Ed Gein was the inspiration for Leatherface, that much is true. But Buffalo Bill? That's so much of a stretch, it feels like REED RICHARDS was involved in the production of this stinkburger.

Seems like someone tried to have their cake and eat it too, as it were.

Meanwhile, his buddy Mencius Moldbug is eyeing the exits.

Nope... one, because "Antifa" ISN'T AN ORGANIZATION. Two... what kind of knuckle-knob brings their kid to a protest where they'll get pepper-sprayed by law-enforcement?

The costumes are there to make the other side look weak and stupid, not to emulate a child's birthday-party.

No, but they ARE giving the assholes and the nutters enough rope to hang themselves with.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and it's THIS dipshit?

Andy Ngo is wrong, of course... the costumes are to make ICE look like the idiotic and cruel bullies they are. Seriously, what idiot brings a 5-year-old to be tear-gassed by cops on the take?

Good thing these grunting ogres in their stupid big-boy army-man cosplay hold no terror for me. In fact, they tend to piss me off.

And this is why fascism is always doomed to fail... it's a ship w/ too many captains, an Ouroboros that inevitably chokes on its own tail.

It's also really dumb, incredibly transparent, and frankly ridiculous levels of "Ya Know, These People Think We're Stupid."

Yeah, if it's on Newsmax, feel free to deploy THIS little chestnut from classic MST3K.

You just described these dipshits to a tee... these software-engineers who REALLY need to stick to their knitting instead of this technocrat-LARP crap.

LOOKIN' AT YOU, PETER THIEL AND CURTIS YARVIN...

But this is the Internet, where "hating on your mom" is how edgelords prove their "grown-up and therefore SUPERIOR" bonafides.

And how the "intelligentsia" delude themselves into thinking they're better than the hoi polloi. Summary of evidence? "I liked it before it was cool."

The Wizard Of Snark, Magician Of The Tribunal Of The Imagination @tribimagin.bsky.social · 1d

And I'm... okay with that. Seriously... with AI-slop on its way out the door, I am TICKLED to see more live-action "Disney" remakes.

I mean, I'm excited that "Deathstalker," of all movies, got a remake.

The Wizard Of Snark, Magician Of The Tribunal Of The Imagination @tribimagin.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, it can't suck all the time. We've got a new TRON movie and a new Deathstalker movie out... though I wish "Deathstalker"(2025) had a wider release.

WHAT "centrists?" There are two sides... the good guys, and the Nazis. I know on which side MY bread is buttered.

The Wizard Of Snark, Magician Of The Tribunal Of The Imagination @tribimagin.bsky.social · 1d

And just as a reminder...

...NO SHIT.

...out of a garage in Palo Alto.

It's a confidence-trick, like NFTs and crypto-currency. A "WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TOMORROW!" magic-show for aging fat-cats w/ more money than good sense.

Luckily, this isn't going to happen... the model isn't sustainable, and there really isn't a market for generative-AI beyond Silicon Valley tech-bros presenting shiny objects to their angel-investors so they can continue to run Fortune 500 companies like it's still three idiots building computers...

There's a full MOON out tonight... >w>

Heh... the grandfather of the Famicom/NES Zapper.

Meanwhile, I'm wishing "Deathstalker" got a wider theatrical release. Did ya know Shout! Studios was doing a remake of this 1983 sword-and-sorcery cheese-fest?

The Wizard Of Snark, Magician Of The Tribunal Of The Imagination @tribimagin.bsky.social · 1d

Granted, I'm cool with EITHER version... but the point of dunking on this post is that dipshits clamoring for EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER to be a balloon-titty'd doe-eyed anime-vixen is dumber than a bag o' hammers.

"Oh, but he hates trans people!"

No he doesn't, he's just got bigger fish to fry right now. Fixing stuff around the house can wait until THE HOUSE IS NO LONGER ON FIRE.

Keep fightin' the good fight, sirrah.
