So, every morning from 9-10, ABC devotes its airtime to right wing propaganda masquerading as “news.” It’s called the National News Desk and all it does is reiterate Trump talking points and use GOP scare tactics. Disney is capitulating to fascists. Full stop.

JJ McCarthy leaving the stadium today

James Bond needs to go full Roger Moore again in terms of tone.

@thelogantrent.bsky.social and I find ourselves on the wrong side of a bad movie

He’s not Henry Cavill, but Liam Hemsworth does fine as Geralt in the new season of the Witcher. I DID forget about the part of the story where Ciri runs with the “cool kids.” A part I didn’t really like. I don’t like the cool kid teen thieves that got it all figured out trope.

Writers, how do you push through the thoughts of “this is stupid” or “no one will like this?” Is it just keeping your nose to the grindstone?

America:

Caleb had a bad game, but I’m happy with the direction the Bears are going. We’re not a playoff team, but Ben has been awesome and I know Caleb will get better.

Anime update: Watched Spy Family with my son and we like it a lot! Super fun

I tried, y’all, but Borderlands 4 is a wet bucket of butts. They just made a destiny clone with a Borderlands skin, and it doesn’t do anything new. The writing is terrible and your character only speaks in corny dad jokes and WON’T. SHUT. UP.

Anime update: based on my son’s recommendation, started Gachiakuta. It’s ok. I think all my son watches are shonen, so they get kind of repetitive.

Sorry if you’re a fan, but the Dodgers in their current form are bad for baseball. A salary cap is LONG overdue.

Finished Samurai Champloo and DandaDan. Liked Champloo a lot, and loved DandaDan (except for the sexual menacing, which was weird). Any more suggestions? Anime novice here.

. @thelogantrent.bsky.social @johnnyrimes.bsky.social …. I was too busy this weekend and almost missed this … and I’m infuriated that I’m going to lose an hour and half listening to this, but, we all agree, it’s a must listen Patreon.com/gamefullyynemployed (@gamefullyunemployed) episode, right?

Been off socials but wanted to make sure y’all knew about my new podcast with @thelogantrent.bsky.social!

Every year, everyone everywhere, “The Bears are going to have a good team this year.”

Willian Gimenez was abducted by ICE yesterday in Chicago. He had been part of a lawsuit against off-duty police and Home Depot employees for abusing day laborers. Latino Union says he was targeted for advocating for his rights as a worker. @bloomekatz.bsky.social and I report.

Borderlands 4’s dialog and story are, and I can’t stress this enough, super lame. The characters are lame and it just doesn’t grab me. It’s a very competent shooter, but there are so many of those and they do it better than B4.

Fox News: The left encourages violence by demonizing the right. You know, the left, the people we have been demonizing and encouraging violence on.

Had to mute a certain dude’s name because I’m sick of hearing about how great a bigot he was and how we should honor his legacy of bigotry.

News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth. Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger. Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

Remember when Roy from Siegfried and Roy was mauled nearly to death by the tiger they exploited by parading it around on stage and making it do tricks for them DESPITE the fact that it was an unpredictable, wild animal? The Charlie Kirk murder is a lot like that.

You know, a bunch of kids were also murdered…

What’s with this serious-ass Borderlands

So, is Idiot Dirtbag going to deploy the National Guard in Utah? Clearly crime is an issue

The Republican on Republican violence must end. I implore all GOP leaders to denounce attacks by Republicans on Republicans. In the interest of public safety, all Republicans should be closely monitored until it can be ascertained they do not pose a threat to other Republicans. Gun bans may follow.

Black trauma is the US norm and after today it’s more than obvious that no one but us sees it, hears it, or cares about it or us regardless of how far and how regularly we fight against it. The US has effectively told us that they’re done and we do not matter. But they’ve always told us that, tbh.

Perfect.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

In happier news, seeing Demon Slayer tomorrow. Favorite anime so far. Attack on Titan is the best, but DS is my favorite. Tanjiro is my boy!

Please stay safe out there guys. The government doesn’t give a hot shit about us and, in fact, prefers us to be terrified, so let’s be here for each other.

Fucking sick of all this goddamn violence.

Trump has zero control over anything except the amount of Big Macs he eats in a day, which is all of them.

“Our old men have half the brain cells they ought to,” I said, showing I can make shit up, too.

Problem is the people they hire didn’t graduate High School.

We all already like him, no need to keep putting this stuff out there

I really hate it here.

No no no, this isn’t fascism. It’s ok once you accept that we are peasants who exist only to provide them with wealth and power.

Cam Newton dresses how animes think Americans dress

Ok, watching Dan Da Dan and the William Tell Overture IS anime and anime IS the William Tell Overture

Go boneless

What’s a good anime to get into? My faves are Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer (got my ticket for the movie already) and Mushi-Shi. Honorable mentions for Trigun and My Hero

Was reading @merrittk.com’s article for this week on @1900hotdog.bsky.social about Gene Simmons’ cover of Firestarter and the line “He looks like an Eric Andre character named Gonorrhea Fartz,” gave me the laugh I needed today.

The Phillies fan Karen that demanded the home run ball back from a guy that got it and gave it to his son probably brags about how she stood up for herself over white wine with friends amidst conversations on how poor people have it “too good.”

Hell is Us is worth checking out. It feels like Nioh only set in a surrogate for early 90s Bosnia during a civil war. Because of that, I will warn you it contains some terrible imagery associated with that (like the war in Bosnia).

Really trying to keep up the optimism but it’s difficult to not feel like we’re straight up losing. All the protests, the court victories, the promising upcoming elections, and I still see these idiots just doing whatever they want.

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

"END ALL TRAFFIC LAWS! I decide what speed is safe for me and my family to travel at, and I'll stop when and ONLY when I want to stop. GTA rules from now on. If you have a problem with that, YOU get off the road!"

Well, dead or not dead, we could still put him in a box and bury him real deep.
