  • Cancel anything and everything Disney owns a piece of.

    Don’t pay for any tickets, or streaming services. Don’t buy comics, don’t buy collectibles.

    Any of the millions of things Disney owns, don’t give them a fucking dime.

    Money is all they care about, so if you want to hurt them we need to show them an immediate and quantifiable cost for their actions.

    Disney is big enough they could have fought Sinclair and Nexstar, they just thought it would be cheaper not to.

    So we need to show them they were wrong.




  • Gearbox has also issued a piece of advice to PC gamers that to me reads like an effort to prevent players from making knee-jerk reactions to the game’s performance as soon as they’ve changed their settings: “Please note that any time you change any of your graphics settings, your shaders will need to recompile. Please keep playing for at least 15 minutes to see how your PC’s performance has changed.”

    Pretty sure if that’s really happening, it’s a unique problem

    Maybe if you’re changing just resolution, but for 99% of setting changes it has nothing to do with shaders.



  • The discord screenshots from Ken Klippenstein are legit, and accurately reflect how that age group talks…

    Those are almost positively real, as are the screenshots of his reddit account.

    The “text messages” between him and his roommate tho…

    The language is completely different. Vocab, grammar, punctuation, everything. The “texts” the FBI released just don’t match with anything else. And it’s like he went down a checklist of everything prosecution would need for trial.

    And the sheer fact that they’re releasing those is fucking insane.

    The only logical reason those texts ever would have happened, would be some actual 4d chess shit where those two knew the government wouldn’t be able to keep something like that till trial and would release it immediately which has a good chance to get a trial thrown out in a fair court system

    That’s just incredibly unlikely though

    Occam’s razor is the FBI faked the texts





  • It abso-fucking-lutely does.

    This is the government controlling speech thru threat of trumped up criminal charges and frivolous lawsuits.

    trumps been suing these big corps and they’ve been caving, it worked.

    This time he sicced the FCC on them threatening criminal charges, and it worked again

    There has to be consequences in the form of immediate loss of revenue or this will keep working and trump will keep asking for more.

    Start paying attention cuz it’s getting to the point people won’t believe claims of ignorance for where things are headed.








  • But Mamdani does not have all of New York’s most powerful Democrats in his corner. Schumer and Jeffries, two New Yorkers who happen to be the top Democratic lawmakers in Congress, have notably and repeatedly held out, though they haven’t closed the door on endorsing Mamdani, either. Kirsten Gillibrand, New York’s other senator and the leader of Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, also has not endorsed, and she criticized Mamdani this summer over his stance on Israel and its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. (Gillibrand later apologized for “mischaracterizing Mamdani’s record” in an interview.)

    The ironic part is their endorsements probably wouldn’t help Mamdani…

    But would drastically help their own voter turnouts.

    They’re actively setting themselves up to lose their next primaries to progressives.


  • Everyone is missing the big issue:

    Schools shooters used to be headline national news.

    Now they’re so common no one gives a shit. But if you kill any wealthy person? That’s not just national news, the president and everyone on TV and social media is going to know your name and who you are.

    This is gonna be the next trend after school shootings.

    It’s not just people doing it for political beliefs, they’re gonna be people doing it because they have nothing to do with their life and desperately want any kind of fame.

    Faux can blame “the extreme left” all they want, it’s not going to stop these killings, because it would take gun laws and giving everyone something worth living for.

    Republicans have been fighting against everything that can prevent this for generations.


  • It says:

    Robinson’s mother told investigators that in the last year, her son had “become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented,” Gray said.

    That’s not something found out “hours after the shooting”…

    That’s a MAGA mom saying how she felt he had changed in a year.

    And could very well be influenced after the fact if the roommate/partner stuff is true. Even if not true, if she just believed it.

    It has nothing to do with the headline or anything else, it’s just the mom’s random comment.

    And it definitely doesn’t lead to the same conclusion the first account leaped to.

    Edit:

    Hell, maybe in highschool he was openly saying to kill anyone LGBTQ, so just tolerating the existence of his roommate would have been “a huge shift left”.

    But still not “left leaning” compared to the average American.

    Like, it’s weird because if someone needs this explained, they need everything explained.

    Did you think of any of this before making your comment?
