If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Welp, feeling vindicated that they still don't have my money for this game and will probably never get it from me again.
For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.
She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

This is my most old headed opinion and every major city in the nation would dramatically benefit from doing so
Not kidding when I say they should fund the free buses by actually enforcing driving and parking rules. Walk around any neighborhood of NYC for an hour and you will witness ~30 ticketable offenses. Everyone will get around faster if people follow the rules. Iron-fist it. Cameras on every stoplight.
Hochul has said she would neither support a plan that would deprive the MTA of a key revenue stream — fares — nor would she raise taxes to make up for the missing swipes.

Maybe the single most destructive, stupid, and dangerous piece of domestic policy put forth in the 21st century
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

It's just really funny that they're suddenly going to start exclusively investigating Democrats now, when all of this began because they tried to quietly close the book on investigating Epstein, claimed there was nothing at all to see, and started the process of pardoning Ghislane Maxwell.

God we are so doomed. What the hell were they thinking
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

"Epstein didn't kill himself" was always a suspiciously popular mantra for right wingers and while I was never a conspiracy guy about it (or anything really) it feels like we're weeks away from finding out that it was a feint to mask that Trump had him murdered

The ontological crisis of our time is that the President is one of the most thoroughly morally bankrupt human beings alive and this is only clear to generously 50% of the population
