Don't be an unremarkable asshole haunting the comments of every news piece about some established creative, scientist, athlete, etc. so you can jeer at their perceived failures. Instead, trying doing something yourself. You might like it.

This week forced this musing: The Rapture is just the Snap but we won't miss them...

Me pretty much every time someone posts about being surprised by something MAGA and Trump is doing anymore...

So is the goal for Chatgtp is that every iteration it sounds like a slighty older C student giving an completely mid book report? "Now it sounds like a 5th grader...progress!"

Oh come on, do we really believe Elon, Bannon, and Thiel are the sorts to fly to some island to make some nefarious deals that they seal with ritualized pedoph... you know what, nevermind. I hear it now. Carry on.

So we're back to grudge tariffs again. Those files must be just terrible.

I'm hearing that Disney is telling Sinclair if they don't air Kimmel they don't get to air other stuff in the ABC affiliate packages like say, Monday Night Football. If true? That is how you play hardball with a shitty affiliate trying to bully you.

So apparently Trump is mad at IKEA now and pines for the days when you paid several months rent for an okay couch or you sat on the floor like the dirty peasants you are until some better tossed out furniture because it clashed with their new shoes. Sounds just swell.

Historically speaking, those generals and other high ranking military officers shouldn't accept an unexpected invite by an administration obsessed with "betrayal" that comes in the form of doing your job without stopping every five minutes to genuflect to the top morons.

EXPLORE. FIGHT. DIE FOR HUMANITY || UNTAMED WORLDS FIRST LOOK! Tonight, we dive into Untamed Worlds from @ospreygames.bsky.social - a military sci-fi RPG where you play as uplifted animals engineered to explore, fight, and die for humanity’s ambitions among the stars. #monkeyswithfire #ospreygames

This really brings that necessary "doddering old professor who doesn't understand the danger everyone is in" energy to things, doesn't it?

These ICE ads aimed at pushing the worst cops to jump ship and join them are awful. Cities should publish the names of any officer that bespoils their oaths signing up for that gang of fascists. And look into removing any benefits they have acquired through their current service.

You know, I don't think I've ever looked at content from someone whose main goal was clearly to build themselves into some kind of influencer and thought "this is superb". Good? Sometimes. Okay? A fair amount. Great or even really good? Nope. Almost like quality isn't a prime concern.

ICE agents maced a local pastor at a protest here near Chicago. A pastor. But every one of these assholes will swear they're the one's with God on their side and doing God's work. Probably while invoking a dead fascist who would have said anything to excuse such things.

Just so I'm clear, we boycotted ABC and such because of Kimmel and now he's back and a lot of folks are still screaming they're never going back which means they've by default joined the MAGA folks screaming to boycott because Kimmel is back. Coolsies.

Ah yes, a sniper fired "indiscriminately" at an ICE building, only managed to hit and kill detainees, but in case that's odd some magically we have bullet casings labeled "Anti-ICE" to show the totally meant to kill ICE agents instead. And all you need to do to believe this is trust Noem's DHS...

ICE is apparently yanking ladders out from under documented roofing workers so they can harass and detain them now. There's nothing even neutral I can say about what I think should happen to those agents. Roofing is already incredibly dangerous without those chucklefucks.

Can we kill the Apple worship now? No more sneering at those with a different phone, acting like those Mac v. PC ads weren't snarky as shit, etc?

UN officials should legit just start roasting Trump like Obama did at that press dinner. Just play him. Get everyone in the world laughing at him. Of course there's a risk he starts a world war over it. But still...

I mean that's basically how that went.

"Hey, could you do like fucking worst speech to the UN? Like just a steaming pile of ignorance, undeserved ego, and addled ranting? I mean something that just makes us all pine for the days of Idi Amin and Gaddaffi...because while they sucked, you just completely fucking sucked. Can you do that?

Every ICE member and politician involved should be dragged before Congress and if they can't tell us where the hell those prisoners they "lost" from that Alligator Concentration Camp? They should be charged with anything and everything that remotely sticks. Kidnapping, human trafficking, etc

Trump should totally invade a land known as The Graveyard of Empires over a spat that he engineered. That should go great...

We have one more blog from Untamed Worlds author @jackno.bsky.social! Get the lowdown on the anthro sci-fi RPG's setting – and have some frequent questions about the game answered: https://bit.ly/4mmEUc8 // AVAILABLE NOW // https://bit.ly/47rPU4c

Let's have some fun. Post your favorite classic weird stories anthology episode (Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Night Gallery, etc) Lots of choices but for me it's The Hunt from the Twilight Zone.

Wait, supposedly the Rapture is tomorrow? Okay, I'll ask... what crappy bullshit evangelical fanfic writer pulled this one out of his butt?

This White House UFC thing is a great example of why I get so salty when smarky wrestling fans act like Vince Mcmahon is some active threat while ignoring Dana White, who is doing stuff like this all the time. I mean fuck Vince, but he's slowly wasting away and not actively hanging with Trump.

