I can barely tolerate two. In theory they should be on the same day, one interview. Hiring manager, actual manager, done. Anything more than that is insanity and is part of why my hair is turning grey.

Famously, "I'm going to fund the military and the police and compromise with Republicans and close the border" are overturning the machine.

Doing Cai's part one and part two in a row without doing any other paths definitely wasn't the intended way to play this game. Maybe I'll try part two again sometime if I feel like replaying this game after doing all four parts 1 and 2.

Anyways, uh, fuck this shit, don't use genAI, and support small projects trying to be genuinely collaborative, rather than this awful tech built with a philosophy of other people's consent & privacy not mattering.

Would be a ton of change required, but ideally it leaves no single "strong man" in charge.

I've often speculated/theorycrafted "What if we just had a set of cabinet roles, and elected those instead?" for executive agencies, with proper Democratic recall functions for each. No more executive orders, just a department for the necessary bureaucracy and enforcement arms.

Feel like that only happens if we abolish the Presidency. Which I'm totally down for TBH.

LOL, implying that Harris wouldn't try to compromise with the fascists by putting a Trump in her cabinet.

Nope, not at all. Would be great if they realized the idiots are very outnumbered and unpopular.

So... Doom doesn't create Battleworld by merging the multiverse to bring lots of heroes together in the film they already named Secret Wars? Same energy as "The Arkham Knight isn't Jason Todd" tbh.

Oh no! Some hypothetical made up white person's concert was cancelled and they were sad! That totally means more than the *fucking genocide*. Fuck off.

Yep. In my case it was on a kitchen table we had to toss because the potato melted and soaked into the wood. Would not come out, permanently sticky.

I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.

Incompetence didn't stop Vance from becoming an author, a Senator, a VP, or a couch fucker.

I was just saying that he can't even vote "no" correctly or consistently. Like, the bare minimum. If that's his only power he isn't using it.

Talking about Durbin, Schumer, and dozens of other Senators who've voted for everyone from RFK Jr. to Marco Rubio. No Democrat should be doing *anything* to support the Trump administration's fascist agenda, and yet at every turn they do.

And I don't trust the Senate *not* to decide they can work with their "reasonable" former friend Vance, given how often they capitulate to fascism to protect their paycheck.

Would be great if they, you know, didn't vote for Trump's court picks, cabinet picks, or vote yes on his budget bills in return for vague promises. If the filibuster means anything they could quit caving.

Should, really. "Lost" can remove agency from the killer, as if they met a tragic accident instead of the violence being inflicted intentionally.

I'll join the club and throw Cuomo under the bus here. I'd argue that it's governors who had to have principles to win their seats, as opposed to ones running in safe blue states.

Yeah... Joe Manchin was all "I want more things for me and my profit" (though also mass murder since US politicians gonna still support colonial aggression) and Fetterman is all "I'm all in on mass murder and hate my constituents and brag about it". Don't want either anywhere near power.

Star Wars Zero Company continues. Definitely beginning to have a bad feeling about things... How close to the end of the Clone Wars are we, and are we sure we can trust that Anakin has our best interests at heart? Live at www.twitch.tv/galacticbaron

Like, even Joe Manchin wasn't *this* bad. Though also the Senate when Manchin was involved had a least a little more backbone...

Their power *to vote*. The election wasn't won with protests alone. You don't just get to say words and pretend that they mean anything, that just makes you an armchair protestor. Get real or screw off into the void you were spawned from.

GalacticBaron @galacticbaron.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Before you put words in my mouth "You're arguing protests don't do anything" absolutely not. I said protests can't remove people from power, they still need the system to do that for them in response to the protest. You just need a lot more people for that in a larger (and more militarized) nation.

Orban was removed via election. Albania's president was impeached by parliament. *Neither* was removed from power by mass protests, they were removed by the system. You literally cited two examples that *prove me right*. Despite your ignorant post there have been massive protests in the US against

Sorry, I don't deal in fed posting. The only non-"I want the FBI to knock on my door" way to remove an elected politician from power in the US is for other elected politicians to gang up on them and impeach them. There is no recall system in the federal government, so lying is the winning strategy.

GalacticBaron @galacticbaron.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Americans aren't self-governing, because Americans lack any form of recall or power over their politicians. You can vote for whoever you like, and then most of them turn around and do the opposite of their platform as being in power insulates you, as long as everyone else plays the same game.

Look up the letters that Star Wars fans wrote to Lucasfilm (or posted publicly in newspapers) after the Empire Strikes back came out. Look up what online forums said about Wind Waker. And of course, look up the never-ending debates about the best Pokemon game, starting as far back as gen two.
