Racists are the weakest and most pathetic people alive

I just don't think we've lived up to the promises of the Willennium

genuinely the last day I had any hope the nation would get better in my lifetime. in retrospect it was the gop's decision to pull out every stop and break every norm in order to prevent a liberal court that sent us down the path toward total fascism

"the ps3 can finally die" i didnt hear no ridge racer 7 port

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Call me Pam Bondi for the way I'm crashing out on live television in full view of all my colleagues and superiors

Gonna predict Pam Bondi ends up disbarred by the end of the year

It's really incredible how every right wing argument operates on the assumption you will just take it at face value and that you're incapable of critical thought

I haven't skipped a Yakuza release since 0. Will be skipping this. What a horrible betrayal.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

It's really something else that the right wing is uniformly devoid of talent and they are so insecure about this that they created an entire alternative media and culture ecosystem for themselves

BREAKING: Donald Trump is dead. ...that's right, dead serious about outliving Mitch McConnell!

Bill Amend rules

Holly Hunter is fine and all but Star Trek Starfleet Academy really missed an opportunity by not making the chaotic Jem'Hadar cadet master the focal point of the show

JKR is in the Epstein files lmao

Worst thing about loving Classics is that a lot of dipshits are also attracted to them for reasons like thinly-veiled sexism or white supremacy and every single time discourse pops up they're there polluting everything with their confident idiocy

When Noem is also shitcanned a lot of people are going to look extremely stupid and gullible for defending the obviously indefensible and it is vitally important that you make sure they never ever live it down

It's so grimly appropriate that the head of the gestapo is quite literally a pipsqueak

Face reveal

I'm too angry to be coherent

so a movie called 'SINNERS' gets 16 oscar nominations while a movie called 'FRIENDSHIP' gets none. trump's america

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

So if I have it right, with Dave Filoni replacing Kathleen Kennedy the production philosophy of Star Wars will change from Star Wars fans are insufferable (derogatory) to Star Wars fans are insufferable (unrepentant)

vertical shmups have names like "Understated Sadness" and sidescrolling shmups have names like "Glorbian"

Saw a cybertruck with an X the everything app decal on the back so either they are not embarrassed or they are coping and desperate to prove that they're not actually owned

Since cartoonists are on people's lips today I must mention that Bill Amend is an underrated cool dude

Reposting this because it has received the least interaction out of every single essay I've created for this blog and I'm thinking about just quitting if it stays that way :(

remembering being incredibly repulsed by a guy who was really into elon musk in like 2010, and also by another guy whose whole identity was "radical centrist" in the same era, I can reach only one conclusion: my gut instinct for sniffing out destructive BS is quite strong!

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

It would be funny as hell if he gets excommunicated

every sucks so much. monstrously evil start to the year in like a dozen separate ways.

I have a new essay in my ongoing memoir/media crit blog. In this I discuss my feelings on the decline of nature, my experiences with pets and animals, and talk about films by Robert Bresson and Isao Takahata and literature by JG Ballard and Ted Chiang among others. I hope you all enjoy.

Explaining to my wife who Glup Shitto is

Finally getting to season two of Andor and I'm afraid this show is once again tricking me into believing Star Wars is good

DEATH BED CONFESSION SCOTT ADAMS says "DILBERT admits" to killing SIX ho- meless men in the late 80s! "Sometimes he was just so angry," said ADAMS, "Only one thing helped." MURDER! Seems DILBERT has a MEETING with the ULTIMATE POINTY HAIRED BOSS: SATAN

They're still fighting over who gets the 20th Century, and they're burning the 21st Century for fuel to do it

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Doing it after midnight on a Friday is some truly craven shit

We need a word for when your entire nation is being a national embarrassment

Going into my mind palace to replay every embarrassing thing I've done in the last 30 years

2024 was a terrible year for us, but I would rather endure 2024's stress and despair again over 2025's loss and grief.

i can feel myself morphing into a cranky old man in real time

In 249 years, this country has yet to outlaw slavery. We change its form, we change its name, but slavery has been constant. Powerful people and businesses just really love slave labor, and a chunk of our economy is built on that.
