When I say transsexual I mean it as an umbrella term. If you think you can guess my chromosomes, you probably can't. Maybe human.

While it's funny to be contrarian and assume he's hiding something would the FBI even know if Lee Harvey Oswald was still on the CIA payroll?
Kash Patel:
- Said Epstein kiIIed himself.
- Said there is no Epstein list
- Said Israel is his “priority”
- Believes Charlie Kirk’s neck is made of steel
- Had his gf SUE Americans who criticise Israel
And here he is downplaying JFK’s assassination.

Very minor thing (I just finished the first region as I'm playing through very slowly) but Outer Worlds 2 having proper animations for a bolt action rifle (it's even clip fed) is a nice touch.

Cheney's death reminds me I didn't post about Kissinger either. Anyway, old age for people whose lives should have ended back against a wall is not justice, it's not revenge and it's not particularly catharsis either.

Some will watch this 24-addled nonsense and still pretend this isn't a perfectly predictable escalation from Bush II
Not true obviously, but you save more lives when you stop a vessel and arrest those aboard, alive, if they're actually trafficking drugs.
Instead of drowned bodies, you get useful intel about their criminal structures, their support networks, their finances, and future vessels.

I'd like to remind that at the time Wu did her transition with boutique therapists informed consent was already a thing in the North East and Central Canada.

"This hateful movement is trying to undo that legal status, denying me access to civil society I’ve enjoyed for 20 years.
They don’t seem to be able to process that they are trying to take away civil rights, but it’s literally what their mission is."

I know, trite and everyone loves them already but the full length radio stations in Outer Worlds 2 are excellent (also the OSI channel is imo the most listenable in the long run IMO, although the Protectorate one has the happiest song ever written about panopticons)

I think everytime Kasparov opens his mouth someone should remind him that he's one of the few idiots who believed Fomenko's New Chronology like reminding a victorious roman general that he was still mortal.

While he's dodging courts (while I'm sure some of that is status I suspect some of that is Peter Ball's former bff not wanting his own dirty laundry aired by his brother), Andrew is at the point where, in a less modern monarchy, he'd be politely asked to "do the right thing" to preserve family honor
UK will strip disgraced Andrew of last military position, minister says reut.rs/43Q8Y9I
UK will strip disgraced Andrew of last military position, minister says
Britain's former prince Andrew is due to be stripped of his last remaining military position as part of King Charles' decision to remove his brother from public life, the defence minister said on Sunday.

"If you play VtM you're a class enemy is still somehow a less brainwormed take than some of the stuff I got; someone once did a 180 on me from "vaguely interested in a chronicle I STed" to "all but directly calling me a degenerate for it"

The irony of the take is that a (dumb) reading of Dracula (that ignores Arthur Holmwood being a literal lord) is almost single handedly responsible for this even though most of the targets of the New England vampire panic (which hugely influenced the novel) were peasants.

My initial impression from finishing the intro last night and deciding to restart anyway later - in terms of breadth of the setting TOW1 to 2 feels a bit like Fallout 1 to 2. That said I actually liked the first one a lot.

Hush. It's not even that in Dracula where the boyfriend squad is gentry, gentry, literally a peer.

A lot of american nationalism is basically made invisible by the incredibly stupid way people get taught about nativism (aka no the irish and italians weren't considered poc, that kind of nativism is just also part and parcel of older US nationalism alongside the racism)

I have no idea what Carney was banking on - either the NDP caving (even though they have nothing to lose and several stronghold seats that are probably layups after a year of Carney) or Poilievre to not try to pull a Harper even though Harper also torpedoed one of the most right wing lib PMs

I know some people fucking loathe Starship Stormtroopers as an essay but the bottom line that War scifi as a genre is almost effortlessly recuperable by fascists is still basically true.
NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post
One: "abhorrent”
Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

I love that centrists are basically using the "wine mom protestor" to concoct some ideological Galatea figure of a liberal woman corporate lawyer who happens to be both radical and aligns otherwise with all their ideological priors (you could barely fill a stadium with corporate lawyers)

Is it incredibly racist? yes.
Is it kinda funny after Cuomo boosted the kind of takfiri who probably think 9/11 was based to call Mamdani a fake muslim? Also yes.

I love fictional theology when it's done somewhat interestingly and more than a mere loredrop as far as worldbuilding goes, especially when there's some proper cults.
