“Farmers as blue collar workers“ has basically been a farce for decades. As someone from farm country, the vast majority of farmers are rich, bigoted filth closer to landed gentry than the laborers politicians and media pretend they are

Even *cynically trying to manipulate voters* would be preferable to the bizarre moralizing blue dog centrists do.

in a rare reddit w, a thread from a dude fretting about his wife's fears at his lack of progress in "practical self-defense" classes is primarily people noting that those kinds of skills are 90% bunk and also that random street assaults in their city are incredibly rare

was once New Amsterdam.

Which also btw means I deeply dislike the example in the image in the absolute opposite way its intended. Playing fucking mindgames with the GM so I can use the stat Im actually good at.

All behavior branching off of demands for “immersion”, which is nearly always wrong from both a creative *and* causal standpoint.

this kind of skeet is a form of manufactured consent

Re mentioning this sorta thing but I have become obsessed with Deadlock about half because of the lore and aesthetic and about half because Pocket is Exactly My Gender in a way I dont think ive managed to feel before

Also I love their ship w Mina euuugh so toxic its delightful #deadlock #bloodbag

idk who is more annoying at this point, bluenomatterwho libs getting bricked up over feeding trans folks and immigrants into a woodchipper, or keyboard revolutionary Canadians insisting we all firebomb government buildings immediately on the basis of, of all things, The French

"Why don't Americans—" we do. That's why many of my friends are in prison or dead.

I think some of it is literally AI and some of it is the psychological impact of AI, especially on younger folks just starting to participate in social spaces

I feel like conversations about media (everywhere but particularly reddit) are becoming more and more unglued. Like I feel like a weird wall is thinning regarding folks understanding of reality.

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

*Yesterday

The next pro forma session is on Thursday. Instead of just posting about how Congress needs to convene: get on a plane and be there to force the issue through Motions to Suspend the Rules via unanimous consent. Strike a deal with 8 GOP members to vacate the Speakership. Go. Do something.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

I do not think i will be able to play Marathon and that sucks because I love everything about what this is except trying to play it

This happens to me every time I crop to one panel of the comic grabbed off the mobile site lol. The strips are single pngs and not particularly high rez

FUCK YEAH LETS GO GOOD BRAINS LETS GO

Anyone got a Deadlock invite?

So much reactionary grievance boils down to, I think, only understanding their own position as natural and common and all exertions in opposition being artificial or enforced. See: cancel culture, see: purity politics.

So much ideological fuckery is masked by weird political, idk, solipsism? Like people can only ever imagine one entity having agency in any given context and they frame positions with that underpinning their thoughts.

You know my family never had a kitchen table growing up

We have one now but we dont use it. Its just a place for stuff to accumulate. And onions.

sometimes my life feels like.

Why is it important that strangers you will never meet tell you watching your show doesn't make you a bad person? Surely you've already decided to watch it.

So much of the "death of the author" debate is nonsense because it has nothing to do with the consumption of the media at hand.

No activist can actually make you not watch a show. You're mad because you want absolution, because you understand that this is wrong, and need to justify it.

The icy fear that grips at the heart of the median American is the idea that forgiveness might not be unconditionally offered to them, regardless of the severity or multitude of their offenses. To not absolve someone of their "nazi phase" is a far greater sin than having a nazi phase could ever be

Huh I wonder if this was the same studio that did Extreme Ghostbusters. Which also goes hard.
