@Korgdisso To be fair, "Suspiria" is by far the better film. Argento's use of Dolby sound to enhance the mood makes the experience much better in a large theater than on a television screen with a bad sound system.

It's one of the scariest SOUNDING horror films ever made.

@Anastasiya For the same reason you assume that I am a kitten (or a Russian), I assume you are an ostrich (or an American). So there is more than a little difference between us.

I began this thread by making a joke, assuming you had a sense of humor.

My apologies for the mistake.

@Anastasiya I have no ability to do anything about war and its victims. Those decisions are made by the elite power brokers who move the pawns around the chessboard.

The war criminals sit in corporate boardrooms deciding how best to enrich themselves and their shareholders. They care nothing about us pawns.

If you believe exposing and complaining about THEIR crimes will change anything, then you are probably younger than I imagined.

@Anastasiya The United States probably should have been kicked out of the U.N. after Secretary of State Colin Powell repeated a bald-faced LIE to the Security Council in 2003 claiming to prove that Saddam Hussein had a huge chemical weapons factory built in the middle of the stinking desert to justify the occupation of Iraq.

@Anastasiya You must be quite young if you have no memories of the Mi Lai massacre in the 1960s, the Waco massacre in the 1990s, the MOVE bombing of an entire neighborhood in Philadelphia in the 1980s, the drone attacks on weddings in Afghanistan during the TWO DECADES the U.S. occupied that country, and the tens of thousands of people it helped murder in Yemen just in the past few years.

It's pretty easy to get the two confused.

An observation on how #Mastodon is growing 👀

Over the past month, multiple journalists from top outlets have contacted me related to content I’ve shared.

While this was not uncommon on #Twitter when I was active there, it’s relatively new for me in the #fediverse. I suspect this suggests professional news outlets are becoming more comfortable here & posts have increasing impact. Good.

@Anastasiya Until I clicked on the link, I was sure this article was going to be about the United States of America!
