A Cup of Squids

I mean, the fact that they're *both* women means the sexism will cancel out, right?

Yeah, even if folks are in a "have some concerns" space with regards to trans issues, the amount of folks out there who are full-on Rowling-pilled single issue anti-trans voters is minimal. If you can help them afford rent and groceries, almost all of them won't care about your trans stance.

I think there are places that will allow you to trade in your common men for epics and potentially even legendaries if you have enough of them

They see a left that in their mind has been calling everyone with an R next to their name a fascist for the last 50+ years, and they've been "wrong" every time so far; what are the odds they're "right" now?

Like, they're not perfect parallels: there wasn't a QAnon style cult around W, but I think to "normie" right wing people, the QAnon folks are just weirdos who like their guy, and Donald is just another pro-business pro-America Republican protecting them from left-wing excesses and hysteria.

A thing I keep thinking about: I think right wing media has cooked the brains of those who've been immersed in it so thoroughly that to a lot of them, Donald is basically GW Bush: a funny kinda dumb guy they'd want to hang out with, but who those pinko leftists they don't like insist is a fascist.

But if the standard is literally anybody but Donald, to where someone who is certain to be worse seems like a preferable option, then I'm sorry, but those sneering MAGA rubes are right: Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, and you have it.

I get the sentiment; Donald sucks, and we need him out of there. And we can absolutely have a discussion around whether the kind of soft, center-left-with-an-emphasis-on-center neoliberalism of a Gavin Newsom, the same stuff that led us to the doorstep to fascism, is worth voting for.

Counter-counterpoint: as bad as Donald is for the country, I can't imagine his plans are worse than what Satan would have in mind. Like, I'm pretty sure I read about what a Satan presidency would look like in the Bible, and it was... pretty bad. Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth '28 is a no from me.

Like, we already have a society that distributes participation/benefits unequally based on wealth (which is itself heavily influenced by race); cutting out the middle man and making the distribution explicitly racial is not going to fix anything, and if anything just going to make things worse

If your "great society/culture" is only great if you restrict access to participation and/or benefits to a small subset of people, your society/culture actually sucks

Unless it's a shiny of course, in which case it'll be a slightly darker shade of blue

This sort of childlike insistence that 1) only the left has agency, and 2) the right are all being pulled reluctantly into fascism because leftists are such meanies, is hilariously naive, and would be almost sweet were it not for what it's being used to manufacture consent for.

Didn't expect the face of the youthful resistance to look like the Numa Numa guy here in the year of our lord 2026, but I'll take it. Maiya-hee, comrade

I'm a big fantasy genre, RPG, and puzzle guy, but completely missed the Legend of Zelda games growing up. Gave Breath of the Wild a try on the recommendation of a friend, and enjoyed it mildly, but ended up bouncing off of it pretty hard after a few hours.

President Trump pardons Klecko, Newton, Lewis, Henry, Cannon President Donald Trump on Thursday pardoned former NFL players Joe Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon on Thursday.

Donald pardons three former NFL players convicted of drug trafficking (and one for insurance fraud, because game recognize game), but tell me again how he really cares about protecting US citizens from drugs and needs to blow up ships in the Caribbean to do it. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

As good as this could be, I worry that it may be just because they're planning something big elsewhere. I immediately thought of the grounding of all flights in and out of El Paso. Anywhere they go will be bad, but the damage they could do somewhere people can't leave will be catastrophic.
