@simonjordon So it’s OK to continually throw out uneducated, derogatory, inflammatory insults aimed a @AstonVilla without consequence?! This has been going on for far too long with the biased media & as I posted yesterday it was the straw that broke the camels back! A club who’s first Chairman William McGregor “the father of the football league” literally wrote the rules of the game under a gas lamp in Aston & as a founding member of the football league formed in 1888. Making a statement that MY club would “NEVER be as big as @ManUtd” when Aston Villa FC was not only the biggest football club in the world but was considered “the most powerful sporting entity in the world” too up until WW2 was ridiculous … @AstonVilla HAVE ALREADY BEEN far, far bigger than Yanited! ….Which is why Hitler invited the club to a preseason tournament along with the national teams of England & Scotland in 1938… as I posted yesterday… Implying that @UnaiEmery_ would need to leave the club for the shambles up the M6 …when Villa now sit joint top of the @ChampionsLeague table to ever win that competition after winning the @EuropaLeague last season, despite our squad being pillaged this summer! And when the fan base took JC to task about his insinuation that we accept our position as a second tier entity in the football food chain & basically accept our superb manager leaving for pastures new & that the club shouldn’t aspire to aim higher…we were all told to STFU Followed up by Sky pundits even resorting to putting out downright lies on Saturday night after the Fulham game ….that Villa fans booed Emery’s football at first! Absolute nonsense when in his first game in charge we beat Yanited 3-1 & were superb! #AVFC fans like our owners are not stupid & we ALL know that there is an agenda behind it all…..👇🏼
Replying to @AVFCLancelot
The Cartel & their media muppets will do & say anything they like to stop a club like @AstonVilla climbing up “the food chain” as JC called it… That first game under Unai at Villa Park v United was a complete transformation from the dross that was served up at Fulham that got Gerrard the sack & we won 3-1 as I remember…… The Cartel & PSG made sure they took 6 of our starters in the Summer… after we dared win the Europa League And now after gloating over our poor start…. when #AVFC 2.0 beat City live on Sky & are joint top of the #UCL table with PSG …under Unai ..the Cartel have decided that they need to prize our manager away from B6… Only City, Arsenal & Liverpool have amassed more PL points than Villa since Unai walked through the door… That cannot be tolerated …

Driveclub was one of the few PS-exclusive racing games I never got to play as I had an XB1 at the time. A recent recompile project has made it playable on PC. This is everything I've always wanted out of an arcade racer. Immediately reminds me of classic NFS pre-Underground.

George Lucas didn’t have the balls to tell the actually compelling story here: Padme really was going to die during pregnancy, the Dark Side really is stronger, Anakin becomes a Sith to save her and his children, and he does save them, but after learning of the terrible things he’s done (younglings), she kills herself. That’s a story. Shakespearean. Like Hamlet’s Ophelia. In that version, Anakin had to become Vader for Luke to be born, so that together they could overthrow the Emperor. Suddenly everything falls into place. Instead Lucas has to tell the boring black-and-white version where Palpatine was just lying and there was actually no point whatsoever in Anakin becoming a Sith and Padme just spontaneously evaporates.
Quick Padme rant now that the prequels are trending again. One of the things that bothers me most about Padme and also incidentally exemplifies how she really does fit the progressive, longhoused girlfriend meme is her death. A lot of people simplify her death into "Oh Anakin killed her." To be clear, he did not kill her. The movie explicitly states she was physically fine but died of a broken heart. So this woman has 2 newborn children, but she is so heartbroken over Anakin rejecting the Republic and going to the darkside that she can't even summon the will to live to raise her own babies. Madness. Insanity. Perfect illustration of the liberal adherence to ideology over family.

