do you think the catholic church effectively utilized wokeness by funneling money into the colonization and rape of the americas after issuing the doctrine of discovery which effectively legalized the subjugation of indigenous peoples?

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

I watched the pilot episode of black sails in like... 2021-2022? and hated it SO much that I dropped the show on the spot. it felt so painfully aimed to straight guys(tm)

but then I decided to give it a second chance in the big 2026 and it hit me like a truck. you're telling me that the show I feared was gonna be incredibly sexist ended up having queer themes and female rage??? that the wlw relationships are not shallow fanservice for straight guys(tm) but they have actual depth???? that the main character is a gay/bi (?) man and he's angry bc the british empire took his love from him????

god I wish I could erase my memory and experience it all over again. also I find it quite unfair how people think that black sails is "game of thrones but with pirates" when black sails succeded in doing everything what game of thrones got wrong

#but see that is the beauty of Black Sails#it starts out as a very typical masculinr adventure show with pirates and scantily clad women#its the shallow version of pirates and their stories that got written down for sensationalism and misdirection#then as you go deeper into the show it starts breaking that down#except its cyclical#so it ends the same way it began--knowing that all they will become is the story you expected to find when it started (via @aisalynn)

Some of my favorite quotes from Artemis ii so far:

"Copy. Moon joy."

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working."

"Houston, if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary for tomorrow that will help out my vocabulary a little bit, that would be great. Thank you."

“If you’ve ever seen the top of the spotlight of the top of the Luxor at night in Vegas, this looks like what it wants to be when it grows up.”

"To all of you down there on Earth... we love you, from the moon."

"We just went sci fi."

"It is so great to see Earth again. To Asia, Africa, and Oceania: we are looking back at you. We hear you can look up and see the moon right now. We see you too."

"We will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other."

“It’s a bright spot on the moon, and we would like to call it Carroll.”

hamlet’s “i did love you once” and ophelia’s “indeed, my lord, you did make me believe so” is such an underrated gut punch. it’s betrayal it’s heartbreak it’s vulnerability it’s so over. truly no one is doing it like shakespeare

“so much of hamlet is love in the past tense” HELLO @xx-j4nu5-c4t5-xx
