starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:
I'm still a real cool guy. If you're a zionist, go ahead and block me. It'll save me the trouble.

There's an episode of the 90s outer limits that's kinda like that too. This guy is the last living human and he lives alongside holograms. None of them are 'real people' except the one that represents the program's super-ai. He ends up breaking her heart and she makes the sim ignore him forever.

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

I'm assuming this picks up eventually, or else the game'd have an atrocious rating. But goddamn. I'm almost 7 hours in and still waiting for it to start.
Heavy Handed Satire (@lurdiak.bsky.social) reply parent
And the game just keeps railroading me back to the plot, instead of letting me mess around, so I just have to sit there and watch another 40 minute cutscene with no stakes or villain. Not that there's anything to mess around doing.

Wow Infinite Wealth's pacing is goddamn awful so far. I'm in Chapter 4 and I still feel like I'm in the tutorial. The plot hasn't progressed at all since the inciting incident, I've yet to unlock the job system, I haven't recruited a single new party member... And no side stories in sight.

I know it’s soft pushback but I really do appreciate director Chris Columbus’ comments on JK Rowling, especially considering how influential he was in the visual look of the Harry Potter franchise right through to the new tv show, and also that he’s of Rowling’s generation.

As always, the worry with a 'peter thiel of the left' is that it'll just end up giving more reach to the people that specifically agree with their version of progressive views, and drowning out those that don't. Creating yet another boundary of acceptable political thought.

These fucking banks and service providers all invest in arms dealers and do business with genocidal regimes, then they come down and act like they've got moral issues with people buying porn. These sacks of shit act like queer content is immoral, but seizing people's homes after conning them isn't.

The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.

Trans rights are, at their most basic level, about bodily autonomy. Opposition to trans rights is therefore a strong signal that someone does not believe in bodily autonomy. When you combine this with how often they make trans *kids* the focus of their aggression that tells you something creepy.
