"Antisemitism" is a particularly bizarre thing if viewed through the lens of MAGA right-wing autocracy.

The thing is that it requires two completely different but oddly complementary lies.

The first is the standard ludicrous notion that opposing the policies of the Israeli right somehow equals antisemitism.

The second is the at least equally ludicrous notion that holding generally negative opinions of Jews in general - a thing that's not coincidentally quite common among MAGAites - somehow does not equal antisemitism.

So MAGAites live in this bizarre mirror universe in which falsehood is truth and truth is falsehood.

They must've misread "peace prize" as "piece-of-shit prize."

That's Dictatorship 101 - if the experts say you're wrong, get rid of the experts.

Ah... this is such a perfectly Trump story. The Onion couldn't have done a better job of it.

The fate of the western world has been placed in the hands of a man who's the emotional equivalent of a four-year-old competing for daddy's attention.

I guess I should've been clearer.

He's obviously both. He's more of a lying sack of shit than he is an idiot.

And as I just tried to point out elsewhere, that's not to say that he's not an idiot - just that he's even more of a liar.

I didn't say he was smart - I said he's even more a lying sack of shit than he is an idiot.

To be fairish, he's more a lying sack of shit than an idiot, but that aside....

 

Anyone else out there (still) playing NFS ProStreet?

It's sort of my ultimate backup game - when I finish one playthrough, I just start another, so I always have one going, and if nothing else really grabs my attention or I'm just looking to kill a bit of time, that's what I play.

Oh boohoo - somebody maybe said mean things to him while he was using his daughter as a human shield (or maybe they didn't and he's lying).

And meanwhile, parents in Ukraine are digging their children's corpses out from under rubble.

It's so awesome to have a president who doesn't just stop at being corrupt, but actually adds extra layers of corruption on top of the original ones.

He's like the Monty Python spam skit - "Corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, fascism, and corruption."

Weird how he suddenly turns into a dove when it comes to Russia's strongest ally in the Middle East.

Almost as if his actual loyalty isn't to America at all, but to Russia.

Seems to be a lot of that going around lately.

First and foremost, gaming isn't my job and I haven't signed any contracts promising to do or not do anything. I play entirely for fun.

With that in mind, I don't actively stop playing games. I just play whatever I'm in the mood to play at the moment, and if that's something other than what I was playing before, that's just the way it is. The fact that I had been playing some particular game before that doesn't really enter into it.

So the games that I keep playing I keep playing because they keep holding my interest. And if they don't, then I just end up playing something else instead.

I access lemmy through Firefox, and I just have bookmarks for all of my accounts and have whichever ones I'm using the most pinned. Switching from one to another is just a matter of clicking a link.

I don't know of any way to combine everything into one feed, though I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of the apps will do it. That's exactly the opposite of what I value though - I don't want just one feed - I want whichever feed I happen to be in the mood for at the moment.
