It's wild to me the number of people acting like this photo of McConnell is actual proof of life - as if we've not just spent the last several years loudly, with great theft and at great cost, developing the means to easily fake such images. Gov. Beshear should aggressively pursue *actual* proof.

Mole was a really good psychological horror game wrapped around deep earth drilling made by someone with a serious love for cassette tapes. Brief but dense and satisfying. No notes.

Hopefully Platner doesn't pull a McConnel by keeping his moldering corpse of a campaign on life-support until it's too late to replace him. Don't live in Maine, but it (and every state) deserves better than a Nazi r@pist who knows how to play-act the progressive.

Was in Ghana for two weeks visiting my partner's family, and made a visit to the Nkyinkyim Installation (ky is 'ch') of the Ancestor Project, by Kwame Akoto-Bamfo. Haunting work, especially the pool representing those captives who drowned at sea. Reparations can't come soon enough.

Doja Cat said Elon Musk looks like he eats sand, and why is that such an accurate damn description!?

Don't have high hopes due to Sony's recent move back toward exclusives, but man I hope Laufey gets a PC port at some point. Would play the absolute hell out of it.

Time to post it @erikaishii.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social

Souls games are where you kill a demigod who is the last guardian knight of the land, saunter out the arena feeling incredible and then immediately get your shit wrecked by a dog sized rat

Tired: Helen of Troy should be white and blonde and, and - *cue breathless racist toddler tantrum* Wired: As the possible daughter of Zeus and Nemesis, Helen of Troy should be fully divine, and should be depicted as an incarnation of/magnet for justified vengeance.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

This is Blu. He is here for booty scratches. Can also easily be over there for booty scratches. Or there. Just say the word. 13/10 (TT: 24hddsd)

(Spoilers) I thought the Maul series was 'okay.' Not enough of the titular character, and the entire Lawson plotline felt like a time-consuming distraction, but I liked Devon and Daki's dynamic - with each other and with Maul. Devon's arc was predictable, but believable and well-executed. (1/3)

Just started watching a Saros playthrough earlier today, and I'm really hoping that the planet being named Carcosa, and the fact that one of the first crazy people is named Bierce, is a sign - a Yellow Sign, you might say - that this game's story is gunna have some serious eldritch energy.

Applying for jobs is hard and demoralizing. Pitching books (or any art) is infinitely harder and the rejections, more personal. It's truly a delight - that I am not built for - to be doing both at the same time.

Just watched the spelling bee clip where a white child is called upon to spell 'Negus' by a panel of judges who cannot pronounce the word correctly. They insist on saying 'Nee-gus,' which would be spelled ኒግሥ. The word is ንጉሥ, which is 'Nəguś' or 'Nuh-goos.'

Had the unforgettable experience of seeing Raye live in concert! Gunna have Click Clack Symphony stuck in my head for the next month or three.

Maybe if we keep shitting on the vibecoding, they'll hire some actual programmers who know how to program. Job creation via trolling.

My partner has a real gift for translating decades of experience cooking with a vibes-based, add-ingredients-and-adjust-temp-until-it-looks-right methodology into very effective measurement-and-timer-based recipes my autistic ass can work with. Just...shout-out to her, cause she makes it seem easy!

easily one of the funniest guys america has had in decades

This guy's deadpan take on it had me in stitches this morning: www.youtube.com/shorts/NfRi3...

I legitimately wonder what would happen if Leo placed the US under interdict - no Catholic mass, confession, or funerals - or if he excommunicated Vance et al. I feel like the Medieval European history I've been reading is bleeding out into reality.

I love the idea that the Axumites and their descendants apparently encountered so many Greek missionaries and merchants named Yohannes, that Yonanawi became the Gəʽəz word for Greek. 'Him? He's a John. Those holy fathers? Johns, from the faraway land of the Johns.'

Say what you will about the moral monstrosity of a cosseted, privileged president treating war like a game - and there's *plenty* to say - but highlighting his draft-dodging as an avenue of attack seems counterproductive at a time when we need every wrench possible thrown into the gears of war.

you don't actually hate what you're creating. if it was made by someone else, you'd like it. you'd say it's cool. you'd say it's inspiring. you can easily imagine another artist drawing this, and someone else liking it. you only doubt it because it's yours. stop. it's okay. you're allowed to be.

Yes, we should talk about how pathetic it is that the US, Israel, and Argentina voted against Ghana's UN resolution recognizing the moral abomination that was the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. But we should ALSO highlight the 52 abstentions - most of which came from European colonizers.

"Live action" Disney remakes always look like shit, they're always gross cash-grabs (it's questionable if writers get paid when they get made), and they never cement themselves very long in the public consciousness. A movie being animated is not a problem to be solved.

Idea: mandatory retirement age for Congress equivalent to the average U.S. life expectancy (79) so they actually care about improving it.

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

Trump is clearly a champion of Chaos Undivided. He helps Nurgle spread his diseases via Secretary Brainworm, and so his rot is held at bay for a little while. He feeds Khorne's bloodlust at home and abroad, while dancing to the tune of at least five different puppeteers - as Tzeentch would wish.

I think it's time to revive the Ludlow Amendment - no war without a national referendum - with some revised language to rule out 'military operations' or whatever other weaselly bullshit politicians put together to justify bombing without congressional approval.

30 years. This video should be on every network.

Rice, shito, and baked/seasoned tilapia while watching the blizzard from my window. Glad I don't have to go anywhere today!

Hey, friends! @ziibiing.com and the awesome folks at StandWithMinnesota have launched #keepMNhoused! Check out keepMNhoused.com and kick in to help folks affected by ICE stay in their homes! ALSO, artists, please join the call for art to help spread the word! (art here by the great @trungles.com)

Honestly, any survivor who can stand that *close* to Bondi without going absolutely Maenad on her has god-like levels of self-control.

For some reason, I've noticed a lot of memes and posts on my social lately expressing bafflement as to how anyone could RP an atheist in #dnd or a like #TTRPG. To those moots also pondering this conundrum, I'd suggest looking up the Athar - one of the Factions of ye olde Planescape lore.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

I saw someone write Lutnick as Nutlick as a joke, and now I can't *unsee* it. Every time I see the smug fucker's name, I get that mental image now, and it's hella gross. Repulsion aside, I hope someone calls him that to his face.

All US 'Territories' should be allowed to vote on leaving the US, remaining a territory, or becoming a state. The referendum could have 2 rounds of voting if no option gets over 50%, or you could have a 60% threshold for passing leave or state, with territory being the default if neither pass.

Dumas' FATHER was born to a French count and an enslaved African women in Haiti. The Père was then brought to France, was educated, served in the military, etc. "The Black Count" is a fantastic book about him. His son is the author Alexander Dumas, and he based Count of Monte Cristo on his Dad.🇭🇹

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

Also, side-bar on Helen of Troy: One of the older versions of her birth saw her as the child of Zeus and Nemesis - which would make her the *fully* divine child of justice (ironic, given Zeus' fuckery here) and retribution. Give me a movie about Helen, divine avatar of just retribution, you cowards!

In honor of both Black History Month and the current 'controversy' amongst chuds regarding Lupita Nyong'o being cast as Helen of Troy, I will resuscitate my relevant essays on Memnon - the Trojan-blooded King of Aethiopia - and Andromeda. vocal.media/history/memn...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
