It’s a game about interminable space war, terms like “blood” and “honor” and even “cleansing” are going to come up, even next to each other. The Nazis didn’t invent those words and TBH they didn’t even recontextualize them; they used the language of warfare in their war against, you know, the world.

Memetic Engineering, if you will

The losers think the only way they can become winners is by banding together all the losers and then empowering a leader of the losers to make things right for them.

Imagine Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich being the combo that America might never actually recover from. While they didn’t invent the root causes of a lot of our national problems, the through line for the vast majority of those problems runs right through those two fat fucks.

Eight positions in sixteen years. Two years per job.

Ah, so it’s hosted by SS. Whew, Nazi adjacency averted then!

He’s right about the term “content.” The prevailing use of the word in digital contexts is to denote works as “pieces of . . .,” largely unconcerned with what is contained in those works. And this does ultimately affect how works are produced - more and more, “content” is being produced with where it will sit as a piec…

but Stan would be a lot more hands off and give direction like “a teenager with spider-powers” and leave the entire character design over to the artists and then say “yes that’s just what I was thinking of, I’m brilliant!” when they came back to him with pages.

Fuck Todd.

Adrianne Palicki and Taylor Kitsch have popped up in things but haven’t had roles that showcase a tenth of the talents they showed in FNL

this sort of bigoted bullshit is a shameful national tradition inflamed at times of trouble by evil opportunists stoking the all-too-ready fears and hatred of white America for petty personal gain.

two boxes

It depends on the city. A few cities have made news over the last few years for forcing law enforcement to remove decals (almost always Punisher decals) from their cars, but not all cities have the same regulations and not all the ones that have them enforce them.

I messed around with Star Trek Online for a bit a few years back, and it was absolutely mind-boggling how completely the social chat in that game was just an alt-right greatest hits compilation.

Honestly I got a good bit of entertainment mileage out of Destiny: I’m not at all an FPS player but Destiny’s gameplay felt very intuitive and satisfying for some reason. I faded out pretty quickly at first, but the Taken King expansion (which is the point where the game added some narrative depth, provided you were…

Destiny *almost* fixed that; the problem was they put the fix on the website and not in the actual game.

Oof, the Fade. My least favorite part of DA: O by a looooong shot.

Yeah, I’m having real trouble calling to mind similar incidents with male celebrities. While their issues certainly also serve as tabloid fodder in the moment, and there’s the occasional interview comment or winking joke (I’m certain I’ve seen it with RDJ), they aren’t grilled on it like this, where it takes over the…
