black train conductor was rambling this evening. "I am once again reminding you that this train will not be making stops at X, Y, Z. Man, halfa y'all probably can't even speak English..."

@realKalos I would skip the Invention of Nature and just read von Humboldt's travelogues directly. The author is kind of a libtard and she often twists the meaning of what he actually believed.

@DaudReaboi If Fugitive Caesar to be believed, that country is America

@Amekage_1 @Boxy_FT Also it's probably not a good idea for a head of state to publicly discuss the REAL ways they plan to circumvent international sanctions

@bouvard38829538 Nobody's really happy about it, but nobody cares that much either. Everyone was (not unreasonably) afraid of some big disaster which wound up not happening, and then people forgot.

@TheRedGuyShow Cope for what? Just scroll through my TL and you'd find pretty quickly that I'm not a lib.

This PDF contains an impressive display of nerd myopia. The guy who wrote it gives exactly as much attention to some dork being banned for a forum post as to the studio's founders and head writers leaving. Total inability to filter for pertinent information. (Uh, no offense)

Here's a quick read about BioWare's downfall

You probably know a lot of this already

But you might appreciate a laugh down memory road

@0detobeauty You're posting naked ladies on the internet; hope that helps

@dr_sugo @seld_on I think the setting is supposed to look somewhat backwards and run-down, as they seem to have been aiming for a Space Western vibe. Not a bad idea, honestly, as space Westerns are a good genre and it automatically leaves room for a sequel set in the more civilized parts.

@Karl333777 Someone observed that baseball caught on in Japan because it's the sport that functions the most similarly to their favored form of turn-based numbers autism RPG battle system

@mapeslover69 Frankly, it sounds like these guys might have gang raped Lindsay Graham

@FlintChestnut Sad but true!

@ObamaGarak Iran forfeited any possible sympathy they might've earned when they bombed their neighbors and started firing on neutral shipping. Even people who hate the war don't give a shit if Iran is destroyed, aside from a few dumb third worldists.

@HeftyHaruspex One silver lining to mass migration is that we no longer have to wonder "who would win" in any fight between men of two different races, no matter how obscure

@ScottMGreer I feel like at least one of his transformers should have been able to turn into a car

@AshleyJMorton2 @BlakeSNeff Charlie stuck up for Tucker, and hoo boy did subsequent events prove Charlie wrong. Turns out the TPUSA donors were right, and Tucker Carlson is a perfidious snake who's spent the last year trying to destroy everything Charlie Kirk built. Why don't you get a clue?

Personally, I don't think that Utah County police, prosecutors, and defense attorneys are participating in a "humiliation ritual" to demoralize Americans into drafting women. It strikes me as rather, shall we say, implausible.

And let's be clear: If anybody is trying to demoralize ordinary Americans, it's Tucker. He's the one telling them that they should ignore record deportations, a massive drop in legal immigration, a 40% drop in drug ODs, record low murder rates, massive investment in reshoring manufacturing, stopping trans lunacy cold, and rolling back DEI, all in favor of a monomaniacal and relentlessly negative fixation on Israel. He's the one telling them "Why even vote, it's not real."

Personally, I think voting is real. I think 2024's election was very real for the 18-year-old white male who is finally getting the chance to apply for jobs on a fair playing field. It was real for the computer programmer who isn't getting replaced by an H-1B, or for the parent who isn't seeing their public school taken over by illegal immigrants anymore. It mattered for the person who didn't OD on smuggled fentanyl and the person who wasn't shot on the streets of D.C. due to the massive drop in crime.

2024 mattered for our country, and if someone is telling you that it didn't, or that the effect was completely negative, you should ask why they're doing that.
