spec well and didn’t have to resort to modern abstraction frameworks to serve a simple static site.

Transubstantiation remains a reprehensible pseudophilosophical topic.

I’ll compromise: they’re about as politically neutral as the US democratic party is left-wing.

Beautiful, just beautiful. This! This is why we’re spending all that effort unwrapping those scrolls that Vesuvius tried to bury for some reason all those millennia ago.

Malfoy suppresses his rage. He knows for sure that Fred had a bigger dick, but has to settle with George’s piece.

BBC

Are you serious? The BBC are literally a government mouthpiece, with a subversive right-wing bias. When Labour is in power, they over-report every misdeed, and when the Tories are in power, they maybe raise an eyebrow as the country burns. The last BBC director was a major Tory who received a sizeable bribe from his party during his tenure.

On that sombre note:

It was only on Monday afternoon, when the parents were gathered at the school, that the news came that five of their children were dead. The father explained that the boy who survived was the smallest student in the party; maybe the others (two women leaders, four girls and one boy) had been huddling round him to protect him from the cold

He had been having an affair with the teddy bear.

Woah. That’s a lot of printer cartridges. I hope you get the colours you need!
