bbbbbut I thought political power flows from the consent of the governed!

MAO: Listen, kid...

They will use gimcrack AI to replace as many people as they can and offshore every job they can. They have already decided that Americans make too much money and have too many luxuries and ask for too much. They’re fine with taking their money and living in compounds in a poorer country.

Panel 1: Shen is keeled over a chess board in his chair at the park, sweating and gritting his teeth. He thinks "NO! I'M GONNA LOSE!! I'M... FALLING INTO DESPAIR..." Panel 2: It shows the chess board, with Shen's clenched fist on it. Shen is playing the white pieces, and his king is on H1 somehow behind 2 rows of 4 pawns. The black king is on B7 and the black queen on D8 threatens checkmate. Panel 3: A bishop comes in from off the board and takes out the black queen. Panel 4: Overly realistic depicting of Shen dramatically beginning to look over his shoulder, into the light. Panel 5: There's a person diagonal from him behind him with a chess board with just the white pieces set up. He has a confident smile. Sunbeams come down behind him and the wind blows the grass gently. Panel 6: Closeup of that person giving a thumbs up as the beginning of the song "Rap is a Man's Soul!" from Gurren Lagann begins to come on, with the lyrics "do the impossible, see the invisible..." The sun is producing a glare reflection off of his thumb somehow. He had moved his D2 pawn forward to D3 to line up the bishop.

But Matthew Yglesias said by condemning Platner the left was just not taking real white working class Nazis seriously? Matthew Yglesias! The lone voice of reason in America!

it's not "dooming" to doubt that the alleged opposition party will grant all your wishes when they retake the legislative majority

It was never good to begin with. These things only work because they've set up sweat shops in Africa to watch the feeds and get it working. Mechanical Turk glasses

IT CALLED ITSELF MECHAHITLER. I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY MAYBE MOVED PAST THE MECHAHITLER THING TOO QUICKLY.

Hi. I'm Matthew "Yggy" Yglesias. The content of all of my posts can be summed up with a not-Christian-but-Church-radio-safe band doing an awful jangle pop cover of Fear's "Let's Have a War". Everyone love me or you're bad

"You don't understand. Platner is Smoochy. Have you ever seen Death to Smoochy? The online left needs to stop looking for a Rainbow Randolph moment"

By next week I fully expect we'll hear about Graham Platner being at a Klan rally and we'll get a hundred think pieces calling it "a Rainbow Randolph situation"

Promoting the Second Gig KS with some subtle messaging (posting "Boy it sure would be nice if one of the RPGnet posters who follow me found and bumped the Hard Wired Island thread or something")

What a rag!

Come on man this guy runs into so much Nazi stuff on "accident" it could be the plot of an oughts British anti-comedy

they want more and bloodier casualties hoping it will force people to care

I hear a different nazi thing about this guy every week. Is he the Philomena Cunk of forest nazis?

This is very true. Who is circling the wagons around this guy? The same morons looking for a white working class whisperer who don't mind that their strategy is finding the most palatable Hitler heiler

Analysts said it was not clear that destroying the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a 180,000-strong force, was possible. And Israeli officials have not said exactly how they plan to lay the groundwork for the regime's overthrow, or what might come after that, though they have suggested covert operations may be involved. Summarising the Israeli government's position, Citrinowicz said: "If we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn't care less about the future... [or] the stability of Iran.

I notice that it was left shitposters who immediately said the aim here would be to turn Iran - a country of ninety million people - into a war-torn, ungovernable Mad Max hellscape, if possible.

Whatever

hahaha done with this bullshit

it's okay to socially ostracize parents who won't vaccinate themselves or their children, in fact we should be doing it as a rule

sometimes a coworker will drop offhand a piece of lore that feels like finding an audio log in a survival horror game

I'm always stunned whenever I see this guy's actual writing.

you know you can do what you want, but i would recommend never using any of these fucking chatbots and absolutely keeping them away from the people you love, especially your children

Where we're going, we won't need consoles to game

is it a good sign when the uniform response to a classified briefing is basically everyone immediately doing a vertical video about it in which they spend most of the time screaming that we’re all gonna die?

hence, the liz lemon democrats
