When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.

I liked Robert Egger's other movies, The Witch and The Lighthouse. Fair warning though, they can get surreal and ambiguous, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea. (The Lighthouse moreso)

Honestly, this is one of the normal aspects of the jab. It induces a covid immune response, which you would expect it to.

The traditional story of the Pizza Margherita involves a chef making the pizza in the colors of the Italian flag to impress the Queen of Italy, Margherita. Hence why it's laid out in way that shows the red, white, and green.

In the middle of a polar vortex, no less! It would make a great Subway commercial.

Not OP, but the android app, Newpipe, is a good way to watch YouTube without actually going to the site. It's open source, blocks ads, let's you listen to videos in the background, subscribe to channels, and bypass age restrictions without a Google account. I've been using it for a while and aside from occasional minor bugs, it's been great.

You can find it for free on the F-Droid store, if you're interested.

That parts a little less normal. I can't honestly recall if it's been done before. I think it has, but I can't back it up.

It's because he'll be incapacitated, so she will temporarily have presidential power. It's pretty standard operating procedure.

Ah yes. Brian Jacques started out by writing stories to entertain the children at a school for the blind that he met through work.

I loved Brian Jacques' Redwall series as a kid. They're all classic "hero's journey" books starring anthropomorphic woodland creatures in a medieval setting. They have clear good and evil, but still show the consequences of war (namely death) on both sides. There's a consistent ethic of seeking peace, but fighting when necessary.

Don't forget that the pollsters oversample Democrats. Her real approval is likely significantly lower.

Wait till they see the bit with "Loretta" in The Life of Brian.

Douglas Murray warned about him in The Strange Death of Europe. Apparently, during his tenure as Mayor of London, he went to great lengths to encourage immigrants to come from the Middle East and Africa to settle there. I don't remember the specifics; it's been a while since I read it.

Comic book Spider-man has been dead ever since he sold his marriage to the Devil. Everything after that is just mutilating the corpse. I can't even be angry about this, because that would just be feeding the trolls are Marvel.

Yeah, the whole "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon from the early 2000s was clearly meant to be a tv show in the Toy Story universe. Also, if Buzz Lightyear is real, what about Emperor Zurg? Is he real too?

I just don't see the point of this movie, to be honest. If you want more Buzz Lightyear, I remember the show being reasonably good, and it's probably on Disney Plus.

Mostly. It spun off of the Irish pagan holiday of Samhain. Then it became All Hallows Eve (night before All Saints' Day)->Hallowe'en>Halloween. From what I understand, it has some presence some other part's of English-speaking world.

There's also a tradition in Jewish mysticism of King Solomon being a sorceror with a magic ring that he could use to control demons.

It's pure Hegelanism. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel taught that history had an inevitable direction of progress. Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Giovanni Gentile, Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler all built their philosophies on Hegel's work.

I really liked Robert Egger's movies, The Witch and The Lighthouse. I liked the historical aspect. Though, they can be very ambiguous and even surrealist in their presentation, if you're not into that.

Does anyone actually read new superhero comics anymore, or is it just public libraries keeping them in business?

Not finishing is the ultimate subversion.
