The reduction of creativity, knowledge, and critical thinking to a giant meat grinder that outputs Homogenized Cognitive-Flavored Product on demand really does seem like the depressing apotheosis of this philosophy.

Regardless of the plan to drink coffee and *nothing else* for the time remaining... The guy who believes delegating all his critical thinking skills to machines also figures that spending 2 minutes on a 2 hour task leaves 58 spare minutes... I'm just saying, it checks out.

the John Wick universe is what you get if someone explained everything about Vampire: the Masquerade except that the characters are vampires

Once again the correct response to this is to immediately push for a huge amnesty bill. If farm, hotel, and restaurant workers are so vital to the country that even donald trump can admit it, they should all be getting green cards now

Imagine not only making the military put on a birthday parade for the Bone Spurs Billionaire who called our war dead and POWs "losers" and "suckers", but THEN you play "Fortunate Son" while they march past him in the heat and humidity...

A product of a cult of special operations that led to a basic misunderstanding of how US military power is anchored on logistics systems and a global network of bases that allow the US to move what it needs when it needs it to where it is needed America used to master the boring shit that wins wars

Today’s small victory: Had an audience member in one of my panels try to justify AI use for writing TTRPGs, but rather than debate them I just pointed and shouted ‘Everyone boo this man!’ Pretty much the whole audience joined in and, honestly, it resorted a little bit of my faith in humanity.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

When a little child REALLY REALLY wanted a theme birthday party, then turns out not to like the theme as much as they thought...

This is the way. This is actually the closest you get to consulting a mentat in the current era. The juice of Sapho actually just does what annoying people think vaccines can do.

I have such hope and trepidation in my heart. Can we still have a good parody movie in the year 2025 (or 2026, 27, whenever this actually comes out)? But there is only one way to know...

This has been my theory for a while. All he really knows how to do is grift, he still has that animal instinct, and the kids are using him for that.

it isn’t and they know it which is why 1) they are rushing to do 4+ years worth of harm before the midterms, fully expecting to lose Congress but just hoping the damage is irreversible by then; 2) they are doing mostly small-scale symbolic horrors to intimidate the public, due to limited capacity

This looks pretty awesome indeed. Not sure the gameplay is going to be to *my* taste... but the concept sure is. So I basically need those of you into the style of game to make this a big enough hit to get a spinoff turn based strategy heist game along the same lines...

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Ahhh, yes, the woke LAPD, famously known for coddling protestors and being so stingy in their use of force on civilians...
