somewhere neil druckmann is feeding outbound prompts into the most powerful video generating model he can find to make a generated Roger Ebert tell him that he finally made a video game that's art

I've actually become optimistic on this. I thought the current era's politics on immigration were rooted in a specific design of a future world where climate change makes refugee crises like we can't imagine coupled with unfathomable cruelty. We're in luck; it's just the cruelty. No design apparent.

Attacking (NOT OFFERING TO WORK WITH) Republicans on immigration is morally good, it's good politics bc they're clearly shitting the bed, and it's constructive because you can provide a VISION of what a different approach would look like that isn't City 17 across the entire border

I used to want to leave this world surrounded by lived ones reflecting on a life well lived, Oblivion made me want to expire while scribing a scroll with something like "and our expedition has so far seen no sign of the cave troll" and also I have a bucket on my head when I die

right! you bought the ticket to the roller coaster, you queued up, the chicken exit was ten minutes of standing in line ago. nothing brought "rational Republicans" here other than their own two feet. They're the beastie boys uncomfortable with the frat boys at concerts hollering slurs

most commonly this would be with proof of flat earth, or proof that "aliens" are actually literal demons from literal hell serving the literal devil. when you hear Republicans talk about UAPs in vague terms about what they could be, they mean demons

"... 3 of the 10 Marines present immediately got bored around the word 'ultimate' and wandered off. 5 more started arguing about their own wallets, accused each other of having stolen them, and started brawling. The last two had not actually been invited and demanded lunch after the introductions."

it's honestly the only real gripe with the show, I'm guessing it's a plot element in the books too but it just feels like bond girl level stuff

how likely is it that the actual goal and effect is to make everybody miserable and retire/quit except like crusader mindset freaks who think god put them in the army to purge non-believers?

the state of the American police at scale might be the bleakest thing I can think about honestly, maybe more than climate, you can't exactly science your way out of the entire nation being subject to basically brownshirts-as-a-service-franchises

I'm a discovery defender even though I think it's the worst series after Enterprise but one of its greatest crimes was trying to give section 31 a redemption arc

it's a 40 year project by the right that's coincided with the business model for most media collapsing (advertising)

my paranoid belief is Spotify is playing games with royalties; basically, they have non public agreements on compensation and favor inserted songs with lower costs to Spotify vs. the specific songs users pick which might be higher. I don't have any direct knowledge to back it up but it makes sense

just thought of how there's a steel drum player somewhere in their 50s or 60s for whom the music in the background of the ggw commercials was the most listened to things they ever performed. a little bleak thinking about it

what this fits imo is a goal to hit numbers. cops writing tickets mentality

basically they are! one of those not a bug, a feature things of the current right wing electorate is you have swaths of highly engaged heavily armed constituents of questionable stability. romney (coward) was candid about this as a reason he retired

Genuinely feels like that period in American TV where for like 5-10 years they chased the success of LOST with never ending mystery dramas with huge casts and stories that dropped threads like they were carrying an armful of fabric remnants. The isekai market needs a correction
