Thanks for the info. Too bad Weinstein ever had anything to do with Hollywood….or humanity for that matter.

I could be wrong, but I’m thinking that Kevin Smith wouldn’t even mind having his films torrented.

Any idea what happened with Dogma? Obviously ruffled many feathers at the time it was released, but I’d hope it’s not in danger of becoming a lost film. Just to make sure, I better go torrent it today.

Which button do I press for infinite upvotes?

Your title alone deserves multiple upvotes. The meme is just the icing.

All good. Just thought the “doesn’t help” might mean you didn’t appreciate the boycott. Good work on your own boycott.

Boycotts and a general strike by US citizens are the only things that might get through to the White House.

I disagree. I think it’s helping punish the USA, which is exactly what it deserves for threatening not only much of the world, but also Canada directly. It seems like the perfect response that they boycott Las Vegas, and the entire country and its products.

Exactly. All these people online with their heads suddenly exploding like the US empire hasn’t been fucking shit up for many many decades. Trump is just the latest and most ridiculous manifestation of what the USA is at its core.

Like, ICE are a violent collection of belligerent bros who need to be kicked in the teeth, but does anyone remember post-9/11 when Arabs were disappeared, or the countless inhumanities done to black people for the entire country’s history? Buffalo extinction….anyone???

Let’s stop acting like the country was a fucking role model until the second Trump came on the scene. It’s just a Trail of Crocodile Tears to me.

The country has always been a monster, and even worse, will likely always be a monster long after the orange turd has been flushed.

This is glorious and I’m convinced!

The Proton CEO Andy Yen tweeted support for Trump’s Department of Justice pick last year and a shitstorm suddenly appeared.

It was a pretty tone-deaf tweet, but it most certainly doesn’t mean that Proton or its CEO support the Trump regime.

Below is an article analyzing the entire episode, and before that a direct quote from the article if you want to get the basic idea with out reading the entire thing…

“However, being disillusioned with one party on one issue doesn’t mean that all of a sudden Andy Yen changed all of his stances and that now he’s actually pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. All of the evidence gathered suggests the exact opposite.”

The Palestinians have suffered more than enough, and the US is entirely complicit in that suffering already.

Fuck that shit. We don’t want your garbage. That country has already shit on us enough for generations.

Absolutely, though even if there was more thorough media coverage I’m not sure I could keep up with it. A little while back I decided to focus more of my attention on Latam after deep diving the Mideast for years. Ask me about anything east of India and I’m even more clueless.

I knew a teacher who would have English students read Trump speeches in class just to see if they could find complete sentences.

Fascinating. I hadn’t thought about Yunus in years and hadn’t been following Bangladesh at all.

It’s the pilot of a sitcom in which a goofy husband and hard nosed wife blah blah zzzzzzzzzz……

Truth. Still, solidarity with Cuba. I hope to be there within the month.

That’s definitely a bonus for them

What what whaaaa??? I thought the US was a force for supreme goodness up until the millisecond that Trump became president.

This was most definitely the turning point. And just who were George Dubya, and Clinton, and Reagan, and Nixon, and goddamn Kissinger, and Robert McNamara, and the Dulles Brothers, and all the slave owners who founded the country?

A shining city upon a hill, manifest destiny, exceptionalism. Well-meaning promoters and protectors of democracy forever and always. Just what would the rest of the world do without you?

/s in case anyone actually needs it.

I have no idea why anyone left the high seas in the first place. The wind blows so gloriously strong out here, and the more the merrier, so come back to your past to build a future together.

All these shitty streaming companies need to be collapsed. I’d rather make my hard earned cash walk the plank than give any of it to them.

I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.

It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?
