He’s part pug

There’s no evidence at all he’s a leftist. There’s not much evidence he’s MAGA, aside from his family seeming to be

There’s clear evidence he’s a terminally online gamer, that’s all that’s really clear.

The mainstream media has been incredibly irresponsible and spreading misinfo on both counts. The guy is alive, we don’t have to wonder. He’s going to have a chance to speak sooner or later

Who has the energy to pretend anymore? We’re all just phoning it in, even the fascists

Yeah well… Shooters are basically exclusively conservative. It’s just not happening, not from us

I will be tomorrow… A night of sleep and I think I’ll have it. It’s starting to click

I did think about streaming it, probably would’ve been a good way to start. But on the other hand, I want to enjoy this game for what it is

Yeah, entryism can eat my whole asshole

It’s clear what the people what. It’s not socialism, but it’s definitely is progressive. And that’s good enough for now

Lol… Wait until you play Silksong. Hollow Knight is about straight lines and timing, if you want to be Hornet you have to learn to dance in the air

You need positioning, timing, and angles. You have to dance into their guard and hit with precision, you can hit them while dodging their strike, you have to dance in between them and the hotbox of their attack

Sleeping and stepping away helps.

I’ve been replaying Hollow Knight this week, and despite it being years since I played, I still had the muscle memory. So I was just blazing through, I mean once you do the crazy parcore in the castle the other challenges are pretty easy

The skills do not transfer over, I’m almost as bad as I was going into the first game

So far, this game is exactly what was promised… You’re Hornet from the last game, in a new place, with a new story

It’s like playing Hollow Knight for the first time again

Imitation meat is very highly processed food. I’ve never had lab grown meat, I’d need to know the details to judge it

I do like me a good bean burger though…I make big batches of dried beans and mash them, it’s great on rice, as a dip, you can fry it, you can add whatever you want to make infinite variations

But every once in a while I like to have a good burger. Like a few times a year… Honestly, if anything, meat tastes better because I rarely eat it.

Imitation stuff just doesn’t compare, maybe you could convince me it’s meat, but you’ll never convince me it’s better than “ok”. And plenty of meat is just ok… Most of it even

I’d rather eat my beans every day, and eat my steak and tuna a few times a year and enjoy every moment of it

He ignores them like a child pushing boundaries. He doesn’t respect them, he doesn’t fear consequences, but at the end of the day when the courts put their foot down he does back down

Abrego Garcia was brought back. Alligator Alcatraz is being dismantled. Many people are back at work after being illegally fired

The rule of law is gone… But all the law has ever been is what people are willing to enforce. Trump and Co don’t care about the law, but they’re not willing to get in a standoff

I bet Putin got in the beast and told Trump “I rigged the 2024 election for you, and I can give you the midterms”

Trump seemed almost meek and grateful to Putin in the press conference, and they talked about elections a lot. Why the fuck is Putin giving us advice on elections? Why were they talking about elections at all?

Ugh…45% of Texas Republicans would pick Vance for president? How is he that popular for them?

It’s really not. They’re not letting Congress members inspect literal concentration camps. I wonder when that has happened before…

This is issue #1. I’m all for beating the drums on the Epstein files, but the reason for that is just to fracture his base. The actual important thing right now is to stop a genocide before it gets into gear

I mean, yeah. Aside from Maryland and I think one other, the blue states aren’t very gerrymandered. This is one of the main tools that kept the Republicans relevant… They’ve just been cheating for decades, pushing further and further

If we strip fair election laws in places like California and cheat as well, they never get a majority in Congress again. If we pass national districting laws to make them all fair, same deal.

As far as gerrymandering too much… Tech giants are hoovering up all this data in part to share with groups like Cambridge analytica, which gives ungodly levels of granular data. They got very good at predicting elections

And that’s why Democrats are freaking out about Mumdani and Republicans are freaking out in general - progressive populists are out performing the models by double digit percentage points. And that’s well past the 10 point lead they used to consider a done deal

The fuck are you talking about?

Progressives. Everyone else is the enemy.

You’re talking past me, and I don’t appreciate it

I’m not white washing anyone, I’m saying there’s no benefit for a progressive to use the term genocide. They need to describe a genocide viscerally, or use some new messaging strategy with or without the word

And I sure as hell wouldn’t call Democrats progressives, I’m not defending them. They’re not on our side… Obviously

I’m talking about progressives like my boy Mumdani, I’m saying he doesn’t need to use the term genocide. It’s enough to declare support for Palestinians and refuse to kiss the APAC ring.

Winning matters. To do that, your messaging needs to meet the moment correctly…I don’t give a shit what words they say, I want fighters with actual ideals in every goddamn office

And frankly, they’re ramping up to a genocide on American soil. I feel for the Palestinians, but to help them we’ve got to put on our oxygen masks first… We have to take back control for many reasons, but I’m genuinely terrified that almost no one seems to be acknowledging they’re building concentration camps where people started dying on day 3.

If I can’t scream imminent genocide for that, and it just makes people shut down, then I get why maybe genocide isn’t a useful word to throw around, no matter how true it might be

I think there’s a pretty simple reason… People are fucking terrified. They try to downplay it in their heads, they shut down, they just stop listening. They make excuses for how it couldn’t happen to them, that the victims must’ve done something wrong to invite disaster

It’s the same thing with global warming. We’re so screwed, millions, maybe billions are going to die from it in our lifetimes - and we’re still not really fixing the problem

You can tell people isolated events and facts, one at a time, and hope they realize the urgency themselves after learning so many bite sized snapshots

Is it good messaging? IDK, it didn’t really communicate the urgency of climate change at the right moment

But if you use a word like genocide, even very technically, you lose the sheep. People already on your side are what, going to be suddenly happy you’re doing enough?

Let’s be honest, we only stood against the Nazis because of political alliances, and even then there was debate over if we should cut off aid to our allies and be more isolationist

There was a lot of “America first” ideas floating around at the time, if it wasn’t for perl harbor things might have gone very differently

It wasn’t until the world saw video of the camps that Nazis became considered unambiguously evil, a lot of people supported their ideology until they saw the end result

I don’t think that’s true at all. Most of us know sketchy shit happens with intelligence agencies, the rest would say we don’t do it, but if we did it would be for a good reason, and if it wasn’t for a good reason it’s being blown out of proportion

Yeah, you guys need to get your shit together quick. There’s a lot of money being pumped in to highjack your democracies now that the process has been proven in the US

It’s going to start with control over social media, censorship, saving the children. With an undertone of straight up fascism
