going to say again we never recovered from the post-9/11 escalation of “every Muslim wants to kill you” rhetoric being accepted as a political position

Two things: Reactionary conservatives have no sense of tone. this is asking for Mamma Mia lighting, or a tourism ad. Before thinking about this too much id also argue they don’t really care as much as they purport to. mostly because complaining about woke things is now its own little industry.

Any conversations about AI like this should pass one question before proceeding: does AI make anyone money other than evaluation for shares?

Beyond just being dumb; tough shit baby! Make some movies if this winds you up so much! What’s that? Your side cant? Too bad then!

Maybe I’m being overly negative but this way of framing fandom is so self-aggrandizing. Just a constant patting One’s self on the head for liking something; not sufficiently enough to just enjoy something on its own.

I know this has a long history predating modern times, but I still get blown away by ordinary shmucks being like “I’m the correct kind of Catholic, not THE POPE.” Like he’s your Catholic king doofus, he won the “most Catholic” contest, it’s why he has the hats now.

Ongoing theory: no one really knows what kind of person they would actually become if they had access to wealth and power. Some people get addicted to plastic surgery. This is the kind of guy Eric Adams became.

Been said by others, but this is the most telling angle of how the vast majority of “human shields“ in Palestine are actually being harmed. The occupying force delegates that whoever they kill is always the opposition’s fault, by mere proximity to them.

it does track that if you had to guess “How would Stephen Miller react to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas“ you’d probably go with him thinking “God I hate brown people.”

Absolutely aesthetically repugnant movie.

1.) Mamdani’s reach is insane 2.) it’s incredible how alien a life some people have. I can’t imagine living in a state and not only not knowing if there was an election for them to vote it or not, but also thinking they could vote for Mamdani?

This is demeaning of me and not at all important to any kind of political discourse — but — these people are some of the most profoundly physically ugly dudes. You can see through the pictures how fucking bad they smell.

Over the last 10 years or so, a real cluster of men emerged that will effortlessly admit that the only real defining trait they want from entertainment is to see a young woman they want to fuck.

In order for Democrats to communicate how they effectively want the world to be a truly better place, a good one to start on is gradually disbanding ICE and repatriating the funds

This is just the chud version of that SNL skit with Adam Sandler about how if you’re depressed, going to Italy won’t fix that. You’ll just be depressed there.

Again there’s no need to worry about countering this messaging with any overly thoughtful response: these people do not care about anything other than what they can say or do to potentially weaken or harm people they don’t like.

Matty Arbuckle @grumplekrumble.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

I’ll say this again: a big part of the reason that Dems struggle nationally is that many don't even bother articulating their visions of how the world can be a better place to live, and too many are constantly trying to be antagonistic to broad liberal ideals.

I think it’s fair to use this as a primary example of why the administration’s intentional lack of professionalism is a destructive strength. This would be an easy and deserved scandal under any other presidency, because people in those positions would have high standards.

Reactionary gamers are constantly in this weird space where they seem to be ahead of cultural movements, but also like 10 years behind on everything. We’re gonna have to hear about DEI complaining from gamers until the 2030s.

Hate giving the egg headed freak even a moment of consideration, but there is no tenable reality where the the owners of capital want the prices of commodities to drastically drop.

GOP politics for the last 8 years is like the Black Mirror episode where the Prime Minister has to fuck the pig live on TV to save the princess, except they’re just volunteering to fuck the pig for exposure

This is the look of a man Hollywood execs would run people over to cast in 1987.

I’m not the first person to make this comparison but a lot of American’s perspective of political solutions is this Simpsons joke:

There’s a lot of noise in the potential positive changes that can be made after this election but maybe the most perfectly clear one is that the Clinton era of democratic politics does not have mass appeal any more. I’d say take it to the woodshed but it’s already dead.
