That seems to be what everyone involved with a political party or major corporation did… Make a big show of “We resisted him once, and we’ll do it again!” then go “Okay, everyone it’s time to line up and kiss Orange Man ass! Biden will you please get the ball rolling with some more of that high road crap?”

To be fair, knowing Disney’s track record it probably would have been as embarrassing as the short-lived super hero duo of Snowflake and Safespace…

or the Transgender Unicorn Powerpuff Girls episode

or the “Quagmire’s Dad” episode of Family Guy

or the Women’s Prison episode of “Lost Girl”

…Look I don’t trust big name mainstream companies to touch trans voices with a 69 foot pole in a way that makes me give any reaction other than “Can you just call me a slur and be done with it? That would be less offensive at this point!”

(Though Indie platforms are a lot better at this given things like Celeste being an entire game comparing the trans experience of coming out and transitioning to climbing a mountain and Helluva Boss’ actually having Millie’s Sister be a likable character who is openly trans but not on a soapbox nor a punching line. Implying her existence is valid and not worth mocking OR apologizing for.)

To be even farier, choosing neutrality in times of oppression means you side with the oppressor.

Wasn’t Mike later found innocent?

I will admit, the whole “It’s no cancel culture, it’s consequence culture!” annoys me

When in reality, we let people learn from their mistakes and grow into better people.

Only a dumbass still thinks Dave Mustaine still gets into drunken fights with Metallica like he did 40+ years ago, but… if the internet had existed back then the Tumblr Twitter whoever Zeitgeist they’d still label him a monster, and be the only ones.

If the Rise and Return of Trump is any indicator, the internet is not indicative of real life.

Given that Mike just kinda stood and let Jake swing at him after two rounds of Mike trying to “make it look convincing”, yeah no, this was scripted as all hell.

Wasn’t Mikey Boi found innocent?

The suicide forest didn’t bother me as much as half the other shit Logan did… I think what did it for me was buying a Gameboy Color for a street vendor, smashing it on camera, and then yelled at the vendor to get his money back in broken spanish because it was “Mucho Brokeno” as he put it…

If by close you mean Mike just stood there like someone unplugged Player 2’s controller while he wasn’t look, yeah…

I actually saw this fight. I knew they’d rig it for Jake Paul just for the headline… but I was hoping they’d be less obvious about it.

Mike Tyson basically just stood there doing nothing while Jake Paul tried to hug him, and while doing this “hug it out” routine wore himself out in the process… Dude looked like he was melting into a puddle of sweat while Mike Tyson just kinda no-sold the farce.

I’m tired of the biggest douches in the world beating talented people in fixed fights…

I’d have done it just to conclude the story, but then agian, I like stories…

Balls, they aint got em

Shrinkflation

Not a great analogy considering Vaping is infinitely healtheri than Smoking, but… yeah… they need to go to Mastodon.

Smart people don’t work for the bad guys for free Jack.

Crash? Doesn’t it have to be moving at all to crash?

Tankies who didn’t vote for Harris: We did it! We saved Palestine!

With Musk what he’d see as wasteful is… anything that isn’t his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.

Bluesky? What even is that? Mastodon all the way

Actually they made a new department of “Government Oversight” for him…

Which sounds scummy, but it’s basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste… not a bad idea, except it’s Right Wingers running it so “Food” would be an example of frivolous spending and “Planes that don’t fly” would be what they’re looking to keep the cash flowing on

Probably the firecracker
