Social Security starts running out of money in 6 years, as Republicans keep spending America into record debt. By the end of this term, Trump will be responsible for 35% of all US debt accumulated across 250 years of US history.

@TheFrankIsola No. Arsenal are going to have 2 starters at the beginning of our season with how they are dragging themselves through the tournament. All of them more important than Pulisic, none of them acting the way he did.
Can’t have Pete Buttigieg because he spent a year getting coffee for partners at McKinsey but the mercenary with the Nazi tattoo who beats women was fine up until this afternoon according to leftists
Why are leftists such terrible judges of character? Platner, Fetterman, Tulsi, Tara Reade. Why do they completely lack the scumbag radar everyone else possesses.
The internet reacts to Sony announcing it's killing off PlayStation game discs:
"Incredible of PlayStation to announce the end of physical disc production the week after they deleted all the movies you bought digitally from your account"

The culture around gaming has devolved from community building to whatever the fuck this is.
I spent so many days at the game store as a kid, chatting with the employees and playing on the kiosks.
Games used to come with illustrated manuals, posters, and sometimes demos from the same developer.
Midnight releases were damn near parties.
Special editions actually came with collectibles.
What the fuck is happening man
Kojima actually loved Supergirl and now all the incels are crashing out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't wait to see it. Half of them also probably never saw the good the bad and the ugly.
「スーパーガール」をIMAXで観た。”正義“と”悪“が対峙する中、自己犠牲で地球を救う“ヒーロー映画”ではなかった。トラウマを抱えた自分(カーラ)を救う“成長の物語”だった。”善”も”悪”もない生存本能だけの「マッドマックス 怒りのデス・ロード(2015)」というよりは、“善玉”、“悪玉”、“卑劣漢”が雲集する「続・夕陽のガンマン(The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 1966)」に構造が近い。
I saw “Supergirl” in IMAX. It wasn’t a “superhero movie” about saving the Earth through self-sacrifice as “justice” confronts “evil.” It was a coming-of-age story about saving oneself, Kara, as she struggles with her own trauma. Structurally, it feels less like “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), where everyone is driven purely by survival instinct beyond notions of good and evil, and more like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), where heroes, villains, and scoundrels all converge.
Again, the the benevolent god-figure Jor-El who sends his only son to Earth to be a beacon of inspiration was an invention of the Donner movie and was done to both make the Superman movie appeal to general audiences in America at the time, as well as a way to convince Brando to be Jor-El (since he'd basically be playing God).
Prior to the Donner movie, Kryptonian society in the comics evolved into a very strictly and arrogant scientific society that refused to listen to Jor-El's warnings about the planet's core about to explode. Jor-El simply sent Kal-El to Earth to save him from the destruction of the planet; the whole "light to show the way" BS was invented by the Donner movie.
Superman's goodness came not from Jor-El sending him to be a beacon, but because he was raised by two kind farmers in Kansas. Gunn's Superman understood that better than any Superman movie before it, and people are mad because it didn't follow the Christ metaphor that Donner invented fifty years ago.
I really love seeing all the #Supergirl posts. I'm so excited to go see it, but all the excitement and merch pictures just warms my heart as a comic book fan. Keep it up all! 👏👏
