I love Strike Anywhere and I'm not a tone snob but the guitars on their records always sound like they used amp sims from 2006 to me

As much as RoboCop is a Detroit movie it feels weird to think "RoboCop takes place in Michigan"

Spinning out into speculative ontologies like "OK, the rich realized that adding more zeros to infinity can't improve their lives any further, so they've landed on a relative privation model where instead of increasing their luxury they're increasing our suffering" but what do you do with that

Did some of Musk's people invent The Jaunt? Find a wormhole? They've been mumbling about going to Mars forever but as soon as Trump 2 started they suddenly act like they actually believe it

I have to admit my normally pretty trusty "who benefits from this and how?" algorithm is kind of stalling out trying to find plausible explanations for why the ultrarich have started fully acting as though they won't have to keep living on this planet

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

I do remember them saying references to "cheese pizza" in the DNC email leak was code for some pedo thing but I dunno if that's real or just Pizzagate lore. don't need to know really

bunch of those Sora AI videos like the one I posted earlier have protestors yelling "NO QUESO, NO CHEESE! NO QUESO, NO CHEESE!" which seems like a riff on "no justice, no peace" but I don't get why cheese? Reference to something? They just think cheese is funny? I'm more confused than owned here

Do you think the chuds sharing those AI protest videos think "NO QUESO NO CHEESE" is some kind of militant vegan protest chant, or do they just think nothing because their brains are dead lumps of carbon

Yeah I just went and watched all these and without knowing anything about the creator(s) I honestly can't pick up an intelligible political valence from this. Compass just spinning like a top

Even if this were real, it's just a guy being annoying. AI lets them fantasize and display any provocation they can imagine and their responses are still cruel and disproportionate

This video has over 40 million views on Instagram and too many Trump supporters clearly think it's real as it bounces around all the major social media platforms.

And it wasn't even climate change after all. The ultra-hyperrich just went completely insane when physics told them they couldn't have more than infinity money, so they started bashing their skulls against the bulkheads and chewing on all the wires

It's really inconvenient for me that the total collapse we were heading for got pushed up from "probably about 50-100 years after my death" to "sometime this year"

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Why even bother saying stuff like this? Do they think if they just did what they want without these dog brained justifications that Americans would rise up and stop them or something? "Oh, the founder of Antifa, ok then, sounds serious"?

I think the thing that made me realize rugged American individualism is dead was the gender EO. If we were the feisty libertarians we imagine ourselves to be, even cis people would've rioted at being told "actually, the only reason you're a man is because I say so"
