  • Find it hard to believe that any current or former officer in the military is collaborating with another country. Even if it’s an “ally”.

    Some general is not going to ask France or UK or Germany to “step in” if MAGA tries to steal elections and none of those countries want to.

    There’s not going to be some secret sect of the military that’s going to save us when things keep getting worse. As far as we know the military had near 100% compliance committing war crimes by bombing those civilians in the Caribbean and kidnapping a foreign head of state.

    I’ll be surprised if we’re not at war with NATO by end of this year over Greenland. It gives Trump every cover to do whatever the hell he wants.













  • I love Star Wars and usually have a half decent time with Ubi games. You can usually pick them up for 50% off physical like a month after release.

    I have never put down a game quicker than Outlaws. It’s Ubisoft open world map icon slop at its worst. The first 4 hours of story are boring and repetitive. Every mission was “sneak into an Imperial base, oh shit something went wrong! Now escape!” Progression and abilities might as well not be there.

    Interest in SW isn’t waning. Companies keep making bad SW content.

    The stolen art is a much bigger problem for Bungie in a legal sense. They (and other studios) put out mediocre shit all the time and promise to fix it. I’m sure the poor play test contributed but the stolen art is likely the cause for this delay.

    They now have to scan every single asset in the game to make sure the stolen art is no longer there and that’s just the stolen art they know about. There might be more stolen art in there, who knows.

    Now that the controversy is public the original artist could easily find a lawyer to go against Bungie if more stolen art is found in the final release. If Bungie gets sued they might have to pull the game from storefronts.

    This reads like several other recent posts of his recently where it’s clear he’s not actually running things.

    Like the other day he said something like “Pete Hegeseth should send in the troops!” to LA. 1. You’re the president Donald, you kind of make that decision. 2. Why aren’t you talking directly to him and if you are, why did you ask him to do it in the post instead of saying he already is?

    Same thing with this one. Reads like he’s giving an order to staff instead of communicating with his cult.



  • I’ll believe they’ll vote Dem when I see it. Trump was a fuck up before he was president and a terrible businessman. He was a fuck up when he was president and got hundreds of thousands of people killed unnecessarily because of his narcissism. He very plainly showed who he was in his words and actions. People still voted for him THREE TIMES.

    They’ll fucking check the box for him or any other R next time because god forbid they take responsibility or self reflect at all for electing that shit stain.


  • Yes, the media is suppressing news of protests because most of the media companies are owned by billionaires who’ve kissed the ring.

    The protests that are happening are also smaller and somewhat decentralized. The media likes a big show and these protests don’t get clicks or eyeballs on screens.

    There are many smaller protests happening such as the ones outside Tesla dealerships literally everywhere. This is having an effect on Teslas stock but TBD if it’ll have a lasting effect.

    People are also attending town halls with their congresspeople and getting confrontational. This has led to many representatives cancelling town halls or screening for only Republicans like fucking cowards. Chuck Schumer just canceled his book tour because he knows he’ll get run out of every city he shows up in after his capitulation.

    Pro Palestine protests continue on campuses.

    There’s a lot to dig into on why there isn’t a large mass protest like 2020 but my simple answer is that things aren’t bad enough yet.
