Puerto Rico is an island. Surrounded by water.

This is an island Link. Surrounded by water. Big water... | Random J

I have to hand it to the orange cockatoo. He can't run a country for shit, but he continually outdoes himself. Just when I think he can't be any worse of human being, he plummets to new depths. And just when I think he couldn't possibly say anything more stupid than what he said the day before, he opens his mouth and coughs up another corn kernel infested piece of shit.

Puerto Rico is going through it having been hit by a hurricane, in the wake of what has felt like a conveyor belt of natural disasters lately. Now, we all know that Trump has no care nor compassion for anybody with a skin tone darker than the hexadecimal colour #FCE6C9. So he was never going to go to any lengths to support recovery efforts for the people of Puerto Rico. When the carrot iced cupcake finally made a public statement these were his words...

"This is an island. Surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water".

Nothing he said made any sense. Even when you place it in the context of a video game which is set in an expanse of water with a talking boat it doesn't make any fucking sense.

Everybody and their dead great aunt knows that Puerto Rico is an island. And you don't need to tell somebody that an island is surrounded by water, because OF COURSE IT FUCKING IS. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT A DAMN ISLAND.

I can't help you with the definition of "big water" I'm afraid. Not heard that one before. Could be a spell in a Final Fantasy game. Or it could be a jet ski racing game on the Nintendo Switch. You'd need to ask Oompa weave piece.

'It's an island tho' is not a valid reason to hesitate and drag your feed sending aid and commissioning rescue efforts to a place in desperate need when you have the power and resource to do so. Because be rest assured, if the island of Manhattan were to get hit with a hurricane and every single one of Trump's towers got blown into oblivion, he'd have that rescue effort swoop in faster than Iron man.

This Sainsbury's carrier bag is neglecting to do a damn thing, because it would mean helping with a skin tone darker than Melania who speak Spanish. And to then have the nerve to call the Mayor of San Juan's leadership poor when she's wading through 'big water' with a megaphone to try and help her people?! Sunny D. Trump's foulness knows no bounds.

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Game Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake | The Real Housewives of Avalanche

So, originally I had written part of this as a '7 days with Final Fantasy VII Remake' piece, because I had thoughts that I felt compelled to type and share with all 2 people who know of this wasteland of blog. But I was so close to the end and had heard 'whispers' about the ending to this game, so figured I should just complete the damn thing so I can talk about all the things. And now here I am. Ready to talk about it all. This Review will be chock-a-block full of spoilers. So if you've not played the game yet, then read on at your own risk.

Yes. Everything Is Rubbish.
