    Just figured you might want to make it clearer when you drop weapons grade sarcasm like “Obama and Kid Starver want a truly better world” That’s really funny, but it can often be hard to distinguish dead-pan sarcasm apart from bootlicking of imperialist ass-hats on the internet without proper closing tags.






  • I’ve gone back to playing Ghost of Tsushima, for the first time, a bunch recently. Took a long break from it after Act I, but just because I didn’t want to marathon it all at once. It’s probably my favorite melee combat game that isn’t a full-fledged RPG, and the story is fantastic. I’m really glad that it’s more grounded in realism, for the most part, rather than relying on fantasy gimmicks and magic. Plus playing it with Japanese audio is an absolute treat.










  • Islamophobia permeated the speeches, with Brian Tamaki, leader of New Zealand’s Destiny Church, claiming that “Islam, Hinduism, Bahai, Buddhism” are “all false”.

    “We’ve got to clean our countries up. Get rid of everything that doesn’t receive Jesus Christ. Ban any public expression of other religions in our Christian nations. Ban halal. Ban burqas. Ban mosques, temples, shrines - we don’t want those in our countries.”

    From a Middle East Eye article link

    Look how peaceful the right is. They only want to ban all religions they don’t agree with and anything to do with them and maybe kill anyone practicing them. Just a peaceful coexistence crowd weaponizing the death of an American fascist to spread more “peaceful” nationalist christofascist messages. Sounds real difficult to denounce /fucking sarcasm
