Favorite film in haiku: Defiant words sung, a dangerous room silenced. Love means: Fly away.

When you find a nice spot to build Hale o Keawe next to the Valley of Flowers in Civ7, but then you think "actually, fuck those flowers" and you let the sparks fly.

Wanted: an antitrust policy that makes it so that newspapers can't run headlines that read, "creating a vast _____ empire"

listen everyone, i’m getting sick of all the criticism. this is my first blender project. i’m still figuring out how pivot points work. i am also aware that at frame 860 he teleports to fairfax along the x-axis. i’m working on it

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

In a Civ 7 Q&A session on the upcoming Arc of Tomorrow and Earthrise expansions, this answer made me the most excited. Currently, the game turns into a visual mess halfway through the exploration age, and it needs these reforestation and green-space improvements to clean up the clutter.

"i have created the machine that thinks." you fucked up a perfectly good graphics card is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

No equivocating. -- "Well yeah, of course we will" should be the matter-of-fact response of every Democrat to the question of whether they'll tear down all these vast and trunkless legs of stone to this half-sunk man with frown and wrinkled lip.

Typical Civ 7: Two Antiquity Mesopotamian civs: Assyria and Babylon. One Antiquity Mesopotamian leader: Gilgamesh (Sumerian). I know bro became a meme in 6, but… Hammurabi… Ashurbanipal… Sammuramat… Nebuchadnezzar… Sennacherib… Nabopolassar… so many possible choices that would actually fit.

note that you do not have to do one damn thing to the customers to make this work, you just need to bring the exploitable vagueness of the supplements market under the regulatory umbrella

Do I want a neighborhood park, or do I want a neighborhood Big Box of Lies and Unemployment? Hmmm let me really think on that one for a bit.

The cattle ranchers over on TikTok don't care who you voted for, they just want you to save their farms! 🐆 💀

"Do not place a wicked man upon the throne" is PRIMORDIAL, it's up there with "don't shit in the water supply" and "remember to feed your troops." It's not even at the level of complexity of "invest in members of the community to yield greater returns!"

Let's play a game called Find the Great Work, featuring Civ6 and Civ7.

Jesus Christ this photo...

Donald Trump is a very stupid fucking person who genuinely has no idea how anything works and the U.S. press should never be allowed to live down their failure in communicating this mercilessly and clearly to the U.S. public

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

With love, but... Typical Civ7 streamer: "I prefer playing Regroup because it better aligns with the devs' original vision of the game." Later: "I used mods to unlock all mementos because who has time for all that, and also disabled crises because they suck."

The thing about signing what everybody but you can see is a surrender document at Versailles without understanding the historical context that everyone else immediately grasps is that’s what you sometimes get when you are an ignorant dipshit who surrounds himself with ignorant dipshits.

Sanders: You know why Trump has a nucleus of support? People say, “I go out and I vote and I’m going nowhere. Democracy is not working. You know what I need? I need a strong guy.” It’s not just in this country. You’re seeing this all over the world.

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

Can't stop singing this to the theme of the Muppet Show