There it is!

So what did acetaminophen manufacturers do to displease the idiot brigade?

Note: I don't agree with how they did it and they had to be pushed into it but Disney/ABC putting Kimmel back now feels a bit like them testing the waters with "Okay you MAGA folks had your little tantrum and got your way long enough to do a super classy fireworks and threats thing. That's it."

I can't help but feel that historically to right this minute a lot of efforts to erase or hide things because "how can I explain this to my kids?" is just people weirdly admitting they don't want to parent their own kids and expecting that to be everyone else's problem.

Saw some internet tough guy try to flex on "libs" that won't get to watch "woke Aztec Batman" because they "cancelled Disney Plus for some woke comedian I can't remember." Ah yes, nothing says "alpha" like being too ignorant to know facts known to everyone from 12 year olds to Wall Streeters.

Lauren got me the DC Finest The Spectre collection and I'd forgotten how completely insane this is. I love it but it's so nuts. In fact the old Gardner Fox stuff might be crazier than the later stuff.

I think the moratoriums on jokes end when your spiritual "daddy" jokes with a wife beating slapfight promoter and ketamine addicted Nazi while his stooges eulogize you after they come out to pyro at your memorial. That's just science.

Make it all about you and make sure you laugh and joke through the eulogies and make sure everyone has plenty of pyro. Then maybe overload Grindr. I mean if you want to treat the Kirk thing with exactly the same respect and gravity Trump and MAGA did...

Sinclair and Nextstar have so effectively and effortlessly shifted accountability for this Kimmel thing to just Disney and some celebs that work with them that intelligence communities should study it.

How dare AOC and others vote against honoring Charlie Kirk... without being super fucking mean about it. At this stage if it were me I'd be really mean about it. My "no" vote would come with a tight 5 and graphs about how much I'd have to be motivated to give a single fuck the guy's dead.

Ah yes the "Look even if I drunkenly snapchat launch codes or out covert operatives because I'm mad some lady at the CIA told me to stop groping her? You can't report it! You have to be better at my job than me, because I'm just a fucking rapey drunk embarassment!" clause...

"Lol, James Gunn is so stupid... the alien dog just looks like a dog!" That's how insidious Gunn is. He invented time travel just to go back to 1955 to make Krypto look like a white dog with a red cape. The fiend! Snyderbros need to put the glue down and go outside or something.

The irony of a Washington Post writer complaining others aren't fighting corruption and oppression enough or the right way is so massive its developed its own gravity and is now affecting the tides.

When cancelling services or orders in protest and they ask why? Be specific. It might feel really good to shout "because fascists can fuck off!" But when reports are compiled for higher ups? Specific reasons will more reliably move up the chain.

I'm shocked a lady who was famous in her circles for being a domineering shitty abusive boss to her assistants and interns and who regularly smugly mocked calls for things like student loan forgiveness is going to suck up to the right. Wait, no... what's the opposite of shocked?

Not gonna lie. I kinda miss the days when we were more about listening to unearned deep thoughts and commentary by celebs who at least made movies and played sporting events instead of a bunch of influencers, lazy comedians turned podcasters, and wannabe authoritarians and their shitty families.

Apparently this new phone by the guy who sucks up to Trump constantly so he can keep making trendy tech without tariffs no matter how many overworked third world children make his shit is pretty good. Yeah, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'm not gonna know cause etc. etc.

So I am pretty darned educated and informed on many topics. I can discuss stuff ranging from media to world events to just random topics. Yet I rarely know who "famous" people mostly famous for being tedious podcasters and staff writers for some website are. Almost like they don't much matter.

So is Etsy allowing sellers to sell merch that makes light of Kirk's death or was that something they only allowed when cheering concentration camps? (Note: I'm not saying anyone should make such stuff. But since they let folks do the "Alligator Alcatraz" and other vile shit it seems fair)

I find it amusing that none of these big tough hard men running studios and such, who I'm sure delight when they're historically played as gruff saavy defenders of their media empires in film and fiction can seem to get even a bit "I'm not caving to your shit and fuck you" with recent threats.

Apparently Tyler Robinson used "Donald Trump" as an online alias while gaming. You know, like all violent liberal queer antifa kids do. Uh huh. Next up, Nick Fuentes will be stabbed by a guy with the handle "GoebellsDGooker" or "RomperStomper88" and MAGA will be all "clearly a lib!"

We might want to consider when writing of this period in the future to find some way of replacing anyone who just went along or kept their heads down and let others suffer with hungry historians and sociologists who are ready to just lay out how fucked various things are.

I seriously think we should normalize leftist and moderate politicians and such having security details that don't fuck around. ICE dipshit tries to assault an official? MAGA threatens their family? Meet Billy, their 6'4" ex spec ops private security.
