Is it just me or does it feel like just about every single industry is in a self-inflicted death spiral? Seriously. Tell me one sector that feels like it's really thriving in late-stage capitalism, other than, apparently, billionaire pedophiles and war criminals?

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

The final image which appeared as the cover to the game was heavily modified by the marketing department, reiterating why I do not make paintings for 'reproduction'.

Daniel Radcliffe refusing to wear Alyssa Liu's gold medal because it feels like "stolen valour" is the most Daniel Radcliffe thing that Daniel Radcliffe has ever done. What a superstar.

My cat Echo seems to think Daylight Savings Time has already happened because he's now wanting his food, treats, all his regular stuff an hour earlier

people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

As Americans and American-adjacent areas, we are absolutely drowning in propaganda.

So many things that we think are absolute truths or completely made up propaganda to get us to hate one group or believe someone else's truth

I remember hearing from someone who interviewed him that he has fun playing up the grumpy old man angle on people, a lot of it is an act he does

A few things that I've enjoyed recently

New Social D song is great, they haven't lost a step

The Bluff on Amazon Prime was predictable and silly but I had fun watching it. Priyanka Chopra Jones killing pirates is so fun to watch

Starfleet Academy continues to amaze every week. Wonder Man is great

If you know someone who is really great at running an RPG, you have got to hold on to them, you know?

This is a case of "if we say it enough times, it'll become true"

If you want President Vance in 2028, go ahead and put Newsome on the ballot
