Yeah, a lot of people keep telling me, “Oh, the MAGA cult will just believe whatever he tells them,” and sure, some of them will, but others only go along with it because they’re convinced Trump is about to expose the, “deep-state cabal.” They have a fictional Trump in their head that they will protect at all costs, even from real-world Trump. (…and then they’ll probably claim that real-world Trump is a cloned body double and the real Trump is recuperating in a medbed and planning his triumphant return or something).

The dude died suddenly in Gettysburg with the Annabelle doll while on the Devil’s on the Run tour. This is so stupid, but one day it’s gonna make an awesome horror movie.

This dude looks like Seinfeld if he spent 5 years in a Siberian Gulag.

I honestly don’t know too much about him except that he was a Gaurdian Angel founder and he took over the Reform Party.

This is what I’ve been trying to explain to people for a few days now. Grifters like Charlie Kirk or Dinesh D’Souza will just go along with whatever Trump says on Epstien. They never believed in or cared about QAnon and the conspiracy bullshit. They opportunistically picked it up when it was useful, they’ll drop it now that it’s inconvenient, and a big chunk or MAGA will listen to them.

But guys like Alex Jones, who, if he isn’t actually a die-hard true-believer, at least knows that his audience is entirely die-hard true-believers, will not do that. They have staked everything on a made up story about satanic pedophiles that started with Comet Ping-Pong and ended with Jeffery Epstien, and they can’t just drop it. That is another large chunk or MAGA, and it will go to war with anyone, even Trump, to keep their delusion going.

I mean, that was gross, but I thought it did fit her character. She was a traumatized orphan with a dark past and sever attachment issues. It made sense to me that she would try replace D’Argo as quickly as possible rather than cope with or process that loss. I get why that put you off though, it was not a high point for her character.

Surprised I had to go this far for Farscape.

Good point, but I think there was probably a better narrative of, “We’re trying to release what information we can, but it looks like the Biden/Democrats destroyed the evidence!” The thing is, Trump was never really the guy crafting these narratives. Q and Q influencers were. Telling people he was going to release the Epstien files and then telling people the Epstien files don’t exist was his first attempt at making his own conspiracy narrative, and it did not go well.

And God bless the French, they will burn Paris to the fucking ground for this. Meanwhile, in the U.S., congress just decimated what little public healthcare we have, and guys with Gadsden flag profile pics and handles like, “1776patriot,” actively cheered them on.

There are two things you need to understand, so please take them to heart. The first is that you read two sentences of criticism about a Democrat and extrapolated an entire fictional person from them. All of the opinions you believe I have about Democrats, Republicans, “both sides,” and my standards aren’t mine, but a made up character’s, who you are arguing with inside your own head.

The second thing is, while you are welcome to go through my comment history, I really don’t need any apology from you. I sincerely could not give a fuck about what you think.

“orange man bad” is the response from someone who is literally defending what trump is doing because they don’t like–in this case–obama.

The fuck are you talking about? No one here is defending Trump. The only reason we’re even talking about him is because you brought him up in a cynical, transparent attempt to deflect criticism from Obama.

And no, I’m not going through my comment history to prove to you that I’m sufficiently anti-Trump, but you’re welcome to do it yourself if you want. I’m sure it won’t take you long to find example of me calling him or his administration fascist. See, when you grow up, you learn that not everything is a binary, and that criticism of Democrats isn’t support for Republicans.

Right. So, my point was that, while calling for unity between leftists and centrists within the party, Obama is actively promoting the centrists’ abundance platform, which makes that call for unity ring hollow. And your point is…“yeah, but orange man bad!”

Well, thank you for that contribution. It’s given me a lot to think about.

So…Socrates?

“There’s been, I gather, some argument between the left of the party and people who are promoting the quote-unquote abundance agenda. Listen, those things are not contradictory. You want to deliver for people and make their lives better? You got to figure out how to do it,” he said.

“I don’t care how much you love working people. They can’t afford a house because all the rules in your state make it prohibitive to build. And zoning prevents multifamily structures because of NIMBY,” he said, referring to “not in my backyard” views. “I don’t want to know your ideology, because you can’t build anything. It does not matter.”

Claims that leftists and abundance Dems need to work together, then immediately starts promoting the abundance agenda. What a transparent shill.

Fucking love this polling. The only shot the establishment has is either Adams or Cuomo dropping out and endorsing the other. Cuomo won’t quit because he’s a sociopathic narcissist. Adams can’t quit because if he can’t do Trump’s bidding in NYC, Trump will probably prosecute him for corruption (and he is very guilty of corruption). Throw Silwa into the mix and the moderates will have to choose between two corrupt megalomaniacs and a weirdo in a beret, while anyone remotely progressive will gravitate towards Mamdani.

This complaint is such an admission. They can’t point to a single similarly between Israel and the bad guys in the movie except, “nation with technology advanced weaponry being deployed against unarmed civilians,” and they’re not even disputing that that’s an accurate depiction of what’s happening. It’s not like they’re saying, “this movie parallels Hamas propaganda.” They’re saying, “depicting colonial genocide negatively is anti-Israel.”

It might just be when the playlist is collapsed or the lock-screen is on. I did just test it with the tab open and the playlist expanded and it seemed to work fine. Either way, I rarely use playlists, so it doesn’t come up much.

Shit, that’s a good one.

I think this is a miscalculation. 62% of Democrats want the leadership gone, the establishment Dems are splitting their vote between Adams and Cuomo, and nothing short of full-throated support of Israel will satisfy them anyway. There’s no point in appeasing an enemy that is weak, fractured, and belligerent. They pose no threat to him and he has little to gain from winning them over.

“Look how much variation there is when I compare 80 years if animation trends to 5 years of animation trends.”

Of course animation has trends. It’s not new. Just look at the Hanna-Barbara cartoons of this 60s, when cheaper animation designed for television replaced the Golden Age animation styles. Look how many of these characters are, “blockey-torsoed animals with a superfluous neck accessory that allows us to animate the head and body independently, which saves us time and money.”

It’s not limited to this one studio either. Look at the Rocky and Bullwinkle characters. Tell me, do these blocky, simplistic character designs have more in common with the Hanna-Barbara characters above or the rounded, more fluid designs of the Disney/Warner Brothers/MGM characters of the 40s?
