On the extremely low chance I stream (read: hardly), you'll notice this instead of subscribing. Don't subscribe to me. Absolute waste of money. Instead, donate to PCOS Awareness Association with this button. Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Also consider donations to your local animal shelter.

Encyclopedia Dramatica used to call it "unwarranted self-importance". ED was a cesspool of a website, but that phrase stuck with me ever since.

Hooked up my NES earlier and was playing Duck Hunt earlier. There is still something uniquely satisfying about old light gun games from the 1980s.

And this NES is the same one we had back in 88 or 89 I think. I was 5-6. I cleaned it up and replaced the pins. It's finicky, but it works.

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.

So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

The irony of this kind of masturbatory culture wars shit with gamers is that most of them probably beat off to JAV content on the internet. Like bruh, you don't even pay attention to their face anyway.

How about you leave character stories to people with some fuckin' culture?

Bruh, she is CRASHING OUT hard on this.

The funny thing is, I don't completely blame her for not wanting a Qatar base on US soil. Only difference is, I am not a disheveled depraved racist about it.

It's too bad you'll fall back in line soon enough though. Daddy Trump will make sure of that.

Equilateral @trianglecore.net · 1d

I honestly don't know what Trump thought this whole time. If you wanted the damn thing so bad, why wouldn't you just have put your entire admin on autopilot for ten months and soaked up a booming economy, claimed it was all you and you deserve the award.

FAFOCO. Fucked around, found out, cried out.

What gets me the most about these people is that none of them are really religious. It's all a grift. They just want federal money to flow into these spaces as if tex exemption wasn't enough.

For example, ICE is raiding immigrants, the vast majority of these people are Catholic or some other denomination, call them Christian immigrants, suddenly Trump is now prosecuting Christians and locking them up in cages. Lean into it, voice it that way, create and amplify the narrative.

I've had a way better nickname for him over the years as a constituent of his, and that's "Dick Dasterdly". Terrible AG, middling senator.

But you can fuck right off, Captain Bone Spurs, with your shit. Your DEI hire AG deserved everything she got from him and the others. Fraud recognize fraud.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

If you are protesting, and you're bringing your phone connected to cellular data anyway (risky business, but okay) then make sure your Google, iCloud, Dropbox, or whatever saves photos and videos will upload to the cloud on cellular data. Or get an app that does.

Because they will delete it.

FPD for Sydney Reid (a woman accused of assault after cops manhandled her for filming an ICE arrest) say that the government did not preserve video that one of the officers watching took, which she claims is exculpatory.

They're moving to dismiss the case.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Other law enforcement officers were present, including Officer Jason Klepec. Officer
Klepec told Ms. Reid that he was filming her, in response to her filming the agents. After Ms.
Reid was arrested, she was put into the backseat of a car driven by Officer Dinko Residovic.
While Ms. Reid was sitting in the backseat, Officer Residovic viewed a video of the incident,
captured by cellphone. Ms. Reid recalls that the video clearly showed what the government has
alleged was an attempted knee to the groin. She recalls that the angle of the video shows that the
knee was not directed at any law enforcement officer but was a reactive movement.

I've long sort of felt that if we were ever going to be in a "civil war", it wasn't going to be a physical war so much as it was going to be an online war, culture war, a war fought through proxies and groups. Which is good for not getting got by some rando asshole, but it means almost nothing.

I hope he does it. And I hope he does it because I want to see the MAGAlets pushed up against the wall so hard on this they either have to start pushing back on the bridge troll in control of the House, or accept they're the party of pedos and pedo-apologists.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.
