went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

As someone who actually, genuinely, studied this shit. The Agrarian past is so mind boggling, fundamentally, awfully worse than capitalism, people can't IMAGINE it. In literally every way. The peasant village was the worst oppressor is history. Capital can't even WISH to be that totalitarian.

a lot of this comes from the "reactionary critique of capital". this is a position from the right that sees capitalism as a state of degeneration of "natural bonds (communities) and bodies" and in doing so idealizes a fictitious precapitalist agrarian past as the solution

unfortunately this is the blood&soil naturalistic-nationalist line of movement, which is why it is an indictment of left politics that it is also popular among progressives

Hot take but i don’t think it’s trans women’s responsibility to deconstruct gender roles while everyone else gets to do whatever the fuck they want

A reader using a handheld computer that gives them access to every dictionary to complain about not knowing the meaning of a word is— I think we’re past learned helplessness and into deliberate helplessness. Malicious helplessness? Cosy helplessness?

When you watch a show without ever once engaging in the discourse of its alleged fandom you feel like you've mastered yogic flying

people claim to want "indie games with worse graphics made by people paid more to work less" right up until said indie game costs more than $20

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

it’s still pride month, right? uhhhh check out my books

as an enjoyer of the nightmare shit i do so deeply appreciate how critrole's instinct when adapting their campaigns to animation is always to make everything More Fucked Up

brain stop being alert despair about the state of my life and let me sleep challenge

this isn't about anything in particular but so many popular fandom critiques of media really do boil down to "this would be better if it was worse"

looking directly into the eyes of "misandry" believers

Maybe it's that a lot of people feel there's some sort of mythical reality that exists elsewhere, where you can actually Have Ground Beneath Your Feet and Not Worry About Things Being Taken Away, which, uh... uh... folks that has never existed

Unfortunately you will be doing Politics and having to fight for your right to exist until the day you die, sorry. Doesn't matter if it's at the ballot box in a republic or social maneuvering in a smaller and more localized form of governance-or-not-governance

If you are weird about asexual people this month you owe me $100

election nerds go to bed challenge

thinking again about the best nerd media tie-in novel I've ever read (by a huge margin). goddamn.

I love how AMC trailers are now 1. Trailers 2. Ad for Amazon 3. More trailers 4. AMC ad telling you you’re at a movie 5. AMC ad reminding you that you’re at a movie 6. 5-sec cut of Nicole Kidman reminding you you’re at the movies 7. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE 8. Did you know you’re at the movies

I was saying to someone at work the other day that the reason why the Death Star had to orbit Yavin to reach the moon would have to be explained in dialog today rather than it just being a 'I guess there's space reasons for it' thing like it was 49 years ago.

Rent is due tomorrow and I'm still about $500 short of my goal!

Tomorrow is the last day of the month and I'm still about $800 short of my goal of covering rent!

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Tomorrow is the last day of the month and I'm still about $800 short of my goal of covering rent!

A week to go until the end of the month and I'm still about $1600 short of my goal of making rent, please help if you can!

the think tank behind this one correctly assumes that if they call it Project 2029 then everyone will assume it's a proposal by the Central Committee of the Democratic Party (not a real thing) and not by some washed out consultants trying to stay relevant by reheating Joe Biden in the microwave

all my other issues (and there are so many of them) aside it's really amazing looking back at Andor S2 and seeing the only really coherent arc was Ghorman and the rest of it was mostly just characters having melodrama about things that happened offscreen

really am delighted by how much they made the darth maul show for me specifically. it's the best show lucasfilm's made AND it's about my very favorite thing: a girl getting Worse
