I say this as a person who consumes a lot of said content.

I think the single greatest mistake The Left made during Trump’s first term was allowing internet content creators to think they were important.

right. this exactly.

your constituents are like, "we need to water the tree of liberty" and your response is, "how about middle class tax cuts and I chastise the left?"

like, I think there's a disconnect there.

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

Standing up for the downtrodden retail CEO by affirming that shoplifting is worse than genocide, actually

On the one hand this is completely bugnuts but on the other the people angriest about this are the kind of folks who still think Kamala lost for not being moderate enough

Global Latine belt stays winning

Shout out to carbohydrates. Huge fan

Ever put one with a tomato product and a cheese? Elite food loudout, top meta for sure

ADOBE: welcome to photoshop. what would you like to do. here is an AI tool
ME: i would like to draw a rectangle. i am selecting the rectangle tool

ME: rectangle please
ADOBE: sorry but i can only do that in an insane way now. here is a new layer and a vector for some reason

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

it will never not be funny how they thought bsky was going to be a google campus and instead they got tumblr and they absolutely h a t e it

The way some people talk about Dave Filoni, you woukd think they’d prefer Star Wars be back in the hands of JJ Abrams

A savory cannoli is called a burrito
A sweet lasagna is called tiramisu

Yeah! This would require there being a third way for a realm to split besides traditional faction revolts & kurultai splits. Maybe some sort of hybrid claimant/independence faction that pops when disobedient vassals hit a critical mass, or something

Maybe kurultai have a malus for every holding that’s only been a part of your realm for 1 generation? Or there’s a delay on nomad de jure changes

I also think there’s should be SOME threshold for steppe revolts, I shouldn’t have to stop what I’m doing once every 7 years to squash a 2K stack of horde riders with my army of 50K space marines

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Anything to put some brakes on these massive pre-Mongol steppe megastates I keep getting. Nomad MAAs should be a serious problem, don’t get me wrong, but they’ve been way too stable for the past year

AND THEYRE DOING OTHER THINGS AS WELL?!

No wonder they waited so long to announce

Same thing as last year tbh. Im happy for the folks who really wanted both theocracies & trade, I wasn’t howling for it like I was for the steppe to not suck but I might pick up the chapter if the trade dev diaries tickle my fancy

Knights of the Old Republic 2 is great cuz it takes the mechanical center of the game (the level 1 to level 20+ D&D Arc that is powered primarily by murder) and then goes “okay what explains this in the Star Wars setting” and comes to the conclusion that you are something horrible and monstrous

Rural whites when Democrats try to help them in literally anyway

You cannot blame three elder millennials from Nashville or wherever they live now for how the baby-brained sensibilities of Generation X have trickled down in a haphazard game of brain telephone to their descendants.

An entire generation of American adults, arguably two, believed that the reason m night Shyamalan made good films is because those films had twists in them, all before the invention of you tube dot com.

The success of cinemasins did not make the filmgoing public dumber. It revealed that the filmgoing public was already that dumb.

“You can’t use them as a stand-in for fascists! They’re dumb, cynical, and basic, not evil! They are probably to the left of contrapoints on certain things! They suck in a way that is completely different to the way Ben Shapiro sucks! Stop using the same language for them that you use for him!”
