Some of my favorite games are a little bittersweet because they were clearly rushed out the door or had other limitations. You can't ignore the missed potential.
Meanwhile - Starfield was so poorly conceived from the beginning and got every day and dollar Todd wanted. Its maddening!

It must be so frustrating to be Jewish when everyone accuses your religion of being the international conspiracy religion while the front page of the news is like “Pope declares this Opus Dei thing freaks him out too.”

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I know I am more utilitarian than most. And I am not one to engage in "oppression olympics", but the fact that the deathtoll from the end of the USAID has no salience is kinda breaking my brain.
Its as if something doesnt let you own the libs, no one in the media sphere pays it any mind

Well most of California’s land use issues are down stream of policies adopted from when it was a Republican stronghold no?

people bitch about woke media but if TOS was on today they would go to a thinly-veiled MAGA planet where the locals worshipped guns and then kirk would hit the orange dictator with a two-fisted karate chop before giving a lecture about how science is real and violence is bad

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy

I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

Jesus Christ we really are not going to make it if this calling Will Stancil, someone who is in the top 1% of top 1% of being annoying and combative online (I say this as someone who likes him), a little bitch is so beyond the pale.

Our respect means more though. Reactionaries know this. The admiration of millions of MAGA grandparents has not helped JD Vance with his self esteem issues. He'd much rather get recognition from Jamelle Bouie. Red tribe has no cultural capital and they know it. 2024 hasn't changed this one bit.
for me a key realization is that "we want to be respected" is not some weird drive that only reactionaries have. we've all got it. we all like winning. you have to look into your heart and see the potential for darkness there if you want to really understand the right.

The people who own the New York times would like it to be 1995-2005 again. The people they try and make partners in doing this want it be 1925 again.

the legislative history is utterly forgotten. We got the aca because of a republican senator switching parties and an unexpected death that gave dems an extremely narrow super majority for liek 60 days in session. It passed on New Year’s Eve quite literally the very last moment it could have passed
If we had been able to pass something better, that would have been better
I was there, Gandalf! We tried!
If we had been able to pass nothing, that would have been much, MUCH worse

they still effectively are locked out for a generation. We’ve only had 1 honest to god trifecta this century (50 seat senate with Manchin as 50 is not really a trifecta).
We’re nearly maxed on swing state seats and Fetterman will probably flip eventually.

If Kamala didn’t step into the breach Dems would probably be locked out of the Senate for nearly a generation. I’m even willing to give party leadership and Biden most of the blame for Gaza because they were basically forcing her to refuse to break with Biden on anything.

Right populism being the only effective Internationale and winning all over the west and beyond makes me feel like we’re merging into the reality where the Axis won WW2. It’s as if that is what was supposed to happen and the universe is gradually course correcting

four types of private schools in america:
1) catholic schools for racists
2) nondenom schools that dont teach you science
3) hippie schools that dont teach you to read, inexplicably 87% matriculation @ top 20 colleges
4) hogwarts, costs 55k/yr, explicably 99% matriculation @ top 20 colleges

Having gone to a really shitty private school is so funny. People hear “private school” and rightly think my parents were well off but instead of playing lacrosse or whatever I was learning young earth creationism from a Russian antisemite in portables outside a church

I see no reason to think it won’t. FOX News has ruined so much of this country beyond repair. The #1 cable news network is radio Rwanda for retirees and that’s coming for everyone else

Charlie Kirk is a pretext. However, more than anything else, they want a George Floyd of their own. They don’t understand why that moment happened and why Kirk’s shooting isn’t the same.
The culture has shifted right since then, but it’s not enough. It’s a perfect encapsulation of conservatism tbh

National guard deployments are Trump shadow boxing with 2020 protestors that are no longer there.
His actions against the media is striking back at a media that dragged him through the coals in his first term. That also no longer exists.

Look, I'm just saying there's a strong element of gleeful "Our worst is superior to your best" in the Trump era GOP's reaction to Obama. Obama desecrates the office wearing a tan suit and Trump respects the dignity of the office by fucking the Hamburglar on the Resolute Desk. Sign of a sick culture.
