This is fucking embarrassing.

Wait, so cancelling is good now? Dear MAGA, please make up your fucking minds.

And, y'know, grow a spine.

Gotta love the use of "Pro Palestine" here, as if the only reason to be upset about genocide is because you have particularly strong feelings towards the specific people being genocided. God forbid we just generally think that genocide is bad no matter who it's done to or why.

From what little I know of the way Japanese humour works, there's a decent chance this is all just a bit. There was a guy in Japan who married a different kind of virtual girlfriend not that long before LLMs hit the mainstream, and I heard from a few different Japanese people that he was almost certainly doing it as a joke. Apparently Japanese humour is very, very deadpan and they love seeing people really commit to the bit.

Abject fucking cowardice.

Wasn't Charlie supposed to be some kind of advocate for free speech? Because this sure doesn't seem very free speechy.

Even if you really need that $100,000 reward, they'll screw you out of it just like they did that person who reported Luigi Mangione. Collaborating with fascists won't even get you your thirty pieces of silver.

So, people on the right are calling for violence against the left? And this is different from any other day ending in Y because....?

And here I was thinking that all you needed to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun.

Guess Benny just doesn't know any good people.

So... The thing that they were already doing?

OK.

The book does offer the missing context, and is a truly fantastic piece of journalism. Mark Bowden went to immense effort to include the Somali perspectives on the events and the movie flattened out all of those details for the sake of creating some evocative villains.

I still think it's one of the best war movies ever made, but yes, it absolutely is propaganda and needs to be understood as such.
