I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

Doctor: so the thing is we've looked at these test results and the prognosis is bad Me: don't mince words. how bad? Dr: *whips out X-rays* as you can see, this Sega Dreamcast Visual Memory Unit is slowly working its way into your heart Me: ah, yes, my old battle injury from the console wars

Remisse has patched English into the Japan-only Saturn version of Wizardry IV — and not only that, he's fixed a long list of bugs and missing content in the console port, too! Read all about it: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/26/f... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #videogames #translation

Okay not going to wrap this into the other thread but OH MY GOD THANK YOU'VE BEEN FUCKIN SAYING THIS lol in like 2010 we were getting think pieces like "Should games even have bosses? Are bosses jusr ARCHAIC DESIGN??" and now somehow they're the only parts of the game people think are real.

tag your mutuals who are irrationally terrified of santa claus as a result of unethical experiments in classical conditioning performed on them as a baby

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

*interrogation room at end of time* Good Time Cop: you know, we aren't really surprised a lot in this job. We usually stop people killing Hitler, maybe buying stocks Me: right Good Time Cop: but this— Bad Time Cop: *slams the table* WHY THE -FUCK- DID YOU FORCEFEM HEGEL Me: ...that was Hegel?

hegseth, like trump, has a sexual fixation on atrocities and considers consensual sex to be inferior to rape

As much as I hate Comey I still think Anthony Weiner bears more of the responsibility for 2016 than Comey, if only because it's much more understandable to me that somebody would hate Hillary Clinton for petty reasons than that somebody married to a hot smart lady would want to sext teenagers

The easiest way to get That Kind of Boomer to block you is to vociferously refuse to believe they're a boomer

Please move away from Itch. They do not deserve a penny, and any pennies you do give the creators who make the things you love seem to have a pretty slim chance of actually reaching them now anyway.

boomers really like music and bands that are named after places you'll be like “hey guys my jam band released this album called ‘Wisconsin’; it's the sequel to our freshman album, ‘Connecticut’,” and then there'll be a little pool of drool collecting at someone's dad's feet

it really irritates me that because COVID vaccines aren't free anymore (thanks Biden!) and my only healthcare comes from the VA, which apparently does not think it is important to stock, provide, or subsidize COVID vaccines, I spent over $340 on them this year

"Autistic Reporter Michael Falk" was such a tremendous fucking Onion bit back in the day ngl

look i love tokusatsu people but the idea of trying to do culture war shit about a kamen rider is the most ascended form of skub/anti-skub i can imagine

Every time I realize I don't know what a databus is, and go to look up the explanation of what a databus is, I come away thinking, "gee, gosh, I don't, uh, I don't know what a databus is"

If we follow your science fiction fantasies and get rid of the Black Death and Smallpox, extending average lifespans by a decade, living longer than Nature And God Intended, then this will only empower the feudal lords and cheapen life.

Engraving two bullets with "this bullet only lies" and "this bullet only tells the truth" to really stump the FBI

what's with people on here always being like "you *should* believe the fbi's word you idiot, it *was* a communist that burned down the reichstag" you have mush for brains

Is it eggs ALL THE WAY DOWN???!!

It's funny how whenever these people act like apotheosis is some kind of truly perverted and megalomaniacal thing to strive for, the Mormons start catching strays

Anyway,

Oh, you say that there's no place for violence in this country? Welcome to the police abolition movement

STILL CORRECT AND STILL RELEVANT

Oh goodness, so many neat looking horror games coming out in the next month!

Increasingly in favor of letting the Free Market® decide whether or not people can shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater

"these sex scenes in movies are so unnecessary" no they aren't. your job, as a viewer of media, is to ask the question "why is this there", with the good faith assumption that there is a interesting answer. by even accepting the framing that you're using, you're abdicating your role in the work

too many people talking about poster's madness not enough people talking about pastor's madness

YouTube, I am never, ever, ever turning off uBlock Origin

Ah. So people could always do this about Rowling and they were just choosing not to. Understood.

There's two kinds of people who remember the Burger King Kid's Club: people who owned TMNT 2 on VHS, and I lied about the other kind existing www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxuZ...

NOT JUST DESIGNERS BABY

Publicly traded companies are a scam containing a whole bunch of other scams

I have a dear friend who was incarcerated for several years, and spent quite a bit of that working in the prison kitchen. He also reported, directly to me, that they regularly got bags and boxes of food marked "not for human consumption".

Doug has long since grown up and become a Destiny orbiter, much like all the members of the former Burger King Kid's Club* are Fuentes orbiters *with the exceptions of Boomer, who became a fully online-brained member of the Less Wrong community, and Kid Vid, who became an apolitical e-girl streamer

see what's interesting to me about this is that they're not expressing prudishness they're just being impatient the objection isn't "sex is gross" it's "movies and tv shows should just be all plot momentum and anything that's in there just for the vibes is bad"

it'd be cool if everyone would stop trying to reinvent the Hays Code when there's a huge political project geared toward having queer people declared obscene

wall market queen: why you dressing this guy up like some baby queer that owns way too many fairy tale books tifa: i think he looks nice wall market queen: his whole vibe is clearly more fit for dirtbag lesbian outfits tifa: nooooo i want the pretty dressessssss

mentally ill implies the existence of womenshorty healthy

CHOTINER: …and you're comfortable embracing maximalist contradictions, is this fair? ME: Maximalist contra—sorry, go on? CHOTINER: Sure. So you've said you're an anarchist… ME: Yeah. Sure. CHOTINER: But didn't you also say “the Decian Persecutions were based”? ME: I, uh—did I say that? Well.

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

Sunstein: I hope you're ready for mouthwatering liberalism! Chotiner: I thought we were having "Henry Kissinger is based". Sunstein: Oh no, I said 'Stars War'! That's what I call liberalism. Chotiner: You call liberalism 'Stars War'? Sunstein: Yes! It's a regional dialect.

Just want to highlight the amazing work @jayeallisonashtear.bsky.social did creating an illustrated version of me as a bigger braver version of me to share my independent writing & research. Working with Allison was AWESOME & I have gotten great responses on the pic.

I'm writing up a retrospective on the rise of fascism over the last 10 years of the Trump era, and while I want more nuanced takes, there really is no central and more influential villain singularly responsible for the complete collapse we're in than the media. They created Trump. They sustain him.

jesse singal is a lying hack and publishing him will actively damage the reputation of any news org dumb enough to do so

she suddenly realized all the things in life she was too busy to really dig into
