Hat tip to @liv for the article and their work over on @conservative, which still has me smiling.
Hat tip to @Firlefanz for the heads up on the article.
That’s some of the most intriguing imagery I’ve seen. I wasn’t familiar with the the Holy Mountain, so I ended up tracking down a copy.
Not for the faint of stomach… especially if you don’t like to watch exploding conquistador toads fighting Aztec iguanas, but damn that’s a wild ride. No country does surrealism like Mexico. Thanks for the rabbit hole!
Side note, the entire time I was watching this I was thinking - damn, this is really similar to Santa Sangre in tone and style - turns out it’s by the same director, Alejandro Jodorowsky.
I christened this guy Ratfucker Kennedy when he started his campaign, and today, beyond all doubt, he’s earned the right to bear that name.
In theory they can, but it’s very unlikely, as it requires a 2/3rds majority in both the Assembly and the Senate. One of the things I severely dislike about California politics is that the Governor’s veto power is near absolute in practice. On top of that this state has an entrenched political machine that has invested in Newsom since he ran for Mayor of San Francisco - and many in Sacramento owe their careers to him. There’s no realistic chance any of these vetoes get overridden.
Newsom, we get it - you want to run for president. But don’t fuck up my state to do it.
You’ve done ok in CA when you’ve kept your mouth shut and followed in Brown’s footsteps, but this latest bullshit display of throwing widely popular progressive initiatives (this one passed 66 to 9) under the bus is a slap in the face to all Californians, proving yet again that you’re an empty neo-liberal suit playing progressive to pander to the public.
California is not your billboard for a future presidential run. Do your damn job and stop using your veto pen to try to appeal to voters who aren’t even your constituents yet.
If someone continues to harass you after you’ve blocked them, it’s because they’re lonely and want your attention. I’ve found that offering comforting and condescending words while reverse spamming them with Eleanor Rigby seems to end the harassment quickly… especially when they realize that they can’t block you properly either.
You see, according to Cocteau’s plan I’m the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”.
Regardless of what any of the Klingons in this thread claim, I suggest following S.P.O.C.K.'s advice - never trust a Klingon.
