Nice to see him straight up admit that he can't understand wanting good things for other people, with or without a positive rising tide in your direction
I think this becomes quite understandable in the context of an international fascist movement that has swept much of the planet in a decade, with horrifying and very extreme consequences for the entire species

Americans are, as we know, a people who happily do things less when told they're not allowed to
there are a lot of people out there who see the admin trying to influence the election and sneering “what are you gonna do, vote harder” and, yes, you can see it in the early voting turnout they are voting quite hard indeed

“i pay tax before, but still pay tax now?” We spoke with dozens of half-literate morons about the machinations of local governance. Here’s what they’re saying.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

this is how you have to treat these guys. with genuine contempt. your genuine contempt makes their smarmy fake contempt look weak and inauthentic. it immediately exposes their game. these guys are just losers who have sworn revenge for every humiliation. humiliate them again

This needs to always be in circulation in comics circles. I think especially after Comic-Con announcements stirs up those inner demons telling us we need to “step up”. That our drive is the problem, not an industry that makes its inefficiency and chaotic decisions everyone’s problem.

Amazon is ramping up its program to give delivery drivers smart glasses. The device captures still images constantly from the moment the driver leaves his van and walks to your door, potentially thousands per shift. You can’t opt out www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Social media didn't make people more dumb but it did give them cheap access to validation/stupidity acceleration. In the past crackpots used to have to go to a bar to hear someone agree with them, which at least stimulated the economy.
Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

this is part of my stance that older/advanced material such as violent fiction is as much a part of a child's development as age-appropriate stories. and that includes the "low stakes" of sneaking behind society's back to watch your first Rated-R film
But it doesn't do anybody any good to conflate actual trauma with "things that make me feel sad." We all have that! You weren't actually "scarred" by the horse dying in Neverending Story. You just felt big, grown-up emotions (maybe for the first time). And it happened in a safe, low-stakes setting.

Legend of the Dragoon has some flawed execution but man what a swing. Remake when, Sony?? -- And you all know Dark Souls lol it speaks for itself and I was there on the ground floor. If Legend of the Dragoon birthed me as a game fan the original Dark Souls changed me from a game boy into a game man
