I'm still a real cool guy. If you're a zionist, go ahead and block me. It'll save me the trouble.

I'm doing costume (pixel art sheets that overwrite the main character) commissions for the Make A Good Mega Man Level Trilogy! Once completed, you just need to unzip the files into your game folder and equip the costume in-game!

Payment on delivery, contact me if you're interested!

Noah Smith seems to now believe that accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, something which is now the consensus of all major human rights organizations on the planet as well as the International Association of Genocide Scholars, is comparable to the 2020 election denialism of the GOP.

He also chose not to enact policies that would help the average person financially recover from the 2008 crash, ensuring roughly a decade of economic stagnation that fostered middle and lower class resentment and insecurity that was easily funneled into reactionary causes.

Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure:

- no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis
- no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture
- no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber
- refused to reform the filibuster
- drone wars expanded

obama ramped up the use of drone strikes (10x more than bush!) and deported a record number of immigrants. he helped maintain and expand the systems trump is now using to do his crimes

I doubt he was ever a perfect ally or anything, but right up until he became a presidential hopeful he was pro gay marriage, then all of a sudden he wasn't. Then he flipped back once the polls told him to.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Oh it's so much worse than that. He was homophobic and transphobic because he thought the wind was blowing the other way. It was expedient career-minded bigotry, which is why he flipped back so easily.

In my many years playing the Inazuma Eleven series, I had never seen this happen before. They are legendary veterans for a reason, huh?

I made social media accounts to see art and make friends and shitpost, and that's actually been super successful for me. I did not make social media accounts to analyze politics, explain the political establishment's rhetorical strategies, or explain fascism but I feel obligated to.

Don't let the awful sci fi nerds try to claim Jurassic Park isn't horror just because it's good. They do this with everything.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 1d

This is 100% correct, and Jurassic Park features one of the single most tense scenes in any blockbuster movie, with the entire kitchen sequence. Nailbiting stuff. If you wanna watch it for Halloween, it definitely gets my thumbs up.

Japan has those weird ass classes where they teach you to be a good citizen, we should incorporate those into the US curriculum. Also the US should have schools I think.

Finished up my review of 30XX, a game I bought yonks ago & finally circled back to. VERY glad I did, even if the game called me out hard for being a total scrub.

Steam Community :: ZMannZilla :: Review for 30XX

This game made me aware that I am, objectively, a scrub. There's an achievement for dying 50 times, and when I got it, I was informed it's a rare achievement with only 7% of the player base getting it...

This is one of the things I am so angry at the media about, the way that ordinary journalists went along with their absolutely frothing at the mouth colleagues and never thought to go "Uhhh, your friends are trying to change the law, does that not make YOU the activists?"

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 1d

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.

Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.

Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird

Media: trans activist criticizes media
