Awh, someone’s upset that his little Kings Parade was outshined by No Kings protests and throwing a tantrum.

Shedd, whose professional career was largely spent as a software integration engineering manager at Tesla before being tapped to head the TTS, came to the government with AI top of mind. He reportedly wants GSA to operate like a software startup

Last I checked, startup culture involved burning money to market and sell a “revolutionary” idea, with the end goal being to get purchased by a bigger player in the industry and walking away with a wad of cash.

It kind of puts 2025 into perspective if you look at it that way.

the Christian Right just doesn’t understand the religious text they claim to follow.

A less generous interpretation is that they do but don’t care about the parts they disagree with. There’s a lot of cherry picking going on with them, and that totally tracks with being the world’s #4 exporter of cherries.

MAGA don’t have goalposts. They have sticks with little flags that they move around whenever the locations aren’t convenient enough.

Is there a source on that? 8647 is the same number he was pissy about when Comey spelled it with beach rocks. For that reason, it’s pretty hard to believe that’s the actual number and not a shitpost that went viral taken at face value.

It’s a small comfort that even Twitter is giving this take the reception it deserves.

It’s kind of wholesome. People coming together to tell the guy who built a child-exploiting, underaged-gambling “game” for kids to get fucked brings a tear to my eye.

Founding Roblox isn’t exactly building the interstate highway system, creating antibiotics, or inventing the telephone, John.

And look where it’s gotten us. Drunk on arrogance and the suffering of millions

You made Roblox in order to monetize children’s naivety. We’re not giving you the nuclear codes for shit

Because you’re a bunch of sociopaths with a Messiah complex

You build a giant ad platform and called it innovation. You’re modern day carnival barkers. Go fuck yourself

And unregulated gambling. Can’t forget the whole item market aspect, where goods trade for higher and lower value based on speculation and demand like real-world securities do.

It wouldn’t even want them. Watch as it regrets its mistake and chucks them back up as Hawking radiation.

To be fair to Ubisoft, the newest Prince of Persia game was a great metroidvania game.

To be fair-er to Ubisoft, they can go fuck themselves for closing down the studio that made said game only a few months later.

They can make good games. They just clearly would rather rehash the same tired formula that they’ve been running with for the past decade while unreasonably expecting to make more money each time.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your preferred mode of sitting on your ass and doing nothing.

Justification:

I don’t live in the States.

Result:

sitting on your ass and doing nothing [while complaining online about how other people are not doing enough]

And also tries to use an (AI-generated?) prompt answer in an attempt to call dissenting commenters an ablist slur and prove that he definitely didn’t make any threats of violence with his statement clearly implying that people who voted against his party of choice have their “li[ves] at stake”.

Real fucking class act this fascist shitheel is.

Oh, great. Yes, it’s a real Tweet.

no proper news outlet is reporting that.

And they probably won’t. The best we’ll get is watered-down slop or misreporting that frames the movement as small and unimportant.

It’s not in the interests of corporate media to accurately report on protests against the Trump administration. It might make some ad money in the short term, but it’s antithetical to the goals of both the owners and the corporations to piss off Trump:

1. Republicans benefit the wealthy and corporations and they don’t bite the hand that feeds.
2. The Trump administration has proven itself happy to retaliate against reporters and news agencies by banning them from press events.
3. The billionaires who own them don’t want to anger the guy they’re buying favors from.

Edit:

The AP certainly didn’t choose to publish many photos that show off the actual scale of the protests: https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/no-kings-protest-trump-us-b5de52994b7c592034fb19b7d3e9d577

This is what they should be showing: https://i.imgur.com/vR41TqH.mp4

Let’s not forget all the Bad Things™ the Republicans have dealt with this year! They have:

A Republican-funding billionaire throwing a tantrum at Daddy Donny.

A Republican senator arrested for CSAM.

Good American patriots are being targeted and singled out! Woe is them, it’s not fair! /s

It’s Kaboom. Reddit has r/conservative for kool-aid door to door salesmen, and Lemmy has a handful of well-known names as our fediverse equivalent.

Nah, only the politicians folded. A bunch of people said they would still show up.

Which was posted 7 minutes before zapzap’s comment. 29 minutes before that, it was announced that No Kings protest fliers were found in the car. (Source)

With the information available at that time, it would be fair to say that someone could infer the guy to be a violent nutcase with strong views against progressive politics. And as the old saying goes: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

It must be exhausting having to make excuses like this for your guy constantly

Not really. The exhausting part is thinking, and there ain’t much of that going on within the heads of MAGA people.

Yes.

I’m not at all surprised they did it, though. What’s yet another little law when their entire day job involves breaking them?
