This is CNN. Put your motherf'ing hands up now!

Congrats, cops, you made even CNN look good.   

I am going to reserve my thoughts about the violence currently going on in my city and other places for another post, but trust me the rioters and the police officers would hate my opinions on the matter.  Anyway, even among left-leaning people like myself, CNN is considered a joke or a living meme.  By using strong-arm tactics and arresting a black CNN reporter, you make yourself look like assholes.  Real smooth, state police.   

The cops claimed that they didn’t know they were media and released them later.  I guess the big ass camera and a couple of dudes standing around a guy didn’t clue you in.  Really?  You know you've done f’ed up when you make CNN look like the heroes.   

Omar Jimenez is the arrested reporter’s name.  He was a basketball player and rapper besides being a journo.  He goes by OJ Tropicana and you can check out his “sick beats” on his site.  It’s not my favorite style of hip-hop, but he seems okay.   I have to give OJ credit for giving a measured response and not act like an entitled douche bag like many blue-checkmark journos do.  He knew it was being recorded and he has powerful cooperate lawyers supporting him.  He was calm and smooth.  

BTW, I am probably just going to call CNN the boomer channel and FOX News the doomer channel.   

Why?

What in the hell did I just watch?  I never got Onision or his “content” and I am not a 13-year-old girl either.  But, another YT guy showed the clip from above and I was just confused and shocked.  Was I transported back to 2005?  Even on a YT Poop level this not entertaining.  Who is this for, O?   

BTW, comments and Likes/Dislikes are turned off.  Why?     

Spoony, priorities much?

Spoony, priorities much?   

And if he decides to nationalize Twitter, I'd expect he'd quickly move on to nationalizing the Internet (it's the only way to combat all the fake news), essentially forming a Department of Propaganda in charge of information censorship.

My prediction is that he's either going to threaten to nationalize Twitter, or publicly call on the Department of Justice to press vague charges and have people arrested for election tampering.

Despite his house being foreclosed, losing his GF, or having his Patreon dip to 340 a month, Spoony is more worked up about Trump threatening to “nationalize” Twitter.  Of all the things to get worked up about, Spoony., get mad they’re refusing to do anything about your madness and alienating your most loyal fans.   

Sorry, I get worked up about this guy because he had it all.  He actually had a job he enjoyed doing, that much is a blessing.  I live with depression too and I work I a job I truly can’t stand being at, but I do it because I have to.  Now, Spoony refuses to even talk on a damn “Let’s Play” as his life swirls around the drain.  Yet, he only gets worked up over Trump tweets.  Sad, so sad.   

Snyder Cut? To show or not to show?

I really didn’t care too much about the Synder Cut of the Justice League movie, because I felt the BvS movie was an utter mess.  However, after the collective backslash and complaining by the movie press, I am in full support of it.  While I still think Synder is the weaker part of the DC universe, I want this thing released just to piss off the butthurt journos.   

A bunch of articles are being released at the same bemoaning a fan base as being entitled, racist or sexist. It is as if these journos are working behind the scenes to create and push a narrative.  Why does this seem familiar?  Oh, it reminds me of that “Gamers are Dead” bullshit.  Hmm.   

Anyway, I enjoyed Man of Steel, but disliked BvS and felt Justice League was a complete but entertaining mess.  Superman finally felt like Superman, but Affleck was sleepwalking through that cut of the movie.  I simply didn't care about the movie version of DC, but now that it pisses off some neck-beard/blue-haired checkmarks, I will see the cut only because some of these stories are nasty and it seems they're trying to start a hashtag movement against them for clicks. 

MK11: Friendship? Again?

MK11 brought back funny Friendship modes.  I remember seeing them back in the 2D days.  It was a way to give a middle finger to the people complaining about the violence in the series.  Plus, it was a way to troll your opponent.   

I love the Robocop and Joker friendship ones.  Kano’s friendship is rather amusing too.   

BTW, I love that they brought in Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to reprise his role as  Shang Tsung from the movie.  He was also in the very first episode of TNG in the courtroom scene.   They also brought back Peter Weller as Robocop.  And, they even brought in Keith David to reprise his animated Spawn voice. 

What about that Kickstarter again?

Still no update on that 85K Kickstart, Zoe?  The blue-haired goddess mode popped in my brain today and I thought that huge failed Chuck Tingle video game that is still just sitting there without an update.  She last updated it back in 2018.  2018!  I get a kick out of the gaming press refusing to talk about this hugely fund VG or much talk about the Alec Holowka thing.  If you want a good laugh, check out the comments in the Kickstarter and people demanding an update.  Yeah, good luck with that.  At least Breanna Wu completed her game despite it being broken.   I love giving more updates on a Kickstarter more than the actual person that started the Kickstarter.  

Hana Kimura RIP: You are not weak

This reminds me of the August Ames thing. 
While I suffer from server depression, I generally sperate the shit from online from things happening in my own life.  Young people tend to forget that Twitter and social media doesn’t matter in the grander scheme of things.  Yet, they connect their whole lives to what people say and think about them on Twitter and other social media sites.  I’ve been called everything from a sellout to the N-word, but it is people’s actions that matter more than words.   Someone with blue hair's tweet doesn't matter as much as someone kicking your ass in real-life bullying. 

From what I can tell, Hana Kimura was a really cute and talented 22-year-old wrestler in Japan.  It appears she was just getting started when she took her life due to some shit she was getting on social media.  She got into it with someone in some stupid reality show and people started to give her the business.   

Instead of taking time away from Twitter and social media, she posted some troubling things before her death.  From Essentially Sports, ((She also put up a note on Twitter, which is even more heartbreaking to read after her suicide. “Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. I’m dead. Thank you for giving me a mother. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I’m weak, I’m sorry. I don’t want to be a human anymore. It was a life I wanted to be loved.” Hana wrote.)) 

Sadly, these are the same thoughts I had with my bout of depression a couple of years ago.   

Here’s where I get soft but don’t take it out on yourself.  If you make a major mistake, you have time to self-correct it and make yourself a better person.  Take from me, I’ve been following the Internet age for a good ten years.  I’ve watched people hailed as heroes turn into the very thing they hated.  I’ve seen terrible people actually turn themselves around.  You’re not weak for having suicidal thoughts.  I’ve been in some very dark places, but I am thankful I didn’t take my life.  Learn to improve and stop making the same mistakes.   

The worse enemy to yourself is yourself.  Things can get better if you're willing to change them.
