Clair Obscur is a great game about grief and hope and family and self-determination but it’s also about getting the shit kicked out of you by an inexplicable army of mimes and that’s why it’s my goty

I mean to be totally frank dating someone who is openly Trumpist puts you at obvious, immediate risk of an abusive relationship in a way that wasn’t true of your average 90s Republican

Times like these, I am reminded of a line from Edmund Burke: I hope they get every disease and die shitting.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

MAHA using AI to write a report fabricating evidence and misrepresenting others is at least onbrand for the movement, which is based on fever dreams and eugenics vibes and a complete disavowal of objective reality.

Jay Bhattacharya said the same thing. Life was better for these guys when all they had to do was make podcasts saying how great everything would be if they were in charge.

RFK Jr and MAHA promised a return to “gold standard science.” Their report (likely AI generated) cites studies that don’t exist, and misrepresents existing ones. “Gold standard”? I’d fail an undergrad kid for this.
