On Wednesday afternoon, authorities confirmed Michael Mohn was a retired civil engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers.

Fuck him for being a troop I guess, but god damn can't any of these people target a higher up instead of a random retired engineer?

First as tragedy, then... you know, the thing.

this sucks but I expect a scraper version will come along to do the same thing while taxing Twitter's servers twice as hard.

Bringing back "he got sent to another dimension" from the Dragon Ball Z Ocean Dub.

People are calling it "the gender war", and it's like GamerGate times ten. I shit you not it started with a Gacha game developer releasing a "summer skin" of a female character that pissed off the gamers by not showing enough skin.

Come on. Lets see the Texas National Guard and the Border Patrol get into open conflict. It would be the first time either of them has fought a peer enemy, and it would produce some combat footage.

1 hour into the five hour Palworld video, HBomberguy suddenly appears in a courtroom where he is explaining evidence of various financial crimes to a jury.

a higher level of fidelity than 2024 releases

We've reached a point where the major bottleneck on realism isn't the hardware you run on, it's the size of your dev team and the amount of time you spend working on your graphics. That's part of why triple ayyyyyyyyyy games are so much more expensive to make than they need to be, because they're throwing money at diminishing returns and they always have to outdo the last game that came out.

There are certain genres of porn that should be permanently blocked for everyone. Any Japanese word that ends in "-con", of course, but also simpsons, minecraft, and roblox hentai. Talk about unrealistic body standards!

There's no way this is an actual response of his to this clip. This has to be edited. I simply can't believe it.

Uh but anyway the AAF version of this song is okay but I felt like it was overrated and overplayed at the time.

it lumps Kim Jong Un in with right-wing fascists

A key pillar of Kim Jong Un's political program has been expanding access to luxury entertainments to all DPRK citizens. He's adamant about maintaining nuclear sovereignty, sure, but his image in North Korean politics is very much "we all know the 90s sucked, but that's in the past, now's the time to party", and that's the reason why the DPRK has water parks and equestrian clubs and bowling alleys dotted all over the place.

I guess what I'm saying is that that doesn't feel super fashy to me.

Me: the left in the west needs everyone we can get so any kind of left punching is unjustified

Also me (sometimes): lmao look at this demsoc dipshit

I think having really firm and well-defined principles is important, and I also think it's hard to do without a larger organization helping you maintain them. As an individual we are too caught up in our own emotions, the whims of the crowd, our personal experiences and parasocial relationships to always see our own principles clearly, and this kind of cannibalistic dunking is the result.

I also think that cointelpro never ended, and that a lot of the shit stirring that often paralyzes the western left isn't organic.
