I wouldn’t mind one doing true short form, Vine-style, but watching somebody talk into their phone for 2-3 minutes? Hell no.

I could be misreading this, but isn’t Polanski here trying to draw the distinction, post-resolution, that the party is opposed to Zionism and not Judaism? Defending the resolution and the party as non-discriminatory in the face of the conflation of antizionism with antisemitism?

Backup camera, too.

I’ve never needed a built-in GPS since I can just use my phone.

The fucking “then why am I dead?” one kills me (figuratively!) every time.

Maybe the veuve Kirk will start an onlyfans or something. That would be a real turning point for JD Vance’s credit card.

Apparently lemmy.world rule 6 bans violent content which seems very unevenly enforced, especially with respect to newsworthy events. Also somebody upset about German law.

 

First post removed for posting a gif of the Kirk fountain. He was alive in this frame of the video.

How are you spending this, the first Kirkiversary, everyone?

“Based on who was promoting it.” WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

His wife was close with Epstein even after his conviction, so she must have known. Did he know, why was he fine with that friendship?

Asking around gave me this shortlist of suggestions:

  • Agustina Bazterrica (in Spanish)
  • Suzan Palumbo’s short fiction collection Skin Thief

Very funny to me that “libertarian” New Hampshire does the same.

Edit: Solved, it’s “Christine” from 1987. An episode of ScreenPlay.

I have a movie on the tip of my tongue but cannot remember what it is. It’s about a teen girl, I think it’s Scottish, and she walks around her town with a plastic bag selling heroin and helping her customers shoot up. The problem is if you search “teen heroin scotland” in any form you just get Trainspotting. Might have been a TV film originally? I don’t recall it being that long, possibly sub-90 minutes.

I have it in my head that the name is something suspiciously close to a more famous teen heroin movie: Christiane F. I feel like it’s something close to that, “Christina” or maybe even just “Christian” but I could be wrong.

In Massachusetts the fees for a marriage license are set by each town. It costs $50 to get married in Boston but only $15 in Wenham. Are there any cheaper cities or towns in the Commonwealth?
