Hmm, stepping on rakes is about the only leverage I’ve seen US Democrats use. The world would be happily surprised if they did otherwise.

This is a weird loredump from Armored Core.

For the ARC, these federal contracts have been lucrative. According to government spending records, the company has received at least $600,000 from federal contracts so far in 2025, and about $700,000 last year.

I don’t know why I was expecting more. US citizens should probably start unmasking who the people making decisions behind these companies are, who would sell out this kind of data on others–all for such an inconsequential amount of money.

This is incredibly insightful, thanks.

This is actually quite eye opening to me, as someone who doesn’t really ever have to look at ratings as a consumer and has always just taken them for granted. Now I’m keenly aware it’s yet another example of runaway capitalism. Just never thought too hard about it.

PEGI’s a cunt.

Fuck you, Ben.

Why is no one talking about this??? Ostriches in the sand…

That 9/11 headline holy shit forgot about that.

Ah the famous boat police. Judge, jury, and executioners.

I agree with your point about OS X style menus, they’ve been steadily going downhill since “macOS” though. Granted, they’re still uphill of whatever the fuck Microsoft seems to think of.

Any love for the Hong Kong orchid?

It’s important to know the demographic of the poll sample in order to properly understand the poll data. For instance, 65 percent of the poll participants are currently on shift at Abu Ghraib.

Ah, so it was worth it.

Does $42.000 even buy a Dodge Charger?

I would kill myself. Unfathomable.

Imagine being Megyn here, thinking you can convince everyone you care enough about 4th grade boys to be outraged at their overexposure to inert cotton or rayon objects. Well, she’s convinced me! She’s convinced me she’s a shit-stirring cunt.

I also wonder how many of these pearl clutchers who are actually convinced by this rhetoric are confusing tampons with dildos or something. I cannot think of a better explanation than they think these elevated cotton swabs serve some darker/more sinful purpose than sopping up blood and menstrual bits.

This is why I’m here.

It’s definitely worth the watch, and I don’t usually watch these things.
