Overland travel system!

We’ve actually gotten very good at stopping conflicts, and start fewer of them. When famine arises within conflict it is almost always due to one side’s political incentive to increase suffering on a vulnerable population (such as Gaza)

As an avid indoorsman I feel like I’ve been training my whole life for this.

The Haaland discourse is a direct refutation to the redpill manosphere paranoia that modern society hates dudes. Society is salivating to elevate any dude that doesn’t suck. Just don’t suck! The bar is low enough that you can iceskate over it, my dudes. Stop sucking, I beg you.

Morocco deserved to beat Netherlands because 1) Seeing former colonies defeat former colonizers is great 2) Moroccan food is delicious while Dutch food tastes like a crime 3) The Moroccan jerseys are an elegant nod to culture while the Dutch jerseys are an affront to color theory and God

Ken Paxton is so tough on crime that he gave admitted child rapist Adam Hoffman a plea deal that knocked a felony to a misdemeanor, didn’t have to register as a sex offender, and spent a day in jail. Honestly I’m surprised Paxton didn’t offer him a ride to the nearest elementary school.

I need Hollywood to understand that no matter how badly you bait the nostalgia hook of my 80s childhood, I am not going to watch a movie with Jared Leto in it.

My kids now refer to the Beat ‘Em Up genre of video games as “Dad Games”

One of those weird millennial things is having lived through the most violent period of documented crime in U.S. history and that it happened 30 years ago.

It’s kind of surreal how the richest man to ever exist is also a complete dipshit.

There are lots of things O’Hare International Airport has that Midway doesn’t, but O’Hare sure doesn’t have a homoerotic bronze sculpture prominently displayed next to your gate

Oh totally. I’m not willing to bend to their prejudices to accommodate them, but I can appreciate the irony that they’re in a prison of their own making

Thanks GameHole Con, it was a real one. Now back to not running TTRPGs every day (he says as he gets his notes together to run a TTRPG tonight)

My face when doing the run back to the Crawbug Gauntlet in Greymoor for the 10th time.

People are giving the Trump administration a lot of pushback but trans people ARE extremely dangerous. I knew someone who was bit by trans but tried to hide it and then they became trans and attacked the rest of us and… oh wait, sorry, I’m thinking of zombies. Trans people are fine.

The thing about Draw Steel is that the sword cuts both ways.

Never forget: Harambe was killed because he knew who was on the Epstein List. Do not let this noble ape’s sacrifice be in vain - hold your elected officials responsible!

The Mex part is objectively superior to the Tex part.

Me in 2018: Leave a tip? At Subway? I just watched you make a sandwich and hand it to me! Me in 2025 as I leave a 20% tip and look the person in the eye: The proletariat has a moral obligation for mutual aid until every last billionaire is destroyed.

Tell me about a fictional character death you still haven’t gotten over using only a picture.

In summary, Remmick is a fantastic character, and if you haven’t seen Sinners, go see it. If you have seen Sinners, go see it again. I promise it is just as good the second time.

And this is a message we ALL can carry in these troubled times: the rotten, parasitic core of White Supremacy isn’t beaten by flowery words or noble philosophies. It is beaten, as Smoke knows all too well, by power.

But Coogler is a smarter man than I, and the message is clear: Remmick wasn’t beaten by love, or music, or culture, or solidarity. Remmick was defeated by a militant Black war veteran shoving a chair leg through his ribs.

Now I’ll admit that when I first watched the ending I wasn’t completely satisfied with Remmick’s defeat. I felt Sammy had earned a victory over his foe in a way that Smoke hadn’t – it felt a bit too cute, too MCU, for the villain to fall the way he did.

The Smokestack Twins built a living, thriving world out of scraps, stolen goods, and unwanted things. Remmick, in contrast, can only build through death and destruction. In this sense he is the epitome of Whiteness: draining the resources of living places in order to maintain the past, forever.

Part of Coogler’s brilliance in this character is packing so many details into the character without needless backstory or flashbacks. We know Remmick is old. We know Remmick was almost destroyed nearly 12 hours ago. He has tried this before. He has failed before. Many times.

Likewise, in the final confrontation with Sammie in the river, Remmick admits that this was all a ploy to summon the ghosts of his culture. It was never really about harmony – it was about sucking the resources out of a living culture to revive a dead one

We first see that Remmick doesn’t understand his own lies (or is perhaps has no moral core at all) during the Irish dance scene. Remmick has established that he has a psychic connection with all of his victims. He could choose any dance or song. But he makes them all puppets to HIS song.

So what Coogler gives us is this fascinating parasite, this creature that knows Whiteness is a lie yet uses Whiteness to protect itself and hide and feed. Whiteness is the entry wound by which Remmick spreads his infection.
