  1. Rendezvous with Rama surprised me, I never really expected that IP to hit the big screen any time soon. I read some of those books as a kid.
  2. These are his known upcoming projects, not necessarily in order after Dune: Messiah: Dune: Messiah Nuclear War: A Scenario Bond 26 Cleopatra Rendezvous with Rama
  3. My position is basically even if all of it, every gram of HEU is atomized and all 3 of those sites are reduced to a fine powder (and there is still a lot of uncertainty here), it still is just effectively kicking the can down the road. I think @atomheartbevo's assessment of what they will do is accurate, and I think in the long run it would benefit everyone to reinstate the terms of the JCPOA and put in place even stricter enforcement methods if deemed necessary. Trump's language indicates that he wants to do something like that, which pisses me off even more that he tore the original deal up in the first place.
  4. I think that's a fair assessment.
  5. I guess if this is your position then yeah, that makes sense. I really like the OG Blade Runner but it's not up there nearly that high for me.
  6. He definitely did, no question.
  7. All fair and good points.
  8. Getting housing prices under control in one of the most fucked up real estate markets in the world: Silly and fantastical. - Bozo Casanova, Maestro
  9. To get this thread back on track a bit, it looks like Israel has been bombing Lebanon this morning: 1 killed and 11 wounded in intense Israeli strikes on south Lebanon - ABC News
  10. Ok, you're not wrong, but this is not the first time he's done exactly this and been chastised for it. He was doing it deliberately in order to provoke a reaction. Context. Context. Context. And again, the main point of contention was that he was spouting EU Great Replacement Theory bullshit (which is blatant, naked racism) alongside the use of that pejorative. I will say it again, you lack the proper context. You're literally the guy Walter was ranting about in the Big Lebowski, wandering into a conversation you have no frame of reference for in order to wag your finger and play hall monitor.
  11. No one is disagreeing with you. The issue is how the term was used, not that it was used. Are you completely incapable of understanding context?
  12. No, I don't think he was comparing it to the Nazi occupation of France, he was more than likely (intentionally or not) parroting the Great Replacement talking points that EU far right politicians like Marine Le Pen have been barking about with regard to Muslims "invading" or "taking over" certain parts of EU countries. If that's the case, it's actually far more racist and ridiculous than you initially thought, even. It also lays completely bare how deep his internalized racism against Arabs/Muslims really goes. It was obvious if you paid any attention at all to his posting since Oct. 7, but yikes dude.
  13. You think that was why people were calling him a racist? Go back to the Elon thread, dude, you're out of your element.
  14. It's the only Marvel show I haven't watched. I watched the first 3 episodes, I enjoyed them but it still feels too Disney and "safe".
  15. I fucking told his stupid ass after the election that they'd come for his meth-addled Persian ass.
  16. The GHF was set up to undermine UN relief efforts in Gaza and it is very likely complicit in these war crimes, as it has been loudly denying that any Palestinians have been fired on at its aid sites despite all the evidence to the contrary. In addition to that, the reports of ISIS-linked gangs/militias that are looting outside aid convoys and being directly armed and protected by the IDF have been ramping up. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-06-12/ty-article-magazine/.premium/palestinians-see-isis-linked-gaza-militia-as-an-israeli-tool-to-destabilize-from-within/00000197-64d8-d34b-ad97-f4f97f2b0000
  17. Think he's more likely referring to all the dumb shit Marine Le Pen has said about Islamic "invaders" or whatever the fuck in Paris. Either one is incredibly dumb.
  18. I hope some day he appreciates the irony of doubling down on using a classic racial/ethnic slur as a pejorative to describe people who refuse to share his incendiary, racist views on Arabs/Muslims. It is depressing how some people just cannot help themselves but view Middle Eastern cultures and peoples in the most negatively polarized, uncharitable way possible in any given situation, but that's how we are conditioned in the Western world, sadly.
  19. Someone said it in the other thread but 100% he's just gonna run back the JCPOA and take credit.
  20. Can we finally ban this openly racist piece of shit and move on now that he's stopped [badly] trying to hide it?
  21. Watched this earlier, personally don't give a shit if they made a deal or not, it's not like it affects anyone else in the tourney.
  22. I think you needn't bother.
