This will happen, and it will largely require strident condemnation from the people to whom that word refers. We won't be able to really make it land unless the people affected by it are the ones leading the charge on that.

Feels grimly inevitable that one of these guys just says the n word in the open and whether they get away with it will be an inflection point.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE.

why is that?

what purpose does this serve?

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Those who didn't believe they were just trolling were squashed by decent society. Driven out of jobs, doxed, marginalized, and cast of civil society.

"Not my Jimmy" the parents would say about their son who posted memes of trans women getting tossed from helicopters.

Between this and the revelation that The Escapist is also a gambling content site now I think it's fair to conclude that

A) Games journalism is no longer seen as viable by Money People
B) More terrifyingly, gambling is getting culturally normalized and is becoming a demo of people to market to.

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

i find the porn app thing so disturbing because i assume the son is still taking himself to town & doing something weird like swapping his sim card or using a porn burner phone & i can’t imagine making that much of my masturbatory life about my dad. a real gross “don’t think about elephants” sitch.

No actually, fuck that.

We're building the best fuckin zoo in the world. Why stop at horses when I can just be the eccentric zoo owner who spent 7 garrilion dollars to make the San Diego Zoo look like shit.

Also Im still smart enough to not think I can talk to lions.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?
