She and Kash don't argue. When they disagree with each other, they just spit at one another. Not in a hot way. There's an agent at the FBI whose job is just to clean the phlegm off the walls of the FBI jet.

Unsurprisingly, Kash Patel's girlfriend is stupid. Like really, really stupid. Painfully stupid. She probably causes brain freeze in normal adults just by looking at them.

She's a country singer. I've never heard her, but I know, with no doubt, that her lyrics are really stupid.

Ellison's failson can oversee the corpses for two networks bought with daddy's money. He can make increasingly stupid decisions and probably sink Warners in just a few years. DC, home of Superman and Batman for nearly 90 years can be pushed to the right and collapse as no one buys the material.

So are CNN and CBS just going to... die off? Wane and become totally irrelevant? Fox and even more far-right networks have the far right. They're not going to peel off that audience. CBS and CNN are going to hemorrhage viewers. Even the centrists won't stick around. Everyone hates the Ellisons.

No one actually likes Matthew Yglesias, do they? If he's married, his spouse probably pisses on Matt's side of the bed. His children try to hit him with claw hammers and justify it that Matt is punchable. His coworkers laugh maniacally then suddenly fall silent when Matt gets near.

I found myself wondering, "Why type of medical doctor is he?" Hobbes has two MAs in Arts. So he's a podcast bro who is probably unable to grasp a single medical research paper. But hey, his background in... European Studies... qualifies him as a medical expert. Kinda? Or maybe not at all.

This is pure, distilled cruelty. In Canada, it is carried out by Poilievre, Smith et al. because they are utter wretches, whose supporters are lost, vicious souls.

I do not believe in a hell. The torments that they deserve have to be inflicted in this life or not at all.

The only reason that parties, the NYT and media generally and huge swathes of our citizens are trying to attack trans people, is because they are morally horrific. Rorty said that cruelty is the worst thing we do. Cruelty is the intentional infliction of suffering to please the one inflicting it.

Poilievre is going on-in on racism. That party is loathsome. They are so full of bad policy and horrible people that they literally cannot pivot.

The Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, all knew about and covered up for coordinated, multi-decade child rape. That's the bottom line.

The child rape and the rapists were too valuable to expose and prosecute.

That the press and public isn't yelling at this incontinent, octogenarian rapist at each and every opportunity is a condemnation of that entire nation. It has taken decades for conservatives to crush the last vestiges of decency and accountability, but it's done. Everything is a pantomime.

The front cover of DC comics The Dakota Incident. Lex Luthor is up top, the trinity is on the left and Milestone heroes are on the side.

The front cover of DC comics The Dakota Incident. Lex Luthor is up top, the trinity is on the left and Milestone heroes are on the side.

I can't buy a hard copy of The Dakota Incident online, so I'm going to drag my son the the local comic shop next week and pick up a copy. DC has completely fucked up the Milestone universe and the Wildstorm universe since acquiring them.

Representation matters, but DC does not care whatsoever.

None of the reviewers noticed it, but Vanessa Kirby is really hot.

I'm the first to notice this, I imagine.

Shalla-Bal is a top-ten Marvel character. And what a great look.

He is a weak, frightened loser who is utterly too craven to deal with his portfolio. X should havd been banned for it's industrial-sxale production of CSAM.

I don't know why Fantastic Four wasn't more successful. This is a really strong movie. It looks great, the cast is very strong and the script is vastly better than most post-Endgame material.

Being in its own narrative universe and time very much helps this movie.

Damn... I didn't even think about the implications of gamma energy usage.

I feel a bit dumb.

Imagine the staggering degree of corruption that he would dare say that aloud. Only after a foreign government, with different interests that your own country, has thoroughly corrupted your state would a key politician make his allegiance to that foreign state open.

That's super charming and I love games that are both cozy and creepy. Very nice aesthetic.

The Atlantic is one of those publications that puts out reasonably solid material to mask a constant stream of bullshit.

I love the Steam NextFest, but I am finding the same thing. I refuse to ever support AI slop. And I hate having to weed it out.

It's ridiculous that we're wasting incalculable resources TO MAKE THINGS WORSE. AI makes everything worse, wherever it touches. It's the reverse Midas touch.

I'm sorry. Scheer and every CPC member are just miserable, lying fuckers. I used to have a measured view of people I disagree with. But the UCP/CPC/Wildrose cohort? I loath them.

Poilievre will be all over this. He's a Bannon acolyte: he floods the zone with bullshit. Poilievre's social media posts are full of incoherent praise sucking him off and fascism-lite otherwise. If he can keep weaponizing lies, he will. The man has no shame. None. He's a broken human being.

If international coverage of Israel was at all honest, this type of thing would be reported as the insane war-mongering that it is.

There should be a recognized liberty to declare bullshit on this type of thing.

"3000 years ago..."
"That's bullshit."

The unknowable isn't a basis for policy.

The Steam forum for Pragmata is just one pedophile dogwhistle after another. These people are the worst.

Pedophiles have grouped together and support one another in their sickness. The Steam forums for Pragmata are openly full of sexual offenders. It's vile.

And they're disingenuous little liars. When called out, the act shocked, SHOCKED, that you'd think they were pedophiles. I hate them all.
