36·4 days agoHegseth said that they wouldn’t stand for this and that the Trump regime were looking for their own candidate to execute first.
11·5 days agoIt’s going to get worse. Getting the people behind Fivem means it’s going to go to the next level with VI. It’s going to be Roblox meets the current GTA streaming RP stuff.

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”
8·5 days agoHe probably won’t be tweeting it again because when asked to recreate this tweet they moved the mirror and he kissed a bug.
1·6 days agoPronounced Doo-kane if you’re from the area.
His excuse in interview is that he recycles certain tweets after follower milestones. He’s popular enough that there’s thousands of new followers who won’t have seen his tweets from years ago.
HBO has the episode Bourdain visited Iran. Worth a watch, especially in comparison to a lot of the other middle east locations he visited.

3·9 days agoMuch more bleak. Erikson has more in the way of heroics in the face of the bleak. Bakker you get more of human flaws ushering in doom. It has a similar sense of scale, the world building is top notch. But the passage of time and intelligence are much less forgiving in Bakker’s world.
I’ve done numerous rereads of Malazan, none for Bakker. Though it’s just as deserving, if not more so. It’s just… a lot less uplifting.
R Scott Bakker kinda scratches a similar itch, though it’s much more bleak.
Malazan, Malazan, Malazan. Literally the result of two bored archaeologists and their DnD campaign while they were out on a dig.
It hangs with the best in terms of humor, tragedy, epic scope, and heroism. It does not hold your hand, in fact it will delight in letting your hand go while leading you through a dark room. Deeply philosophical, challenges and embraces tropes in equal part, absolutely interesting magic system(s). It is hardcore hopecore, it champions the little guy, empathy, and the bright mind over the slow. Main series is finished, 10 giant books. Also a bunch of others outside that series by both creators.
Be patient with it, some payoffs take a while. Read Gardens of the Moon and then Deadhouse Gates to see if it’s clicking. It isn’t for all.

Pakistan : I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

What if part of why his ego is permanently crippled is that he was forced to fake bone spurs to avoid getting pulled in with McNamara’s 100,000?
