I also refuse to drive a car my father's 60-something mechanic friend (who I inherited as my mechanic) cannot repair

I refuse to wear a smartwatch or any kind of fitness tracker; in part it's because I can't stand things on my wrist but it's also because I don't want more notifications on my body or corporations to further track my ass and further slurp data about me

There's no belief more correct than that of the US being history's Great Satan

Existential Horror Lifestyle Giant @magnumt.bsky.social · 4h

Thing about the US is that you should always assume absolute malevolence from its leadership even when its imperator is supposedly "good", never mind when its a senile piece of shit like Trump

That's good to know! But X-Men, like superhero comics as a rule, are cyclic so lord knows they'll get back to it sooner not later.

They should either drop that tedious Wolverine-Cyclops-Jean Grey love triangle or have them become a full-on trouple and not in a wink wink nudge nudge cowardly way like the Hickman run did with an infographic

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 19h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

As always it's important to keep in mind that "work" for these "entrepreneur" freaks involves reading emails, using Chatgpt to write an email, sucking venture capitalist dick at meetings, getting their dicks sucked at employee meetings, and posting on LinkedIn via AI

What the Twitter takeover did so effectively was fracture the way we get our news. If, for example, I want to get in-depth updates on Sudan I still check in with Twitter as that's where a lot of the biggest accounts are. There's no one-stop shop anymore.

Sure the corporate raiders destroyed the high streets and the livelihoods that came with it but they also made a lot of money for a handful of already rich men so who can say if private equity is good or bad

This arc had Akane going through the rakugo equivalent of training the hyperbolic chamber while losing all her senses bar touch, allowing her to become very powerful

Existential Horror Lifestyle Giant @magnumt.bsky.social · 2d

Akane Banashi is the best because it takes the secret battle technique nonsense prevalent is so much of Shown Jump's best known output and applies it to the perhaps staid world of rakugo, of all things

Thiel is one of our world's Celestial Dragons and he'd keep slaves if allowed (hell I bet he actually already owns slaves)

He's too stupid and red and mad to be one of the old men who actually rule the world that can transform into kaiju

Thiel of course is both too stupid and lacking in self awareness to realises that in One Piece he's represented by the world's slaver ruling class
