It’s only okay when the alternative is “your entire population is killed.” If you’re not fighting a defensive war with high stakes, then it’s just a way to kill poor people and political dissidents.

I mean, anyone could exercise it. These justices are appointed for life after all. The problem seems to be that the far-right has a monopoly on violent lunatics.

They just talk about the fate of democracy because it’s a nice scary headline to pull in ratings. None of them give a fuck about this country, and will use their money to leave before they face the consequences of a Trump presidency. Corporate media will kill democracy for 3% more profit.

I mean, this looks like a slam dunk win to me. Guy looks way hotter in a crop top.

Which by the way, is an entirely self-inflicted wound. There was nothing stopping Biden from not running in the first place, and instead spending the four years pulling up a new candidate from the likeable semi-progressive crowd like Buttigeg. Instead, it seems the DNC have gotten high huffing their own farts. Biden barely beat Trump the first time and began polling worse almost immediately. Instead of reading the writing in the wall, they invented the narrative that Biden was some kinda “Trump Kryptonite” who would always be able to beat him. That message has always been bullshit, but last night the DNC got to realize how bullshit it is.

Imagine how much of a slam dunk win this would be if DNC spent the last four years working on a strategy to win, like the GOP have. They could deflect on Israel, show a graceful transition of power, and they didn’t have to run a geriatric. Instead, they assumed they had this in the bag again, and might fucking lose because of it again.

I mean, reading that sentence, it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if they omitted it just to spite the British.

Good. This is the kinda shit Dems should keep doing. It doesn’t matter if it sounds petty, these assholes are a threat to our democracy, they should not be allowed to spew their lies without consequences. If the press refuses to do their job, it falls to whoever is closest to a Republican.

I mean, I don’t wanna undercut this accomplishment, but Bioware games have pretty much always had trash character creators. We’ll need to get our hands on this one to see, but the competition is Elden Ring and Dragon’s Dogma 2, which both have pretty incredible options that have allowed users to recreate tons of characters from real life/pop culture.

It’s only 20% off, but Alpha Protocol has returned to Steam just in time for the sale!

Woot woot! Hopefully going to pick up Balatro on sale this weekend.

My raidteam managed to get a server first boss kill while raiding Mythic Tomb of Sargeras in World of Warcraft:Legion. I was so proud of our teams achievement, I actually got a tattoo of the Mark of the Kirin Tor, a symbol for my mage character, in commemoration of the achievement.

I hope this kinda response is blasted from the rooftops, maybe make sure it’s on a billboard during the fall when prospective students are being showed around. Let high-schoolers across the country know that Columbia University supports genocide and is willing to use their reputation to spread misinformation.

When Ronald fucking Reagan is too liberal for your party, I think it’s time for self-examination.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate that death-cults preaching about the poison of reality are really bad at surviving through time.

What do you mean somehow? Cyberpunk as a genre has always been a vision of a future of unchecked corporate power, it only became prescient because Americans gave corporations unchecked power.

God I’m glad we got Stewart back, he’s been on fire with his Monday nights.

It worked fine at the time, the problem is that all of that motivation to defend democracy was artificial, and slowly faded from the public as the war faded into the past.

I don’t know if diverse is the right word, considering most of the perpetrators are white, male, and right-wing. Difficult to counter is also a real funny way to write “refuse to counter because our counterterrorism organizations have already been infiltrated by right-wing white males.”

I fucking hate half-measures like this. Yeah, if you’re one of the 550,000 saved from deportation, or one of the few hundred thousand that got your college debt forgiven, I’m sure it feels great. What would be objectively better is to actually fix the problems requiring these patches. Biden’s made no progress on education cost reform, and has made negative progress on immigration reform, making these kinds of actions pure political theater.

Weird that she’s very vocal about the acts supposedly committed by Hamas, but is staying completely silent about all the sexual assault being committed by the IDF against Palestinian women. Almost like she’s a massive fucking hypocrite.
