Huge point being made here by Frankie. And it made me think, would the voters of Maine be more or less into Nazi tat man if instead he had a detailed, anatomically correct, erect rod tattooed on his chest?

Barrage, solo, with Automa, which crushed me. I don’t think the gold as Victory Points works in this. It makes some contracts into ~25 point swings. I led by about 20 after round 3 of 5 and lost by 80.

In general, I think Barrage is too β€œtight.” It’s too hard to do anything.

The character actor playing Leo in this is amazing. John Glover and Clarence William III are both great; as you’d expect; but this guy is amazing in his sweaty needy glory.

Watching 52 Pick-Up, and Roy Scheider is my age when filming this and he looks likes fruit leather. He’s handsome! But wow, cigarettes and no sunscreen pickled his whole generation. πŸŽ₯ πŸ“½οΈ

No Nazis. No Nazi-curious dudes. No Nazism-was-a-phase-in-college guys. No Hey-let’s-hear-out-Nazis-on-this-one milquetoasts.

BELIEVE IN THINGS. BELIEVE WE CAN DO BETTER. VOTE FOR CANDIDATES THAT WANT CHANGE AND WILL FIGHT FOR IT EVEN IF THEY DON’T WIN.

Only 4 more years to 2030, when GHOST IN THE SHELL is set. Going to invest in maillot and thigh-high futures before the big police uniform overhaul.

Pretty sure they arrested my Crow Creek auntie @ Whipple today. They arrested two Native women who were praying.

I think you can worry about American Islamophobia without minimizing American antisemitism. People literally shoot up synagogues in this country, it’s not an imaginary problem or a matter of microaggressions against bourgeois knowledge workers, which is how I see fellow leftists describing it

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

often, algorithms detect that I'm a dude and then try to serve me what they think dudes like and thus i have to endure a form of psychic damage as they try to show me the world's most boring shit.

Dealing with the reality that I might have to move myself and my family from this place to be safe. Who will take us? Who could want us?

For what it’s worth (nothing) I am an 11th-generation Anglo. My ancestor beat the Pilgrims here by 30 years.

In many ways, I am the problem. It’s fitting to go

j street and the new jewish agenda so far are the only two mainstream national jewish organizations that have said anything approximating "the right thing in this situation"

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.
