I am a chronic post liker. I will like your post. It will mean many things. 'This is good', 'I hear you', 'It gets better', 'This was funny', 'Yahoo', 'Throwing eggs'. You will deal with it. This is our social contract

Special Investigation: Public records show Ohio State planned a moment of silence after Charlie Kirk's killing that one university dean predicted would cause public criticism. Ohio State scrapped the plan hours after The Rooster broke the news. www.rooster.info/p/ohio-state...

The outrage at Larian is crazy. It sounds like they're using AI to replace images ripped from like Google and Pinterest and quick Photoshops for ideation. Which is fine.

“The work was emotionally exhausting, with chat users confiding intimate details about their real-life relationships, as well as their own emotional trauma, falsely believing they were talking to an unfeeling AI chatbot.”

"So my plea to Democrats is: Press your advantage. Full speed ahead. It’s not yet time to indulge thoughts of peace and good will to all men (if that’s your thing). For the next two weeks, the kind of Christmas spirit we need is Washington crossing the Delaware." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The odds that we see a vtuber run for Congress are very high.

I think the craziest thing about the new Metroid is that the motion controls are excellent. It's MP3 but with less gimmicks. The standard controls are good too but you need to turn up the sensitivity.

I'm playing Prime 4. And maybe it's just the opening, but this feels very Halo like. The cadence of unnamed soldiers with mildly relevant in game dialogue. Metroid leans a bit more space opera but it's basically the same formula.

I know nothing about Pluribus, but people are talking about it. However the name sounds like a Poob show.

Just saw Wake Up Dead Man at the indie theater. I can confirm that Rian Johnson still has the juice.

Nobody wants to work anymore.

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper? by Larry Summers

Andor having a consistent "guy gets bullied by his mom" side plot is so crazy.

The algorithms will not convince me that Metroid Prime 4 will be bad. The whining YouTubers chan shut the fuck up.

There's a whole lot of "actually harm mitigation is winning". Going on since those senators folded. IMO is pure cope. We don't get out of this until we let the people constantly voting to put their hand on the stove actually touch the stove.

Fascists will post 1950s ads and say "see how things used to be!" and savvy people will scoff at their naivety. But appliance manufacturers in 70s and 80s told people their products will last forever and those same savvy people will swear that appliances and cars were better in the good old days.

This article literally agrees with me but go off.

I'm sorry your Mom keeps buying fridges that last 2 years and it's someone else's fault? How many fridges should a person go through before considering that maybe they're doing something wrong?

This game is excellent and you should play with headphones on.

One super weird thing about the Acolyte is that clearly none of the Jedi consider the little hamster Jedi a real person. Like they barely speak to him even when he does something significant. The movie treats him like a particularly intelligent dog.

Abolish Border Patrol.

It's a little funny that we're getting Metroid Prime 4 before GTA6. I wouldn't have guessed that 5 years ago.

Last nights results really confirm my prior that normal people don't give a shit about Charlie Kirk.

I'm seeing Republicans on Twitter escalate from lying about what Jay Jones said to claiming he's a literal murderer and "dog kicker". They really don't get why the country is turning on them.

Actually, the Dem Party rejection of a rando goon with a Nazi tattoo as a candidate is a strength

Graham Platner was viciously smeared by Graham Platner when Graham Platner posted bigoted shit under the name Graham Platner and tattooed a Nazi symbol onto poor Graham Platner. This collusion of Graham Platner against Graham Platner is obviously a nefarious conspiracy.

The other corollary of this is that the way for the out-of-power party to win House votes is to destroy the reputation of the president. Granted, this is a tall order for Democrats given his lack of obvious moral, political, ethical, or personal vulnerabilities

I’ve been of the opinion that all the Welcome PAC/Fest people are hack frauds, but this just cements it. Taking Republican talking points about Democrats and pretending they’re Democratic policies is proof enough anyone associated with them shouldn’t be listened to

I'm watching this and it's crazy this movie flew under the radar. It's funny as hell.

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary. It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability. We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

this is game development

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Also I saw the local Communist Party USA group there with zero masks. The leftist LARPers who were too scared to go or RSVP are absolutely fringe losers.

Good turnout at the Columbus No Kings rally. We love to see it.

Greenberg: They spent the last week on the attack against no kings, smearing all of us as anti-american. They tried to scare us out of gathering today. I have got a question for you. Are we afraid?

Proud of you, Nashville. #NoKings

The fact that I only know about those government accounts trying to troll here because people I follow are dunking on them, tells me the nuclear block is working. I think this place can survive as long as the culture of blocking those losers continues.

Over on twitter people are trying to argue that horses would be more useful and easier to maintain in the apocalypse than bicycles. And that feels definitely not true for the vast majority of people.

Now they're claiming the swastika american flag is an optical illusion!

I mean, I guess you *can* live in a Coen Brothers film.

I've been spending too much time on twitter lately and I can feel it turning me into a doomer. That place is corrosive to your soul.

If you had told me the Libs would get all the FPS games in the national divorce I wouldn't have believed you, but here we are

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Very hard not to conclude that the Dem messaging strategy of focusing on healthcare has been highly successful at shaping public impressions of the shutdown fight so far despite being hated on here to the point that major accounts were actively adopting GOP framing to attack it

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

I bet this place grows significantly again once the 2026 election season takes off.

Certain leftist influencers only care about making sure Democrats lose, but it's pretty clearly also true for a certain type of centrist blogger. Nate Silver is the poster boy, but he's far from the only one. He literally only writes posts bashing Democrats.

How am I just learning about The Good Lord Bird? You're telling me they made a high budget John Brown TV show and I missed it?
