He is a Roman history buff, he should know better than to chain himself to an empire in freefall.

I was a bit worried when it breezed through the first half of the book, but it more than made up for it adapting the second half. Despite knowing where the story was headed I got emotional towards the end.

Boll movies are glorious in their awfulness, Doom was mostly just boring and uninspired (despite a great cast on paper).

They hide from the media spotlight by increasingly being the media spotlight.

Fun (?) Fact: Trump is actually a fan of the massacre:

Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," he said.

“That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak… as being spit on by the rest of the world.”

What do you mean by “there is enough material”? King is writing a third book, not with Straub who sadly died, but based on ideas the two of them had about another sequel. It will also be one of the last novels that King will write since he has announced that he will retire soon.

Because the Russian government owns the US government.

And so the whole world was doomed because the US sucks. Which tracks, really.

But the AI also tells stories. So even if your story is great, it will be drowned in thousands of AI slop stories. Publishing houses can already not screen new novels anymore because they are getting flooded with hundreds of AI generated books every day (complete with AI generated, fake authors).

On rewatch I loved he off everything feels from the get-go.

This movie and The Great convinced me that he will be an excellent Lex Luthor, and he absolutely delivered.

Well, you might be in for a surprise with Zuckerberg, he does Jiu-Jitsu and actually won in tournaments.

“You want to know how to combat your depression? Sure, but what about a cold Pepsi first?”

Maybe I have to rewatch it, but I remember a lot of the characters making a lot of really dumb decisions.

It’s been almost a decade, time to fail spectacularly again!

These billionaire fucks are completely delusional. They have to go.

It’s almost as if everything fascists claim others do is just projection.

I can’t speak for Italy, but Nazi Germany would have collapsed anyway. The whole system was entirely dependent on lots of foreign lending that Hitler had no Intention on paying back. He had also pissed off pretty much all international trade partners.

Germans as a whole were a lot worse off than before Hitler gained power, working a lot more for a lot less, with shortages of everyday goods left and right.

Fascism is inherently self-destructive, so that won’t happen. But the collapse will cost a lot of human lives.

It’s not even that climate measures are costly, they’re a net positive in the long run! But nobody is interested in the long run, because the filthy rich live in an alternate universe where they will live forever in luxury far away from the filth of the rest of us.
