My fav headline from this year:

Headline from PC Gamer article that reads: "Hideo Kojima says he won't play the MGS 3 remake, mentions he knows loads of ways to kill people, doesn't elaborate, leaves"

Given his personality, it’s easy to imagine he spent halftime seething instead of getting the team back on program. Bad coaching, especially as the offensive play caller.

Refereeing has been disastrous, but you can at least still blame the lack of adjustments after the half on him. Pretty easy to imagine he spent the entire 20 minutes seething instead of getting the team back on program.

The worst thing these refs can do is make me sympathetic to Hugh Freeze.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

i need to move to a country that is experiencing mass religious psychosis, violent civil rights erosion, and a hyperconsolidation of economic and political power among the moneyed elite. But I ALSO need it to be opposed in name only by a coalition of feckless aristocrats. Does anyone know of one?

Listening to Morning Edition on @npr.org this morning talking about Trump’s involvement in private corps. Offered (and shot down) words like “socialism” but never mentioned fascism. Then they went into this story 🙃

Those posts about Hbomberguy doing a video exposing Light as the Death Note killer are pretty hilarious. There was also one about him exposing Palpatine as Darth Sideous, but I couldn’t find it.

Death Note AU where hbomberguy makes a five hour long video about youtuber Light Yagami that's initially completely unrelated to the murders (Light would probably plagiarize or have really unhinged
right-wing political takes if he was on youtube) but halfway through he reveals that while researching he stumbled upon evidence that Light might be behind the Kira murders, and then spends like fourty minutes explaining the concept of a shinigami, an hour explaining how he thinks Light used one to commit murders, and then another hour explaining Light's ideology and why the
concept of criminals being inherently evil is flawed He finishes the video by addressing Light directly and telling him that he (Hbomberguy) had his name legally changed before uploading the video, to something that only he knows, making it
impossible for Light to kill him

Now Light. I know you're still watching, and I'm sure you've tried writing my name in your book. Or you've at least considered it - after all, if I die, then it points pretty clearly to you as the killer. But then, maybe Kira is just going to try to kill me in order to
frame you. We get it, you're very clever. If watching this whole video hasn't changed your mind - made you *think* about the humanity of the people you are just callously sentencing to death - then I'm at a bit of a loss. But I do know one thing
you don't:
My legal name. That's right. Before I uploaded this video, I changed my legal name, and have encouraged those in my life to do so as well. Frankly, trying to decide what my new name would be probably pushed back this
video's release like, a month. (Aside: Actually it didn't but we can all just pretend it did, it's way more interesting than the minutiae of
real issues that cropped up)

So. Is Light Yagami Kira? I can't say for sure. It turns out, accusing a public figure of serial murder comes with a lot of legal ramifications! You would think l'd
have learned by now that talking about people has "potential consequences" like "being sued by
extremely litigious individuals. "
I spent a long time thinking how to end this video. The only thing I came up with is that there's no way to judge a person by just a list of actions alone. And yes that includes Light, the wanker. Courts spend weeks and weeks trying to litigate criminal cases and they still get it wrong! So even though I think he may be the actual scum of the earth, I hope I'm wrong. I want to believe that, given the opportunity, he wouldn't take the ten seconds to write down my
name and take my life with just a flick of his wrist.
*long beat* But I still changed my name so don't even think
about it you little sh-
*bouncy credits music*

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
