I am getting very tired of people blaming βprivate equityβ for changing consumer behavior.
Private equity didnβt degrade the quality of the clothes you buy, ultra fast fashion and online shopping where you sort by low price, then buy clothes without ever actually touching them did that.

I'm doing a thread of funny twitter/tumblr posts except they're about Gundam
I'm lucky that, while my local bus system isn't great, it's better than nothing, and available to me if I can't drive, or don't feel like it.
A LARRY FLYNT PUBLICATION EXCLUSIVE! PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S KILLERS REVEALED! ANGIE DICKINSON NUDE!
We used to have proper magazine journalism in the USA
He's MAGA, so that's basically a participation grade for being a pedo.

He's Drew Pedolou, so
I permanently associate paper shredders with Ollie North.
These guys really like thinking about other men's weiners. Hmmm π€
That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out.
Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."
I remember the whole galaxy salivating over her that year RE7 dropped, myself included. I wish she was in more of the game!
I'm pretty vintage WRT Resident Evil; RE2 is still my favourite, and I like the first game a lot, too. I still have my PS1 discs for them!
Hey, we got Lady Dimitrescu a few years ago, so why not? :P
Kyle Reese, from The Terminator.
The Simpsons, with Lionel Hutz thinking of a bunch of people dancing and singing.

I think Yesterday's Enterprise, in addition to being some of my favourite Star Trek ever, probably has my favourite battle as well, keeping a fast pace, but also the naval feel. Excellent soundtrack, too.
The feel of this episode reminded me of Macross/Robotech.
I remember my parents banning me from that film for a while, even after letting me play the MS-DOS Robocop 3 game (which I like a lot). When I watched it as a teen, that shotgun scene showed me why.
On a side note, I only like the first film, but I love the ZX Spectrum and Game Boy games it had.
I've read two full novels in one day.
The Fault In Our Stars, and the novelisation of Star Trek VI, both excellent and moving stories, albeit VERY different.
Who'd thought the one with phasers and torpedoes would end more happily than the YA book?
Nice! I'm always amazed by the web and networking stuff y'all do with classic Macs. I still have an old Power Mac that I'm long overdue to work on. Even in emulation, I haven't messed with much Mac stuff as of late!
I'm not a big AOC fan, but she cooked here.
I'm on a massive kick of military science fiction/mecha stuff (especially Robotech/Macross and Gundam stuff, and their associated model kits), and I keep seeing Patlabor mentioned, so that's on my itinerary.
Wasn't there a mention of something like that in Star Trek? I thought I remembered something of that sort in the TOS era, but I'm probably misremembering.
I'll take it!
And you know it's serious when Tom is posting a Star WARS meme. :P
So it's basically American Graffiti in space? :P
In the age of Trump, we sometimes forget that a good message like this is the right thing to do.
Real fucking rich for this administration that has more or less hung Ukraine out to dry in terms of support--and repeatedly tried to get them to cave to Russia on top of that--to come hat in hand to them now asking for help for a stupid war they launched on a lark
Thanks to a visit to the USA Gundam warehouse in Daytona Beach, I got a model kit from the 1983 anime Armored Trooper VOTOMS.
This one looks bigger than the HGs that I'm used to, but I'm having fun building, minus those damned tiny stickers!

Logistics is woke. Supply is woke. End-state planning is woke. Force protection? Believe it or not, woke
Oh so the Epstein Files are BAD bad
Seeing the Iranian regime take a hit is justice for the drones they sold to Russia.
But for Ukraine, this war isn't a clear win.
Spiking oil prices fund Russiaβs war on Ukraine, Western munitions are drained, and global focus is lost.
We can't let regional chaos starve Kyiv
