You know what? I love Notorious. It's a game about bounty hunters doing bounty hunter stuff. Get ready to learn Desert Planet, buddy.

Watching Jessie Gender's SNW S3 video and she's a lot kinder to the writers than I am. I absolutely do think the writers share these politics. You don't accidentally stumble into these positions each episode.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

My favorite story is from a few years ago when billionaires were asking a guy how should they control their workforce after the world ends and inquired as to whether bomb collars or rigging the food pantry to explode could work.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

2012 was the first election where I was politically "are" and the media absolutely was not smearing Mitt Romney as Hitler. You're just making things up.
