"Would you like your evil done in the traditional overt bombs-dropped-on-children fashion, or the new we'll-sell-your-entire-life-to-the-highest-bidder-while-feeding-you-non-stop-lies-to-establish-a-fascist-regime style, sir?"
This guy: Bomb some kids, at least it's a spectacle.
(Edit for clarification: I think both are bad, and one has a strong causal relationship with the other but I am not sure I would pick Raytheon personally. It's a bit too overtly evil for my tastes)
That's what I'm thinking reading this and other articles. It's like the Republican party is reaching to find increasingly desperate ways to get into Trump's graces, to the point that it feels like they're running out of ideas by this point and have started a race to the bottom debasing themselves for his amusement.
How does this man hold so much sway over them? He has the charisma of a wet rag, the character and patience if a toddler, and the long term vision of a house fly. Out of all the things I read about him and his cult, this is the one thing that baffles me the most.
Man, I suck at this game since I am sure it's not Intergalactic by the Beasty Boys, but my brain refuses to come up with other suggestions.
Found the Canadian. "It's never a war crime the first time".
Yeah, she's really letting her "I love authoritarians" flag fly these days. I am however somewhat surprised Rustad isn't right there next to her.
Dude. What the hell is that thread. He's trying to hit every asshole prejudice stereotype on the books. What the fuck. I am definitely uninstalling every ENB, that's for sure.
I'm tangentially aware of there being a conflict, but not entirely filled in on it. Care to elaborate and enlighten me as to why he needs to eat shit?
In the "Beaverton headlines I wish were real" category, I present the January 2025 winner.
They also laid off folks with H1Bs. No, I suspect the real story here is that someone somewhere got convinced these jobs could be done even cheaper by AI, so they're cutting folks to fund the datacenters basically.
There is a minimum required amount of bronzer you're required to apply to be accepted into the MAGA leadership. See also the transformation Ron DeSantis pulled.
Yeah, everyone always brings up the Wii U but the whole "New" 3DS situation was even less clear if you ask me
Hint
The name of this song is also a Celtic Frost album title.

First hint at 24 hours
Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important
Second hint at 48 hours
Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .
Answer
Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
[24 hour hint] Since this is a pretty difficult one, here's a big hint: The band is named after a poem by John Milton.
[Solution] This was a hard one due to the genre, but I loved how the AI captured the two states the subject of the song finds himself in by using the heaven and hell imagery side by side and the depiction of the long stairwell to absolution. Nowhere in the song does it explicitly mention heaven or that ascension, but it does capture the protagonists journey from fear and self-doubt to letting to and wondering why they ever felt that way to begin with quite well.
As it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The clock and what it represents is extremely relevant to the topic of this song.
[Update] Good guesses everyone. The link with Meatloaf is that he and Iron Maiden have a song that shares the same title (Heaven can wait), and the link with The Hu is that Iron Maiden will be touring the US this year with The Hu as support.
I refuse to believe that tweet is real on principal, but it's just tone deaf enough to have me question whether this might have actually been shat out by a corporate marketing team as part of some greenwashing effort.
If this is someone memeing however: Kudos, this one is very convincing despite being wildly ridiculous.
