X can cure COVID but THEY don't want you to know- antihistimines, hydroxichloroquine, Vitamin D/sunlight- before finally settling on ivermectin. Why the Ivermectic became the bugagboo I don't know, maybe bc it's the perfect combo of niche and widespread.
Good thread, but what it misses imo is the framing of high vs low trust voters. The narrative of COVID is 'big gov and big pharma teamed up to save the day' which is anathema to low trust people. They were shopping around for an anti-narrative in the early days of the pandemic

Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.
Is this related to the fact he's a wonderful casting as an American Southern dandy who solves mysteries?
So you're actually Big Hank?
As you should
Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.
I have said this for awhile: the democratic party’s general unwillingness to allow healthy dissent on the issue of Palestine will allow the fascists to “get ahead” on the issue because the antisemitic groyper faction is tolerated in the party and allowed to dissent.
I'm not an expert or native but anti-americanism is mostly left wing coded in Japan, with a couple exceptions (ie when right wingers can work the anti-foreigner angle)
the reason that a simple bad real estate deal doesn’t really quite convince me is that trump could *very* easily sell that to the press and the base, and he hasn’t done so.
The idea of America will outlive any vulgar nationalism that attempts to restrict what it means to be a real American. It always has.
They gonna find who the real Li'l D is
Agree with the point but Axe Throwing has very little repeat value, its definitely a fad Barcades on the other hand....
lol same
What he and other "intelligent" right wingers on twitter are facing is the broad acceptance of open Nazis into their coalition. This is them trying to smooth that over. So in a sense, it's a perfect example of the parable itself. Now they're the Nazi bar
I unironically think this terrifies them, because if 5 year old is just like "ok" and moves on then obviously hatred and fear of gay people isnt natural, and if it isnt natural then what else do they believe as "natural" is actually artifice?
His point only makes sense if you assume Nazis and gays are morally equivalent
How does this make sense will. If youre getting into internet fame because you want to prey on women, why would you go to the people who will kick you out when youre caught, aot the people will ignore it, if not cheer you on?
lol

Doordash et al also only cover the cost of the food to the restaurant, thats why that ad for Doordash toward restaurant owners pitches doordash as a way to reach out to new customers. They're skimming from both ends
I dont know, he gets away with most things bc his cult doesnt care, having surrendered free thought to dear leader, but Epstein isnt most things. This is like L Ron Hubbard having been revealed to be working with Xenu the entire time
Also the argument makes sense to terminally online teenagers who have never had (and literally cannot conceive of) a female friend who is comfortable with physical contact
Between Musk & the Trump administration, Media Matters has been squeezed to the brink. In settlement discussions, lawyers for X demanded the organization hand over all its cash and shut down — all because MM reported ads appeared on X next to antisemitic content. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/u...
The avocado toast people were right Michael, what else were we wrong about?!
So the avocado toast people were right? Goddamit
At UNC hospitals we just give grippy socks to everyone
i'm often accused of being uncivil for my willingness to go at people's character but it is not my fault i live in an age where some of our most prominent commentators clearly believe in nothing
I saw this image and thought it was an edit. I hope they just gave him the Saddam voice
I understand justice matters but the reopening of cold cases is surely going too far now
Heartbroken by the news. I was blessed to be able to cover War Pigs and get your recognition. Ozzy Forever 🤘🏿
Doggy style mechs
lmao
honestly I'm leaning toward something dumb, like he's afraid if it's released Melania will find out he's an adulterer
So the Dems had solid proof Trump was a pedophile/associated with the most famous pedophile in the world, and they held onto it for 4 years and didn't release or leak or so much as intimate it to the press? Even when internal polls showed they were about to get Mondale'd?
On here yeah, cause there are few actual conservatives and no far right/nazis/reactionaries to engage and argue with
Thought this was about Why Dont You Get a Job by The Offspring and was confused for a minute
I looked more into this episode, and the majority of these participants are influencers. They are openly & brazenly racist, antisemitic etc. They are using this to gain a mainstream audience by being boosted by both Jubilee and Zeteo. This is how the left often helps mainstream the far right.
Anyway the story is written such that you putz around until Valerian shows up and says, I can get your girlfriend back, which is the core problem.
The kicker is there wasn't actually a choice here, since you can do all missions. It's not refugee pandemic planet or steal happy gas from the Protoss, it was which one you wanted to do first. That's not a meaningful choice.
which presented everything as Kerrigan/Artanis building up until they were ready to take on Mengsk/Amon, but in WoL they all really have fuck all to do with each other. All the missions had to be written so they could be done in any order, which hurt the cohesion of the narrative.
imo the core flaw was Blizzard optimizing player "choice" in the campaign. This meant the campaign was a series of side quests you completed until it was time for the final quest. This worked a bit better in HotS and LotV,
These guys dont realize that, from Russias perspective, theyre either 1) spies or 2) traitors to their motherland. Neither of these is good to keep around
I mean the rank and file should have revolted en masse after learning he was behind the Zerg invasion of Tarsonis Though the cutscene from 2010 or 11 presents the problem as the masses learning Mengsk doesnt care about them, which is...quaint...
