Like "Biden's Mom has got it goin' on?"

At least the Sora watermark means they aren't pretending that it's real.

That doesn't make it good, but it's less bad than trying to pass AI off as reality

In addition to everything else, games are, by design, winnable. They are set in a universe in which each problem has a direct, reachable solution.

The real world is FAR messier than most games.

I was glad to see a trans pride flag at No Kings this weekend.

And THAT is why he says it's not the country - to Trump "America" is a white, Christian man and the wife who meekly submits to him. It's nobody else.

This is why we'll win in the long run.

"not representative of this country" is the biggest crock of fecal matter. There people of ages, races, creeds. There were veterans, there were parents, there were grandparents. Men and women, straight and gay, cisgender and transgender.

The protests were a cross section of all of us.

Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."

Don't fuck with jugglers.
We're forged by endless bouts against gravity itself.
We do not give up.
We have balls.
We do not stop.
We are the terminators of the culture wars.

Let's read the cards

When we're feeling disconnected from our closest friends and allies it's time to work on ourselves. Today it's the practical - our skills, our craft.

It may take time and work, but soon we'll be ready to start new adventures with a strong foundation

Yes, all while his defenders are laughing at the NoKings rally because "America doesn't have a King"

I'm so sorry.

We're living through such a long, slow-motion (and sometimes fast motion) disaster.

I'm sure it's taking a toll on us all.

I'm addition to being fake, these are so shallow. It's never "I want a rewarding career and a partner who loves a d respects me and helps me be my best self", but " I want. A yacht and a convenally attractive woman on my arm as decoration"

Denny Carter @dennycarter.bsky.social · 1d

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Let's read the cards

Success, and confidence have lead us here - to a peak of inspiration and potential. We can feel it within us, which is wonderful because trials stand ahead.

Times will get hard, but we have the strength for the coming battles.

We'll come out the other side

Let's read the cards

No Kings day, and the cards know it. Our momentum is carrying us forward through our inspiration towards a collective victory.

Not much more to say here, except to show them who we are
