I know I'm not the first to say it and I won't be the last, but it sucks that Cameron is gonna be doing Avatar movies til he croaks, because that universe is so bland and uninteresting. I just want a relatively small, incredibly tight narrative from him. Sprawling epic stories blow.

I'm beginning to see what Muhammad was on about re. Idolatry.

Also, how the heck did a half-Chaos magic star get to be Nazi iconography?

The Black Sun is used by fascist organizations, I believe specifically Greek ones.

The Chaos Magic star was used in early (maybe current) Games Workshop stuff and Warhammer.

If you ever saw those Alchemy jewelry adverts in RPG magazines, it was a thing not Nazi adjacent.

I thought the first one did so well at the box office because of the 3D gimmick. Didn't the sequel do well too? I have never countered anyone who ever cared about those movies.

I loving loved seeing Avatar in IMAX and saw it probably 3 times in theaters with different friends. The effect was so cool to me. Never had a desire to watch it on a home TV for the plot or whatever.

Eh, this is sort of the natural consequence of the friction between investing so much of yourself into an artist and finding out they’re kind of lovely. The correct response is to just let go and not be so hung up on celebrity, but this is sort of a step in coming to terms with it. It may not be healthy to write a celebrity a letter about their relationship but I guess it beats defending her shitheel boyfriend.

Oh god, this reminds me of the "open letter to Chris Evans" that went viral, where folks were mad when they found he'd been in a long-term relationship that wasn't public.

She's dating this dude; I had never heard of him before this "TAYLOR'S NEW BOYFRIEND" drama.

He doesn't seem necessarily like a full-on chud, just an edgelord...I think her fans are just experiencing parasocial whiplash, because her previous long-term fella was this English theater dude that none of her fans had ever heard of (and he mostly kept out of the spotlight).

The worst are Supernatural fans, who aren't content with Wincest but believe that Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are lovers irl, their irl wives are beards, and they constantly harass them. Jared's wife was an actress on the show! Even going so far as to get Jensen's wife kicked out of a convention by security by making up some poo poo about threats.

They had to write almost every female character off the show after a couple of appearances because of fan backlash. Lauren Cohan was supposed to be a recurring regular but the fans got jealous.

Robert Patrick figured that the t100 would not run while showing signs of fatigue because he is a robot so trained really hard to learn how to run and sprint without looking winded. The day came where they were to do the dirt bike chase in the parking garage and no one had seen what he had been prepping. First take he takes off and catches the bike without looking winded at all.

As an Icelander who is the direct descendant of like 6 Vikings who got stuck on an island getting all inbred with each other for 1000 years I have to say that those runes are part of my heritage and I am not pleased with nazis appropriating them.

got those happy feet

The Nazis didn't use the rune system the Vikings used; all their stuff is from a system made by a dipshit German occultist in the 1800s. Some of the runes are the same, but eg sigil was turned into sig.

Point is, if you see, like, a metal album cover with runes on it, they may be Nazis. But if it includes a sig, they are Nazis.

Actually adds them to your block list. There's a couple of other neat settings like muting instead of blocking and auto-blocking users with NFT avatars.
