Like, this is the maddening thing about this admin- there *isn't* really any master plan, there's a bunch of plotting viziers who occasionally get the ear of the senile, dying king and then get to live out whatever cruel, petty fantasies they want.

Anyways, any theory of this that assumes these guys are "winning" or really that this is happening for any reason beyond the fact Vought has a fetish for firing people is off-base.

Oh, hello Article V, been at least 10 mins since we've had to think about you.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

So it looks like my love interests in Hades II are going to be the embodiment of strife, retribution, and doom. What could go wrong with this polycule, I ask you?

Right? Like I do not get it. Same goes for Aloy in Horizon. She's based on a fashion model for gods sake!

Sounds like her too! 😆 But it's so cool to see her. She was the voice of my Rook in Dragon Age Veilguard. First time I ever picked the non-UK VO for my Dragon Age character.

It's literally a video game version of Erika Ishii, a real human person who is smoking hot and has a cool ass girlfriend.

Still deciding between “Not My President” sign and “I Can’t Believe I Still Have to Do This” sign, but I’ll be in DC.

It’s nice to see the heroism of ordinary people even when it’s part of seeing the worst of people.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back
