  • Exactly how I coped with having the administrator responsible for discipline as a history teacher in high school. Dude was my nemesis for three years. So I decided the best way to fight back was to be the best student in his class.

    Wound up on friendly terms after I was out of school.

  • What the F is up with IMDB?

    Jump

  • I'm there for the trivia after I watch a movie. Sometimes to watch people's mental issues play out in the "goofs" section.

  • The White House says they will "identify and neutralize" secular political groups that are anti-American, "radically pro-transgender" and anarchist. It declares Anarchists 20 Anti-Fascists as a major

  • The Episcopal Church welcomes you.

    We're not perfect, but we're trying; we have openly Queer (including trans clergy) and have re-written our canon on marriage to include same-sex marriage. I'm a priest in this church. Never imagined that the Trans flag that is hanging on my wall in my office (given to me by a fellow demonstrator at a No Kings protest last year) would possibly land me in jail some day.

    But seriously, at this point it is the duty of any Christian, if they truly believe in Jesus, to stand with Trans folks and proclaim anti-fascism. Because this is where Jesus would be standing.

  • I really like the contrasting blue splotchiness

  • Because I'm an insufferable pedant sometimes: MLK's speech was on the Lincoln Memorial steps (they have brass replicas of his foot prints on the very spot). The crowd was gathered in front of those steps and the crowd stretched back alongside the edges of the pool.

  • Hawai'i here, can confirm.

  • Did they ever define what "woke" is?

    Jump

  • Superman got his start beating up slum lords. That's not a joke. Superman started out as the sort of guy who rooted out corruption. The "aw, shucks" version of Superman is both a bit of a later development (and also kind of the persona that he takes on as Clark Kent)

    this is exactly the shit fucking job you'd expect from him to repair a national monument

    Jump

  • I'm laughing because I grew up in the ghetto and I saw plenty houses painted in both this color and a few in this manner. My mom would always say "free paint!"

  • Emerich Juettner: The One Dollar Counterfeiter

    Jump

  • When I worked retail I used to think about this all the time. No one ever checks 1s and 5s and I always wondered if there was a large-scale counterfeiting operation happening that we knew nothing about.

  • Me thinking about my Sega Dreamcast that my mom GAVE AWAY to my cousin when we were packing up for a move. "I thought she'd have fun with it." Of course she's going to have fun with it! I had Jet Set Radio AND Crazy Taxi!

  • Would you actually have to go back to high school?

    Jump

  • TIL this is a wide-spread recurring nightmare/dream…

    I haven’t had one of these in a long time. I was a kind of crap high school student and even got my GED so I could attend classes at a community college and transfer to a four-year university. I now have a master’s and I don’t think I’ve had one of these nightmares since graduating and entering into my profession. But while in college and grad school I had these frequently!

    The whole idea is preposterous of course. They would never Billy Madison us for a clerical error on their part.

  • One of these Jakes is not like the other

  • Thank you for the subtle reminder of what her actual name is lol. I corrected it in the post

  • What a roller coaster I experienced with "Series Acclimation Mil." More or less started with an eyeroll and ended with me giddy and pointing at the screen like that Leo meme. It actually made me come around on SAM as a character. I recently watched the final arc of DS9 with this episode's revelations in mind, and it really enriches things while also making them more complicated. It actually becomes a sort of fitting coda to DS9 (which itself is a show about enriching and also complicating things). Tawny Newsome is a treasure.

    I loved ACA and I'm sad that it's been cancelled.

    EDIT to correct Tawny Newsome's name. Must've had The Last Man on Earth on my mind when I wrote it as "Tandy." That or the Tony Todd/Candyman thing just got in there and portmandeau portmandeux Natalie Portman Mountain Dew it got all combined, yeah?

  • Insert laugh track

    Jump

  • Watching What We Left Behind makes me REALLY want to know more back story between Marc Alaimo and Nana Visitor.

  • Etiquette dictated you covered the receiver and yelled very loudly for who it was for

    Jump

  • Born in the early 80s. My kids call it the 1900s. I laugh.

  • When it was a telemarketer, we'd say "just a moment" and then sit the phone in front of the TV speaker. You'd hear little buzzy "hello? hello?" punctuating Jerry and George's coffee shop banter. It was funny. Other times my friends would make sex noises in the background. Also funny.

    Another fun one was answering the phone with a question like "is Becky there?" This would always throw them off. Can't do any of this nowadays because now they just note that your number is an active one and sell it to data brokers (which is why I will never have "read receipts" activated on my phone)

  • Trump administration now classifies Antifa and left-wing networks among ‘major’ terror groups

    Jump

  • I was still an active member of a Baptist Church in the early 2000s and I remember arguing with the leader of my Sunday School group about the dangers of the Patriot Act and how it opens the door to stuff like this. He just waved it away as me being anti-authoritarian and paranoid. Well look who was proved to be right in the end, MATT?!?

  • Recently had a WWII vet visit my parish. Dude was over 100 years old and was in town for a Pearl Harbor commemoration. He told me that he was among the first group of Allied soldiers to fly over Europe after the surrender and he described seeing people trying to make a life among the rubble of their towns and cities. He then compared this to what he was seeing in Gaza and started to lament the US' support of Israel and how he saw clear connections to what is going on there and what he witnessed in Europe. You're absolutely right, there are now too few living who remember...

  • Anon thinks about Truman

    Jump

  • They do actually nearly kill him in the movie. Paul Giamatti's character protests about this and refuses to cooperate when Ed Harris' character wants a full-blown hurricane at sea to try and get Truman to comply
