oh is there a "needledrop" discourse happening? nice. here's my take: needledrops are bad. the 90s are over. if your movie needs a pop song to do its thing, you might just be a wandering hack. Either way it's too expensive. Scorsese, Tarantino and the Andersons ruined everything.

"So when politicians want to talk about all the destruction gangs cause, maybe they could go back a step and talk about all the destruction places like Kohitere caused, which bear a striking resemblance to the boot camps he is so proud of." newsroom.co.nz/2026/10/25/aa…

God it actually really fucking pisses me off that it looks like Labour might genuinely be throwing what should have been one of the easiest elections of all time.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar. Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.

So Elon Musk just injected $1 billion into Skydance (Paramount-Warner Bros.) I stand by this prediction, and it’s probably much worse than this. washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

I am sorry to be reductionist but so many of the negative Digger reviews seem to boil down to people never questioning their status as citizens of the most powerful empire in the history of the world and resenting the idea that they should just briefly think about it critically.
