Why 'You Can See Everything' is captivating audiences

Reply in thread

Well, I will always support open sea adventures. I know what I am saying sounds hyperbolic, but I don't want to say why I feel this way because it necessitates spoilers. The most I will say is I found myself thinking of Citizen Kane and the films of Kubrick.

Feel free to come back at me once you have seen it, but the situation of Holmes, Thernaos and the filming are so specifically unique that it's a singular 1-of-1 moment in time. I wouldn't say Nathan Fielder is the greatest director, far from it, but he was the right person, at the right time in the right place. I don't think anything quite like this has happened or can happen again.

Florida gambling helpline director sentenced to nearly 10 years over $1.4m theft to fund addiction

Sullivan also recounted how he progressed from $25 sports bets to wagering $50,000 at a time – and losing more than $2m through gambling.

And no sentence for the actually villain of the story, Bovada. Who instead of recognizing this problematic gambling spree, inducted him into their VIP program giving him 50% on deposits. ProPublica did a great video on those non-existent safeguards these apps pretend to have.

Gambling is wildly out of control, but we live in a klpeto hellscape so regulation will never come.

NYC Mayor Mamdani releases 9/11 records showing officials misled New Yorkers about air quality around Ground Zero

“There was poison in the air, and on the ground, and in the window sills, and in your air conditioners and covering your pets and your clothes, and it stayed there for months. Everyone knew. Now it’s very clear that the city knew as well,” Stewart said.

Wait wait wait... no... so it ain't so Jon. Rudy Gulliani, Americas Mayor... is a lying piece of shit?!?

Tim Walz defiantly defends trans people from Republicans’ “demonizing” attacks

I'm honestly heartened to hear Waltz specfically voice support for trans folk. This is opposed to Harris who said she would follow the law in regards to my community, which sounds good but I need everyone to understand that it could be said by a governor in a southern state enforcing anti trans legislation. Waltz actually went the distance to say we should to be legally left alone. There is a stark difference between these two statements, even if I glad to hear both.

Reddit purges all NSFW subreddits

r/transgender_surgeries wasn't porn. It was a community outlet for results so people could understand what to expect. Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a "kink" and assume our existence is entirely sexual.

It's fucking infuriating.

JK Rowling falls silent as she could be prosecuted in Imane Khelif lawsuit

Reply in thread

Only because she attacked a cis woman. No consequences from the years doing everything in her power to targetedly harass individual trans peolle, the community as a whole or publishing books about trans serial killers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see her go quite, I hope she stays that way. But I'm bitter it wasn't a realization that her crusade was mysgonstic hatred, only that she was a zealot who accidently friendly fired.
