Politician: “Yes, very sorry for your children. How much money did you bribe me with last quarter? How many buzzwords did you bleat out at me at the dinner we had last month?

None? Okay, thanks for your time!”

Kirk did not deserve to be killed.

I won’t mourn him and no one else should because Kirk and many others like him on the right have been pouring gas on the fire that is violence in the US.

Had Hasan Piker or any other left wing commentator been shot, Charlie Kirk would have been crowd funding to get the shooter out on bail.

Said it in another thread. This person is a fucking sociopath and should be in prison.

“What was so important about that corpse?”

Just no conscious or empathy.

This person is a fucking sociopath.

Going to protests. Talking (yelling) with my friends and family about it. Donating to orgs that help marginalized people and others targeted by these fascists. Supporting independent journalists. Taking additional precautions to protect my privacy online. Closed my Meta and Twitter accounts. Making plans in case I need to shelter in place or evacuate my home. Giving every cybertruck I see the finger to remind them they’re not welcome. Stopped shopping at vendors that kissed Trumps ring. Avoiding travel to any Red states to deprive them of the tiniest bit of income.

Every little thing you can do matters but making people aware of this bullshit and organizing locally is the most important.

Everything Trump and Co are doing in DC and LA is just a trial run for Election Day in ‘26 and ‘28. They are 100% going to deploy armed forces to try and keep Trump/GOP in office and the country is just sleepwalking into this like voting is going to solve our problems.

All of their actions have lead to a catastrophic decline in American soft power sure. Make no mistake though that these techno-fascists will resort to using American military and technical power to destroy whoever gets in the way of their goals.

They see the rest of us as serfs to be subjugated to their divine intellect.

The AI studio ghibli images get my vote for most dystopian

Where’s the line for the public toilet (his grave)?

I love Star Wars and usually have a half decent time with Ubi games. You can usually pick them up for 50% off physical like a month after release.

I have never put down a game quicker than Outlaws. It’s Ubisoft open world map icon slop at its worst. The first 4 hours of story are boring and repetitive. Every mission was “sneak into an Imperial base, oh shit something went wrong! Now escape!” Progression and abilities might as well not be there.

Interest in SW isn’t waning. Companies keep making bad SW content.

Keep licking that boot corporate media.

Roundabout way to say “I’m a bad parent”.

I don’t have kids but pretty sure part of being a parent and forming a bond with your child is putting effort into raising them.

It’s a fucking concentration camp. Call it what it is AP.

The stolen art is a much bigger problem for Bungie in a legal sense. They (and other studios) put out mediocre shit all the time and promise to fix it. I’m sure the poor play test contributed but the stolen art is likely the cause for this delay.

They now have to scan every single asset in the game to make sure the stolen art is no longer there and that’s just the stolen art they know about. There might be more stolen art in there, who knows.

Now that the controversy is public the original artist could easily find a lawyer to go against Bungie if more stolen art is found in the final release. If Bungie gets sued they might have to pull the game from storefronts.

Lmao, Sheinbaum was regurgitating the “both sides” rhetoric the other day but sure, let’s try to justify an invasion of Mexico on top of shooting American citizens.

Everyone in that fucking room is a fascist sociopath.

Or to distract from the media’s complicity in getting him elected twice.

Someone is trying to sell a book (ie grift) about Bidens mental decline in his last year as president. As if that’s a good use of our time while we descend further into fascism. Never mind that Trump can’t string together a coherent thought most of the time.

Yes, the media is suppressing news of protests because most of the media companies are owned by billionaires who’ve kissed the ring.

The protests that are happening are also smaller and somewhat decentralized. The media likes a big show and these protests don’t get clicks or eyeballs on screens.

There are many smaller protests happening such as the ones outside Tesla dealerships literally everywhere. This is having an effect on Teslas stock but TBD if it’ll have a lasting effect.

People are also attending town halls with their congresspeople and getting confrontational. This has led to many representatives cancelling town halls or screening for only Republicans like fucking cowards. Chuck Schumer just canceled his book tour because he knows he’ll get run out of every city he shows up in after his capitulation.

Pro Palestine protests continue on campuses.

There’s a lot to dig into on why there isn’t a large mass protest like 2020 but my simple answer is that things aren’t bad enough yet.

People on the left need to stop peddling this “Trump stole the election” stuff. It plays right into his rhetoric about our elections being rigged and allows him to cry again whenever his side loses. The comment in the screenshot looks like a fucking bot anyway.

Dems didn’t dump Biden early enough and the average American voter is dirt fucking stupid. Plus you’re telling me there’s some sort of massive conspiracy to alter votes in 7 different states with separate election systems and no one blabbed?

While I agree that every accusation is a confession until we see some hard proof that’s peer reviewed I’m skeptical. We shouldn’t be focusing on the past anyway, it doesn’t solve our current problems. We need to focus on the present and future.
