Pope Francis made a bunch of new Cardinals from all over the world, so nobody knows what will happen.

Given the latest reports, the current Pope is either going to make a full recovery or died a week ago. We’ll probably find out in about a week.
It’s actually really effective. People are going to hear about a movie and if they feel like they already saw the movie, that’s the end of it. If it’s banned completely, they might get a bootleg DVD and watch the entire uncensored movie.
Kinda like how TikTokers think they’re well informed, and don’t bother seeking out information elsewhere. But try finding anything out about what’s happening in Hong Kong, the Uighurs, or Tianamen Square on TikTok. It’s just not there yet people using that platform never consider what information they aren’t seeing as long as there’s enough there to make it feel like it’s not missing anything.
China is actually really good at censorship. When people see 95% of things they generally won’t put effort into finding the other 5%.
Old news. It went super nova a few months back. But they’ll probably keep us from seeing it for about 600 years.
Yeah and it ran until the 70s, so there will be a lot of legal land mines with using that character for quite awhile.
Yes everyone is aware of this power so are using the word as a propaganda tool to further their causes. And everyone is aware that the word is being used as a propaganda tool.
The scary part is that by watering down the meaning of the word, it’s made actual genocide more likely. If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.
It’s 2025, everyone is both doing genocide and is denying genocide all of the time. Unfortunately that word no longer has any meaning.
Yeah I was talking about TVs… we are discussing movies after all. Moreover, TVs that the average person has.
There’s a huge jump in quality between the TVs the average person has now compared to 20+ years ago.
Yeah but I’m a little old fashioned so I like to sit on my couch and watch things. And you can get a TV that’s insanely better than anything that existed a decade ago for the price of a good smart phone.
The huge improvements in TV screens have a lot to do with it too, I think.
When we only had CRT screens at home it was a big jump in quality to go to the theater. But when you have a 4K screen in your living room, there’s less reason to go to the theater.
Yup, the death of cinema has more to do with inconsiderate assholes and big screen TVs being affordable now.
Sorry to Marty Scorsese, but I’m not going to the cinema to see some septuagenarians talk about a hit they did decades ago for three and a half hours.

The colour orange didn’t exist until they discovered oranges.
Canaries are named after the Canary islands. The islands were named after dogs (canines).

Which world do you live in? People voted for Donald Trump, a guy who wanted to shoot BLM protestors and says he’ll let Israel do whatever they want.
The edgelord bullshit only makes you popular with people that agree with you. It has demonstrably failed to bring people to the causes you care about.
I am “what have the Romans ever done for us?”
Yeah and it was Vladimir Putin the year after that. So we had the Internet for a year until Putin came along and fucked it all up.
Then they had Zuckerberg in 2010, Trump in 2016, Musk in 2021. Nice reference to get a feel for optimism in certain times while also being able to track some things going to shit.
Getting some Pol Pot vibes from this. Ideology can lead to some really weird conclusions.
Somone like Taylor Swift isn’t destroying people’s lives and she’s not overworking other people to make that money.
Sure she has too much money, but that can be solved by having more sensible tax policies. Show me where she’s bribing congress and donating to the GOP to keep her taxes low.
These kinds of memes only exist to prove how edgy people are but they don’t accomplish anything. Saying “I’m so hardcore I even hate the billionaires people like” doesn’t do anything other than push people away from whatever movement you claim to support.
But congratulations, you’re the edgiest socialist edge lord on the internet. That sound you hear is the Swifties (who might otherwise care about the issues you care about) heading towards the door.
People like Elon Musk and Donald Trump divide people so they don’t think about what they’re doing. You’re helping them.
The gait stuff is good. But I feel like it might be easier to stash a change of clothes somewhere rather then sewing up something that converts into something else.
Well there was the episode where he started wearing a MAGA hat… but not because he supported the politics, he just wanted to be ostracized by everyone.
