Every day I read a news story that makes me feel like I need to apologize to at least one insane person in a John 3:16 van and today it’s this one
It should come with a Qix controller that is only for Qix.

Big fan of Bakeru - if you liked the old Goemon games, grab that one
Even before having my own child (whom I openly show affection for, weirdly), all the children in my family and friend circle are DELIGHTS and some of the best parts of existing in this world. I hate being a miserable asshole and prescribing it to being “this is just how all men are”.
Most Americans don’t know Sinclair even exists because they don’t advertise themselves as a brand forward corporate mascot of the regime - they just think they’re local news stations “with concerns” that always match GOP talking points
Without them it changes everything but so many people are like “OF COURSE they have rah rah news channels, we’re just better than them for not one ourselves. It’s not weird or anything. I go on there now and then” like WHAT?
Like imagine the last few elections of there weren’t hugely popular among certain age brackets/population densities tv news that were ONE HUNDRED PERCENT behind one candidate vs stations that are at best only 45% against him but show him constantly and consistently
I still think that Americans, including the political class, don’t think it is WEIRD for the right wing to have home field advantage news stations on TV so right wing social media to them is still “well we just have to go on there and convince them otherwise”
when Musk bought Twitter I mentioned repeatedly that a BIG part of it was right wing information warfare
and I got a lot of odd, cocksure replies about how I was "overthinking it," "it's not 4D chess," "he's not that smart" "he tried to back out, so how could it be true," etc.
weird shit
So hey that's eugenics

I would have killed for that backpack.
But those are the only Ghostbusters figures I ever saw on sale after the first year anywhere (by anywhere, I mean, Zellers and Canadian Tire)
This is why polls can be 33% approval rating and then the actual voting is still a near tie because Americans when getting to the voting booth are like 'well I'm not going to VOTE AGAINST MY PARTY/Famous person I know' regardless of if they like what they're doing. The other side is Capital B Bad.
Even before the election there was always this attempt to portray right-wing podcasters and Rogan in particular as "well he's not ACTUALLY for Trump, he has some questions about him" and then bam, yes, he is 100% for Trump when push comes to shove. Because of COURSE he is.
A weird set of circumstances lead to Namco releasing Obocchama-kun on the PC Engine, a licensed game that was actually by Pack-In-Videos based on a cartoon about a billionaire kid that had the PTA up in arms.
