Cost prohibitive. You‘d need like twelve bendy straws for that.

It’s like announcing your intent to drive drunk and you don’t care who you kill, running over and killing a man, and then gloating about how totally hammered you were. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t mean to run over Craig Wilson of Lincoln, Minnesota specifically.

It was an an “accident,” but functionally on purpose because Hegseth literally got rid of the make sure that’s not a school unit then bragged about it.

I think I've lost the plot with most pop culture franchises I grew up with as a kid. There are over a thousand Pokémon now. Dave Filoni tells me Glorbo the Shmperpfluggikger will be in the new Star Wars like I'm supposed to feel something other than bafflement.

This country has decided the amount of vulnerability it is willing to accept is "zero," and that's just not on the menu, frankly.

Yeah, imagine if instead of having to live with several thousand Russian, Chinese, and North Korean nuclear weapons pointed at me, I had to live with several thousand Russian, Chinese, and North Korean nuclear weapons pointed at me and also twelve Iranian nukes too.

I'm just saying if somebody killed my family, I'd be willing to make them pay two dollars more per gallon.

I kind of love how this makes it seem like Rotta is a respected elder actor. “I never dreamed I’d get to make a movie with Rotta the Hutt! I loved him in Romeo and Juliet”

Jessie and James hijack a community meeting to oppose high density housing! Giovanni is artificially inflating rent prices to squeeze the trainers into sealing their Pokemon!

The plot of a Pokemon game about an urban redevelopment plan

“Urban redevelopment plan” is the funniest plot for a RPG of all time. Team Rocket now really into NIMBYism.

Cyndaquil has been convicted of political deviancy and shot for premature antifascism. Anyway, meet your new coworker, Charpig or whatever.

Wehraboos in the military like “maybe peons of an insane fascist who could not translate operational success into strategic gains weren’t the best role models.”

Low key the biggest political asymmetry between the sides is if the USA destroys Iran's entire navy and air force, everyone will shrug and give the campaign a 3/5, it was okay in execution at best and if Iran shoots down a single stealth fighter or sinks a destroyer, they blew up the Death Star.

The POLITICS (tm) that will occur if Iran somehow actually manages to sink a U.S. Navy vessel will create discourse hitherto unimagined by man or beast.

This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!"

And after all that — including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers — it's being dropped.

It’s weird how I haven’t played a Pokémon game for twenty years until I played a little a few days ago. I think with so much uncertainty and craziness, sometimes you just want a cute little guy who can breathe fire. Or perhaps it’s just nostalgia as I am closer to middle age than youth now.

One step versus insane gymnastics

“I’m not comfortable in my identity as a man therefore I will become a woman” versus “SJWs are why my dick can’t hard so let’s elect a game show host to cause an energy crisis and this will fix video game journalism.”

Only half joking when I say “Republican male” is a queerer identity than “trans woman.”

I think people have an unfortunate tendency to view Republicans as God’s way of punishing liberals and the left rather than proponents of a political ideology in their own right.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

I mean yes, in the literal sense there’s been a sea change. That’s the problem.