Anakin était un mec bien. Le bro naît sur Tatooine, grosse précarité. À 9 ans, il se fait littéralement arracher à la daronne par le camp du bien (les Jedi), qui lui expliquent tranquillement que pour devenir un bon Jedi, bah faut couper les ponts avec elle. « L'attachement, c'est mal »... Déjà, red flag. Malgré ce move éclaté, le petit Anakin vit son rêve, devient Jedi et espère un jour pouvoir sauver la madre. À ce moment-là, le mec est câblé à l'ancienne : générosité, amour pur pour sa daronne et Padmé, et envie profonde de carry les opprimés. À la base c'est ça ses valeurs. Puis il grandit, le gars devient cheaté comme on a jamais vu, et problème : il commence à avoir des visions d'horreur où sa mère souffre. Donc il veut aller la sauver, normal. Réponse du Conseil ? Non. Ta mère ok, mais le règlement avant tout frérot. Fast forward, il finit par désobeir et quand il arrive enfin sur place, le timing est catastrophique : sa mère meurt dans ses bras. Bah là Anakin, il se mange une énorme redpill sur l'Ordre Jedi. Bah oui, les mêmes types qui prétendent incarner le bien, n’en ont en fait rien à foutre, ils sont là à lui lâcher des dingueries en mode « étouffe ton deuil frérot » et « le regret c'est pour les weak ». En gros, ta mère vient de mourir, mais merci de rester professionnel. Le pauvre Anakin est Isolé, privé de toute empathie & soutien, et poussé à bout par des boomers qui ont visiblement raté deux ou trois cours sur la psychologie humaine. Chose qui devait arriver, arrive : il finit par basculer vers le côté "obscur", mais c'est pas le délire d'un méchant random. C'est juste le retour de bâton d'un homme bon mais brisé. Mais le pire dans tout ça, c'est que même après avoir rejoins le coté obscur, il est bon jusqu'au bout. Le mec en dernière zone il lâche le clutch ultime : Il stun Palpatine, le jette dans le vide et se fout en l'air pour sauver son fils Luke. TOP 1 du siècle dslé. Bref son histoire, c’est la vengeance légitime d'un mec qui s'est fait détruire par un système immonde qui l'a poussé à bout et empêché de sauver les seules personnes qu'il aimait. Anakin était un mec bien.

- The *new* Star Wars trilogy comes out in 1999-2005 - Boomers hate Anakin (probably because he is Vader) - Younger generations still love him - Hayden gets real recognition and love closer to 2020, to the extent where he cries on stage. (Probably because the people who actually like him and Anakin as a character didn't have a voice for the longest time) - Anakin popularity increases through memes and appearances in newer Star Wars shows/movies - Right-wingers adopt Anakin to push their agenda - Suddenly everyone hates Anakin again, to the extent where they start making BS arguments as to why Luke is "better". Anakin is and will always be The Chosen One in the SW universe.

It's not all about fascism in the Anakin Skywalker narrative, liberals would make it that simple 🌐🛰️ Anakin knew Palpatine was the sith lord and evil. He did the right thing telling Windu. He showed up to help arresst Palpatine with Windu, but Windu refused to arrest Palpatine, he tried to kill him. Self-righteous Mace Windu, tried to slay the emperer in front of Anakan, solidifying the Jedi hypocricy. I thought that is not the Jedi way? 🛰️🛰️ Anakin just wanted the Emperer arrested and alive to save Padme. Mace Windu was the LAST living soul that to fail Anakin. He had to choose, his wife or the Jedi. Non of the slaying, non of the wars, non of Anakin becoming the EMperers apprentice would have happened if MACE WINDU arrested Palpatine. Yes it became a self fulfilling prophecy all along Padme dying anyways.. but again Mace Windu betraying the Jedi code with hypocricy set the chain reactions in motion once again creating this path for Anakin. Non of the Jedi counsel ever took responsibility for their part in creating Darth Vader, and the Rise of the Sith Empire. Anakin begged him 2-3 times, do not kill him. Windu in that moment created Darth Vader. Anakin did what he thought he had to do.. but the counsel betrayed him in more ways than one. Now mace Windu fell out da windu, taking the Republic with him Now Anakin is what you made him, Darth Vader. He doesnt care about politics or fascism. Lord Vader is the inevitable consequences of pushing someone too far, pushing people too far, taking everything from them. Lessons in that... 🧠

Halloween barely registered in the 1970s in England. November 5 was the big one: Guy Fawkes, a community bonfire, a burnt effigy, a foiled baked potato, and fireworks.

Oh dear. Can't they just let us have some fun? The recomp scene is the best thing to happen to videogames in a long time.

Not many want to talk about this, but once you become conscious, life stops being fun and turns into a prison Try listening to music The lyrics are manipulation. Try watching a movie. Everything is propaganda. Your brain instantly spots the hidden agenda of whoever paid for the story. Try going out to an event and everyone around you is laughing at things that aren’t funny. It’s like everyone is running the same programming. It’s a performance of insecurity held together by dopamine and ignorant confidence. Consciousness does not set you free. It isolates you. It disconnects you from the clown world everyone else is still pretending is normal.
