Dang it I thought they were finally making a modern Battletoads game!

Pretty good: I finished reading Fauna which was wild. Spent the night in a nearby hotel with the family because of this hurricane: our house is surrounded by huge trees so we were worried.

Unless you think “from scratch” sounds nice.

Trumpism is a cult. Plain and simple. This is cult behavior.

I realize that’s very dismissive, but in this case I think that’s a good thing. You could spend years debunking their every claim, anti-fact, and bad faith argument–and there’s a time and a place for those discussions–but there’s no need to burden your mind with the mountain of their nonsense. You don’t have to read the whole Time Cube page to determine that its author isn’t worth listening to for astrophysical insights.

Aww hell yeah that looks nice. Can’t wait to try it out.

How on earth have I never seen a Mr Beast video? YT has never even suggested it that I can remember, and I’ve been on the lookout for a few months ever since I heard about him on–and this is peak irony–the radio.

And that’s why you should get this version instead!

I love getting years of good service from old computers, but I do want to add something: old laptop means old battery, and if they’re not producing the same form factor anymore, then even a replacement battery will probably be old stock that’s been degrading for years. Unfortunately I don’t know what company’s models have the best longevity here in terms of battery form factor.

That sucks, Internet friend. Want to talk about it?

I don’t see how that makes the headline hyperbolic. His speech is increasing mirroring Hitler, and people aren’t paying attention, because his speeches aren’t demanding the world’s attention.

Woah there chief! Lemme tell everyone a little story…

Back when I was on Reddit, I followed any and all Trump news (and especially Jan 6 investigation news) on an unhealthily regular basis. These kinds of Eeyore comments were extremely common and usually voted up to pepper through the top ⅓ of all the ‘best’ comments. It got so bad that some subreddits explicitly banned them, though it didn’t really end the practice.

Then Russia invaded Ukraine. All the disparaging comments ceased immediately. The frequency absolutely fell off a cliff, because all those comments were being served up to us by Russian bots. Russia wants nothing more than to further destabilize the US as well as any other democratic institution.

I’m not saying this comment right here is a Russian bot, but it’s definitely doing a Russian bot’s job by trying to undermine any confidence we might have in the concepts of justice or democracy.

… as long as they were white.

Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.
