I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

A colloquial German word about someone viewed as low on intellect, especially popular in the 1990s, was Teletubbyzurückwinker. It means “one who waves back at the Teletubbies.”

I once heard a cutting assessment of someone’s intellect in Argentinian Spanish that went jugas al tetris y giras el cuadradito. It means “you spin the square tile on Tetris.”

“Insane” says Goodwin. We were in the throes of civil unrest & this twat told ppl to “Head for the hotels housing them and burn them to the ground”
Goodwin wants us to believe it was merely an “anti immigration tweet” rather than reality: incitement to riot/murder.

"Trade with the rest of the world" is perhaps the worst aged Brexit mantra.

The president is using this apparent family tragedy, which as far as we know had absolutely nothing to do with him, to convey the message that if his fans brutally murder his critics, they will receive his support and approval.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.
