The Ides Of Marx

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

The Ellison family doesn't nearly get the attention that the likes of Bezos or Musk get, but they are just as sinister.

They have now changed it to "password"

It's just such a transparent con. But then again, what isn't?

Bill Gates is still widely seen as a philanthropist, despite all of his endeavors being about self-serving patent hording and keeping global south development dependent on global north corporations. And now you can add climate denialism to the mix.

The bad news is that *even in the current climate* liberals, capitalists, and mainstream media will form a united front with the fascists to oppose a center-left candidate.
The good news is that they can be defeated.

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Once you realize that, everything becomes clear.

Every few weeks me and all Americans I follow play a little game.

They post words that make no sense to me and I have to figure out whether they talk about Baseball or American Football this time.

You can really tell how detached the rich and powerful are from the lived reality of the majority of people.

It's like when they talk about how the economy is doing great, as if that benefits anyone but them.

Anna von Hausswolff - Iconoclasts

Anna von Hausswolff is one of these artists, that I've been meaning to make some time for, for a while. And my god, is the Jazz-Prog-Pop symphony of "Iconoclasts" one hell of an introduction.

Richard Nixon once said "If the president does it, it means that it is not illegal". And for all the outrage that statement caused, his successors have only proven him correct. From solo starting wars to extrajudial killings (including of US citizens), they were never punished for any overreach.

At this point it's almost adorable to see US-Americans talk about whether something Trump does is constitutional or not, as if that even matters anymore.

He doesn't care. The question is not, is it legal, but will breaking these laws actually have any consequences for him?

/Watching a gleaming, high-contrast, seven-fingered Orson Welles absolutely nail every line of the Paul Masson champagne commercial as written while people phase in and out of each others' bodies behind him "Thanks, I love it."

I don't think any of the many, many theories about how the death of capitalism would play out, were able to predict how utterly ridiculous it would get.

Vanquish sits right next to Binary Domain at the top of my 7th Gen Pile of Shame.

Hallo, ich habe hier "ein entsprechendes Dokument", das klar belegt, dass mein eigenes Verbrechen irgendwie nicht ganz so illegal war.
Warum kommen nicht alle Massenmörder auf diese Idee?

In feudal Japan they at least had the decency to disembowel themselves after such humiliation...

Oh boy!

I think a lot of especially older people just pick a party and stick with it for the rest of their lives.

My parents always vote for the German Greens, even though that party has long abandoned the principles that make my parents vote for them. They even acknowledge that, but vote for them anyway.

...and it's also setting the planet on fire.

Wow, it's hard to keep track of all the ways LLMs are terrible. 😅

It's hard to overstate what an absolute dud this technology is.

But hey, I'm sure it is not going to backfire that entire economies are now largely sustained by investment into a sycophantic, hallucinating plagiarism machine. 😬

Far from her best work, but still pretty good

sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing.

find your people and build something real.

I'm enjoying "Ghost Of Yotei" a lot, but the "puzzles" in the Kitsune area feel like they are designed for 4-year-olds.

It's wild how directing pink films is the Japanese equivalent to working for Roger Corman in the US. Gave the world great filmmakers like Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Shinji Somai.

"A House Of Dynamite" is to Sidney Lumet's "Fail Safe" what the Ice Cube "War Of The Worlds" is to its previous versions.

Just a pompous, empty and repetitive slog. I usually have a soft spot for Kathryn Bigelow's films, despite their garbage ideology, but this one just straight up sucked.
