Having a post get even a mild amount of attention and just blocking every annoying reply probably confirms that I would never have a big account, even if able

Developing ethical porn in 2025 (I have watermarked every square inch with both the family trees of all participants and written statements of consent)

think most left-leaning folks underestimate the importance and impact of having your cadres in the bureaucracy as well as in elected positions

Someday I will get around to making my tabletop wargaming rage-bait video essay "Warhammer 40k is a skirmish game" but it's such low hanging fruit when GW will refer to 1500 points of Horus Heresy as a skirmish www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

It drives me insane to think back to the pre-Covid years of basically never being sick and then contrasting with now, having gotten it three times, regularly being wiped out by any random passing cold/flu/whatever.

I'm a soft touch on wanting people to be welcomed in/forgiven but even that doesn't extend this far. You need to do more than forgive yourself and blame others, which isn't a high bar.

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

This idea of a nazi phase circulates from time to time but what I've never been clear on is what exact shape that's expected to take. Is the average guy that gets deep into WW2 going through a Nazi phase? Because most of them are deep into Wehrmacht shit

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

For a friend's bachelor's party I ran a relatively brief game of "Fellas is it gay" by @ashthestampede.bsky.social and boy was it delightful. As soon as one of the fellas got "sailing underneath the Colossus of Rhodes" down as not gay it unlocked an entire world of whimsy

Nearby attraction that makes a compelling case to visit

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry?

Honestly seems more like a French problem more than a gender one, but you really need to read the room on the timing of this shit

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

This is the latest despicable action in a series of despicable actions from a despicable regime, but also I find it infuriating that they just don't seem to understand what government actually is or how it works

The appropriate response to people telling you to be civil to people who want to oppress other people is to tell them to get fucked

It's a shame the internet isn't real, maybe I could have found someone who cared any amount about the ending of Crypt Custodian like I do

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Slightly diminish a book Howl's Unmoving Castle

1️⃣ Post-apocalyptic 2️⃣ 1993* 3️⃣ Horse & musket 4️⃣ The Iron Kingdoms (2d6 system era) 5️⃣ Anything Redwall-esque (Mouseguard, Bloomburrow, etc.) *Specifically because I have stuff written up using it very specifically, and this is my list dang it.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

The present me that hyperfixates on specific things needs to start doing a better job of leaving clearly labelled instructions and explanations for the future me, returning from other nonsense, who has now forgotten every piece of context

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

If I've said it once I'll say it a thousand times but the Zoomers are God's weakest generation

I too feel nervous that we have not, as a society, done enough to sufficiently comfort men who use homophobic slurs in anger. Truly one of the great at-risk groups.

In a way that undercuts the satirical intention I'm just getting a lot of genuine enjoyment out of how much he loves that prod

People post about cars and driving like they are faced with a binary of either total and permanent ban on leaving your house or living in the engine scarred dunes of the post-apocalyptic gas lands.

(Quoting the good alt text version) Literally the only thing I ever found truly admirable about the USA was having a strong research/science base that other countries couldn't compete with. This decision could not be stinkier, to the extent that every reading just makes me angrier.

"If the emperor truly had no clothes then why would he speak of his new tailor in such glowing terms?"

There aren't many things I'm confident in but one of them is that I have been good at keeping friend groups, in that I still have the same core group of friends together from primary school as well as others I have met since.

I am once again back on my bullshit (working on the half baked miniature wargame I've been tinkering with for so long that the inspirations have lost all cultural resonance)

It's like poetry, it rhymes #AFLEaglesCats #AFLNorthCats

I was looking up some of the Collective Shout mess which led me to Twitter pages of various people running that clown show and holy shit is it a mess over there

Whoever is in charge of video production for Zohran is incredibly good at their job. Every time I see something from him it's just beautifully put together, well-paced, and feels very impressive. Pretty stark comparison to Aus pol equivalents, unfortunately.

Who other than literally everyone aware of this issue and not in a state of denial could have seen this coming

PS5 controllers feel the most apple-like of any devices I own and that is intended in the most derogatory way possible

This is but one of the tiny issues that come up from living in a world with hegemonic US culture but despite looking it up I still don't feel confident enough on the definition of 'shared-use path' to have a take here

I try to be as calm, considerate and understanding as possible in my day to day life and yet if I ever meet the team who designed the new version of outlook would fly into a murderous rage

It's always weird to see the linkedin home page filled with blog posts and clickbait by strange, overly enthusiastic men when the only real purpose for linkedin is the way I use it (looking up footballers to see who made their own profile and who clearly had someone else do it for them)

Working in a grocery store for two years while trying to finish my dissertation taught me that there's no such thing as "unskilled" labor and every job deserves respect.

I've started getting the email that summarises/screenshots notable social media interactions the corporate accounts had the past week. So far my take is that it cannot be responsible to keep open the Twitter account, which seems to almost exclusively get great replacement theory posts from nazis.

Sure it's going to be finishing around 11 but I don't think this game is sufficiently buried. Given the WA timezone I think the AFL could have plunged it down to at least midnight for the Eastern states

BREAKING: Hacked documents illegally obtained by an avowed racist reveal Zohran Mamdani filled out a multiple choice question that didn't capture nuance.

That fourth one is like the dystopian version of a Canberra bus stop

There are a lot of ways that you can (rightfully) dunk on this shit, but what stands out to me is just this expectation that the only time you see LGBTQ+ people is during Pride or other events

There's a best movies of the 21st century meme so here's mine topsters.org to make yours I spent way too long thinking about these (also really wanted O Brother Where Art Thou but the year 2000 was in the 20th C. and not the 21st)

have the people who thought Cuomo would win because "I stand with Israel" was the top issue for NYC Dem primary voters considered that maybe they are trapped in an information bubble by getting their news through a social media platform that isn't representative of reality?

i just wanted to share some of my guitar playing 🥺🥺 #musicsky
