It is super odd to me that casually dressing well is treated by American millennials and Zoomers as a cringe larp. All of their heroes dress well. They WANT to look attractive. But the moment a guy does, expect to hear "holy larp".
Never seen such self-sabotaging generations.

“Our House” was released in November 1982 as the lead single from The Rise & Fall and became Madness' biggest international hit. It reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and, in 1983, became the band's biggest American success by reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also won Best Pop Song at the 1983 Ivor Novello Awards. The Rise & Fall was not released in the United States at the time, instead, “Our House” was included on the American compilation Madness in 1983, helping introduce the band to a much wider US audience.
The song grew out of Chas Smash's idea that the band members should write songs about their different family backgrounds. While the others did not pursue the idea, Smash turned his own experience of family life into a warm and nostalgic portrait of a busy working-class household.

I hate “JD” Vance in a way I can’t put into words. Ukrainian civilians are being bombed, yet “JD” is worried about Russian gas. Is it some fruitless attempt to lower prices before the midterms? Or simply a last-ditch attempt to rescue the decrepit country that “trads” and “post-liberals” love so much? Either way, he’s a Vatnik. I’d support AOC over him if it came to that. #NeverVance
I wonder what the analysis of the small, hook-nosed goblins who run the international banking system might be 🧐
That is an amazing story. He is a creative genius, no doubt about it. I’m actually not surprised about his beliefs as his works are a fascinating exploration of damnation. Pinhead is my favorite slasher villain bar none.
I’d be very interested to hear about your meeting Clive Barker. Hellraiser is my favorite horror franchise hands down
“Retvrn to Tradition.” - Random Washed Up Porn Actress
Alexis Texas and Nicki Benz say they MISS the pre only f@ns era of p0rn, claiming the 2014–2015 days were better than the industry today 😳
They explain that shoots back then usually had like 5–10 people on set, making the environment feel more intimate and like a family.
Alexis says her seniors used to tell her how easy she had it compared to their generation. Now, she’s become one of those veterans looking back at the industry and feeling the same way.
“The industry was simpler, way more fun, it was more intimate.”👀
It’s like she’s reverse simping. “Don’t touch him that way! He doesn’t like it and it’s making him uncomfortable!”

The message that you should be taking away from the HBO series, if you've truly honed your media literacy to a razor edge, is that its stupidity and ingratitude to the source material is a far better refutation of the original than its actual attempts at refutation.
Moore comes from a cohort of decrepit old leftists who genuinely believed in their day that they could create a better world, and that doing so justified whatever means they used. You're not meant to self-insert into Veidt, sure, but you are supposed to be a good little Nite Owl and do nothing while this imaginary revolutionary saves the stupid world from itself.
Intentionally or not, Lindelof depicted exactly the world that would come of this. Rorschach isn't believed in HBO's Watchmen, except by the right-wing fringe. Veidt won. Except... His "victory" achieved nothing. The world has sunk into a bitter malaise. The peace brought about by the "alien" attacks is held to, but society didn't improve in any way. Why was it written this way? Because the Cold War was long enough ago that even aging leftists like Lindelof forgot about it. Lofty causes like "prevent nuclear annihilation" are silly and out of date now, and leftists are rather embarrassed to have ever been associated with them. After all, we never had an alien invasion in real life, we never had superheroes, and yet nuclear war never happened. Capitalism won, the right wing won, America became absolute hegemon. All the things that Moore and his cohort said would usher in Doom did not. History just trundled on.
And all that's left, in the case of the Watchmen, is a collection of characters who compromised their morals and made peace with evil. For the sake of a cause we now know was totally unnecessary. Everyone Veidt killed died for nothing. There was never going to be a nuclear war. And of course there was only one character who never compromised himself. You were supposed to spite him for it, and yes, you were supposed to assume that his principles led to disaster, but now we know they didn't. Now we know he was just the only one who had a spine.
Under those conditions, you are going to have a very very hard time getting people to prefer a coward who killed millions for nothing to an "edgy neckbeard" who tried to save them.
