Really puts the scale of this conflict into perspective when a phrase like "disproportionate majority" is itself an insulting understatement

Playfully spraying my neighbour with the hose as he's loaded into the coroners van

Designed with gamers in mind.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark, also near the shoulder of Orion. Another time, when I was at the shoulder of Orion, look I didn't say I've traveled to a lot of places

Trump to China: obey my command or I will destroy the United States

It's funny what's easy and hard to do artificially. Ask a video game programmer for two fleets of giant battleships pelting each other with lasers and they'll say cool, if you ask them for a sad man drinking a glass of water they'll say "are you fucking insane"

Everyone was mad about the big technology of the setting blowing up and main characters dying but I liked all that, my beef was "how tf am I supposed to know which characters fucked after the credits?"

To be fair, republicans have for a long time existed in this bizarre space where an objective description of their words and actions sounds comically slanderous. You can't just SAY "they're beating people for fun and feeding them to alligators when they get bored" you gotta work your way up to it

the right has all the billionaires

I heard the term "emotional labour" once and I don't know what it means but I inferred from context that it means something bad in a relationship so I'll just throw it in here somewhere

that being said. the next president should bulldoze his ballroom and any triumphal arches or other monuments he builds to himself

uh at this time the harpoon was uh kinetically entered into an active uh hurling situation

classic weasel journalism passive voice

the noble preece pi- uh surprise

I think Trump's extreme stupidity/dementia which made him try to do all of project 2025 at once on day 1 threw them off and they've been playing catch-up ever since. can't back down, have to keep the momentum going, have to constantly escalate, and trump is also constantly escalating himself aaagh

that whole thing was so damn unsettling man. not the "look what you have awoken a beast" stuff but just how much fun all his friends were having. there were fireworks at his funeral. they were loving it. genuinely i think the only people actually sad that he died were his damn kids

Oh, I get it. It's called Castlevania because it's a metroidvania set in a castle!

DOGE is probably the most effective pro-government campaign in existence, having demolished multiple departments claiming to be rooting out "fraud waste and abuse" and showing jack shit to justify it

"venezuelan opposition leader" has "fought against communists in WW2" vibes

the sheer balls of this. this is the same guy who's trying to use the military to invade his own country and fires rockets at boats in the middle of the ocean for fun

On the one hand, I should not have stayed up until 2am playing bloodthief. On the other hand, well, that hand is deformed into a hideous claw from the way I was holding it at the keyboard

I always just assumed the first definition was derived from the second. Here's your metaphorical initial coat of paint on how a nuclear reactor works. Apparently it comes from medieval school books? Fun coincidence i guess

I'm so fucked up...
