A non-zero number of Democrats are Romney Republicans who think Trump's worst sin is rudeness, not, you know, the rampaging corruption, incompetence and authoritarian power grabs

Started replaying AC: Shadows again, and wish Ubisoft had stuck with it; I want AC: Odyssey's level of insane DLC where you go to heaven and stick daggers in the eyes of the gods.

I'm still trying to figure out how you try a head of state in front of a NYC jury for "intent to possess a machine gun."

I expected more from the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize.

with the caveat that Maduro really does suck shit and he's not exactly a sympathetic victim here, man, I really don't care for Operation Just Because / Marco Rubio's Consolation Prize For Sitting in the Cuck Chair all 2025.

well shit. those are marines.

I remember Iraq, I grew up on Iraq, I cannot believe we’re doing this again and this time they are more bloodthirsty, more incompetent, and less interested in even pretending to justify it more than twenty years later and somehow we went backwards

bombs going off in caracas right now "Eyewitnesses report smoke coming out of major military installations in Venezuela’s capital of Caracas, including La Carlota military airbase and the Fuerte Tiuna military base."

Do it faster, makes us stronger More than ever, hour after hour

this is so wonderously unhinged and the fact this person has probably 300x my net worth makes me somewhat sad steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-g...

The same government that accuses anyone criticizing it of anti-semitism also, this week, had a cabinet minister say that Gaza was "ours" and Israel was "letting them [Gazans] stay there as guests until a certain point."

I haven’t talked about this much here the past 2 weeks or so. My oldest cat has finally stopped having seizures. Unfortunately they left her blind. She’s learning how to walk again. For most of last week she was very unsteady - a bit better now. These holidays have sucked. My heart is raw.

i'm *dying*

curtis sliwa is a textbook example of a generally OK guy who should be nowhere near any position of responsibility

curtis yarvin proving once again he's actually a leninist

ah yes, the strategic mastermind who attacked his ally (the Soviet Union) in 1941 for purely racist reasons, thus making far less in loot than in trade, and leading directly to said former ally marching into berlin prompting him to kill himself. all serious historians agree, definitely genius

I love living in Texas, where the moment a holiday begins it immediately sounds like an artillery barrage

Happy New Year to them 🎊

It's been covered. The problem is that it isn't one person - it's a whole group of groyper/Nazis that have been hired as DHS's social media team, intentionally designed to mainstream fascist content. This is just one media outlet covering the story, from this summer. (gift link)

One more excuse to post this in 2025, right under the wire. I want to hear this in supermarkets this year.

This is fascist propaganda. It will be taught in schools 50 years from now.

for this new year's, why not watch the most russian movie ever made

biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.

as a dedicated final fantasy enjoyer who will argue with you for weeks on why quistis fails the bechdel test and who has spent uncounted hours farming materia to do stupid combat tricks, Man with the Machine Gun indeed is the highlight of ff8

kids today forgot about project cybersyn

As someone who lived through the 1990s and in fact thought they were overall pretty awesome, if your take is that the 1990s meant "nuclear family" and "small town America" and "no politics I didn't like" from a knockoff Disney kid's movie, man, i dunno, go watch a Prince video again or something

science has yet to produce a non-ham-based solution

Holy shit lmao

this is the political version of announcing you will "disruptively leverage synergy"

...without which, he would be living in a village in Belarus

it's because he's below 40% in polling, happy to help

If Taibbi's defamation theory is correct, Goldman could have sued Taibbi because Goldman Sachs is not literally a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity.

finally got a water filter/dispenser system for home and yes it sucks having to buy a $200 gadget to get non-crappy water but based on what i've been paying for bottled water it should pay for itself in a few months, and i won't feel bad about giving it to the cats

shot:

Oh dear, sinking a hostile naval vessel under the nazi flag as a war crime? Oh dear.

It's really cool and great that "men whose SO broke up with them over their gambling addiction" is such a large demographic that advertisers are targeting them

no, the left is boycotting Donald Trump. the left continues to think arts are pretty swell. The Trump consligieres don't know what the arts are because they've spent their entire lives sneering at a liberal arts education. also it makes Trump mad when people tell him no which is a plus on its own

Britain: oh crap are we really going to have to do a nuclear war plan against the Americans France: oh yay we get to dust off our nuclear war plans against the Americans

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

this is *hilarious*

Just to reinforce how utter a fantasy this was, the year before this was filmed Gorbachev ran for President of Russia - this was the 1990s so elections were still mostly fair. He got 0.5% of the vote. zero point five. Gorbachev was always far more popular abroad than at home.

he is functionally incapable of being a decent person and on some level i kind of have to respect his commitment to the bit "hmmm, the most holy day for christians, which i claim to be one of... i know, i'll write a post about it!"

I don't know about this pope but the last one washed their feet

Let me just summarize trump's recent posting tsunami for you: AND ANOTHER THING DON'T PUT IN THE PAPER THAT I STOPPED BEING FRIENDS WITH JEFFERY EPSTEIN. YOU ALL JUST DIDN'T GIVE HIM A CHANCE HE WAS A GREAT GUY HE WAS JUST COMPLICATED LIKE WHEN HE HAD SEX WITH KIDS. SO MYSTERIOUS.

my "i'm bombing boko haram on christmas day to defend christians" t-shirt asks some fundamental questions about my understanding of christianity which are answered by my shirt
