Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

I would just like to note that the Allies started winning WW2 when they moved from naming their tanks after racist Confederate loser traitors (Stuart, Lee) to naming them after righteous Union winners (Sherman). The British caught on to this earlier, renamed the Lee the Grant, and never looked back.

I never bother claiming the glasses my insurance covers, they only cover the heavy ones that ruined my breathing by weighing down my nose while I was a kid.

Meanwhile if I do it's all-hands emergency call-the-specialists time because my retinas are garbage due to my eyeballs being the wrong shape.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph

Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

The story was fairly barebones, and the combat was basically one trick (dive and shoot in slo-mo) that it did REALLY well. Basically, if you weren't diving and shooting, or standing up to head for the next corner to dive round, something was wrong.

Also I tend to latch on to outliers, so it's no surprise that my favorite Remedy games would be the least Remedy games, just like my favorite Bethesda game is the least Bethesda game they ever made.

McNutcase @mcnutcase.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's wild to me to see that, considering my idea of "Remedy games" is Max Payne 1 and 2, which were basically all about the combat and felt amazing. I guess their focus has shifted over the years.

I seriously don't think a sequential Trump second term would've been THIS bad. It would absolutely have sucked ass, but it wouldn't have had the four years of Miller going full Wormtongue, or Trump seeing how much we fucking hate him, THEN coming back.

That would be why I think their politics are dodgy, yes. Fun note, I found out Neil Peart had passed because he was a regular driver in 24 Hours of Lemons events so they gave him a tribute...

In all honesty i should probably be digging deeper into prog rock, what I do listen to in that genre I tend to love. Just not sure where to go considering my main squeeze is this...

I'm still sure that the reason that one trucking company went out of business is they stopped having their trucks painted orange with the word YELLOW on them.
