“Tragically, a foreign influence bribing our politicians and receiving billions in tax dollars to commit genocide is being ripped apart by another foreign influence.”
Tragically, every word of this is accurate. It’s a foreign influence op that is ripping our Nation apart 👇👇👇

I would like to publicly announce that I don’t ascribe to record player fudd lore anymore. Go ahead and buy that shitty Victrola all-in-one player, it probably won’t hurt your records actually youtu.be/kZOj-eO8Mvw?is=B5Kl…

I can think of like 12 people off the top of my head
No one believes Russell Brand actually raped anyone. That's what's terrifying.

Kinda pissed off because America seems to have not researched school resource officer policy at fucking all. Trying to write a paper but you just can’t find studies of incident rates, response times, academic outcomes, etc before-after implementation. Nobody cared ig

Everything I find reinforces my belief, but it’s all fucking anecdotal. Very few people studied this shit at all, and when they did, they came up inconclusive. Wdym we’ve been running this policy for 40 years with no provable outcomes? Are we all fucking idiots?

Thank you QOTSA for releasing your worst and shortest album ever and then teasing even more terrible deluxe edition songs less than 2 weeks later

GTA VI is a console exclusive that “targets 30fps” on consoles that were sold with 4k 120fps on the box. Super fucking embarrassing for everyone involved
Grand Theft Auto VI - targeting 30 FPS PS5 Pro - PSSR and ray-traced shadows supported Xbox Cloud Gaming supported & remote play support on PS5/Xbox rockstargames.com/newswire/a…

I do think there’s a chance Trump 2.5 just rolls over and gives the left populists a field day, in hopes that he’ll avoid spending the last <10 years of his life in court and maybe even get to keep his name on a few buildings

This whole second term has been about his legacy. He has 2 options now. Play Mr. Veto and spend the rest of his life answering to subpoenas and having his family’s pet projects and businesses torn down, or he can just sign whatever and keep building his ball room probably

I wonder if Alan is going to bring his life story full circle in AW3 (Wow look at that acronym). In AW2, he affected Alex Casey’s past with the Cult of the Word. In AW3, will he retell his own history to find Alice in the Dark Place, thus causing his past self to meet Alice?

Night Watchmen carrying a gun and light, AWE, meeting Alice. Hell what about the Clicker? What if his future self wrote his own history, his own clichés, all from the Dark Place? “I’m my own deus ex machina.”

Obviously there’s plenty of literal dementia in AW2, but the dementia patients you meet are mostly harmed by Alan’s writing. Pat didn’t forget Wendy died. Cynthia didn’t lose the Angel Lamp or forget Tom’s job, it all changed around them, like Saga and Watery
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone discuss Alan Wake 2 being about dementia. Aging, sure. But the Dark Place is dementia. Alan loses time, his reality is makes no sense, he lashes out, hurts people, terrorizes Alice, but they still care for him. Everyone knows that’s not him.

This is really what seats most of AW2’s story neatly into place. Everything is retconned. Tom did and didn’t exist, he was and wasn’t a poet, Diver’s Isle did and didn’t sink, Saga did and didn’t live in Watery. The town is made of people and places with competing histories.

I’m not really sure why I continue buying records if all I listen to is Fugazi

I’ve yet to meet someone who disagrees with my politics. They might be fucking idiots and it all might leak out of their head the moment they walk away, but they don’t disagree. I bat 100 every time

I don’t want to write anymore 3 point essays using citations from academic databases. I do not believe it’s a productive use of time. Nobody is made a better writer for this. Nobody fucking writes like this.

Max Payne 2 above Max Payne 1 is always funny to me. “Please, give me a slower lamer story and boring levels and easier combat and horrible audio mixing and please PLEASE turn the saturation down 50%”

MP2 has funny physics and a cool end credits theme, I’ll give you that. I’m just baffled that people treat it like a masterpiece over the first game. Cool peripheral storytelling doesn’t make up for ripping the sci-fi and psychological elements and all the color out of the walls

Dark Marty Lost.
For the record, this is why I had to lock down yesterday. Marty's fans didn't like that I pressed him on basic issues so they doxxed me. Martin O'Donnell's Congressional campaign for the 3rd District of Nevada is off to a great start, doxxing people in it's first 24hrs
