Don’t forget Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair and the gold Sharpie.

To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him — generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby.

(I think this photo is actually a reconstruction by BBC Newsbeat rather than a Short-Fingered Vulgarian original, but still).

5½ flaps per second is impressive; you must be playing Foldy Hummingbird.

More like, “RIP ZA/UM, fuck the company wearing their face”.

As I understand it, if any seller is using Amazon fulfillment centers, the product you’re given is picked out of the same box regardless of the named seller. That makes it impossible to buy confidently from Amazon based on the reputation of the seller, and makes Amazon themselves an unreputable seller.

The Simpsons movie came out so long ago that it is old enough to do porn

Whoa, major spoilers for the untitled 2027 second movie!

I only have DARN paper, will that work?

What are chickens? We just don’t know.

I’ve got very little time for Charlie Kaufman. I quite liked Eternal Sunshine, but I generally find his stuff pretentious and get a vibe of smugness. That might be unfair – I guess I’m just not the target audience.

It’s not just the EU flag, it’s the flag of Europe.

Just to clarify, since Yezhov (listed above in the post you’re replying to) was the main architect of the Yezhovshchina, and was himself later a victim of the same Great Purge, did he do some hard self-reflecting and turn himself in?

I think you mean it was released in September 2023?

Seems a little redundant when the article we’re all commenting on does precisely that.

Kind of. His target was James VI/I, who seeded the Troubles in Ireland, burned Catholics at the stake, dissolved parliament, and more.

Fawkes was Christian and was a terrorist by conventional measures, and the Catholic monarchs prior were also brutal, but we should be careful not to apotheosise James.

I’d love to know if my enormous blocklist of instances and communities is unusual or if most people end up curating their global feeds massively to keep them interesting. Anime, porn, US-specific politics, authoritarian-friendly politics, furries, wojak-style barrel-scraping memes - I don’t want to downvote most of these just because they’re not my bag, but I suspect I end up with a tiny fraction of the total Lemmy+Piefed content.

He said he was a doctor, but i don’t know what kind of doctor smokes over a corpse.
