Saying that Gundam didn't ask its audience to have empathy for the enemy trying to kill you is hilarious. Legendarily wrong.

Do you know why mecha anime made such a huge cultural impact on young boys in Japan (and then elsewhere)? It wasn't by having empathy for an enemy trying to kill them. Your "empty violence" is rarely empty and is in fact the actual point.

We had a student-run book club in middle school. We read Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and Artemis Fowl. The Hunger Games was really popular, so that was our next series. All the boys left because the main character was a girl. It turned into an all female book club.

You're not really responding to the points on offer, here. No one is denying that lots of classics by men exist. But children learning to read and love reading aren't usually reading old books. I'll give my kids old books, and they'll be better for it.

Asmongold in 2025: I've been making jokes about George Floyd for years, why can't people joke about Charlie Kirk?
Asmongold in 2026: If you joke about Charlie Kirk you need to be arrested, deplatformed and lose your bank accounts

Watch Jesse’s smile fade micrometer by micrometer as he realizes that yes actually, that is indeed the plan. Watch him slowly realize that his party will never receive votes again. You can literally see his mouth straighten out if you watch the video

Finally saw the movie and I misjudged it, it actually shows how harrowing and confusing it is to be around a highly charismatic psychopath who makes you feel great while lying nonstop.

Seeing the quotes on this going "erm this isn't the same, gay marriage doesn't affect straight people" when that was the literal exact conservative argument I had to hear for decades as a kid before Obergefell. One of my favorite Lewis Black jokes made fun of this very mindset!

The key to understanding last night is that in 2024 voters gave Trump a moderate victory that was at its core a misguided cost of living protest vote and then spent the next two years wondering what the fuck Republicans were talking about.

Turns out, being scorned edgy internet boys who could finally say slurs openly was not a long-term sustainable political strategy. Temper tantrum ran out of steam.

My main advice to the right tonight is to keep talking like this. It's working really well, everybody loves it, and no one is tired of it. You could keep at it for another decade even.

Wajahat Ali: "Vivek & Kash Patels were those nerdy, dorky guys... They said, 'One of these days, I'm gonna make a lot of money. And I'm gonna have sex with a white woman'... He thought the whites would take him. But the whites will never, ever accept the Vivek Ramaswamy."

The anti-AI crowd is digging its own grave.
AI is inevitable. You can refuse to use it today, but eventually you won’t have much of a choice.
And when that day comes, you’ll be starting from zero while everyone who embraced it years ago already knows how to use it to their advantage.
The gap between people who use AI and people who don’t is already enormous.
And it’s only going to get bigger.
The longer you resist, the further behind you fall.
You’re not stopping AI. You’re just making sure you’re the last person to benefit from it.

its hilarious how trump winning by 1.5% made all the chuds think they finally definitively won the culture war, only for them to lose it all by being too fucking stupid for their own good
