it’s why Trump put him where he is, doing what he’s doing. after everything you think a little mockery is going to get trumps goat. really? after beating every indictment and prosecutions cold, and then running , and winning the pesidency, again, after everything. ok, buddy, knock yourself out.

sure, that’s what they said about trump after his first go around, and they said it after every indictment, and then he was elected president again. if you haven’t noticed yet the game is fixed, and not on the side of the angels. expecting any real justice for white supremacist billionaires in america is folly.

well, I appreciate that

lol, Shakir? “Martin won a majority vote among DNC members on the first ballot, 246.5 to 134.5 for Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party. Martin O’Malley received 44 votes, Faiz Shakir received two and Jason Paul received one” you’re so out of touch, i don’t even know what to say.

lol, organize.

all democratic youth had to do was cast a ballot in a safe, open, free election, the lowest entry, simplest, easiest action anyone who wanted to prevent the fascist from returning to power where he was promising everyone he was going to burn all their civil rights to the ground. instead leftists marched on every major american city, and took control of university commons across the country, in protest of jews in support of islamofacist terrorists chanting “from the river to the sea” which one would have to image not only freaked out middle america, but all of it

more arab and latino americans voted for donald trump than have ever voted for any republican candidate before in american history

organize, jesus fucking christ, these self destructive antisemitic idiots couldn’t even cast a vote

resist? young american democrats couldn’t even be bothered to vote. simple, safe, free, elections, even after having lost nationwide safe access to abortions, young democrats didn’t show up. you know who did young republicans, and more arab and latino americans than have ever voted for any republican candidate in american history before, and they voted for trump. active sustained resistance? they couldn’t even be bothered to vote, man.

Even Leftists hate other Leftists due to the aggrandizing resource depleting insufferability of micro causes

Donald Trump and every single prospective member of his Cabinet are a National Security Risk, every fucking one. Americans have been well aware of this since the last time Trump was President, and a Million Americans died from a purposefully inept Federal Global Viral Pandemic response. The majority of Americans obviously couldn’t give a shit as evidenced by their either voting for Trump in November, or simply staying home and deciding not to cast a vote. It is the end of all things. We are doomed. This is not hyperbole.

If someone gives you the opportunity to play Lex Luthor in a major Hollywood production, you jump at it. End of.

Do you think marching with Islamic Jihad supporters, taking over University commons from coast to coast hoisting swastikas, chanting “From The River To The Sea” in every major American city all through last Spring and Summer scared the absolute bejeesus outta just middle America, or all of it? AOC should start her own “Squad Party”.

dinner and a show

Watched the first episode last night, and was left underwhelmed. There’s a lot of lore they pack into the first 5 minutes of exposition, which was fine, explaining the origins of the War against The Thinking Machines, and the Atredies/Harkonen feud.

But watching the show, a couple things struck me which took me out of the narrative they were trying to tell:

1. The CGI is just ok, and far more noticeable in the show than it was in the movies, and this is understandable given the difference in CGI budget, but it wasn’t as immersive.
2. This story having taken place 10 THOUSAND years before the events of DUNE, humanity is already mining spice on Arakis? Already fighting the fremmen?, The Bene Gesserit is already in ALL the major houses in the galaxy after only 130 years? Valya has personally developed THE VOICE as “something I’ve been working on” lol? I’m sure this is all in service of how Herbert wrote the book (*edit: this just in, the writer has just learned that DUNE PROPHECY isn’t actually based on a Frank Herbert book, witch makes a ton more sense as to why it’s so disjointed narrative) , but I was stuck by how little the DUNE universe seems to have changed in 10 Millennia. Just seems like “hey folks you know all the stuff you loved about the DUNE movies, well, here’s a TV show that’s not meant to step on that cash cow’s narrative, but it’s the same, just you know 10 thousand years before, really … ta-da!”

As an aside I once saw a YouTube video, which tried to explain the lack of technological advancement in the Game of Thrones universe, due to the overwhelming threat Dragons posed, and how that affected the development of modern weaponry, and stymied almost all forward technical engineering progress. Also while I’m ranting, so “thinking machines” are out, to the point of almost publicly executing a little boy for playing with a transformer toy, but the Emperor has a 3D vid holo projector, how exactly does THAT work without thinking machines, i wonder.

Now lastly, and this is a personal preference, I’ve never been a Emily Watson fan, I find her difficult to watch.

I’ll most likely keep watching every Sunday, because for all it’s foibles, it’s still top notch scifi, though not nearly on the same level as FOUNDATION or THE EXPANSE

but it will answer

quick 20 minutes, in and out

Had a friend exactly like this, never made it to Robert, RIP Rob

I mean if the Greens allow themselves to be represented by an antisemitic islamic jihadi, trump, russia, and iran mouthpiece for cash, how could you post anything that was PRO Greens at this point, lol

See, the problem with publicly traded corporations is, they’ve got to constantly not only be making as much money this year as they did the previous year, but they’ve got to increase shareholder value, which means, raising prices, or reducing the product to save costs, we have termed that last bit enshitification. I mean, they don’t HAVE to, but if they choose not to, the board of directors will push for a change in CSUITE personnel, and those fuckers are raking in the big bucks, and really really like their 3rd vacation homes in Aspen, so you pay more, or you get less, and sometimes you pay more AND you get less. And the beat goes on.

this dude is so pissed off at this show for all the right reasons, when you read it you can hear his little nerd brain go squeeeeeze, hahahahaha. i hate rings of power so much.
