If this has been true anytime in the past 60 days you probably have a virus.
Those are legit and you should click on them and buy lots of art-themed gifts and scarves and things and maybe a couple of those Rodin reproductions that are practically a steal at $400 each.
I get ads for Amazon which is pretty funny considering I have never bought there and we have an anti-Amazon thread.
One time in the 1990s I was walking up Byres Rd in Glasgow during the daytime. A car drove past at normal speed with a young guy driving; looked cool as a cucumber just driving along at moderate speed. …except there were sparks constantly flying up from the road because he had no tyres at all; oh and there was also a police helicopter following him from above.
It was bizarre and I remember it mainly because of how calm and normal the guy looked & how slow and ordinary he was driving; like he was just going to get some milk and cornflakes on a slow day.
Joaquin is the Joker.
Bringing this over from the NFL thread because it’s great
Been scrolling through his Twitter and it is probably the best athlete Twitter I’ve ever seen
He needs to stick to politics.

“Tom Hanks hoping everyone forgot about ‘Bachelor Party’”
That image is the stuff of Islamic extremist propagandists wet dreams. Seriously somewhere out there the head of recruiting for ISIS had a huge orgasm when he saw that picture. “See we told you they were the modern reincarnation of the crusaders…” That picture is going to still be in heavy rotation with that crowd in 2050.
That five-fold cross is the coat of arms of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. I am not really sure it goes that well with the Trump administration message of supporting Israel…
Zero conflict unfortunately. Crazy evangelical Christians in this country have been some of the Israeli far rights biggest fundraisers for the last 2-3 decades. They think supporting a one state solution in Israel will hurry along the end times.
I am pretty sure Israel would not be happy with them showing up on their doorstep claiming that the land is actually theirs.
But they know that won’t happen and so do we… so why does it matter what the so called intention is? Let’s not pretend like these dimwits know the origins and true meanings of their symbols.
A whole bunch of them go completely nuts with the nazi symbols without actually knowing anything at all about German history besides far right propaganda. Totally re-purposing a symbol to mean whatever they want it to mean is super standard for these people.
This is the whole reason why holocaust denial is a thing. It’s so that they can appropriate the symbology, trigger absolutely everyone they don’t like, and then make up new definitions for things for their low level members.
Those black and white videos of dead bodies being bulldozed into mass graves in the immediate aftermath of the holocaust aren’t something the far right shows their rank and file ever… they also conveniently forget to show what happened to the human beings who followed that ideology off a cliff and got brutally killed at Stalingrad or starved to death in Soviet POW camps.
Absolutely no reason why the crusaders symbols would be interpreted by far right people as being for invading Israel, even though that’s what it originally stood for. For them it’s 100% about hating and triggering muslims. Not saying anti semitism isn’t alive and well with them, but they actually love the idea of Israel because it fits their world view of groups being homogeneous and separate. It’s the Jews that aren’t in Israel they spend effort hating.
Never thought Ricky Gervais was very funny, but that was good.
I know this isn’t exactly what you’re talking about, but it reminded me of the rise and fall of Tila Tequila
Ricky Gervais has always been the right kind of asshole IMO.
