Like, I think of amazon when I want something delivered to my doorstep, be it electronic, the occasional carton of goldfish crackers, or nitrous oxide. But that never meant I would ever think "I'd quite like to buy a video game right now, better hit up amazon" unless it's a single game handheld.

I've watched more than a few call of duty campaigns for the explosions, and you have no idea how correct you are. The second game in the modern warfare reboot trilogy starts with a casual use of white phosphorous that's not even brought up later in the story.

I know other media outlets around the country are running with "diseased monkeys with COVID, herpes and hepatitis are loose in Mississippi!"

And yes, it makes great clickbait. Those posts have thousands of RTs.

But it's just not accurate. Our factual report by @nickjudin.bsky.social:

Mississippi Free Press @mississippifreepress.org · 21h

Lab monkeys from Tulane University have escaped an overturned truck north of the town of Heidelberg, Mississippi.

Despite initial claims by local law enforcement, the monkeys are not carrying COVID-19, herpes or hepatitis C.

The problem is that you can find centrist billionaires and right wing billionaires, but you can't find left wing billionaires. And, well, guess who runs society through investment right now?

Racecarlock @racecarlock.bsky.social · 23h

"Rich people's increasing influence over both parties" is such a boring answer by this point, but it's still true. Hell, even if you lose, you still got paid by someone, right? Why not chase the center even when that's not possible to do? You'll be in the Caribbean the day after you lose anyways.

Another right wing propaganda outlet is never good, but I feel like they've started to have diminishing returns after the 500 billionth one. Mostly because they all copy paste the same talking points, and people get bored.

This is such a stupid plan. Like, it's evident they're failing to blame the democrats for the shutdown as much as they want to, and the current course of action is just going to lead to mass anger and riots that they won't have enough soldiers or police to counter, even with all of the propaganda.

Legally, it would be a layup for microsoft. In spite of what and which judges the trump administration controls, they have the litigious capability of a drunk squirrel.

HOWEVER, there's all sorts of taxes and investments the administration can threaten if microsoft resists, which is why they're not

Racecarlock @racecarlock.bsky.social · 1d

It makes sense to me. They like portraying trump as a literal strong man. Superman, rambo, master chief, so long as he has big muscles and beats up "bad guys", they'll put Trump's head on them.

Interpreting it as taking credit for halo on the playstation was overthinking it.

And if said person says "I'm waiting for more information", that just means BOTH factions get to assume that person is on the other side and hate them!

This hasn't even happened to me, I've just seen it happen to others.

Racecarlock @racecarlock.bsky.social · 1d

Even if the person hasn't discussed whatever issue, isn't demanding an immediate hot take only designed to make that person put out an error filled opinion AND designed to put that person in a particular faction while also making "micro-factions" based on the take?
