Overcoats are plentiful at thrift stores, you can easily find a massive high quality wool coat for like $100, likewise with sweaters. You only need one sweater; so long as it’s a good wool. You can even find fantastic new sweaters for like $150 that’ll keep you well warm. That’s like $250 and you’re set for a decade+ of warmth and fashion.
Nah, there’s a third gender: girl who is most fashionable in winter. Throw on a long overcoat that moves like a cape whilst walking, a massive drapey sweater, billowing pants with long wool underwear and knee-high wool socks, massive boots for stomping on your enemies, an insane scarf capable of lassoing a horse, make all this in black, you’ve got warmth and elegance.
You got a source for this? Absolutely hilarious if true. Every country in the West has a shortage of naval crew.
It’s good, not great. It’s 45 minutes too long, ends with an irrelevant subplot that retreads the themes we’ve already covered, and has a bunch of needless cuts. The beginning of the film treats famous physicists like Marvel superhero reveals and is unintentionally very funny. The 30 minutes before and after they detonate the Trinity atom bomb are some of the most harrowing scenes I’ve seen in a long time, and capture how horrible the creation of this monster was. It’s not a flattering portrait of Oppenheimer, and is resolutely anti-nuke by the end of the film. The fact that we don’t even see a Japanese person once is uh certainly a choice but overall the politics aren’t completely fucked, and the movie itself is well made (mostly).
That’s the neat part, it doesn’t! Empire is always enforced with military occupation, even if sometimes that military occupation takes the form of so-called “police forces.”
If you are buying stocks for “retirement” (who the fuck knows if that’ll pan out, eh) then no, don’t sell. Just buy a total stock market fund like VT and never think about it until you’re retired. If you need the money in the next 5 years, yes sell right now and don’t buy stocks; only do that with long time horizons for your money.
Kagi is fantastic, but you gotta pay for it.
Mitski was born Mitsuki Laycock on September 27, 1990, in Mie Prefecture, Japan to an American father and a Japanese mother. Her first language was Japanese. She moved frequently while growing up due to her father’s job at the United States Department of State, living in Turkey, China, Malaysia, the Czech Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo before settling in the United States.
What kind of “foreign service officer” (as he calls himself) spends almost a decade in Zaire? Mostly a meme that got way outta hand on Tumblr years ago, with people writing crazy fan fiction about how her dad’s a war criminal. But chances are he was CIA, since he was fairly senior in the State Department as a foreign service officer for like two or three decades. Not guaranteed CIA, and an analyst role at best, but very probably was working for the CIA in some capacity.
It’s between that and Caroline’s Desire, I Want to Turn Into You for me. Mitski, even though her dad was CIA, is such a wonderful artist.
Did you just call JPEGMafia “mid” and a “bigot”??? I will not have such slander against Peggy on this wholesome internet forum. “I Just Killed a Cop And Now I’m Horny,” which actually samples audio of a real life pig being shot, is iconic. Communist Slow Jams is a wonderful album. One of the covers of the album in this very list features our boy Kim Jong Un with the wettest President we’ve ever laid eyes on. Take back your slander, foul demon.
(also Lankum are a fantastic Irish folk group that make incredibly eerie and intoxicating songs, and they had all their gigs in Germany cancelled last month because they’re pro-Palestine)

Not only is Moby Dick of all things distinctly not a book that can be ruined in the slightest by being “spoiled,” and in fact is the kind of ending that is foreshadowed and almost said outright by the narrator throughout the book from the beginning on, but it’s such a shitty way to view media. Does nobody rewatch anything? Every time I reread one of my favorite books I get something else out of it. Repeated rewatches of my favorite films bring me such delight on each viewing. Pursuing this spoiler-obsessed plot lens by which all stories should be viewed is so exhausting and boring. Moby Dick is the kind of book that rewards rereads. It grows in your mind, it blooms like a flower. To stop reading it because you “know how it ends” is to rob yourself of one of the great books, perhaps the greatest USAmerican book of all time.
Imagine calling Hamas “liberals.” Could never be me. Luckily our opinions here are irrelevant, I support the decisions of those who do the fighting.
Yeah yeah I got that, but I want sources. I hunger for learning.
you wanna explain yourself partner, what have we got going on here
This is actually an elaborate Chainsaw Man cosplay; the man as the chair is Denji (note the blonde hair), the girl is one of the various classmates who pays Denji to be their chair. Source? Divine revelation.
Ozu is when everybody smiles all the time and the camera is very low to the ground
mmmmm
ohayo
vigorous nodding
Ozu is when you’re a widower and you have a female daughter that takes care of you but she’s old now and you have to give her away in marriage but you kind of don’t want to but you really should
