Merde alors.

More like an actual decline and fall of empire, whereas the 19th century Gilded Age was unbridled prosperity for some and unrestricted exceptionalism for most.

It’s always the fucking suits.

Not just that, being a game dev is difficult right now where high turnovers are almost everywhere, and always have to keep the CV current and ready in case the suits start telling they’re cutting out jobs.

Dead Rabbits Rise!

Fucking reactionaries almost everywhere on “mainstream” where one’s words are being vetted so as not to displease the shits, which put me here now.

Fluffy, wordy way of him saying he’s an asshole and wants to destroy anyone who’s not white.

That is one stupid sonofabitch.

Easy to say, yet so far most of the other modding sites seem to be content sitting on their butts right now.

Building an alternative would take time. And some money.

File a lawsuit. Paying customers are supposed to do that if they were given an explanation but in bad-faith language.

Fileplanet content is back but not how it looks right now.

Doctorow is always right.

afaik I’ve seen something called Redact which goes down to every post then overwrites the content.

He can’t wait wearing that Hugo Boss uniform. Or those white blankets.

What possible benefit is there to RFK or the federal government to reject sound science?

Fulfillment of their worldview based entirely on conspiracy theories.

Certain industries having to do with fraudulent medicine may get a boost from such a distorted government agency. This includes dozens of multi-level marketing corporations.

Also, Putin gets to benefit from the massive vaccine and medical disinformation program translating into gradual destabilization of the United States.

In my part of the world, cops are near on top of the food chain in any town and city, sometimes literally getting a free pass as long as they do something for a politician, a celebrity, or a business personality. So some of them, especially senior officers, do eventually get obese because not only they get to choose what duties they want to carry out, but also either they have three full square meals plus two snacks a day, or maybe a drinking party two to four times a month.

Of course they – the Philippine National Police – are a government agency, but also they’re a fraternity, the so-called “Brotherhood”: “you scratch my back as long as I scratch yours”.

Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things

and Bladerunner 2049.

They’re so much FYGM, and now comes the comeuppance.

Couple this with American Exceptionalist propaganda which created the myth and social elevation of the American Soldier as the ultimate freedom fighter / patriot and maybe you can sympathize with those who enlist.

That myth. One of the things Umberto Eco discussed about in Ur-Fascism.
