She's going to somehow gerrymander him out as well

Nintendo continues to thrive with the blue ocean strategy as Sony sits there spending 600 million dollars on an Uncharted game with a gender swapped protagonist that will appeal to 1/10th the casual or female audience that Pokopia or Tomadachi dominates with. Continually fascinated by Nintendo’s unique ability to appeal to so many people so rapidly. They have less than half the employees of Ubisoft, but their output is just so much better.

@ChrisRGun Most people misread powerlessness as virtue. Most of the people who complain about cancel culture would do the same thing if they had the power. You’re consistent, but few other people are. Most of politics is opportunism.

This is the exact kind of self serious over-politicization that made 2015 pop progressivism so cringe to normal everyday people.

@longislandviper No, you're wrong. It's literally about stopping tyranny.

@YirmiyahuLaw @DrewSav Trump has not avoided it. He has canned scandal ridden and ineffective secretaries pretty qualify. DHS, Navy, and Labor already! Biden should’ve been more comfortable doing so honestly, the political hit is not so bad these days.
English
Amazing how a state as large as California has an entire field of thoroughly unimpressive people running for Governor. Becerra in particular is a nonentity. Totally unremarkable politician in every sense.

I think it makes perfect sense people get bitter when their years in higher education lead them to exact same place they would have been straight out of HS anyway, think you're all sort of lying when you act like you don't understand why they'd feel bad about that

Anita Sarkeesian is undoubtedly a tourist and a grifter, and had a negative effect on the industry.
THAT SAID!
If a game she "consulted" on is played by millions, and no one noticed anything "amiss" until the credits made you mad a month after launch, maybe you're overreacting.
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Slay the Spire 2 is facing backlash after players discovered Anita Sarkeesian listed as a consultant in the credits. Gamers are leaving negative Steam reviews, saying they regret buying the game and would not have purchased it if they knew. Some are requesting refunds while it is still in Early Access.

Between Becerra, KJP and—let’s be honest—Kamala, Bidenworld has now acknowledged placing at least three people they believed to be incompetent in powerful positions and were totally unbothered by it for 4 years. It’s a damning indictment on what’s acceptable in Democratic Party.

“He would go to brief the president and was not prepared at all, almost to the point where it was an embarrassment,” the fourth official said. “Biden would pepper him with questions and he would not be able to answer them.” politico.com/news/2026/05/0…

It's still funny to me that Tarantino gets annoyed when people name this as one of his best movies, obviously because the story and characters didn't originate with him. Then you shouldn't have made such a great movie out of someone else's book!

The ending of JACKIE BROWN captures quiet heartbreak without a single word. Robert Forster conveys it so convincingly and gently. Devastating shot.

Wow its crazy that the Pakistani area in Japan looks just like Pakistan. Nobody saw this coming.

This video has been going viral on Japanese social media. It shows Yashio a city in Saitama Prefecture which has seen a large influx of Pakistanis in recent years. As you can see it is becoming culturally enriched.

Politicians are scum. They will pretend to be what they think will make them famous and powerful. It’s rarely THIS blatant, but this is essentially what the average House member or Senator does to have a long career.

@nick_field90 Eisenhower and LBJ don’t have the heart to win a real fight. I mean that literally they’ll have a heart attack and die.
English
I've never been in a fight in my life, but when it comes to post-WWII Presidents: I'd beat JFK, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Biden and Trump. Eisenhower, LBJ, Ford, Carter, Bush 41, Bush 43 and Obama are all beating me

New poll — More Republicans think Donald Trump (79) could beat them in a fight, than the inverse. 39% think Trump would beat them 33% think they would beat him

@leisetritt @CraigMahoney @robbysoave I’m not a heritage American, and that had nothing to do with you. I was just telling you the history.
English
This is a good example of where the "heritage American" discourse leads. In the scene this Blaze guy is quoting here as representative of his ideology, Matt Damon's WASP character is saying he's a real American and Joe Pesci's Sicilian mobster character (who has lived his entire life in America) is not.
So that's that? America is for WASPS, not Italian Catholics? Does anyone really believe that? Of course not.

@CraigMahoney @leisetritt @robbysoave I didn’t said he did. But he was certainly anti-Italian especially anti-Sicilian. But he actually wasn’t a Darwinist he opposed Darwin and thought the existence of Slavs and guinea pigs proved survival of the fittest was fake.
English
@StolteNick @leisetritt @robbysoave I've read all three. Twice. As well as the H.W. Brands, Jon Knokey, Candace Millard, David McCullough, David Pietrusza, and Douglas Brinkley books. He was a jingoist and a social Darwinsit who despised "hyphenated Americanism", but he did not think only WASPs were true Americans.

I am concerned that the Dems are becoming the party of "millionaires who resent billionaires".
"I made my millions fair and square, but you cheated and exploited the workers to make your billions, you capitalist pig!"

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”
English
It has been a discussion since the founding, but the alien and sedition acts are examples of how almost immediately a large portion of the country opposed easy immigration. Washington signed laws immediately that made it impossible for asians or africans to become citizens and thought immigrants settling in a group was dangerous.
English
@StolteNick @robbysoave I think some of them were worried about it but other than Adams briefly during the French crisis, none of them really tried to limit immigration in any way, mostly because the economic need for immigrants was overwhelming
English
He was more of a moderate reformer. He placed himself as the mediator between business and labor whereas McKinley was squarely on the side of business and Bryan on the side of labor. Eventually he broke with the old guard officially and became a more aggressive reformer. His Presidency was remarkably directed on the middle course though.
English
@StolteNick @robbysoave He was a progressive reformer in his time and that's exactly what he sounds like. You are simply seeing what you want to see.
English
That is always the problem with saying "The founders" in any discussion, but the mean or median founder would be described as a white supremacist with a very narrow definition of what an American should be...these were people who worried that German immigration would fundamentally change the culture...they would be to the right of 99% of living Americans on these issues.
English
@StolteNick @robbysoave some of the founders thought that way, but not all-see GW's letter to the Hebrew congregation in Newport: constitutioncenter.org/the-constituti…
English
I honestly thought his extreme immigration restrictionism was obvious from those passages, and his overall reputation. I can happily find more I mean he had so many views on Slavs, Italians, Fins, etc. that would outrage people today. Essentially all the founders shared an even narrower view of the American identity too.
English
@StolteNick @robbysoave Maybe you should have posted something to that point, instead of posting something else. But if he did believe that, he was simply sharing the prejudices of his time and there is no reason for us to follow him today.
