  • Wait… NYC doesn’t have those huge underground bins yet?

    IME those are pretty common in even smaller cities in Europe. Even the UK has them in plenty of cities. Frees up a lot of space and you don’t need to empty them as much.

    America really is weird sometimes. Imagine being rich as sin, buying a multi-million dollar property in NYC, then being ok with the neighbourhood around that property smelling like someone died after fucking a dumpster filled with fish, because you’re ideologically opposed to even a small tax hike.




  • TBF smoking a cigar while doing a horrific shit, would probably do much to neutralise the worst of the smell. Bit like how incense is used to cover bad smells too. Nicotine can also stimulate bowel movement. So kinda makes sense to smoke while taking a shit.

    Wonder who the musician was. I think this is The Garden studio, so that narrows it down. It’d be funny if it was Robert Smith of the Cure, they previously recorded there. Doesn’t fit, but could you imagine? LOL

    Simon Cowell isn’t famous for being a musician, so doesn’t fit the bill.

    I suppose Andy McCluskey from OMD might fit. He founded Atomic Kitten and co-wrote Whole Again. But I assume they recorded somewhere in the north not London. Also, IRC he was still recording OMD stuff when the Spice Girls were recording Wannabe.


  • He’s a malignant narcissist and the guardrails are gone. He doesn’t want them to win, if anything he wants them to fail. He’ll often undermine them, like that time Vance was scheduled to call him live on stage in Budapest, but Trump simply didn’t answer the phone.

    Like Hitler, there’s a non insignificant risk that he’ll burn America to the ground if he can’t stay in the Whitehouse.




  • Yeah. I know.

    Tannenberg (as in the battle of) is the really nazi version of Fraktur that people should absolutely avoid:

    Fascists ruin everything.

    I find the Vikings fascinating. Can’t wear anything with Viking Runes on it though, ruined by association.

    You just watched a Marvel movie and want to get a Mjolnir’s hammer t-shirt or hammer? Also popular with fascists.

    Do you like metal? Chances are that band shirt you’re wearing will get misidentified as a fascist t-shirt or that the band has become popular with fascists.

    You like a memento mori skull? Once again nazis. Got plenty of weird looks wearing a Vans t-shirt with skulls on it in Germany.

    You like the Punisher cartoons? Think the logo is cool and like how the comics are critical of the police. I’ve got bad news for you.

    Lonsdale used to a respected British sportswear manufacturer. But fascists found out you can put a jacket over it, and only NSDA is visible. Brand is often relegated to European discount shops now.

    You have Irish family and like Celtic stuff? Often ruined by association, especially something like a Celtic cross.

    Shit feet? Find combat boots work for you? Like a nice harrington or bomber jacket? Want to cut your hair short? Dr. Martens or anything skin culture related, was ruined by nazis for a long time, although luckily that’s largely a thing of the past. The wrong colour shoe laces will still raise an eyebrow though.

    You like the Wachowskis and the Matrix? Guess who co-opted the red pill metaphor?

    You like John Carpenter’s They Live because it’s a satire of Reagan era capitalism and commercialisation? Guess what, popular with anti-Semites.

    Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, gaming, hell not so long the fascists even tried to convince Trekkies that their favourite show, which featured an interracial kiss in the 60s and arguably a gay/trans plot in the 90s, had become too woke.

    Fucking tiresome. Cunts the lot of them.

    e: Sorry for the rant.



  • Honestly, I think the safest bet is to ignore anything he says, and notice what he does.

    He’s building a bunker under the Whitehouse and the Pentagon is drafting a new approach which places a greater focus on shorter-range tactical nuclear weapons, which they claim will give Trump a wider range of military options.

    Oops. Never mind. Probably best to pay attention to what he says if you don’t want to die of stress.





  • I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they’re still heavily associated with the Nazis.

    I think blackletter is a family of gothic fonts, with fraktur being one type of blackletter.

    Fraktur(aka Nazi font):

    Picture above:

    This being said, I’d argue the properly Nazi one is Tannenberg(which commemorates the German victory over Russia):

    IRC Tannenberg is also a form of Fraktur (which is a form of blackletter) and obviously they’re all Gothic scripts.

    IRC the nazis abandoned them at one point, because they’re not always legible.

    e: I’ve just had an interesting trip down wikipedia lane, so take all this with a pinch of salt.
