People hate AOC bc her enormous popularity validates the idea that participating in electoral politics can grow the socialist movement. She also reveals the compromises winning power entails. Some people wanna go back to being a tiny club that’s right all the time. They’re wrong.

I am so sick of the moral panic about everything but killing people.

They’re normalizing making resistance to the state illegal and telling you that they’re fighting fascism.

If Cyclops gets too popular, it's going to cause a "Don't you know who I am? I'm the god damn Cyclops" era, where he's kicking people in the nuts and walking away from explosions and stuff.

Kinda shocked how little liberals seem to understand this moment as a crisis for their position, as its contradictions explode everywhere

People saying "game journos are racist because they hate Japan because Japan is homophobic and treats women like sex objects" are soooo close to figuring out who the real racists are, yet so far away

My favorite underrated thing about Fallout 4 is that the gun crafting lets you actually experiment and make terrible guns that look stupid. Not enough games with crafting let you make failed items and actually use them to see what they do.

It's funny that people dump on Ken Levine's politics based on Bioshock when he hasn't made a game in over a decade. You probably don't know his politics at all. In fact, there's a bunch of lighthouses where he has different politics in each one. Just go to another one.

People love to quote-tweet stuff saying "Why can't you guys be normal?" First of all you know this is an online loony bin and second you've been here for years, time to stop pretending you're a visitor and not a patient

“Let me stop you right there…” Caribbean nation Guyana is booming after discovering oil. BBC’s Stephen Sackur puts it to President @presidentaligy; lobbyists say oil is bad for the climate. Dude wasn’t having it. Mans was ready!

Have you noticed that hidden in almost every disaster like the the Francis Scott Key Bridge, East Palestine and Boeing is a story of how Republicans worked with corporations against safety regulation in order to boost profits?

I don’t think borders should exist and if you’re really adamant they do I think you’re likely just racist

This is Sylvia Gonzalez. At age 72, she won an upset victory for city council after campaigning to oust the city manager. The mayor didn't like that. So he had her arrested & jailed. The Supreme Court is about to hear her case, which has largely gone unnoticed. A thread.

2020 gave the game away. The obstacles to better things were imaginary all along. It’s deeply ironic that such a horrible trash fire of a year was the most optimistic time in generations. And it was all snatched from us to restore a status quo people no longer believe in.
