On the nature of darkness:

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

Not a single one of these psychos cares even a little bit about the people being bombed. I hate them all

Chuck Schumer post on X reading: When I talked to Secretary Rubio, I implored him to be straight with Congress and the American people about the objectives of these strikes and what comes next. Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home. The administration has not provided Congress and the American people with critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat. Confronting Iran’s malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity. Unfortunately, President Trump’s fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy. The administration must brief Congress, including an immediate all senators classified briefing and in public testimony, to answer these vital questions. The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act. My prayers are with our brave American servicemembers.

Here's Schumer literally just now on X.

The machine is doing what it has done for the last 125 years in Mexico,China, the Philippines, Haiti, Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq and Nicaragua. The lofty justifications change as a matter of convenience, but the objectives are the same. Securing earthly territory and extracting earthly wealth.

I remember hearing "fundamentalists are trying to trigger doomsday" stuff during the Iraq war, and I'm sure there are insane fundamentalists in all ranks of the government, but it seems really weird to see a machine doing exactly what it was designed to do and say "it has been hijacked by cultists"

Dumb, soulless little baby-men. Insecure freaks.

If you killed 85 children, I guess I do think a just society would tear your ribcage out. I pretty much do think that

Fool Me Twice: The Case for War With Iran Is Even Thinner Than It Was for Iraq The Trump admin can't seem to settle on a reason for war with Iran. That hasn't stopped them from planning a war without a "why."

The case for invading Iraq was based on lies. The Trump administration’s case for war with Iran hardly exists at all.

I see it as a problem that the leader of the Senate Democrats supports attacking Iran, which is the situation behind all these windy words, leading to the conundrum of how Schumer can say he opposes something he likes (he's settled on 'it was done without explanation').

holy fuck

This posting sucks.

"star wars? nope. yoda? yup" says more in 5 words than most people can do in 500. e40 kicks ass

Me and the lads in the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra are staging a heist to steal this. And yep, we're gonna smoke it.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

Used to be that robber barons would give away vast sums of wealth to charitable causes to launder their reputations. Now the billionaires just try to control the narrative by buying up the media companies

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

what a cruel fucking fate. i think before the evil guy soaked up all his SEO there was already a famous golfer of the same name

And featuring me, in the role of 5 guys who sound like me, and one guy who sounds like me doing a crazy voice
