I think Gen Urobuchi should get run over by a bus.... he ruined the magical girl genre he's responsible for men getting ideas and making those god awful edgy shows 😭😭

With the death of Jimmy Buffett, it's clear the old world is dying. Boomerism slipping quietly into the night. Maybe no one else better represented its aspirational vision. The end of the work day. The end of history. The possibility, just over the horizon, of a terrestrial paradise. A cheeseburger in paradise.

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

I was reading a reddit thread about lost media you'd like to see recovered and someone mentioned a 9/11 video titled "LOL SUPERMAN". "LOL SUPERMAN" is allegedly an amateur recording of one of the twin towers jumpers actually hitting the ground. it was purportedly a popular shock video in the early aughts that became increasingly difficult to find for reasons unknown. all that exists at this time is a nondescript screenshot of the buildup to the event.

Now, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this video does not exist. There is no way that footage from 9/11, let alone footage of someone dying on 9/11 that was fashioned into viral shock content, could ever go unarchived. Even the title "LOL SUPERMAN" implies a degree of well-recognized memeticism in saving and sharing the video. If this video was real there would have been an encyclopedia dramatica article about it where a low res gif of the person hitting the ground was stickied to the top of the page. There would be a gallery subsection where someone would have edited awesomeface over the face of the deceased. And a sped-up version of the gif with the caption "chocolate raaaaaaiiin". The opening of the article would be something like "LOL SUPERMAN" is a shock video of a twin towers jumper being pwned by gravity".

And yet, a Mandela effect seems to have occurred. Dozens to hundred of people insist that they have seen this video with no detail of the circumstances beyond having a vague recollection of it being online- and despite its virality, they never happen to be any one of the ones who actually saved and circulated it. I can't help but wonder if this type of amnesia is induced from a combination of the post 9/11 cultural landscape, where images of victims were weaved in to every aspect of reality, and the rise of aughts shock sites ripping videos of people dying from the context of their own lives to induce a similar kind of unease. The camcorder footage of people waving for help in the burning buildings have the same crunchy, digital consistency of camcorder footage you'd find on liveleak. At a certain point, it's all just snuff. I can imagine someone hearing about "LOL SUPERMAN" in 2009 after viewing 1guy1hammer on ebaumsworld and thinking "well, it's gotta exist, right?".

I think that Utah's use of the death penalty basically exists to satisfy the doctrine of blood atonement even if it is no longer practiced.

I want to understand the context of the Supreme Court decision that stopped executions in America for a time and why they were restarted.

And it seems opinions change when you have to watch what happens to another person and how it hurts you rather than empathy for the person dying in pain. I don't think that's "wrong" but coming from that angle is interesting.

I am interested in the stories of people involved in executions or being the executioner who changed their minds after having to participate.

#A lot of them seem to be very traumatized by seeing electrocutions firing squads and gas hamber deaths. #I think it's probably due to the fact that you can't pretend these are peaceful deaths. #Something something about the false history of the evolution of state administed capital punishment. #If you have to watch opinions change.

sometimes the whole Werner Herzog and/vs Klaus Kinski situation just hits me out of nowhere and mentally incapacitates me for a few minutes.

They really just let these things happen back in the day??????
