given they haven’t even figured out yet that the media hates them I’m not optimistic they have any of this shit gamed out
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net)
normal people will say normal shit about sports and politics for free so the only way to get paid doing one of those things is to say stupid shit on purpose

watching that movie in theaters I thought I was going crazy when my friends loved it and I didn’t think it was remotely funny at all
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net)
look I’m wrong about lots of shit but if your strongest held principles are “dragons good” and “journalists bad” you’ve got a pretty good batting average imo

as always no posts from the scalehelix corporation should be construed as gambling advice

okay you have to admit Belichick tricking the haters into thinking they might be wrong for like twenty minutes is a good bit

as a lifelong philadelphia eagles fan I’ve certainly never overreacted to the opening drive of a football game before

yeah and those people scratched and clawed their entire life to escape their wretched homes to live in civilization while telling all the dumb rubes how much they hate the only thing they ever wanted

I like the on-field product of football to look past its moral sins but I can’t really say the same for hockey so
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net) reply parent
I know the morality of all pro sports is fraught but that shit was all a bridge too far for me and I’m not gonna pay attention again until they do something to make it right
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net) reply parent
my impression of the NHL is that their collective opinion on Russia invading Ukraine and on Trump threatening to forcibly annex Canada is that the aggrieved parties should just get over it for the sake of the locker room
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net) reply parent
I’ll be honest and say I’m a huge buzzkill but I despise both of them for liking Putin and trump respectively, so I literally did not give two shits about the goal record I stopped caring about the caps forever roughly half a second after I found out they went to party with Javanka after the cup
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net) reply parent
yeah I’m hesitant to post my amateur artwork and I don’t think the vast majority of people who follow me care about me trying to work through some OC backstory things

I got a book from barnes & noble about this like 25 years ago that seemed like a good historical intro to various world dragon myths but then they concluded with “hey maybe all these coincidences mean dragons were real” and I’m like cmon man

like I know they forcibly relocated some people to Kansas City or whatever but I really thought they were gonna do a fire sale on DC as more overt punishment for thwarting Jan 6th

one thing I was pretty wrong about was that I thought the admin would be following through on mass firings/relocations through divesting themselves of office space

I feel really bad for any public school teacher who is moving from CA or NY to Oklahoma in the first place because it’s probably due to forces outside their control

maggie haberman insisted for years that it was essential for her to do trump family beat sweeteners and pieces about trump’s mood (“upbeat!”) so that she could get insider access no one else could for the big stories, and she’s nowhere to be found

one way to understand why very rich people so often go mad is to realize they have long been surrounded by the kind of persuasive but truth-indifferent sycophantic affirmers that OpenAI and its peers have only recently made accessible to the rest of us.

I like how Sean Cleanhands doesn’t view his entire career as an in-kind contribution to ruining his autistic kid’s life because “I didn’t vote for trump” is the only metric that matters for it

I mean you were also a trump supporter until 2018 so maybe you're just a little slower at picking up on things than others are

does your newspaper have any collective sense of morality or is the horserace literally the only reason you cover elections

I don’t even think it is, I just think their nihilist worldview that they and their private school friends deserve to rule the world is more important to them than maximizing revenue

has any journalist said in their own voice that RFK needs to step down for the good of the country, like multiple editorial boards demanded of Joe Biden last year? Or does his desire to ban vaccines simply not rise to the same level of scandal to them
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net) reply parent
he gets the gentlest of pushback like a parent who doesn’t want to confront the fact their kid is a total shithead and in general the media agrees with him that the people who made something out of their lives besides get paid for idle gossip need to be taken down a peg

a gunman tried to murder CDC employees and HHS is leaving the bullet holes up as a reminder and the press got bored of it as a story within two hours

if they don’t want vaccines to be banned their past year of covering him is totally failing to demonstrate that to me
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net)
also a lot of the rage against trans ppl is from gamer dweebs that see a gamer girl as prospective romance material and get pissed off when they find out they were “tricked” by her being trans
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net)
they’re not doing it because they’re sensitive about lawsuits, they’re doing it because they like Kennedy and want him to succeed in banning vaccines

was the narrative that Joe Biden is cynically using his dead relatives as an opportunity to play-act at empathy not enough for them to figure it out
Sick Hunt, Dracones (@scalehelix.net) reply parent
yeah like who the fuck is preparing them for these interviews and why the fuck have they still not figured out the media hates their guts

I feel like they have absolutely no clue that this is coming and this is why they should hire me to help them with comms strategy

if trump actually dies in office one day I wonder if any democrat who goes on tv understands that they’ll be asked about how isn’t it actually Biden’s fault for setting the precedent for the white house to lie about health issues

An insurrectionist pointing guns at you and buying you a one way ticket on the USS The Implication is itself a crime.

the obvious rebuttal is “the biggest day of violence in DC in my life was on January 6th, he pardoned everyone involved and fired the people who prosecuted them, and now you want your audience to believe he has a sincere interest in reducing violent crime?”

They want to hedge becasue removing the hedge word suggests they stand for something. There's lots of signs NYT is broken but for me when an editor inserted in a line that hedged drinking bleach in 2020 as a covid treatment cause Trump said so that showed how broken they are.
