So a rivalry of /pol/ vs. Shia LeBouef is gonna be hilarious from the concept alone.

But the fact that /pol/ can go from analysis to infiltration operations to counting coup anywhere in the Anglosphere within 48 hours… and remember those times they were comparing subtle background details with satellite maps to target airstrikes in Syria? Plus their workaday schtick IS “conducting propaganda and provocation campaigns to increase unrest, influence elections, and congeal scattered resentments into an insurrectionary force”.

I mean, insert banepost here, but we should acknowledge they’re organically developing as a 3-letter intelligence agency.

Whenever I’m tempted to mourn the lost glory of war, propeller dogfights the last hurrah, I remind myself how the premodern version was closer to “march for weeks, then shit yourself to death” or at the best “6 weeks’ hike with juggalos”

lower-middle-aged, tho I grew up in a pre-Internet culture that was older still.

Digital Love was the theme song to a crush I had summer after the first year of college, but tbh I don’t like the “warmer” recent stuff and I have a vague grudge over how they ruined a decent live music scene in LA by playing that one Coachella and inspiring everyone to be DJs

so I made it to like 20 minutes ago thinking it was Friday and the bar was just slow because it was raining

Cristian Marianciuc is an artist with an obsession for creating origami cranes. As a New Year’s resolution for 2015, the artist had taken up an art project to devise a unique origami crane every day.

Had the first creepy sleep paralysis experience I can remember waking up. Started out as one of those crappy fitful logistics dreams, this one about coastal shipping, which is kinda the exact opposite - dreaming but aware of bodily control in bed.

But then I maybe fell into a deeper narrative but came out to a sense there was some presence invading my room and tried to yell but couldn’t and my vision started to come in of my room only somehow black-white polarized except a towel hanging on the back of the door was a glowing red demon head?

And interestingly that didn’t “fade” to reality and functionality, it held like that for a bit then “cut out” for me to wake up cleanly like 3 seconds later.

I mean I guess good thing I had idioms to classify that by, after that I was like “oh, huh, sleep paralysis” and even in the not-screaming part I was just like “oh, my body’s just still in sleep lock-out mode, better get it together to yell at this demon”

it’s been brought to my attention that not everyone has seen the JibJab from the 2004 election cycle and i feel like that needs to be corrected bc it’s an important piece of political history

you’re welcome

a relic from an older era. Oh my God

Ohhh man I remember watching these, especially the 2005 one

my god, jib jab was awful

Oh yeah, reclusively falling back from human contact for a decade to get high and obsessively path the future until it clicks was how Paul Atreides rolled too, forgot about that
