Aside from the obvious bigotry, a George Strait halftime show would suck. The halftime show needs to have energy, it needs to get people moving, it needs to be so incredible that you go back and watch it again on YouTube instead of watching the rest of the game. George Strait doesn't have that

"The petition is a reflection of the political divide and xenophobia Bad Bunny’s Latino heritage and lyrics in Spanish have ignited, along with his political views on immigrant rights amid the government’s deportation policies."

I think the moment everything changed was when politicians figured out social media. It's been downhill ever since

The signing bonus shows that during a time of immense struggle, when financial hardship is ruining the lives of so many Americans, when people are having to accept starvation as their new norm, ICE still struggles to find a number high enough.

Honestly this shit about Spotify is really relieving to me. If ICE recruitment is working so poorly that they have to interrupt music to tell you about how rich they're willing to make you to kidnap your neighbors, it confirms they're just as unpopular as I suspected.

The unfettered right to vote is as American as motherhood, baseball and apple pie.

It's the cornerstone of our democracy.

The attitude that leads to them finding AI a suitable replacement for women is the same attitude that makes them need AI for this purpose, because if grok can replace women for you, you never valued women at all.

AwhRyan @awhryan.bsky.social · 6d

And yes, I specifically mention women, because it's almost entirely young men who view women as sex objects who are the ones happy about these recent developments, who are asking grok to make the boobs bigger.

AwhRyan @awhryan.bsky.social · 6d

It's the behavior of a person who has pushed away anyone who could ever love them, has pushed away anyone who could ever be paid to fuck them, has become so irreparably ugly inside that real women are off-putting or unattainable to them to such a degree that they can only find comfort in AI.

I'm struggling to find the words to describe someone who needs AI porn to cum. Nothing I can come up with is fully accurate. Lame, loser, degenerate, incel, none of them feel like they fully capture what it must be like to need the AI woman to bounce her pixel tits for you.

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

Okay so Kristi Noem kills a puppy and it's totally fine and just what you have to do sometimes but Hasan allegedly uses a shock collar and conservative "dog lovers" are ready to draw and quarter him.

AwhRyan @awhryan.bsky.social · 12d

Doesn't help that the conservative narrative about left wing people for years has been a bunch of lazy do-nothing gay hippies. Good luck getting the average guy to be scared of that

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 12d

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Carney seemed cool in the moment as a guy who would stand against trump, but like he is right wing. He's not far right, but he is just right enough where he can talk about putting aside his differences with a fascist for the sake of capitalism.

We’re focused on building these new opportunities.

Typically I'd say making fun of politicians on social media doesn't really do anything and can't be called activism, but this administration is so chronically online that something as simple as a joke about couches or sombreros makes them really really upset and I think it actually is working

Game Pass was what I would use to try out new games and figure out if I wanted to buy them. It's why I bought dredge, because that time I spent playing it on game pass made me really want to support the developers by buying the game. I'm not getting a sample of a game for $20. Just not happening.

One awful aspect of #GamePass increase no one is talking about...

Players will no longer try "creative games they don't know about" because they'll have to justify the high cost of their subscription. Only safe bets. Last nail in the coffin of small indies for GamePass.

I don't care if they're undocumented. I also don't care if they're criminals. If they are going to die, they should be treated. How do we have democratic politicians stressing the importance of free healthcare for all so much during this shutdown while also distancing themselves from this.
