The soldiers in Stargate are shockingly chill about a bunch of bronze age teenagers taking their guns.

When Snake Pliskin freaks out it's just because he's "unreasonably" traumatized by his kid dying playing with his sidearm.

Wild movie.

With his new comedy show and debut novel, is it time to let Louis C.K. force women to watch him masturbate again?
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

So it’s family movie night and we’re near the end of Fantastic 4 and one of the characters appears to die and I’m all ready to be soothing and comforting like a good parent and that’s when the seven year old shouts “I GUESS NOW THEY’RE THE FANTASTIC THREE!”

I’m super proud of myself for not giving into the temptation of not finishing BallxPit

Games I’ve been tempted to play instead:
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Skyrim (idk)
- Bananza
- Hades 2
- Expedition 33 Round 2
- Pokemon Z-A (next to finish up)
- Stanley Parable

But I’ve stayed with it so far!!!

Even when Mega City One is under such grave threat, Joe Dredd still has the good humour to make a pun referencing the title of a police procedural TV series from a hundred and twenty years ago.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Was digging through old screenshots and remembered the manbaby FPS Police that would catalogue any games locked at 30fps, and beyond the "get over yourself" nature of it the list was full of, like, turn-based strategy games, visual novels, dating sims, point and click adventures, hidden object games

the worst part is that for the people at the top "good at math"/sciencey is essentially a vibe one socially codes their way into by being minimally competent at informally discussing things actual math/science people do, unless (e.g.) Elon Musk has proven a theorem I didn't hear about.
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population.
