GTA 5: Michael gets cucked by Amanda, Trevor is bi & talks about fucking guys, and Franklin spends half the game crying over his ex. No one cared in 2013 but imagine it released in today’s grift-hate economy like GTA 6? Rockstar didn’t change, idiots got more sensitive & whinier.
This is what the institutionalists are focusing their efforts on now: Disavowing #HasanPiker.
Not white Christian nationalists? Not the broligarchs? Not the AI overlords?
Nope, the guy encouraging young people to use their collective political power for good.
F*ck that noise.
In the past week, Hakeem Jeffries has defended Randy Fine, condemned Hasan Piker, opposed Medicare For All, and previously held private meetings with Jared Kushner.
What an unserious "leader" in our fight against MAGA fascism. Us Democrats deserve much better.
MAGA is absolutely SEETHING today after Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani delivers yet another campaign promise—while they are still waiting for Trump to fulfill his first.
Mayor Mamdani is overhauling New York City Transit, returning 48 hours of travel time per year to New Yorkers. That’s two entire days on a bus eliminated every year.
Here’s what the updates include:
• New rapid bus corridors reserved exclusively for buses.
• Replacement of 40% of the aging fleet with brand-new vehicles. (2,500+ new buses)
• Fast-response dedicated teams assigned to each borough.
• All-door boarding.
• 100 new bus stop shelters.
• New benches and leaning bars installed at 875 bus stops.
• Guaranteed seating at every bus stop.
• New trees and protective covers at every bus stop to shield passengers from the elements.
This is what happens when you get "lazy."
I know people like Fallout 76, but when you get comfortable as a studio just releasing the bare minimum when it comes to updates for a live service game, your higher ups may wonder why they spent the money on you in the first place.
The executives at Bethesda are among the pettiest people I have dealt with in the industry. They play favorites, hold down people they don't like, and bully you as a content creator if you post things they "don't like."
I have a DM from a community manager asking me to delete several tweets simply because "some in management saw it and weren't too happy."
It brings me great joy that Bethesda is getting a fire lit under their ass. They have dragged out the new Elder Scrolls, mishandled the Fallout series, and their newest IP, Starfield, was widely panned as slop.
Get your shit together, you ain't Rockstar and your reputation is failing these days spectacularly.
Kyle Kulinski: “This country has become a bit of a sick joke in this moment. We didn’t really make it 250 years. This is a funeral for what the country could have been. We’re absolutely destroying this country day in and day out. They are looting, they are pillaging, and it’s disastrous to see”
How is it that that the dude who once used crack "every 20 minutes or so" understands modern politics better than nearly every mainstream Democratic Party analyst?
Underrated story in NY tonight is the discipline in candidate recruitment for DSA. Zohran got a lot of shit for torpedoing Osse’s run against Jeffries, but hard to argue now that he didn’t use his financial/political resources with near-perfect efficiency
“Crockett got her feelings hurt by some online trolls that had no affiliation to Talarico’s campaign so she has the right to throw a tantrum, fuck over Texas & help the Republicans!” Luckily these people are chronically online, deeply unserious & don’t represent anyone in the real world
Kyle Kulinski: “Tax every penny in net worth somebody has over $999M at 100%. It’s a no billionaires tax, no trillionaires tax. We’ll send you a fucking plaque in the mail that says I won at capitalism. We already have Gilded Age level income and wealth inequality. I’m surprised people aren’t breaking out the motherfucking guillotines already”
