As much as I love Fate, it also plays out like if a bunch of jocks got together and made a mean-spirited parody of what they thought anime was like.

Really think around Trump, mentioning Obama is like that part in The Lion King where the hyenas mention Mufasa in front of Scar.

Thinking about the way Brexit preceded Trump's election in 2016 and hoping this presages his humiliation in 2024.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

I agree with the people who say film superheroes should be less ashamed by their source material and embrace it, but I feel like if they did these same people would be talking about how the cosmic treadmill is stupid.

It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"

Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

The NYT’s refusal to fact-check opinion pieces is among the most pernicious bits of journalistic malpractice going, and this is a paper that shares significant responsibility for the Iraq war, the Trump presidency, and the ongoing assault on trans rights in this country.

Another thing to think about re the elite revolt against Biden is he *is* the president who funded the tax police and ended the cozy wink, nudge relationship on dodging the taxes they claim to support.

I now fear that the damage is done whether Biden stays on or not. And I don't think it's primarily about the debate at this point. It's now panic about the panic. And yes, you can say Biden's team should've done a better job at quieting the panic, but ultimately I blame the panickers.

1. Restore Roe. Biden is already saying this. 2. Limit the Supreme Court. 3. Pass gun safety laws. 4. Eliminate student debt. 5. Expand the ACA. Lots more. Pass it on.

It is up to American voters to hold Trump accountable on November 5. It's particularly incumbent on minorities, including Jewish Americans, who would likely be the target of Trump-emboldened extremists, to defend our democracy

I know they don't actually believe it but it's amazing the cognitive dissonance between 'the election was stolen and the votes weren't counted' and 'I am going to make sure I vote in this election'.

Very Serious People can't resolve the cognitive dissonance involved in the knowledge that Trump was involved with Epstein's pedo ring and so pretend its a conspiracy theory or didn't happen. Trump inexplicably gave the guy who let Epstein skate a cabinet post! All out in the open!

When someone in a creative field is outed as a creep, "i never thought that guy had talent" is not a useful response. Its centering you and your aesthetic tastes in a situation where they are completely irrelevant.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

The "Clout" we chase online will be remembered by future historians similar to how we understand "Honor", They might even romanticize it, which will be very funny.

I still have affection for it, but like Underworld, I enjoy the premise and mood and individual parts more than the movies as the sum of those parts. It's a reverse Frankenstein.
