HR Giger drew all those monster penises because he was the final boss of doodling dicks

cEDH CLEARLY needs to step it up.

Slipping into my DJ alter-ego for a sec: www.facebook.com/events/14784... It's the Valentine's Day special this month, so come on out for songs of true romance! By which I mean X's "True Love Pt. #2", obviously. Y'all come on out!

Did you know Bluesky has a Substack labeller? Many people post to Substack using custom URLs which hide the fact they're using the service. The labeller can help you tell when someone's trying to conceal their affiliation and prevent you from sharing their stuff accidentally.

The worst part about the og pronoun picker being gone is i don't think we'll see such widespread adoption of the tool again even if someone makes a substitute. Everyone who flooded in when the site first opened was sent *there* early on

<reposting in admiration>

Honestly, what I'd *love* to find for one of our performer spots is a punk or other band influenced by acts like Pansy Division / The Muslims / Dog Park Dissidents / Against Me to play our Boston stage, June 5th in front of a few thousand screaming dykes. If this describes yr band, hit me up!

Just final add—I do not give a f**k about your slogans. “Respectability politics” and “optics” are why countries around the world that have had revolutions of various kinds laugh/mock/question you. The deaths/violence of civilians does not move your empathy/sympathy, but only how it is perceived.

When I went on my six year hiatus, and someone was, like, “Veerender, your hiatus lasted longer than the Confederacy. You should have a statue.” They were so correct for that.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

AWWWWW, HELL YEAH

So, a buddy got bushwhacked again by a granola wingnut, so I gotta remind y'all yet again: It's absolutely CRITICAL that one curates one's counterculture, or else you get antivax and Soros theories and chemtrail bullshit and all kinds of other fascist/protofascist horrors.

My favorite thing about this is how beautifully sketched the pod is compared to the facehugger

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

janelle monáe, ke huy quan and pedro pascal

All the rest of y'all, too. Dig this.

"Oh dear" indeed

#TheTenX5 Day 7 44. PITBULL ft KE$HA - "Timber" Pitbull's thoughtful song about labour conditions in the logging industry has been subject to some misinterpretation, glad of this chance to put the record straight youtu.be/hHUbLv4ThOo?...

(Also, go check out @steamread.bsky.social's Mage: the Ascension LARP that Friday night before ours!)

TAA-DAAAAAA!

And the obvious 3) Costuming is encouraged, but realistic prop weapons do not spark joy with the campus po-po - please check with your Keepers before bringing any prop guns, knives, swords, lasers, etc., even if you think they’re accurate to the character description.

Let's repeat those first two: YOU MUST ALREADY HAVE AN OWLCON BADGE *AND* HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE GAME BEFORE YOU RESERVE A CHARACTER. So hie thyself to owlcon.com with all due haste and sign up. (I mean, do it anyways - OwlCon's cool and you wanna go!)

A few reminders: 1) You must already be registered with Owlcon to reserve a character. 2) If you have not signed up for our game, please do so before claiming a character. You can comment on the doc, but we will not verify the character as reserved if you aren’t signed up for the game.

You will claim a character by commenting on that character’s ID number. As we can, your Keeper Corps will update the document with who has claimed which character. If multiple people claim the same character, we will go with who commented first (we can see the edit/comment history).

Here's how this is going to work: On Saturday (the 7th) sometime in the evening (between 8 and 10 PM-ish Houston time, modulo AHHHHH EDITING) we will be posting the character list at mythoshouston.com as *read-only* for your perusal. Then at 9 PM on Sunday (the 8th), we will open it for comments.

Sayyyyy, who's got two thumbs and is panicking trying to get props printed and programmed in time for the LARP? 👍👍

Okay y'all, I think I posted about this when it was announced, but now that it's out, GET THIS NOW. ASAP. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Steam/... SOOOOOOOO good. (and freakin' adorable.)

Spiking the Kamala Harris endorsement can be rationalized as something that was done on the opinion side of the newspaper so less dire, but management spiking a news story means the outlet is official dead.

HELLS TO THE YEAH

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

In my opinion, the architect of the Launch Control Center at Canaveral did a kicksss job

if you don't want secret police you should be calling to abolish the secret police

The Democrats didn’t flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. The PEOPLE flipped a red seat in the Texas Senate.

i cannot be dissuaded from the belief that something approaching utopia is simple, obvious, and within reach. it is the source of my unrelenting optimism and unrelenting rage
