Telling myself that this is metaphorical and not some boomer taken in by the AI images of the Hollywood sign burning to keep myself from going on an unhinged rant about the exact location of Hollywood, the Hollywood sign, and the fires.

The 56-year-old was suspended by the club in 2021 for performing a fascist salute at the end of a match against Inter Milan.

Bernabe was filmed making the salute and chanting "duce, duce", which translates as "leader, leader" and is commonly associated with former fascist Italian leader Benito Mussolini.

"I did it and I don't regret it because I admire Mussolini, he did great things for Italy as Franco did for Spain," Bernabe said in 2021.

They fire him for showing his dick online and not for being openly fascist at one of the games they invited him to be at in an official capacity... oh, football culture.

The screencap in the article looks pretty dark to me? Is there something that needs to be dark that the example pic doesn't show? Asking as someone that turns everything to dark mode.

I didn’t think it was ‘about’ anything other than how campy TOS was (which would surely be familiar to most people in 1991), but if anyone has other reads I’m interested.

Always check what the manual says to do. If you don’t have it it’s almost certainly uploaded somewhere.

I’d be worried about my cat chipping a tooth again, but she’s also a bit of a dumbass.

Me spending all last week and my foreseeable future watching the AQI like a hawk and being paranoid about wildfire ash, but not close enough to any fires to be at risk of evacuation:

You can’t read text and view a person’s expression at the same time, but you can watch signing and see the expression (sometimes because it’s part of the sign itself).

For some Deaf people it’s also an issue that they aren’t as fluent in written English as they are in American Sign Language. Text isn’t going to help them if they can’t figure out what it means, or it’s going by too fast to comprehend.

The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) didn’t tank their career for that kind of slander.

Pick up some Tajín at the grocery store and sprinkle it on your watermelon, if you want even more flavor!

Honestly “modern healthcare” was pushing it for a lot of them even when they were open, due to decades of cuts and lack of investment. The (now closed) hospital that was in the rural community I grew up in had a reputation for being a place you went if you had no other choice, or it was a very minor emergency even they couldn’t fuck up. My parents floored it to the nearest city (40 minute drive) every time my mom went into labor, despite the local hospital being maybe 15 minutes away max if you drove the speed limit.
