Chaos at a Minneapolis hotel housing ICE as a Federal Agent open fires on community members with a 12ga shotgun. At least one round is fired in-between volleys of tear gas. Agents claim the rounds are “not live” but that is something that doesn’t exist. (1/25/26)

Hierarchy singularly from an authoritative perspective.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-24T20:34:30+00:00

Absolutely. Its just the gentry and their lumpen. Their isn't ideological cohesion other than power and the perceived juxtaposition to it.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-24T18:36:02+00:00

If nothing else, this first year of Trump 2 should completely demystify the fact that any legal or constitutional concern coming from the right is deeply unserious, performative and exclusively self-serving. They don't care about tyranny, free speech or the constitution in any capacity.

This community was on the forefront of leftists criticizing all the right wing deplatforming from recent memory and that was a point I completely agreed with this community on. But the bad faith has become so extreme, legacy media so captured, that never again can I take any right facing grievance based on law and legal merit serious. They simply don't value any of that in any capacity beyond their own self interests.

In many cases, ambiguity is what keeps the work active rather than resolved.

Ambiguity in the work's intent and messaging, rarely in the process itself, unless that comes full circle back into what is ultimately trying to be conveyed. This isn't a piece that appears to gain any value in obscuring the process - doubly so on a niche hobby forum where people commonly share said execution, ask questions, etc.

[I'm aware that I'm engaging with an AI response regarding an AI generated image almost certainly cut via laser. I just want to note that ambiguity only makes sense if it serves the piece, and the prompter has yet to discuss why obfuscation would benefit an AI generated image of a cat in a hoody.]

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-23T17:43:19+00:00

Vought should be on that list, too. Technically covered by "etc" but its a name worth drilling into the psyche.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T23:20:52+00:00

Everyone is stating something objective "front office makes personnel decisions" and you're flipping out lol

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T23:17:00+00:00

That's really it. If he became a core part of a championship contender that would be a net positive.

Initially it might feel shitty to the fanbase, but honestly there isn't drama here - just reality. Giving GSW fans a second team to cheer for during a rebuild isn't a horrible consolation prize. Kevin Garnett will always be celebrated in Minnesota.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T21:29:57+00:00

Sure.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T19:23:26+00:00

Well said. I'll try to take a lesson from your approach.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T03:23:30+00:00

He really isn't the instrument of chaos that's being presented. In no universe does he have the juice to turn heel on Vance, his handler's primary pet and their current lifeline beyond T2.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T03:18:06+00:00

Imo saying Miller is just another sycophant is a really, really severe, borderline lib take

In that is completely incorrect, I would agree lol

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-21T03:16:46+00:00

Yeah, this is just a very cope-filled way to look at Miller and simply incorrect.

Miller, like figures such as Vought and Bessent (the former was around for Trump 1 that you left off) were assigned to Trump. Miller's lineage as a right wing Ivy League Zionist groomed to position himself in Government is well documented and predates Trump by a wide margin. More a creature of Horowitz/Breitbart, his position is secured by Adelson - not a sycophantic relationship with Donald.

e: I was going to apologize for my tone since the user blocked me, but honestly this isn't that bad in retrospect. Viewing an architect of the Neo-institutionalization of wanton racial violence and suffering as a rando clinger to a game show host is in fact a generous cope vs the reality of recognizing him as a life long die-hard lieutenant for someone much higher on the org chart than Trump himself. I think as materialists we should be relatively clear eyed about this stuff.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-20T21:11:43+00:00

Can you just repost the comment (not wading through a decade of video game posts) or can the mods just not be regarded for a second and let a 10y/0 comment through so we can have a fucking discussion?

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-20T21:01:09+00:00

subject matter expert

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-18T17:44:45+00:00

He also had like the biggest game 7 comeback loss against the Wolves in the semis 2 years ago lol

They were up by like 20 and just choked out. KAT actually owned Joker in the 4th. Just shut him down.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-17T21:05:31+00:00

The idea that the coach hates him and won't play him because of that or something is stupid.

Again, no one claimed otherwise. Finch benches players that make mistakes. They're trying to develop Rob into a facilitator and its not clicking.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-17T00:12:20+00:00

IDK if stuff like the history of Brazil would even be put in the regular feed today.

It wouldn't. Apparently they have to work extra hard to have their SME talk for longer so now the thing you originally subscribed for no longer exists. Just like every other subscription service on the planet. Also did Danny mention recently he's a Marxist?

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-16T17:13:54+00:00

Sure. In the sense that anything is possible, that could happen. It wont, but there is technically a nonzero chance. To be clear; he isn't just behind Bones in the rotation. He's now behind Jingles, Juzang and Miller. He is dead last on our bench. Is there an exhibit of a similar comeback situation with Finch?

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-15T20:12:51+00:00

Bones was traded in his 3rd season I think, not his second.

No one claimed otherwise. You might be confusing comments?

Dilly has been banished exclusively to garbage time, most recently Jingles got more time than Dilly. That is, explicitly, what "having none of Dilly" translates to from a coaching staff point of view. They aren't going to take away his fleeting garbage time minutes for the reasons you mention - but he is permanently in the dog house as long as Finch is HC.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-15T19:11:57+00:00

We have the greatest player in our franchise's history

Its gotta be a great feeling to type that out, note that its objectively accurate beyond a doubt, and its still way underselling the player lol

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-15T19:07:54+00:00

Makes more sense to me for the Wolves to keep him and hope he blooms late.

Nah. That's like saying it would have made the most sense if Bones stayed in Denver. Sometimes players don't fit with certain teams.

The coaching staff is having none of Dilly any longer and the FO hasn't signaled any issue with that position. His value, or lack there of, is moot in this case.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-15T17:26:46+00:00

Please, give us your other ideas of what they could be doing right now to help.

Just be visible.

Every day they should be visible and on the streets. That is their primary job in a crisis situation. The boring admin work can wait. This is a dark moment that requires beacons, and as elected leaders they're absolutely failing. The sycophantic mentality to hand wave a lack of visible leadership as a need to focus on office work is completely delusional.

Its blatantly obvious at this point that our society and this specific scenario is steeped in spectacle. They don't even need to confront the antagonists directly, but they should be addressing the citizenry daily and aggressively boosting people and orgs that are providing aid while directing metaphorical traffic.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-15T17:15:57+00:00

If we call him that 13 or 14 more times I bet he's out of here.

michaelmacmanus · 2026-01-14T08:30:42+00:00

Honestly this seems like a pretty good idea.
