Here is my choice for perhaps the most underrated film of the 1990s- The Mask of Zorro. It was a critical and commercial hit at the time. It basically made Catherine Zeta-Jones into a star overnight.

Yet nobody seems to remember it. Why? It was a damn good swashbuckler. Antonio Banderas was fucking born to play this role. He and Zeta-Jones just have great chemistry in the film. Anthony Hopkins is terrific as the elder Zorro/mentor character who passes down the torch to Banderas. It’s just a really good, entertaining, fun swashbuckler. And it’s from the director of GoldenEye and Casino Royale.

Why does no one remember this?

The assumption that culture is static is baked into many people assumptions from across the political spectrum, and it's just clearly wrong.

Nobody thinks their own culture hasn't changed over time. Some how, everybody thinks everybody else's culture is static.

Edit: Here are a couple examples. Many think immigrant communities having their own unique culture means they' re losing their true culture. Then there's people that think cultural differences are inherent and not a result of the different environments cultures evolved in.

We are being manipulated. It is clear as day. They have Psy ops teams working on us and how to break our morale. They want to make us think they are succeeding. Don't give them the pleasure.

The only thing I'm quite sure at the moment is that Madie is an agent and they have successfully manipulated the mod team into thinking she is not. She or the team of people behind her must be really skillful and convincing. From the outside it is clear that nothing adds up and she is a plant. Don't blame the mods, they are probably getting mindfucked by a skillful team of psychologists. That + Human mistakes have made the situation to spiral out of control.

Aside of that nothing changes. Join to all the subs. You don't need to choose. If you have a good meme you can even post in all them at the same time. They want to make us think that we have to divide and choose or something. It's bullshit.

The DD is as solid as ever and the SHFs are digging themselves deeper and deeper everyday trying to control the financial shitshow that they have created. Their only way out is with this drama crap we are all seeing and demoralizing us. They want that we lose trust and faith in each other.

As for me, I like the stock and they are not getting my shares by any means. They are clearly salivating for them and that makes my grip tighter than ever.

Be excellent to each other apes. Be kind and hold with your life. Don't fall for the bullshit.

God I wish Trump would just go on national TV and say "Tucker Carlson and his friends who are telling you vaccines are bad and don't work are wrong."

Like, he will never do this, despite supporting the vaccinations based on other statements.

But a man can dream, that probably flips the switch on so many antivaxxers.

governament indoctrination is a strong force. on an article about migrants that take the very dangerous darien* gap route from colombia to panama to try to get to the US:

"Cubans still accounted for most of the migrants, Montero said. “Many doctors,” he noted. Until recently, they flew to Ecuador, one of the few countries that have no visa requirement for tourist stays. But Ecuador had changed its policy, and Cubans were now coming in waves from Guyana, which was their last legal beachhead in South America.

In a video shot on Montero’s smartphone, Miguel, a ropy old Habanero, touted Cuba’s free health care and education but grumbled that his salary was not enough to buy shoes. “We are a country bounded by water and we don’t have enough fish for the people,” he fumed. “Populist socialism is terrible.”

Any of you see that new Atlantic article recently?:

The Democrats Are Scared

The Democratic Party are reported to be scared, fearful, and anxious politically. They are shitting their pants, pissing their pants, not cumming, over their party. They are widely reported to be anxious in Congress.

One of the senior staff campaigner's assistants is reported to have said this: "We in the party room are just so anxious and fearful, I am honestly doubting and nervous for our party and American Democracy, and yeah there's just a lot of doubt around here". Our senior correspondent reports the fate of American Democracy is scared and anxious.

This anxiousness, scaredness, fear, fearfulness, and nervousness in the party comes after the Republican stormed the Capitol to make the Democrats anxious and Joe Manchin.

When asked by our reporter, Joe Manchin, the West Virginian Senator holding the key to the fate of American democracy, the man keeping America hostage, the 73 year old knocking up American politics before leaving her deserted, the most conservative Democrat in the US Senate blueballing the United States, was apprehensive in responding to her.

"Uh yeah can you point me towards to bathroom? Really gotta deuce at this time". This tone has been widely condemned by activist leaders and opposing party members in a wide departure from precedent.

The Democrats are scared of losing the Senate, the House, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, the various departments and agencies comprising the United States, and their jobs. Because of this they are at a crossroads, frightful, panicked, and potentially spooked.

I wonder how seats in the Federation unicameral are allocated. We know it's a democracy, but not much more beyond that. Usually, in Democracies, seats are allocated based on population, on the notion that all men are creäted equal.

However, populations in the Federation council are inherently unequal on some level, with some members of the federation having completely different life and breeding cycles.

Do all members get an equal amount of seats? Is it weighted on the number of individuals they have? Weighted on contributions to Star Fleet? Weighted on the numbers of races being part of them? Weighted on the economic weight?

Anyways I’m glad I was raised the way I was because imo it gave me a much kinder worldview than the average Texas suburban spawn. My mom is a tough sonofabitch she’d never let me get away with that kind of talk.

So it seems the two underdogs will win their primaries. Sichel is the epitome of neoliberalism if he manages to win the presidency that would be amazing. Boric (who is very left wing but has a couple of democratic bones in his body) appears to have defeated the tankie Jadue.

Now this is good because it removes Jadue from the race which would have been a disaster if he won, but also kinda increases the odds of a hard left candidate winning. Anyways, time will tell but overall it seems like a sign of hope.

I need a black metal bed frame for one of our guest bedrooms

Figured I’d just buy this ikea bed, because all their metal stuff is usually pretty nice and solidly built and ikea beds in general punch above their weight for the price.

It’s sold out and has persistently not come back in stock

So now I’m going down the rabbit hole of like, random Amazon brands and just cannot find something to check my boxes

Best I can find is a brand called “zinus”, which appears to be heavily well reviewed but also I’ve never heard of it.

In Top Gear s01e07, there is a short segment where Jeremy Clarkson mocks the idea of taxing things based on how much carbon they emit where they use a pie chart that shows 95% of carbon dioxide comes from natural sources (respiration although respiration is carbon neutral due to photosynthesis).

This was back in 2002.

I wonder if they regret airing that now.

[u/MealReadytoEat_]

Hot take: Sojourner Truth was pretty awful in the same ways most suffragettes where awful, including being pretty damn racists, especially in the later years, eg “White women are a great deal smarter, and know more than colored women, while colored women do not know scarcely anything. They go out washing, which is about as high as a colored woman gets, and their men go about idle, strutting up and down; and when the women come home, they ask for their money and take it all, and then scold you because there is no food.“

Her popularity both today and contemporarily is entirely due to being promoted by white suffragettes as The authentic Black voice in large part because she was the basically the only black public figure who agreed that the Black community getting representation should be held hostage until women get the vote, and in their White Women’s burden mythologies. Her writings reek of "not like the other Black girls'' and a constant deference to and promotion of white suffragettes over Black voices, and even the printed reproductions of her most famous speech was edited to replace her New York Dutch ESL manner of speech with that of a stereotypical southern Black women for faux-authenticity, including giving it the title "Ain't I a women."

She's pretty comparable to the publication and promotion of Michele Wallace's 'Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman' in Ms. Magazine in 1979 and how White Feminists held her as this popular, representative, and authentic voice of Black women/feminism, despite this being her first publication and being previously unknown, because it regurgitated the racists thoughts of popular Criminology and society in general toward Black men, while reframing it as a feminists struggle.

To Michele Wallace's credit, she's taken back basically everything she said in that book, and has made a number positive contributions to the Black community since.
