Currently lying just works. Demonstrably so across multiple countries. If media challenges it then it’s just seen as being biased and can thus be ignored by the other “side” without any further consideration. I miss politics being boring. Maybe it loops back around after everything gets fucked up.

Forearm bracers and codpieces feature in some sci-fi, so maybe they’ll loop back around into fashion.

Speaking of problematic comedy: The Elephant Graveyard YouTube channel (which has exposed Joe Rogan and his circle in a trilogy of impressive videos) has its Favourites playlist set to Public, and from skimming through it they’re clearly a Limmy fan, which I thought was pretty cool.

That’s all fine and lovely and thanks for clearing things up etc; but hating things is cathartic and even profitable in the algorithm, and the people decided you’re wrong. We live in a post-truth era where vibes and the mob narrative are the arbiters of truth. The game is trash.

What do you think the options are to effectively and realistically defend democracy? For us today, or for Germans in the 1930’s. Right-wing authoritarianism is self-assembling and is expected to be and therefore implicitlyallowed to be “the baddies” and get away with it, as we’re constantly seeing.

I think you’re right on that, too. But that this kind of nod to the apocalypse in a first-world country isn’t political suicide, and that they feel comfortable saying this publicly during a campaign event is pretty shocking from the outside, though.

Last time I looked somewhere around 50% of Americans believe in the antichrist, and somewhere around 45% believe they’re living in the end-times. I think that’s culturally and politically relevant.

Whether they believe it or not, they (and the world) know it resonates with the average American voter, which is the real problem. Especially in a world that is changing so quickly in climate and geopolitics. A culture that puts this much stock in apocalyptic mythology isn’t fit to lead anything.

I like that they make a permanent record of themselves saying these things. Useful for later.

Quite proud of the UK on this. Multiple prime ministers across the two major political parties on opposite sides of the political spectrum, yet there’s been no doubt about doing the right thing. No attempts at extortion or making “deals”, no fuckery, no hesitation, no change in tune.

When you’re the baddies you’re kind of implicitly expected and permitted to be naughty to an extent. It’s not news to point it out. Key to their progress is to keep confidently pushing it further, relying on that acceptance afforded to them as the baddie, until one day it’s dangerous to call it out.

Not really that controversial of an opinion, to be honest. Both countries currently run by a narcissist leading a political cult. Both are complete arseholes that should swing.

My favourite thing so far is that is just worked out of the box with my setup. Last time I gave Linux a go (a long time ago to be fair) it was an exercise in copy-pasting cryptic terminal commands from setup guides and then no games worked. Linux desktop really is ready now, especially with Proton.

CachyOS has made me get back into PC gaming again. It’s like the OS knows the PC is mine, and even rolling release updates feel painless. With Windows because I didn’t boot up often enough, every time I booted it would be nagging about rebooting for an update. Or finishing an update during boot.

Looking in from the outside, it seems as if this kind of thing has already been normalised and both-sides’d by the entertainment-based media for so long that it just gets a shrug. But I’m sure there will be many cutting and witty social media posts about how bad it is that’ll get a lot of likes etc

I think most languages have the equivalent of a a Japanese “ne”, but it’s just not considered formal grammar or taught. Aussies have: ay, Americas have: you know what I’m sayin’, British have: innit, and I once knew an old Irish man that ended almost every sentence with: like you know you see 😂

The first time I flew back to the UK to see family after being in Japan for a while, I noticed I was mentally shifting the “because” part of a sentence to the end, so when half-way through talking I basically blue screened realising there was no way to recover, and had to start again.

Multiple camera video crew all framed up nicely. I’d love to have been a fly on the wall to see how many takes it took to get it looking just right. Geriatric cowardly psychopath needs to ooze the right amount confidence and control for the servile domestic audience.

An act of terroristic desperation from an increasingly self-destructive and pathetic nation of criminals and the servile. Use these attacks as fuel to redouble your efforts in picking apart their infrastructure. Hit the botox and lip-filler storage tanks if you want to spark a real revolution 🤣