There's a cutscene where Horner catches Jim drunk in the AM and accuses him of risking everything just so he can get his girlfriend back, while Jim begs Matt to trust him. And the fact Horner is 100% correct on this point is never brought up again
'im not going to do that, Kerrigan' 'You will or else--' 'If my father learns we know Jim is alive and on that ship, he will either move him or kill him. Im not going to risk that just because you are impatient." "....huh, ok then. But [menacing threat bc Kerrigan is a dick]."
Kerrigan messages Valerian, Mengsks son who is working against his father, and gives him the cliche "tell the hacker you have 4 hours to find that ship OR ELSE."
Blizzard's macro writing has always been cliche, the 90s games were hard carried by micro characterization in cutscenes. So heres my favorite story moment from SC2 HotS, Kerrigan/Hyperion have learned Jim is alive and on a space prison barge. They have conscripted a hacker to find him.
Raynor siding with Nova over Tosh also makes no sense, and its the only player choice mission that is explicitly confirmed in narrative (Raynor sided with Tosh)
That's also Ryan Reynold's subplot in Waiting.... released in 2005
Wasnt trump going to pick the gov of North Dakota and theil (through junior) convinced him to take Vance?
Makes sense he would end up the popular target of conspiracies. Just for this alone
Trump has the skills of a doodler only a non-artist who has spent a lifetime in boring corporate meetings can match
Newsome *is* bending to the electorate www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
James Cameron was a truck driver who saw Star Wars and was so inspired by the special effects he immediately quit for a career in filmmaking
what sort of man does Death find too boring to hang out with? Answer: a government stooge who always does what hes told
Ingmar Bergman's The 7th Seal has a famous scene in which a man plays chess with Death. This invites the audience to question, what sort of man would Death hang out with? In Chainsaw Man, Death tells a character she wont help him because hes not fun, inviting the question:
What is it?
I miss when Conservatives had to pretend their objection to Rainbow Capitalism was the hypocrisy of leftists cheering Wal-mart and Amazon
this is a structural problem that threatens the entire industry: the financial incentives lean toward Takes but Takes ultimately depend on a bedrock of reporting that there is almost no working model for at this point.
Zizek is 3rd, Luka is 2nd
There was zero information ecosystem so one day you'd go into the arcade and a sequel cabinet would just be there with no warning. MK was popular, and then one day MK2 just *poofed* into existence
This was a bit before my time, but you'd go to the arcade and get good at fighting games, king of the hill winner stays, challenger pays.
1 neat trick: you can sell dolls/dollhousing to boys by making them do final assembly. Then they're building something with their hands, and is there anything more manly than that?
Also didnt the poll he's citing fail to replicate?
Not that it matters but "moving where the puck is" is not a phrase Ive ever heard wrt hockey. I have heard "chasing the play" and its usually a bad thing, it means the player is behind the play bc of physical limitations or poor anticipation
I dont think they had any real chance before his appointment/after losing Vicksburg but i dont think its too much an exaggeration to say Hood lost the war for the Confederacy
Part of the reason a lot of people dogpiled her is because of their hatred of this meme
Concerning amount of people not getting the hitler joke
She did mention she was bitter at the omnicausers in her reddit post
Contrapoints is not a reactionary lmao
This is why Matt Yglesias doing his centrism schtick is annoying, because one side despises everything he stands for and is currently burning down our scientific community out of spite toward people like him
One way to read the political divide is which elites youre mad at
He saw CommieMommy69 got 2k likes on "fuck the rich" tweet and that's why he threw in with trump
Hitler would win Florida though. He'd be charged with a public referendum passing that demanded communism be installed by 2032
Which also explains her fixation on anti-semitism on the left while playing defense for the right- billionaire projection
People are getting mad moreso at the (imo unintentional) condescending tone of the post + her refusal to match their energy level on the issue than the actual content
A reason they're pissed is because this is actually happening, every graduating high school class the graduates who are talented, hard working, or just don't want to live in rural areas move to urban areas, never to return (figuratively).
“Then they started to talk about cuffing me, and that if the kids were here legally, what do they have to lose by answering. I told them that they still have their fifth and fourth amendment rights, and that they don’t have to speak to you or help with any investigation.”
become air defense
Its happy surprise, positive critic reviews on rt so far were basically "its fine, i guess" which made me think DC may have pacified Gunn, so glad to hear thats not the case
Honestly a bit surprised lol, though I havent seen it yet
Esp since Asa got into this misunderstanding what denji wanted
Anyway i'm bored now, so behold as I graciously allow you the final word
>I think anyone who thinks you can vote against fascism is hopelessly confused. Spending 30 minutes to check a box is the easiest form of fighting fascism, and anyone who cant say they did it has no standing to call others "enablers"
Turning into a single issue voter for 2028, where the issue is which Democratic candidate will vow to nominate the most rabidly partisan, vengeful and hate-filled AG you can possibly imagine
I dont think someone who cant clearly say they voted against fascism can label others "enablers" Or a person is a reactionary because they took a position all the other reactionaries disagree with, for that matter
I dont think you voted for Trump
You were the one who brought up fascism enablers.
lol
Still didn't answer the question
You also called it "his most obviously reactionary view" lmao
Thats what I thought
