my 4 favorite pieces of media i experienced in 2025

There should be an alternate history that’s some form of imperial China surviving to the present that’s about all the Confucian PMCs with their email jobs who run a superpower

this is sort of like that one campaign trail mod swan song of the regime that set out to give the new right a "fair, balanced look" based on the words of the creator's groyper friend and it ended up an unintentionally accurate critique because jd vance ends up coming off as an evil nazi

I don’t want to say real deliverism hasn’t been tried but at the end of the day Biden didn’t deliver a whole lot and the reason why that wasn’t entirely his fault is very hard to explain to the median voter, so I think there can be a sort of unjustified fatalism in how we view public opinion

It’s really a shame that a performance as good as Jacob Elordi’s is in a movie with as badly done a storyline as Frankenstein 2025, if you had had that performance in a faithful adaptation it would have been one of the greatest movie adaptations ever

ace combat 7 is peak but i have to question how im supposed to follow literally any of whats happening narratively while the entire story is competing for space with MISSILE LOCK

The main thing I have to say about this article is that deliberately spreading misinformation about Tyler robinson’s motives was obviously morally correct and was important to counter the effort to manufacture consent for a purge

vibes update: my very moderate jewish grandma was defending graham platner

the ana and din mysteries are really the first post 2024 fantasy- following this wave of post 2020 the system is irrevocably broken burn it all down books (babel, blood over bright haven), rjb's feel like the first out of an era where we see what burning down the systems we rely on really means

caved in and finally started watching heated rivalry

We are tyler robinson

ok alejandra saying this is sort of the equivalent of cronkite turning on lbj but for good vibes

At the time probably Breath of the Wild, now my favorite both of 2017 and of all time is Nier Automata

ideal democratic party character dynamic

Prime Obama timeline: POD is Kerry picking bob graham instead of John edwards as his vp; this results in John edwards running for reelection in nc and winning. also, while graham doesn’t get Kerry over the line in Florida his better performance lets betty castor to win the senate race there

franz ferdinand and the other Austrian magyarophobes about the HungarianSS

Thank you for your service carol sturka

This would be a really interesting theme to explore in an interactive medium, someone should really make Some sort of modification, perhaps to an existing browser game simulating American elections, that satirizes this tendency and shows its impact on U.S. politics

modern day Horace Greeley tbh

people who compare this moment to Julius Caesar are totally wrong- this is obviously sulla’s proscriptions and Caesarism is the upcoming darkwoke dictatorship

theres an obvious implication to this that will become completely uncontroversial to say among left of center people by like 2030

controversial take but the left needs to be prepared to consolidate behind a single anti-Newsom candidate. Doesn’t matter how many appointees they voted for, doesn’t matter if you don’t think they’re left enough- as soon as someone seems to be leading the not Newsom pack that’s our guy

I mean I do think that Remmick was objectively right, but that’s ok because art can still be really good while disagreeing with me

The reason big Joel is a goated video essayist is that he’ll bring up takes on media I’ve literally never even considered before, truly no one does it like him

Maybe in the 2030s people will be like wow racist and sexist pluribus fans hated laxmi for ruining carol’s fun but right now I can say fuck laxmi she’s a bitch

all i have to say about the special election is that this guy is irreparably who i picture when i read matt van epps en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_R...

Hungary gets partitioned between all of its neighbors

Si quieres extranjeros necesitan que aprender tu idioma necesitas que ganar guerras contra paises mas fuerte que paraguay

The thing about the overland campaign is that it was kind of Lee’s best performance. His use of trenches was legit innovative and he made no significant missteps. But Grant still beat him despite running against trench warfare for the first time ever because he was just that good

i dont know anyone who has read both asoiaf and berserk so there is no one in this world who can appreciate how clever my asoiaf/berserk crossover idea is

tbf this view is way more justified than the same for dems given that from 1930 on weimar was led by various flavors of right wing authoritarians that didnt really have the goal of preserving the republic so much as instituting their own visions of dictatorship and sought to use the nazis to do so

mcpherson's description of the overland campaign is legit the most thrilling military history ive ever read also its pretty clear to me that lee in fact was the one who had the advantage in that campaign, the lost cause gaslighting that the defender in the first modern war was the underdog is crazy

if i had a nickel for every time a new jersey governor was associated with 14 points id have 2 nickels

its funny how much shit americans get for blind patriotism when like every other country has leftists who are like of course our brutal dictator leopold the baby crusher was bad, almost as bad as the people who fought back when he launched an unprovoked invasion of their home

should i ask for a switch 2 or steam deck for holidays

its really maddening how hoi4 vanilla is unable to conceive of any political developments whatsoever happening without a civil war

did the supreme court write this

All I’m gonna say is that we doomed about Charlie Kirk and that was not a Reichstag fire or even a Horst weasel so don’t waste time dooming about this one before any real facts have even come out

under woke 2 adam ragusea will get the presidential medal of freedom for the sunday sauce video that both led to me feeding a lot of people at my dinner party and also spread the vibes that the economy is bad

the star wars movie i most want to see is the battle of coruscant: a star wars story: it would be like dunkirk with 3 main intersecting stories- a clone commander whose men are trapped behind separatist lines; shaak ti, whose mission is to protect the chancellor from grievous; and republic /1

-be me -non-western nation victimized by european imperialism -overthrew previous government in the last century -new government brings about economic boom -launch brutal invasion of much larger neighbor that's currently torn apart by civil war -be republic of rwanda -pic unrelated

I've created my magnum opus

Katsu curry

Holy fuck bill kristol comes for Rebecca “Chiang Kylo Ren Shek” Kuang

They’re calling it the quickest we’re so back it’s so over we’re so back cycle in history

Without getting into the merits of the claim this is exactly what a bunch of people on bluesky want to happen themselves and was the precise reason why people didn’t want them to do the shutdown over aca subsidies

Made some fesenjoon and it turned out great, how’s everyone else’s night going :)

if this man sitting here was the only bad thing charlie kirk had ever been a part of in his entire life, he still would have deserved it, and any woman pathetic enough to marry him would have deserved to see it

i have to tell you guys, the amount of hoops the DCCC makes you jump through literally just to submit to their talent bank does not reflect well on hakeem jeffries' leadership
