A Little Lad Who Loves Berries And Cream Green

That was 100% a “whoosh” on my part, had just rolled out of bed and brain wasn’t firing on all cylinders yet.

Look at human history and you will see that every conflict can be settled if you are just willing to use words and nothing else.

An admirable sentiment, but I feel like you and I read very different history books.

“I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?”

Death thought about it.

CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE.

In case anyone’s curious what the above is about, it’s a journal by Clive Wearing.

I misread that as Starcraft and was imagining “I go by ‘Overmind, The Eternal Will Of The Swarm’ now”

Next week: turns out there are more orcas in Louisiana waters than we thought. Who knew?

Has porting anime to live action ever resulted in something good? I don’t understand taking stories that depend on outlandish expressive animation and going “let’s make this more realistic”. Makes as much sense to me as trying to release a concerto as a flipbook.

Killing a shitload of Nazis seemed to help last time.

Feels like we’ve killed Ridley like 10 times across the series.

How did Diddy get off with so much?

“Yay, I’ve finally beaten it!”

Music swells, choir begins chanting in Latin, boss’ corpse begins to float and glow

I love how you dodged more than half of the issues, knowing you didn’t have jack shit.

Hence your substantive engagement on what I did mention?

you love mamdani

Never claimed this.

If they’re all the same

Never claimed this.

You should hate him too, right?

None of this is about hate, it’s about which policy decisions are better than others.

So I guess they’re not all the same and Democrats are, objectively better, is that right?

Again, never claimed.

Everything you’re saying comes across as being less about “how do we improve things” and more “I need someone to be angry at.” I would propose directing that anger at the politicians instead of your fellow voters.

Harris wouldn’t have advocated turning it into a riviera

I’m sure the dead would take great solace that their killer didn’t also have real estate ambitions.

leaving aside the fact that Bibi explicitly wanted

Biden was not known for standing up to Israel, to put it mildly. When Harris was asked what she’d do differently than Biden, her answer was “there is not a thing that comes to mind.” She later amended that to “what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me? … I’m going to have a Republican in my cabinet”.

LGBTQ+ rights

The “T” there being the people the Dems immediately tried to throw under the bus when they lost?

Economic Inequality

I mean, look at all the love and support the party is showing Mamdani after he kicked Cuomo’s ass in the primary 🙄

Look, I get your point, and I voted for Harris (grudgingly), but until we primary enough of these crusty old Republican-lites in party leadership these losses are just going to get worse. They yelled and screamed (rightly) about how Democracy was on the line, and when their option was “save Democracy or move right” they chose the latter.

Respectfully, I don’t see the sense in complaining about “wedge issues” and then turning around and driving wedges between you and other people trying to get the party’s head out of its ass.

Electric element. Team Yellow vs Team Blue, FIGHT!
