I feel like I read somewhere on Hexbear that the form that the decay of empire will take from within the beast's belly is, like, ideologically incoherent nimrods committing random acts of violence against the ruling class... I wonder how the person who wrote that feels now!

It's disappointing to find out that this once-enigmatic figure with all the trappings of a folk hero, who had so many people mesmerized for days with his apparent charisma and the catharsis he provided, is... Well, this chump. I almost want to say that this is "not canon"!

Yeah if this is the guy, it really shows that there's a deep resentment for the ruling class among all political affiliations. Some of them are extremely confused and have a bunch of really bad and backwards ideas, but underneath their confusion is someone who has lots of potential.

Just gotta purge the brain worms.

This is a reminder to never post under your real name online, lest you be outed as cringe when you do one cool thing

Reminder that in The Beekeper Jason Statham plays a guy whose whole thing is bees and he's a member of a secret society called Beekeepers, but none of the other beekeepers are all about bees, so that's not a Beekeeper thing, but just something Jason Stathams character does.

The shooter's allrecipes.com account has dropped. Five stars for some three ingredient no bake oreo cheesecake squares bullshit. Oh well nice while it lasted.

Edit

the beekeeper unironically rocked, it was like the matrix but without any of the philosophy and just the dumb action shit and world building, the villain was hunter biden, and the bee puns and bee themed villains were actually hilarious

my favorite moment of the movie by far is when

Will companies put exec photos and bios back on the websites?

The fact that even terminally online, right wing tech bros think the U.S. healthcare system is immoral speaks volumes.

The Lindy Way of Living

A technology lawyer named Paul Skallas argues we should be gleaning more wisdom from antiquity.

Female circumcision? Lindy.
Conflating astronomical events with doom? Lindy.
Patriarchy? Lindy.

This ridiculous paleo-lite view of the world, where you pick and choose from history with no real criteria, really needs to go. I don’t understand the value of pretending that ancient times were glorious, when the life expectancy was under 40 and most people were illiterate and died from maladies of the teeth. Or violence.

Everything he’s wearing in his picture? Not Lindy.

Its like a mismash of every sort of "reject modernity" take but no coherent alternative.

Like there's one where he retweets a Tucker Carlson rant about post modern archtechture being soul draining, but adds that the cause is clearly just because its cheaper.

I still fall in the cautiously skeptical camp about this being our guy but this is definitely one way to square up all the contradictions for sure.

30% seems optimistic tbh lol

Wait so the hero all along was Green Mario?
