“you come up with a mean nickname to call this guy on TV?” “sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked”

Hi, I'm Rowan Kaiser. You might remember me from such threads as "Top 10 games of the century!" or "that Football Manager thing I don't get." But I also have a heart condition and need help from friends to pay rent Venmo: www.venmo.com/u/RowanKaiser Paypal: paypal.me/rowankaiser Cashapp: $arkaeyn

The "Vote Blue No Matter Who" bitches can vote Mamdani in November 😌

Hell yeah NYC

WOKE IS BACK 🚨 YOU HAVE A NEW PRONOUN DUE FRIDAY

When we run leftist candidates, those candidates win. Because leftist values ARE the values the people believe in. Respond to. Show up for. Whatever the donor class may tell you, and however hard they may fight us, remember that. These are the policies that WIN.

zohran is proof that to mobilize the left you have to have "dorkiest guy at the punk show" energy instead of "coolest guy at mock trial" energy

BREAKING: Mayor Richard Wilkins III of Sunnyvale has endorsed Andrew Cuomo, shortly before turning into a giant demonic snake and eating the high school principal

You know what's great about women? Everything.

it is a hot trend in modern filmmaking to shoot your movie like a videogame cutscenes from 2005

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

I have seen a couple of well-meaning people confusing the terms so just a PSA: Iranians aren’t Arabs. We’re all middle easterners and majority Muslim counties, but the distinction matters, if only to prevent further boiling down of the region into one big mass of interchangeable brown people

Average people everywhere are mostly the same, and they're mostly good. You should remain highly suspicious of anyone who disputes this, because they are provably wrong, and in my experience, trying to universalize their own shit behavior so they don't have to deal with the fact that they just suck.

It actually seems super weird (conceptually, I know our reality is batshit) to me that a former president would have any vested interest in endorsing a mayoral candidate at all!!!

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

yes i am sure

I only said the car would be "self driving." You assumed that means it doesn't hit people. That's on you

I am more invested in the NYC Mayor race than I have been in my own mayoral race and maybe that says something about me, but also fuck Cuomo get his ass Zohran

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Awful. But there's no bipartisan-savvy, cautiously centrist way out of this. The Republicans are unleashing full police state fascism, throwing the Constitution in the trash and not pretending otherwise. Appeals to their good nature have been rejected for YEARS. What now, Democrats?

I read this. fwiw, there's a huge difference between the historian at WLU using LLMs to analyze huge amounts of source materials just looking for keywords/ connections, AND the google engineer who pretends he's a historian by uploading sources to a LLM to tell him what to write and how to write it.

I’m never going to get over the tanks squeaking in complete silence

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

The assassination of members of the party who is not in power is the declaration of open season on the perceived electoral minority. It is fundamentally necessary to engage in all-out opposition party tactics. Things will not get better.

No force on Earth could have prepared me for this line to be said by a Gabumon.

Man I wish I could just be angry at people like a normal person but no, my reaction to conflict is an immediate and whole-body panic response. I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach. This was over like 5 (upsetting!) text messages.

Me, letting this moment radicalize me: Oof. Argh. Ugh. Egh. Unf. Augh

I want to post about weird video games and all this fucking fascism keeps happening

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.
