I'm still salty over Daft Punk not even getting an Oscar nomination for the Tron Legacy OST.

Even the one place in Hollywood that (badly) pretends to be about the art instead of the commerce... couldn't give a shit about Tron.

Always important to point out that 99% of our idea of what Nazism was like is THE NAZIS' OWN PROPAGANDA.

Nazis were orderly, efficient, dignified & the pinnacle of human physique, because... that's what the Nazis said they were like, and would a Nazi ever lie to us?

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.

Nazis were always just like that it seems.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

These movies never accomplished anything more than "moderate success over multiple years" which wasn't even enough back in the days of reasonable budgets & sales predictions.

And we've abandoned "reasonable" over a decade ago by now.

Like, YES, I absolutely agree that Tron 3 flopping is probably more due to the sex pest none-actor who ruins every movie he stars in yet inexplicably is being pushed harder than even career-apex Johnny Depp ever was.

But also, like, from Disney's POV? Tron's just bad business. Always was.

In all honesty,

"Wow! The original Tron was a financial disappointment, and the second Tron was also kind of a financial disappointment, and the third Tron is an outright bomb? Maybe this shit just sucks and is worthless!"

isn't exactly an unreasonable take-away.

10 years ago, Amanda Marcotte was calling Bernie supporters a bunch of racist, sexist, spoiled rich kids and now she's trying to launder the history of the Young Republicans. el oh fucking el.

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · 7h

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

A good way to go insane is to reread stuff published in November 2008 www.independent.co.uk/voices/comme...

The Obama administration will have no difficulty in closing Guantanamo. But how can the US atone for the use of torture on Donald Rumsfeld's watch? By ratifying the Torture Convention, for a start. And then by taking an initiative that would, for the first time, provide a meaningful safeguard for its prisoners of war, namely by waiving its right to confidentiality in Red Cross prison visitation reports.

Greta was stripped and had soldiers film themselves with her while Israel's far-right minister Ben-Gvir screamed at her. Absolutely degrading sexual abuse and the Swedish foreign minister's reaction is essentially "she asked for it".

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

Remember just a few years ago when the entire press corps ridiculed Bernie Sanders for politely suggesting that billionaires have influence over the media properties they own?

And remember how none of them ever apologized or admitted he was absolutely right?

Good times.

I feel like you could only ever be shocked about that republican group chat leak if you were never on the receiving end of their hate. It's only a surprise if you didn't have them up in your replies, telling you the myriad ways they were going to execute you.

You don't get it unless you get it.

If I had a nickel for every Nintendo DS game that got a Steam rerelease this year, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

yeah the hack bad actors have discovered is that if you shout “cancel culture” loud enough nobody asks what you actually did to bring the hammer down on you

or, at least, you build enough of a different (worse) audience that it doesn’t matter

And, like, at no point does anyone stop to ask themselves if it is even possible to do all of this at once, or even do any one of these concepts justice when you just keep throwing shit at the wall.

Sure, some of it is going to stick - but that's because you created disgusting sludge.

It's super epic meaningful game tackling themes like war or sex crimes or assassinations!

But it's also silly irreverent teenage drama haha look we're all just having fun!

But it's also super self-aware and constantly winking at the audience!

But it's also super simple so kids can play it uwu!

Metaphor: ReFantazio is actually a good reference point here for so many other reasons.

Digimon games are pretty much going through the exact same fucking identity crisis that Persona is stuck in & unwilling to resolve, it's so fucking sad.

I don't exactly expect better from a goddamn Digimon game (or really any mainstream video game (or really any video game, period)), but it's still cringeworthy all around.

Especially after already playing so many other games with ultra dogshit stories these years, that frustration adds up.
