To the extent my country is exceptional it is because we are a country of all people and none. The world made manifest. A nation of nations. A people united in truly radical ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Any attempt to undo this is treason and also seeks to make us ordinary.

Look we should have done 3 from the start considering that a third are up for election each time.

It's too bad this game isn't actually fun for more than 60 minutes total because I love what they're doing.

An informational product, not a game, from Cards Against Humanity is available for pre-order until October 15. They still own that land along the Mexican border to interfere with the border wall and sued Elon Musk for encroaching on it. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs with an edition that explains all the jokes, says 'this holiday season… don’t give Donald Trump a f***ing cent'

For US customers only.

Entire way of experiencing movies that zoomers will never remember, that people my age barely remember, where you watched something because it was on. Feels like there is an entire genre of movie that was meant to be seen in that format. You couldn’t make Swordfish (2001) today.

This is a great explanation for what I've referred to as verbal pollution on Bluesky.

Zeb Larson @zeblarson.bsky.social · Jul 27

Bluesky’s unique poster archetype is “depressed liberal/leftist who is making others responsible for their emotions” and they all need to be muted.

Half the time I post something related to race on this website I get someone in the comments like, “yeah america is a racist country what do you expect.” I’m starting to think folks like this are bots or ops designed to make people feel helpless. Think we should call it “doomsplaining”

Oh also shout out to that one Lord who MeTooed some CEO or something who couldn't be legally named by the press until the lord mentioned him in a House of Lords debate. That was cool. More lawmakers should do that kind of shit.

Top tier funny moment in Brexit was some drama related to the House of Lords or monarchy where these vestigal powers and shit became very unvestigal for a hot second as the legal fictions collapsed into possible realities. Don't even remember the details.

Honestly the Brits have us beat on this with the House of Lords. Just have a totally meaningless house filled with old dudes nobody cares about and can be ignored.

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

I think it's simultaneously true that we need more third spaces and the people I know who think the most about how we need third spaces are thirty-forty somethings overindexing on their own lack of time and interest.

Aubrey Gilleran @aubreygilleran.bsky.social · 9h

I write about the lack of third spaces often. This habit of thinking that a single post must provide an exhaustive accounting of every factor leading to a multifaceted problem — and then attacking people if it doesn’t — is why people find this place exhausting.

Ranryu @ranryu.bsky.social · 9h

Yes, it's definitely that and not the lack of third spaces. You are so smart
