Just a reminder, we called bullshit on Wolverine as early as the ***FIRST*** State of Play where they revealed it in June.
Why? Ham-fisted aesthetic choices obviously infected with the woke mind virus. Once you see that, you know it's garbage.
Now sales are falling off a cliff. Per @SmashJT: $130 million first week; $18 million week 2.
I don't want to keep saying I told you so, but....
Wolverine and the X Men (Team X?) are just anti-human activists now. They always walked the edge, but the woke mafia have pushed them over the cliff.
Villifying young, athletic, attractive Americans, the logical end for the woke mafia.

“The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”
-Ayn Rand
I’m not done yet!
But, I think I’ve made decent progress
I have a full time job
I’m a father 🤠
I didn't inherit anything
I’m a husband 💙
I don’t spend time arguing online
I believe in hard work
I don’t need to sell y'all roids/ozempic
I show up even when I'm exhausted
I have student loans
I’m not interested in making AI content
I didn't go to a fancy school
I celebrate progress, not perfection
I don't care about keeping up with the Joneses
I’m building this life from the ground up
You can do it.
I can do it.
We can do it.

The prompt on Chat GPT was “a looming shadow over The Coalition Gears of War Dev office after E-Day flops, real image, 16:9”
And this is what it made…
Holy shit.

And again, can I get a Christian cross?
Heck, can I get a "TRUMP 2028" flag while we're at it? The latter is equally political as the "Gay Palestinian" flag, and endorsed by far more people.
The weird sex flags in Gears of War could be ignored, sure. But they aren’t meant to be ignored. They’re meant to be seen.
They are a digital land acknowledgement. Meaningless and symbolic. They’re the “earth and water” in 300 telling you to bend the knee. They’re a tithe paid to a culture I have no interest in participating in.
They’re insufferable.

100%. Preordering games is a complete waste, unless you can get a full refund on demand.
Gears of War: E-Day is another big case where we can say with confidence that the Western AAA gaming industry has changed tactics.
Instead of celebrating and rubbing the whole DEI agenda in our faces, they're now trying to hide it in absolutely ALL of the game's promotional material, giving the impression that it will be a politically neutral title.
Halo: Campaign Evolved was like this, Saros was like this, and Marvel's Wolverine was like this for most of its marketing campaign too.
Even though Gears of War: E-Day hasn't launched yet, I can already see it will be the same, and I'll go further: GTA 6, The Witcher 4, and many other titles from the Western AAA industry will be like this from now on.
It's their new strategy for putting DEI in games while not losing sales.
How do we fight it? Well, it's actually very simple: don't preorder games. Wait until you have as much information as possible about a title before deciding to buy it.
I know that isn't easy for many people, especially when you're dying to play something you've been waiting on for a long time, but it's the safest way to fight this today.
I've been really busy the past few days, which is why I've been missing from X.
But I'll try my best to keep up with Gears of War: E-Day. I'm not sure if I'll play it on day one, because I don't have Game Pass and I don't want to install that awful Windows Game Bar and Xbox app just for this, and I absolutely don't want to pay full price for this game on Steam.
That's it. Vote with your wallets, today and always.

This morning:
I was privately invited to an @AbdulElSayed event in the City of Flint by a friend who is a retired City of Flint Cop. Very nice black lady, very tough when she was a cop. Great stories. I have friends from all walks of life and my friend talked me into going to "look over the fence". So yeah why not go? We all have to talk/listen.
This event was RSVP and you had to show a special email confirmation that was emailed out late last night.
We got there 75 minutes before event start time. 15 minutes before door opened. The line literally wrapped around all 4 sides of the city block. What? I was told and in the email this was a closed event.
We stood in line for over an hour. We literally got up to the door and WAS DENIED. Was told the event was now full. We were very nice to the guard and an event person about letting us in. My friend named dropped the Mayor. We were literally at the door. I have never EVER in 35 years been denied entry to an event. Certainly NEVER EVER when AT THE DOOR. While talking at the door I counted 14 people who walked out, we pointed that out and was still denied entry.
Behind us was 100 people also denied. What a mess. @AbdulElSayed whomever is organizing your events you must do better! Then further insult we were told "hey there's an afternoon event in Macomb County if you want to drive that hour+". Unbelievable.
I have never EVER been denied entry to an event in 35 years. This was a mess, a joke! Then add in the literally crazy people walking up and down the sidewalk yelling, screaming all types of things, f bombing, people openly smoking pot.
More to come on this topic.
PS: for you crazies that will burn me down for this, I am not voting for Abdul.

If you need to be told NOT to go to the drug fueled orgy, you aren’t mature enough for college.

65 years ago today, the Dick Van Dyke Show premiered.
Did you know the theme song originally had lyrics?
The time @iammrvandy sang them for all of you to hear.

A buddy of mine gave me a copy of Gears of War like 15 years ago. After I got to the first boss battle, I gave it back.
"So...you gave me a giant warrior with all these firearms, and instead of using them for real, it's just some arena combat that's all about dodging. It's not that I can't do it, it's that this is not the game I thought it was going to be."

Warriors first, ALWAYS.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecWar, we are increasing Imminent Danger and Hostile Fire Pays for the first time since 2002. Those who face combat deserve compensation that reflects the risks they take. It is long-overdue recognition for the immense sacrifices of our warfighters on the front lines.
Thanks to the team at @ASWMandRA for helping drive this critical update. @DoW_USW_PR continues to prioritize what matters most: the readiness, lethality, and warrior ethos of our Total Force.

The transitions between each section are incredibly smooth. It’s so good that I got completely absorbed in this arrangement and almost forgot about the original soundtrack.

Your ability to balance comes from the inner ear (Vestibular system)
There is a system of canal and organ structures that align with gravity, sense propulsion, motion, rotation
These coordinate with your eyes and muscles and brain
This system always functions, but as you age and move less, your brain becomes less organized with the information
People lose balance easier, slip, fall. This is preventable, but you need to do movement that requires balancing in the first place
This is possibly why tennis seems to improve longevity
It's constant lateral motion, multi directional movement
Keeps the brain young and stimulates neuroplasticity
