Ah yes, a "beautiful" soul shopping at Amazon Foods.

Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!

BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.

SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!

Benevolent dictator is an oxymoron. The most benevolent thing a dictator can do is dismantle their dictatorship.

Has been for years. Notorious Scab too.

There's so many layers of irony to this event. You can't make this shit up.

A man, who made a career downplaying gun violence and advocating against empathy for its victims, was shot while giving a talk about his favorite topic under a tent that said "Prove me wrong", on a college campus in a state that just lifted its ban on weapons on college campuses. His own quotes can be endlessly used to shut down any outrage at his ironic demise.

Charlie Kirk's final moments were spent being definitively and completely proven wrong.

If this wasn't going to used as an excuse to ban Trans people from owning firearms and for further violence against the opposition, it would be hilarious.

Yeah I know its straight out of the Fascist playbook, but this is way to conveniently timed and flawlessly executed. Its going to take some pretty compelling evidence for me to be convinced that this wasn't a false flag. I definitely wont trust that its whomever the regime eventually pins it on.

Charlie was a disposable pawn of right wing moneyed interests, and he will continue to serve those interests in death.

Honestly I've always hated this. An early example of the awful trend where there has to be a "lore reason" for every little detail.

Star Trek aliens are mostly humanoids because its a human TV show telling stories that have to be relatable to humans and also has a limited budget. There is no need for a lore explanation.

At least in this case it's a one off that's never really referenced again.

I'm good either way. if the last thing I see in life is my wife's tits, then I die a happy man!

Are we counting old-school expansions as DLC? If so, then, aside from the infamous Horse Armor, the Elder Scrolls series seriously raised the bar for what to expect from RPG add-ons. Tribunal and Bloodmoon were massive expansions that set the standard early on.

Knights of the Nine might’ve been a bit weaker, but Shivering Isles is one of the GOAT expansions and is arguably better than the base game.

Skyrim kept the momentum going with Dawnguard and Dragonborn, both of which added tons of new content.

The series is straight-up GOATed when it comes to expansions that are actually expansive: new locations packed with quests, items, monsters, spells, etc. They take already huge games and somehow make them even bigger.

I adore BG3 but yeah. Viconia in particular felt like a big middle finger to fans of the original games. If they wanted to bring back an OG character to be irredeemably evil, Edwin is right there!

This. Expect to see feminist, environmentalist, Communism, and queer coded characters make a big comeback as movie villains. It's the 80s all over again!

 

In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk."

It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

 

I’m genuinely curious. Years ago, I was a chubby young pothead who lived on fast food. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, KFC, you name it—I ate it. Back in college, fast food probably made up at least 50% of my diet. And it wasn’t just because it was quick and cheap—I actually enjoyed it.

But these days, I find myself craving it less and less. Besides being more health-conscious, it just doesn’t hit the spot like it used to. It’s more expensive than ever, mostly bland, and I feel terrible after I eat it. So what’s changed? Is it just part of the enshitification of everything? Have I just gotten old, or has fast food really gone downhill?
