Don’t forget the original black and white German silent film Das Reboot, often mislabeled as Metropolis.

The notable historian Eddie Izzard made a compelling argument about how the British Empire employed the cunning use of flags to bring people under their rule.

The arts also tend to flourish with technological innovation making other tasks less time-consuming. More comics with this cool dragon could be made.

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

They tried to stick Obama and Hillary behind Biden’s head and threw in the Senator, John Fetterman, that refutes the Reeepub argument about Democrats being small, elitist, or weak.

It’s definitely got that Russian Whataboutism propaganda they love to throw around, during intentionally pointless debates, and making “Tuckfaces” while “just asking questions”. Then it’s also fuel for the average “EnlightenedCentrist” pretending they are above it all while helping the far right move goalposts.

I see it, too. Had an issue with one account with they/them pronouns in the username, in the profile is a Spotify of copy pasted (no organized favorites) albums by bands with famously transphobic audiences.
There is an entire subreddit called AsABlackMan that started from a white republican lobbyist forgetting to switch accounts on Twitter.
It’s absolutely worth checking the profile and history of a suspected troll. They have trouble maintaining the illusion or they need to signal to other trolls, either way there’s almost always clues.

One example:
There were some posts over on the 196 board targeting Taylor Swift as the enemy because “all billionaires are bad” as though it was a reason and not an excuse. One account was named essentially ’Aryan Ozymandias’ and after calling this out, I found and commented about his posts painting bill gates as another enemy, while never bringing up any pharmaceutical or oil tycoons. My comments were removed, but are still viewable in the mod log and I got replies for days after from the support troll accounts trying to keep the drama going. Seems obvious to me, but the mods took Aryan Ozymandias’ side and that’s a shame for the biggest group on a trans-positive server like Blahaj Lemmy.

Sounds about right. The Arymandias account was on a mission to tell the LGBTQ community to boycott anything related to her. This was genuinely only a few days before the wave of ai generated porn of her over on Elon’s unmoderated playground. Looks like the most valuable resource of this next century will be a functional ’bullshit’ filter.

I can relate. I’ve made a couple themed Yoko Kanno playlists back when I was still burning CDs.

Pretty much. Their Candela Obscura game has already been used to make thousands in charity for Doctors Without Borders and there’s more to come.

These are simple minds that believe “having to look at something they don’t like” is a great oppression, which is why they want to keep their civil war statues up.

The Reeepubs admitted on camera more than once that they don’t want to pass anything that Biden could take credit for. Trump cult owns the GQP.

“I hate when people force politics into stories and media. I wish they’d do more stuff like [insert IP with well-known and/or obvious political themes and references].”

Seemed obvious to me. There’s not that many different ways to quickly remove a toxic work environment. This one comes with large exec bonuses (lots of extra $ now, plus replacements start at base pay, win win!), so it gets the votes.

Instead of Leonid, perhaps Laeonid to include a reference to Fae elements? Plus, like, almost all the vowels used in one word. How cool is that?

Thanks for the context on ACM saving me a search. I would like to add that I wouldn’t characterize it as ‘mean’ but moreso trolling them for being unaware of Gelfond’s Constant.

The USPS has been abused by DeJoy, another trump appointee, who filled the fleet with more gas vehicles with less efficiency than previous models. That and removing public mail boxes for “reasons that totally didn’t have to do with mail-in voting helping Democrats win elections, promise.”

Cubans in Florida pushing for Trump was not on my bingo card, for sure.

I also remember seeing “general chat lobby” spammers switching from the boilerplate racism tropes to Portuguese and learning about Brazilian troll farms.

Same Chabad linked Putin and Trump in a Politico piece a while back.

Starting in 1999, Putin enlisted two of his closest confidants, the oligarchs Lev Leviev and Roman Abramovich, who would go on to become Chabad’s biggest patrons worldwide, to create the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia under the leadership of Chabad rabbi Berel Lazar, who would come to be known as “Putin’s rabbi.”

A few years later, Trump would seek out Russian projects and capital by joining forces with a partnership called Bayrock-Sapir, led by Soviet emigres Tevfik Arif, Felix Sater and Tamir Sapir—who maintain close ties to Chabad. The company’s ventures would lead to multiple lawsuits alleging fraud and a criminal investigation of a condo project in Manhattan.

Leia Organa, from Star Wars is a princess who shoots. If the gun nuts need more, she fires an AK-47 at the Blues Brothers.

I had a feeling I was wrong as soon as I sent it. Oh well. I really wanted to keep talking about how she makes out with one of the brothers in the sewer almost immediately afterwards. Or the flamethrower. So many Disney Princess moments.
