Commented about this recently somewhere else, so it’s what came to mind first - ‘Mother’ by Darren Aronofsky. I came away from watching it really excited about interpretations involving artists, egos, glorified relationships with their ‘muse’ that drains that partner completely until they have nothing more to give and are discarded, shattered, while the artist is adored etc.

Aronofsky himself describes it with a fixed interpretation of (paraphrasing) ‘she represents mother earth, and we are taking from her and destroying her’. Which in my opinion is just kinda boring. I can see it fitting, but it just makes the whole movie much less interesting to me

Perfect, my cat loves his new flappy paper cat toy with a fun clacky whirly noise button under it

I can confirm that it shows up as both for me. I’m not in US or Mexico, and it shows as “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. The info I saw was that it shows as GoA in the US, GoM in Mexico, and both everywhere else. At least 2 of those are true, I’m guessing all 3 are

Another article might have included a photo or photos, but the ‘image’ being referred to is the image presented by a person or situation. Which is described. It’s not about one particular photo

It’s a joke, implying that ‘child’s presence’ referred to his own presence, or Trump’s.

No one (except for a very few nut jobs) is blaming Jews for the genocide that is happening, they’re blaming the state of Israel. The current government and individual people making the decisions. Disagreeing with apartheid Israel does not equal ‘blaming jews’.

Also, look into Christian Zionism. There are a lot of literal nazis and other antisemites who are thrilled about backing Israel right now, because they think that this is all part of a prophecy that brings about the end times or something… And this prophecy does not end well for Jews. So no, supporting Israel does not necessarily mean someone isn’t antisemetic right now either.

Nope. He does the salute twice before saying the ‘my heart goes out to you’ plausible deniability attempt. Which makes it much less likely to be just a simple gesture, and also makes it very very clear that the crown is cheering the salute, not the line which comes later.

I know you are being technically accurate about gender identity, but we’re not talking about you, and the example here is someone posting “look at that tranny”. They are absolutely thinking about genitals.

Don’t delete. There is no hive. Let the opinions and discussion happen, read them all, see if anything sways you. If not that’s fine, if it does that’s fine too. You asked, hear the answers

I always wait and check first. Like that show 1899, looked pretty damn great but I’m not watching something about anything mysterious that got cancelled

yyyyyyep. And I can never figure out if I’m depressed or just sad about the state of things for valid reasons.

I’m not sure that you do. Pretending to not understand something you then say that you did understand is not sarcasm. It’s more like feigned ignorance. And while I guess that can be used to point out that something is unclear, in this case the thing was clear, so the ‘joke’ didn’t really land

If you were joking, then you figured out what they meant. If you figured out what they meant, then everyone else can too. Their wording was fine and clear within the surrounding context

“swallow the completion” really sounds like a fellatio joke…

It’s beautiful
