The thing I love about Army of Darkness is the movie poster looks like this and you go, "Well, it cannot possibly deliver on the promise of this poster" AND THEN IT DOES

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

Whole lotta folks trying to do the “no true Scotsman” thing here, but… this is mainstream Christianity in this country. They’re the ones listening to fascist torture ASMR.

I'd go a lil' further. The main tech disruptions have been Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Deliveroo? Now nobody can make shows, musicians can't live from royalties, taxi drivers are debt laden, restaurants have to jack their prices and ghost kitchens mean you don't know where your food came from.

One of the most informative interactions I've had with regards to the attitudes of tech evangelists, be they into crypto, NFTs, generative AI, etc, was the time someone on Twitter got increasingly angry at me because I wasn't interested in VR and wouldn't agree that it was the "future of gaming!"

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

The creepy weirdos did not “win” the internet. They were handed it on a silver platter by corporations who own it.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

This is a bad bad take. Yes, praise people for doing the ethical thing. Rewarding virtue is pretty much the only sure way to get more of it

I gotta admit, seeing this level of open corruption goes a long way towards explaining why the Imperial stormtroopers' gear in Star Wars turned out to be completely useless the first time some stone-age teddy bears started throwing hands.

The circumstances are “we’re not sure if there is a Federal Trade Commission anymore and we’d like to try something”

I obviously don't know Bragg's family, but personally I'd feel insulted for my family member's name to be used like this. He's not being honored—they pulled his name out of a list of alternatives to intentionally associate him with a confederate traitor and slaver.

With apologies to Lady Emily my dash did a thing too funny to ignore

I feel like this is making the opposite point it thinks it is. Asking people to optimize their character at CC in a brand new game is legitimately insane.

The left endlessly from 1976 to now and has always been right. But you know, liberals still want to pretend the west wing is real so what are we gonna do?

People out here like “Kanye’s music always sucked.” I am begging you to deeply internalize that terrible people are capable of making profound and incredible things. If we cannot hold these conflicting truths, monsters will always be able to hide behind their talent

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.
