Orwell really had a sense of how absurd fascism is when it comes to redefining things on the fly as the need arises. π«

Dan Trachtenberg saved the franchise. Hero!
Loved it! No reason we shouldnβt have Predator sci-fi adventure movies younger and older people alike can enjoy. Leaps better than Avatar and the like, thatβs for sure.
Itβs better today than any other point in its history, when it was mindlessly boosting techbro-fascist idiots. I also still have 1.1.
The irony is, they were a significant voice in boosting the PayPal Mafia at al. for many years (I say this as a reader from issue 1.1). Iβll take the turnaround! When you help create a beast, the least you can do is help put it back in the box. π
I always forget how big they are until I see one from time to time here in Maryland. Impressive boids!
One ping only!
Well, if the children are all like Macaulay Culkin in The Good Son.
Ayatollah Kristi Noem?

Itβs just outright white power (βheritageβ wink wink) Christian nationalism.
Whoo boy weβre in for it.
I canβt think of too many economists who think of it as sustainable? Especially when so little value is generated from the spend.
US Federal debt chart from Q1 1966 to Q4 2025. The chart begins at essentially nothing, and curves upward to $38.51 trillion dollars. The chart begins to curve precipitously upward a few years into the new millennium, really beginning to jump in 2009, the beginning of Obamaβs first term. Itβs just jumped since then, with a notable blip up during the Covid 19 pandemic.
This chart seems like a problem. π
I find it deeply moving. I do have to look away at points, but overall Iβm just overwhelmed thinking about how many people deal with total insanity to help others in the most traumatic of circumstances for the highest stakes. Mr. Rogersβ Momβs advice is as relevant now as ever: Look for the helpers.
Perhaps it looks like theyβre coming out of nothing because you canβt measure the measurer, as the measurer, because thereβs only one measurer. ποΈποΈβοΈ

Gramps, nice
The USA used to actually regulate businesses. You may be too young to remember?

I still have my 1991 softcover edition of Simians, Cyborgs, and Women. :-)
We have it, no implants required. They can (and do) rewire our brains wirelessly. Iβm telling you, our reality is quite a bit more dystopian than most cyberpunk envisioned. Itβs much more βelegantβ in how weβve actually implemented it all. No crusty implants to get infected, just the black mirror.
TRY HARDER! π
Get with the program! π

Huh.
Itβs outright corruption now, in the open. Pay to play. Who does Trump personally like more, and you can pay him to βlikeβ you.
Gamers deserves to be its whole own category IMO. That segment got owned. Iβd believe that Skrillex was a fascist plot, honestly. π
There was a ton of deregulation that occurred, allowing for hyper-consolidated channel groups, major studios buying other major studios, etc. I mean weβre in particularly cartoonish times now because thereβs no pretense about approvals coming down to Trump getting a cut, in one way or another.
Keep awful people in the majority in positions of power, bad outcomes occur. It was useful up until when it was overturned.
Weβve always had rigged elections, is the truth of it. In various ways. Itβs never been βfair.β The unfairness is literally baked in.
