Media illiteracy is a foundational component of conservatism.

Gundam is about robots and lasers

Star Trek is about spaceships and lasers

Star Wars is about the force and lasers

if you make a conservative think about an allegory they'll cry and buy a novelty flag about it
Seeing people online trying to argue that this clip from Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash isn’t political and is not inspired by real world politics at all so I will present it here with no commentary so you can come to your own conclusion

One of the great Tragedies of the Commons is that streaming has rendered DVD special features extinct, and only people with a 25-year-old disc of this movie can watch the "undub" to hear both the Cantonese voices and him actually screaming "I'm somebody's mommy" in shot

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Every maga beatdown follows the same dunning-kruger script: a man enters with absolute certainty that they are obviously superior, then quickly finds that they are woefully unprepared and useless in ways they don't understand.

I'm saying that the movement really attracts a specific kind of person.

"SOUND: PLINKY PLONK PLATFORM TUNES"
For a few years anti-Rare sentiment was so bad that EGM did a list of the top 10 most overrated games and 5 of them were Rare games.

Nintendo's official UK magazine even called DKC3 a fat bitch.

I'm really glad "tennis elbow" is a recognized medical term because it sounds much more organized than "I still haven't bothered improving my children's nightly routines so that I wouldn't have to physically lift a sleeping one into a top bunk each night and they just get bigger every year elbow"

there will never be true justice or equity in our society until we as a culture can grapple with the fact that vanilla ice actually looked like a kitsch swag demigod throughout about 80% of his Cool As Ice screentime

I am forty years old and it never fucking fails that I feel like I've met a Fellow Old to commiserate with about the old days of dialup internet and retro games or whatever and then they eventually say the word "Bionicle" followed by several minutes of unintelligible gibberish and I flee
