The new weird whole milk obsession absolutely has some kinda corrupt quid pro quo driving it, but ultimately it feels harmless compared to the quackery they could be pushing, so it's almost a relief.

These people got their way. It has resulted in a devastating trade war, America on the verge of war with NATO over fucking Greenland, and rabid, roving packs of murderous slave-catchers on the streets of our cities
They should never be listened to, or permitted to exercise power, ever again

As usual, the story here isn't about "divides" or cosmopolitan elites looking down on rural populations. It is about radicalization. This woman wants violent vengeance for things that did not happen.

As these films go on they increasingly feel like someone explained Vampire: the Masquerade to the screenwriter in great detail but forgot to mention they were vampires

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

one thing i like about cyberpunk 2077 is that, even though all the lines are the same, the two V voice actors treat the character in dramatically different ways.
for example, while woman V is extremely cool and suave, dude V is the biggest fucking dork on the planet and dumb as a box of rocks

V being hunted like a dog through the cynosure complex by the robotic manifestation of all his bad choices when suddenly Panam texts asking if she can hang out at his place. he tries to ignore the approaching footfalls and guttural howling of Songbird's sundered consciousness to reply "Glen ; )"

Participation trophies discourse was the origin point of every "Blame millenials for market forces outside their control" Headline that followed.
There is also a metaphor here in that most people my age knew that participation ribbons (never saw any trophies) were an embarrassing monument to being a loser, but the boomers that invented the ribbons and thrust them upon us were apparently tricked, not getting that awards have meaning.

it's gonna be so funny if the left behind series was essentially a cassandrine documentary-prophecy, and none of the people who ever read it or even wrote it can recognize its being fulfilled before their eyes
it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN
!["Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!"
"I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house."
"This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed.
"I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied.
"I will arrest you!" the officer threatened.
"Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned.
"I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward."
"Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship."
"You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?"
"Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreibjwvcxk2ptdafgbwfhk4rjalweyoz3d55gl72qhwhiudhu6aywcm@jpeg)

If you don't have at least one of these kinds of posts during a playoff game when your team is playing, are you really a fan?
the referees have become a third team on the field and if the nfl doesn't do something about it so many of these games stop having meaning

I am the exact kind of pedantic nerd that would make this kind of argument if it were true, but I am also old enough to have used these. And yes, we just called them floppies. Almost nobody actually said diskette.
there is a woman on TikTok who has been arguing for months now with randos that keep insisting that nobody called 3.5" disks "floppy disks" or "floppies" at the time. it's weird. no matter what kind of proof she provides or how many agree with her, people are coming out of the woodwork to disagree

There was a post on here a while back about the phenomenon of how chuds you've just met (ubers, etc) will sometimes deliver an out-of-pocket racist/misogynist statement; either as a shibboleth or to otherwise 'put a shot across the bow.'
Woke 2 will see the libs increasingly embrace this behavior.

Today I went to lunch at middle school with my son, and on the way out I was talking with one of the other moms, and in talking about how bad things are, she leaned over unbidden and whispered “I hope [It Happens]” except she didn’t say “it happens.”
honestly do not like the raw simmering rage and disgust that i experience day to day

What strikes me is how not alarmed she is. Because a reasonable human being in this country didnt used to expect an agent of the state pulling a gun over this level of interaction.
The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
