XCOM style games are bullshit because they cheat, the HUD will show that I have a 90% chance of hitting my shot (basically a sure thing) but then they'll have me miss it completely like one out of ten times

There’s a weird type of social media personality who considers themselves a good activist because they spend all day doing nothing but posting about who they don’t think are good activists
Listen up, I deleted this piece earlier because it doesn't ring true in my heart. Our boy wouldn't lie about the cha-cha. He rolled his ankle doing the cha-cha. That's what happened and there's no reason to hide it. No more lies.

But saying just "Natalie" makes it sound like gossip you should hurry to decode so you can explain it to your friends. My senator is using the power of lore dumping
I’ve said before that our crisis is at least a little bit about the psychosexual unmooring of the American right. This is, uh, definitely that

"There is a shadowy class of executives and bigwigs, completely anonymous to the general public, but nonetheless such world-historical villains they deserve to be killed on the street" - this is paranoiac material
This meme forms a trinity with “firebomb a Walmart” and “critique power”
