Joe Rogan is just Art Bell for dude-bros + racists

I don’t think my opinions are always right and I definitely have room to learn and grow, as we all do. However facing a world right now that has more than enough people including the president saying the most morally repugnant things imaginable and lying non-stop. I reallydon’t feel like diving into a book telling me…

I dunno man, I read White Tears and while there is a fair amount of liberal navelgazing in that one, Kunzru hangs it on a pretty good narrative and doesn’t paint with the widely condemning brush you’re projecting onto him. It was more an examination than an indictment; I did not get the impression of one folding their…

If White Tears (Kunzru’s first book) is anything to go by, I agree with you. The main character of that book was a cipher who seemed to have been created solely for the purpose of showing how vacuous and awful liberal-leaning young white men can be. A whole lot of shooting fish in a barrel.

They’re really more judging a book by the review, and recognizing that the review may be offering a skewed presentation of the book's content.

Wow, this sounds absolutely insufferable.

You’re making the mistaken assumption of assuming all conspiracy theories are created equal. There is a big difference behind “Mole people live in the center of the earth,” and “Any grass-roots movement demanding equality is a front for a secret cabal of (((Leaders))) with the end goal of enslaving mankind.”

There’s a…

There are certainly left wing or politically neutral conspiracy theories out there, but the specific ones that this game seems to be basing its plot on are ones that are almost exclusively believed by the far right, essentially that all protests aren’t ordinary people upset about injustices, but are all actors being…

I think that once you start suggesting that you think people not wanting to be murdered by government-sanctioned organizations for the color of their skin could be part of a conspiracy...... you’re opening yourself up to be lumped in with any number of nutters out there.

Because the alt right, and by extension the Republican Party itself, is increasingly reliant on conspiracy theories to peddle its bullshit.  Yes, I remember the days when conspiracy theories seemed relatively harmless; now they’re increasingly taking on a political bent, and typically cast people on the left as…

Jesus CHRIST Ubisoft, what the hell is wrong with you?! I went into this article assuming it would just be a case of them using something a graphic or imagery similar to the raised-fist in a poorly thought out or negative context that somebody should have noticed and scrapped ahead of time. But the fact that the whole…

Floored by this news.

Trans people, of course, famously taking advantage of society’s permissive attitude toward them.

Blue Monday is soundtrack for CoD?

LMAO @ Ronald Reagan in CoD, too. Especially acting like he’s involved in planning instead of suffering early onset Alzheimer’s.

The great thing about Nintendo is that they do things at their own pace, and are likely to surprise you with an announcement of substance.

“Big Boxing Rumble: Creed Champions is a boxing game that puts in you the gloves of some of the most legendary (fictitious) boxers...”

It is gloriously apropos that a movie featuring Illyana Rasputin has been stuck in Limbo for years.

My daughter is 23 and loved PPG s a little girl. I just sent this story to her and all she could say was “Fuck 2020!”

I want to fucking puke

It feels like every Batman and Bond story for the past 15 years has focused on whether the ends justify the means and whether the hero is actually just a giant psychopath.

Which has gotten a bit tedious, if I’m honest. Yes yes, blindly consuming an authoritarian power fantasy is bad and these characters are living…
