Oh, that 100% tracks from that rag. By comparison, a similar article from NPR was a lot more careful about it, e.g. "Mangione has received widespread public support, despite state and federal officials discouraging it." Good lesson in identifying bias.

NPR even had the message Luigi sent out thanking his supporters, which I think is nice.

Looking over the Daily Mail (ugh), it sounds more like he expects a red wave. He says we're in for a surprise, but that's the kind of shit they always say.

That's not to say they won't reuse their bullshit playbook (lies, voter intimidation, etc) but so far the most pressing issue we have in the midterms in all states are just milquetoast neolib Democrats running the party, likely to thumb the scales on primary season yet again. You raise the energy of the opposition and the opposition will practically camp overnight in line to cast a vote (and volunteer to vote count, etc).

One of these days I hope he just gets up from his desk, says "I'm tired" and leaves the oval office and wanders off into the sea.

Yes, that would have been my assumption as well. It's the difference between buying mercenaries vs paying the mob "for protection".

Yup, but it actually turned out a real life manic pixie dream girl really just had schizophrenia. Womp womp.

Fair. But the nicknames aren't funny or even catchy (but things like JD couch fucking was). Anyway, I didn't want to start any fights, and I feel less guilty now that I said it out loud. I think it's because I disagree that humor trivializes a serious topic, whatever that humor is. If anything, it keeps us from disengaging with this whole fucking shit show we're dealing with. The real danger is people tuning out.

Tacos are always nice.

Yup, in particular just the straight faced people having to say it over and over, it reminds me of Boaty McBoatface. It's so absurd, but I might just be losing my mind. I'm the type to crack jokes at a funeral, though- I think it's a coping mechanism.

That's a pretty fucked up thing to say to someone who agrees with you on facism. For someone often posting on humor communities, I'd expect better from you.

He did a few months (or was it a year?) with Firaxis, but it wasn't his just recent work. Iirc it was UX stuff.

I was about to close Lemmy for the night and now I need to forget this story because yikes. As a father of two little ones this really fucks with me, especially since the kids were going to be involved with drawings. Those kids are not going to grow up OK.

You people turned me into this artist, and I swear my first crush in high school was this fucking girl. I do not recommend.
