"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Pillsbury Tart n Tangy Thirst Fighters (1967-1968): A line of "tart and tangy" fruit-flavored powdered drink mixes with an old-timey WWI-era fighter pilot theme, marketed to adults. Available in 3 flavors: Sir Reginald Lime-Lime Baron Von Lemon Crash Orange They fought D.R. (Demon Raging) Thirst

A full spread print ad with an image of a pitcher filled with ice and a pale yellow liquid, next to a red packet that reads "Baron Von Lemon". Around the outside is a long and meandering ad copy describing the adventures of the drink mix characters as if they were real WWI fighter pilots. The tagline is "A new adult refreshment treat, 3 tart n tangy drink mixes to conquer thirst

It's almost like there is an active effort to warp and mutate language in a way where any progressive or leftist idea is turned into vague and strictly bad, rendering the term fully useless. Surely this couldn't possibly be happening. Someone from the NYT should ask Chris Rufo his thoughts on this.

It's honestly what the right is best at: capture of signifiers. "Fake news," "Critical Race Theory"--hell, just look at what DoJ's "Civil Rights" division is doing now, or what SCOTUS has done to "equal protection." I'm no political pro, but I wish the left were better at it.

They also deliberately stole “fake news” after 2016 and changed it from its original literal meaning to “any press I don’t like.” It’s repeated linguistic vandalism meant to take terminology meant to criticize them and render it useless for meaningful discussion.

perpetually annoyed by this + the term "triggered" being hijacked by loser conservative drips who didn't understand either term and anyone left of that just kind of letting them win the language game instead of the correct response of "you are an asshole who doesn't know what they're talking about"

0/250 Absolutely nothing in the last couple days. Any movement would be good. I'm screwed if I can't land at least 50 tonight. 250 would give me space to breathe and think before returning to work. PLEASE help. Please. I keep getting told I need to do less but our bills don't stop

the execs got tired of their employees demanding things like "don't use our tech to murder people" and "don't sexually harass people" and, during covid, "let us work from home" the message now is "more arbitrary layoffs are coming, be afraid for your jobs, and we will never listen to you again"
