just an old huckster floor-fishing for some relevancy and licensing since Nintendo just moved on as a corporation can and often will do. My guess would be that whatever ‘permission’ he has proffered has some sort of hook in it for licensing or some promotion/merch opportunities.

I’m impressed that they managed to contradict each other while still lying through their teeth. Truly, courses will be taught on this administration.

Speaking of batshit lawyers toting water for naked and cynical abuses of our legal system for political reasons, whatever happened to the birther nut who was trying to singlehandedly sue any and everyone possible over Obama’s citizenship?

This article seems so quaint in the wake of the snotkerchief debacle.

this lady, and her terrible taste buds and her even worse politics can just go..

Going to finally give The Mandalorian a shot and binge a ton of it.

OMG THANK YOU FOR ASKING THIS

I’m a pretty boring taco bell person: one bean burrito, no onions, extra cheese. fire sauce. Maybe two. two fire sauce packets per.

Not so great! I constantly feel like I am screaming but I’m not actually doing anything but silently moving about my day. I stopped discussing anything political a couple days ago. I am some combination of rage, panic, and non-immobilized catatonia. I want to pull walls apart. I want to physically punch words. I’m not…

all of this. mfers telling me about emails. I feel like I’m walking around with a calm exterior crust but just underneath is nothing but LAVA.

I suspect Pratt, who almost certainly came up republican, is one of those folks who is now just reflexively republican as his profession and lifestyle has brought him into contact with a wide array of views and circumstances. So, he’s like some people I know that are republican never-trumpers. He likely thinks he’s…

I guess people are somehow familiar enough with EVH to mourn him, yet unfamiliar enough with David Crosby to be unaware of his personality, yet aware enough of him to care about his EVH take? Hm.

This is the result of market forecasting. They’re creating MAGA vehicles for the MAGA dystopia the MAGA crowd is trying to bring to fruition.

This has become my line of attack on black conservatives: their utter irrelevancy and marginalization beyond trolling black progressives and harming black people. Black progressives give the Dems and white progressives that work, hold them accountable, call them out, push them to adhere to their principles. 

Well, I agree with all of that, and used the NPC framing since you had introduced it. I really see the two deaths as unrelated for the very reasons you outline.
Which leads me back to your initial comment and I am not certain I understand the note you’re raising. Are you protesting that we should have had more…

I think treatment of the nurse and of Yahima as essentially NPCs (to use your framing) is intentional. We are meant to see how horrific these acts were, and how disposably these lives were treated.

And in this episode, while it was wartime, Tic’s actions are a burden he carries and speaks on. I would think the nurse’s…

lol!

Card to play! Because words don’t carry power. Even though you sit here and think that “michigan democrat” somehow cancels “alt-right” as if there aren’t still south georgia voters registered democrat flying trump flags. The fact that you’re a 20+ yr democrat underscores you were one before these issues flared up and…

Rick Fox is Canadian

oh, here come alt-right mcsplainy to tell me how what I feel is pretend, it’s all a jape, a show! But we do have legitimate grievances, so maybe some of our grieving isn’t pretense! Which ones, Mr. McSplainy?
