so to sum up, people don't want elected Democrats to do the job they were elected to do, they want them on TV soothing them and telling them stuff that makes them feel better rather than trying to pass things that might make things moderately better while can't to make it all better?

I have concluded Carlito’s Way is my ultimate dad movie. For the record I have no children.

In all seriousness this is what happens when you allow gamers into society.

Agreed 10000000000000000%

Hey kids I think I found some pure, uncut douchebag. It’s a rich tapestry of onanistic shit.

I call this “Jesus Math”

One of my favorite memories of the godson is when he was three and wanted to show how fast he could run. He ran with this crazy scowl on his face where he clearly saw himself with Dragonball Z speed lines. The only decision he made that day was an Ice Cream flavor…as long as it wasn’t dairy.

I feel like every "organizer" on Bluesky should be forced to write an essay about why their beliefs aren't just Calvinism, hastily re-applied to left-of-center politics.

This cuts to the heart of why I think YA books cooked all you younger people’s brains. You’re applying bullshit narratives to reality If you had to read adult books after the ago of 12 you’d know an uprising looks like the end of Day of the Locust or Faulkner’s Sanctuary, not The Hungry Vampires .

Do you think they hum the Lord of the Rings theme as they type?

I’m old kids and I’ve done A LOT of things in my life and I can say with immense comfort that I have hosted parties that were infinitely more risky from an OpSec (it’s such a stupid term) perspective than every protest I’ve attended.

So is the current administration strategy to borrow from Piker and the ACAB dipshits and say “Obama did it too”

this account has spent weeks trying, with increasing success, to stir up chaos in Minnesota ICE response in order to prosecute a years-old personal feud with me. I’m blocking him but he should also be banned completely

Oh shit, The Wife and I have been married 19 years as of today. I did something right.

I assume it’s like learning karate in The Matrix but they just shove The Anarchists Cookbook and a bottle psuedoephidren up their ass.

To be honest if I was observing ICE and noticed someone setting a dumpster on fire I’d put down my phone, walk over and beat your ass silly.

If people don't want normal protestors recording dipshits setting fires the solution is not to bully the people doing the recording but to police your people so they are not starting random fires. They are not smol beans who can't help themselves, they are adults doing counterproductive damage.

never ask a woman her age a man his salary or a leftist organizer what his specific protest action will accomplish

This really sucks. I hope it can get fixed because lives are on the line but it just shows how corrupting cameras and social media attention are to so many people. It brings out a selfishness that no political persuasion insulates you from.

My god that crazy lady from Philly is still at it about Will. It’s fucking pathological and really disheartening to be reminded how selfish and borderline most self-appointed activists are.

Well great something happened in the game and now The French Teens are *really* in trouble and i feel bad for making light of their peril.

I have decided to only refer to the game as: The French Teens Find Danger

No question about it. We’re talking about irritating shlub’s who peaked in sophomore year with a 10:00 am cultural studies class that paraphrased Marcuse and watched Bertolucci’s The Dreamers.

It’s just theory that can be detailed without using terms like “praxis”’in order to sound like an insufferable gnat on Chappel Roan’s ass

Not to be too vulnerable on main but my balls smell like butterscotch and yours smell like dirty smocks from a special school.

This Snyder account's comment is gross on so many levels and so goddam shameless about it ("vulnerable on main" for the love of fucking god) that we need to shut the fucking internet down for the rest of the day so we can figure out how to purge its memory from our brains.

I get to be relieved my grandma is dead because it means ICE can't kidnap her and that my mom and I mostly pass and white people are busy arguing over who deserves Real Activist Cred while children are being sent to motherfucking disease ridden detention center in Texas. Unbelievable.

Okay this is something I cannot do and I don’t understand how others can. I cannot switch between games with complex stories or gameplay systems. I play one “big” game alongside a platformer on the Switch, no more. How do you do more than that?

Anyone who’s sat in a room with a bunch of game people trying to decide Game of the Year, knows how this shit plays out. I called Biden’s candidacy in 2019 to much consternation.

This is what I smell among a lot (not all) of the “anyone but Newsom” crowd. They’re counting on him being the nominee, which I think is quite likely but in no way assured. FWIW Mark Kelly has my attention at the moment. The rebuilding of the bureaucracy is gonna require a big public mobilization.

I think it’s very deliberate I’m just fascinated by how they pulled it off. There’s a French way of examining genre and then recombining it that’s sublime when it works.

Looking at a walkthrough I’m a ways through the game and, yeah, the story is really good but I still think I should dislike it because it’s so obscure and feels arbitrary at this point. These kids keep talking about weird shit I know nothing of. That usually drives me nuts.

Oh, in other news I started playing that Expedition 33 game and inexplicably, I am quite enjoying it. I’m not exactly sure why because it has so many elements I cannot stand.

Okay. I actually think I need to sit down on this one. How much more odious could one be? Asking for it in blood? Holding your firstborn in escrow?

The Trump-Kennedy Hole In The Fucking Ground does sound like a place I’d enjoy the new Philip Glass symphony.

Saw the new Raimi movie last night and I had the most cathartic laughter in a very, very long time. Things have reached the point where I need extremely tight, extremely violent slapstick to facilitate release. Might be another 15 years before I heartily laugh again.

B-b-b-but the poll fixin’ n’ republican shenanigan stuff? This is gonna ruin someone’s doom.

This ever-likely pogrom has really got me concerned because, as far as I can tell, Springfield’s not Minneapolis in terms of organization and resources. Are there any established groups there asking for assistance? Any organization running point?

Hey @bruceshark.bsky.social those kids are at it again.

Well, he’s still fit to run security at DSA meetings.

sitting at a whites-only lunch counter is also "baiting," is the thing. and probably a lot more dangerous than telling ICE's donut patrol to bug off

Right, they could have probably successfully concealed their identities, and did not do so, despite the risk of literally being lynched in their homes

Godson not pictured but this on point sign is.

I don’t think the whiteboard exists to flowchart all of the logrolling.

So, just got word The Godson is attending a walkout protest in Dolores Park. Uncle Adam is gonna take a little satisfaction from this and not berate himself for 15 minutes.

I only became familiar with the bottom-feeing, jew-baiting talk show host wannabee that is Ms. Jane in the last couple of years but she really seems like the logical continuation of a certain breed of video game "journalism" and I think is something of a beacon to that cohort.

Um as someone who lived under Daryl Gates’ occupying force these assholes can fucking handle some conflict.

The best way to farm clout as a leftist is to pull a Hasan and say Dems suck. The best way to farm clout as a centrist is to pull a Bari and say Dems suck. The best way to farm clout as a conservative is to pull a Charlie and say Dems suck. The best way to farm clout as a fascist is, you guessed it,

that venture capital money really hits different huh

Hey for anyone else that’s been looking for a quick decompression fix. I’ve been playing a little bit of a Kirby game throughout the day ‘cause it’s Kirby and well, Kirby never called me no Zionist.
