The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

lots of people write poems-as-jokes or fake song lyrics and forget (or don't know) that those are supposed to scan, perhaps also to rhyme. many such cases, and they all piss me off

I don't love the venom on "foreign" here but the point stands: if your fans can't abide by basic standards of decency and respect when travelling (or you're willing to claim they can't...), then your fans can fuck off until they change.

I buy the Cabaret theory of modern politics: current right wing politics was, once upon a time, a thing elites sold to rubes while merely pretending to believe themselves while they pursued wealth, but now the True Believers are actually in charge and acting on sincerely believed insane nonsense.

Working on a thought-tool called "stupid drunk guy in a bar". Works like this: If the take you're responding to is essentially being mumbled by a clearly very stupid drunk guy in the bar you're at, is it worth starting a big public discussion with him?
Today we've decided to center:
- some genre author with fewer than 2k followers who said something insipid about an industry where he has no relevant experience or connection
- a Cato Institute ghoul with the handle "normative" and a substack smugly saying we need to be more serious about eugenics

To be very clear, Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the people who get it as children. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M
RFK’s Anti-Vax Team Readies Its Next Moves
“Their game is, let’s really destabilize trust in the vaccine, and make people really anxious about it.”

Arsenal now hold the record at 108 games. The last team to score three times in a game against the Gunners was Luton on 5th December 2023 - two years ago tomorrow.
If Arsenal concede fewer than three goals against Chelsea, they will equal the record of 107 straight games in all competitions without conceding three goals in a match set by an English club (Man Utd October 2016 to August 2018).

taking a late-20s utility midfielder you signed to run around winning "duels" and turning him into a top-four standard centre-forward... that's remarkable

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

Welcome home for Christmas, Daniel.

![Scene is a domestic TEENAGE BEDROOM which has been turned into a JUNK STORAGE ROOM by the parents since their son left home. Nirvana poster, Beasti Boys poster, plus cardboard boxes, a running machine, a computer desk, etc. On the floor though, is said teenager, a guy called DANIEL, now an adult returned home for Christmas and having to sleep on a mattress on the floor among all this stuff. On his head, as he wakes up, is his parents' cat, CLIVE.
[Close up on Daniel's closed eyes]
[Daniel slowly opens eyes to realise Clive is sat on his head]
CLIVE THE CAT:
Well, well, well.
CLIVE:
The prodigal son returns!
Happy Christmas, Daniel.
DANIEL:
Hello Clive
CLIVE:
So sorry I’ve sat on your head. I didn't see you down there among all this... junk.
Such a shame they turned your old bedroom into a storage cupboard.... How the mighty have fallen!
34 years old and forced to sleep under dad’s computer desk with your pillow on the running machine...
While I have the freedom of the house!
Admit it, Daniel...
I am the son now.
I alone am prince of the prince of this domain!
DANIEL:
No! You’re just the cat!
CLIVE:
You’re gone, Daniel. I’ve sprayed it all! Everything!
Even....
[Show a teddy on a shelf]
...Mr Bumble.
DANIEL:
Nooo
CLIVE:
I AM THE SON NOW
DANIEL:
You bastard...
