DHS has never gotten much respect in law enforcement and intelligence communities (in the latter it was basically second to last in the pecking order). Now it’s suddenly flush with cash and high priority and I think it’s very much botching the opportunity at every turn.
ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.
"When I am weaker than You, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles."
-Frank Herbert, Children of Dune
I get so mad every time I understand a "Baileys" reference. I shouldn't have to know about this! (Or that they used to be the O'Reillys but he apparently thought that was too ethnic).
leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening
historians: that thing is definitely happening
star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it
news outlets: these protesters are out of control
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."
After 2 days of playing the new #Doom I am only ready to say one thing
I really, really miss Mick Gordon’s music. Finishing Move did well, but…it’s just not the same.
Listen,I get it,I was an HP kid too. That shit was my first hyperfixation,it took over my whole life.But you know what I did when I found out the creator was a TERFy pos?I stopped supporting it! It’s that easy, trust me. The books really aren’t even that good. I promise you’ll find something better.
saw a Princess Mononoke 4K IMAX screening today. As many times as I’ve seen their films, this one felt the most like rediscovering Ghibli. Can’t wait to spend tomorrow watching the rest of my favorites.
support real animation, folks!
The Gaza Strip right now is as if the Nazis had 21st-century weaponry and bombed the shit out of the Warsaw ghetto. The remaining people are concentrated in squalid conditions, homeless, then blown apart in their tents. Jets and drones render extermination camps extraneous.
I think my favorite lyric of any patriotic song is from the battle hymn of the republic: “as he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free” which is an energy modern Americans need today
god fucking dammit why the fuck did my speakers have to go out now of all the goddamn times right fucking now when I’m sick and can’t work and won’t be able to replace them. Records are one of two sources of joy I have left and now I’m stuck with no way to listen to them. I didn’t need this shit
#MHWilds seems really neat but honestly I like the more stylized look of Rise a lot more. World was my first and I definitely prefer Rise to that as well.
In totally not related News…it’s 12:30 AM already?
the youth have zero imagination, it's called "gathering under an abandoned bridge in the woods in the dark with BLLs and someone's shitty bluetooth speaker" www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...
The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.
It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
got into Monster Hunter last year when I finally actually figured out how it worked, then played 500 hours of World. Can’t afford to buy Wilds so I’m finally playing Rise and oh god my life is about to be completely ruined
