in honor of dream beating the boot licker allegations, just fyi u can be anti military and also acknowledge that the way the united states government treats veterans once they return home is absolutely fucking dogshit, leaving them with untreated ptsd and exposure to the most toxic chemicals known to man and doing fuck all about it. if your interested, jon stewart has a great episode about it on his new apple tv show that talks to veterans and their families about the absolute shit show that is trying to receive care from the va and trying to get the us government to admit they were knowingly putting veterans in harms way.

with the news of the people dying at a Travis Scott concert while he did essentially nothing, i felt it necessary to list as many examples as possible of how easy it is for a band to control its fans when shit is getting out of control

to all the fic writers out there who have made 2021 bearable and have given us all countless hours of happiness and escapism, thank you so much

Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed yesterday with a misfire from a prop gun by Alec Baldwin (who, yes, is dealing with the unbearable weight of having accidentally taken a life). I don't understand why real guns are still used as props. Brandon Lee, perhaps the most infamous death from a prop gun misfire, died in 1993. It should only take one time to make drastic changes.

No, I don't know anything about filmmaking and what the technicalities are but if the gun can shoot real bullets, it's not a prop. If the bullets can cause death, they're not props.

My minimal understanding is that the guns are real but the bullets are supposed to be blanks.

The director of the film, Joel Souza, was also injured but I believe he is expected to recover.

Out of any songs that could play. This is the song has to play on a Tuesday
