I love the fact that this moment never got retconned to make more sense. Just let it be weird.

This was unironically my first thought and it took me a second to even consider this may be about something else.

They aren't fine. They aren't fine at all.

They've unironically made this argument. Lol

An awful and hilarious Andrew Tate tweet: "Any man who has sex with women because it feels good is gay."

RZA from Wu Tang Clan has a song called Kaiju that samples the Mothra song. Totally worth listening to.

You're forgetting exhausted and impoverished. The majority of people in the US live paycheck to paycheck, and couldn't feasibly sustain a strike for an extended period of time. Which is intentional.

Tank! goes so hard. The whole Cowboy Bebop soundtrack does, really.

I gotta say Snake Eater even though I love it.

Is 3 a more consistently good game than 4? Yeah. Does it have the best soundtrack? No doubt.

But would I trade away all the Big Boss prequels in exchange for getting to keep more Solid Snake and Otacon content? Absolutely.

According to the free market ideology, the correct price for life-saving medicine or procedures is slightly below the point where you'd rather just die instead.

I understand. I see that a lot. They'll do anything to avoid asking more of their elected representatives, and they'll blame anyone but the candidate and the party leadership for how successful their campaign is.

Nathan Pinion @nathanpinion.bsky.social · 3d

Those are all certainly words.

Absolutely. Assuming we even have an election at all, we don't do anyone any favors by picking a shitty, milquetoast corporate moderate and demanding everyone get behind him three years before the election when there hasn't even been a primary.

Getting a lecture from a MAGA dipshit about being manipulated is like getting a lecture from a great white shark on the benefits of going vegan. It's like Genghis Kahn preaching pacifism. Like Brock Turner explaining consent. You're like Jeffrey Dahmer lecturing everyone on ethically sourcing food.

Not just one issue. Newsom sucks absolute ass on trans rights, terrorized homeless people, venerated Charlie Kirk, is pro-israel, is funded by tech billionaire donations. Frustrating that people are already bitching about folks criticizing him. It's 2025. There hasn't even been a primary.

Nathan Pinion @nathanpinion.bsky.social · 3d

No. He has passed an incredibly low bar that many of his colleagues have not, plainly voicing opposition to the Fascist govt. He's still a transphobic opportunist who criminalized homelessness. He doesn't even write his own sassy viral tweets, a team of people led by a woman smarter than him does.

Well, there was this real piece of shit named Joseph McCarthy, and there have been decades of capitalist propaganda.

That would be nice, and I'll give credit to any cops who do resist, but here in the real world the police cannot be trusted, and many of them are just as racist and violent as ICE.

The only word that adequately describes this marketing is "rad".
