In the context of Mark Hamill mentioning that the anti-fascist thing is going on in real life now, some dude opines: "Yeah, but we don't have Andor or Leia." My dude goes:

I'm not saying I'm not ready to do everything I can. But if in the end #GenZ is as instrumental in settling all this f*scist bullsh*t as I think they will be, I am 100% requiring everyone to acknowledge that they have taken up the mantle of the Greatest Generation.

Antifa Black + eyeliner = Shroud Boys. Somebody's going to have to teach me eyeliner tho'.

Question re: settings in #TTRPG and #Magic. Is magic characteristically or inherently prone to veneration of the past? Is there a compelling & popular narrative that informs a kind of magic that doesn't rely on "ancient" if not "lost" knowledge etc?

Well before I suspected it was specifically Christian or that Christianity was such an ethical dead end, I never trusted the idea of obligatory (or magical) forgiveness. In fact it profoundly offended me.

A #Mage:TheAscension supplement we will never see.

"Criminals do not obey laws." I bet they drive on the correct side of the road. I bet they break fewer laws than the subset that is: the GOP administration. Such a chump-ass thing to say. It's not the ink on paper, it's the enforcement. GTFO with your testerical tautology.

My confidence is very high that sexualizing (as distinct from merely portraying) a thing ("even in fiction") makes an audience actually more prone to both accept, and to do, it. Censoring sexualized NC should be considered normal and responsible.

Conservative White Christians are the real Christians. Everybody throwing nonchristians under the bus with their defenses of Christianity disguised as ridicule of conservative white christians for "not being the real christians" is welcome to choke on that fact.

If your spouse started complaining one day about pain in the lower right abdomen, would your approach to it be to tell your spouse, "Don't worry, I'll handle it," and then send your doctor an email that read: "Hey doc, the wife is having GI issues. Can you please get it fixed ASAP?"

I can't possibly be the first to notice this, but America is stuck caring for the grandfather everyone always hated, and now is deep in dementia.

My Werewolf: the Apocalypse tribe novels -- Bone Gnawers and Stargazers -- from many years ago are now available again in ebook form (print and audio books coming soon). Get 'em -- don't let the Wyrm win! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

So Kimmel is getting his show back. TBH I didn't care about him per se. Not much of a fan. But licking the boot? Being on the receiving end of crapping on free speech? How is Disney making amends for THAT?

Just to make sure the new cultural developments are visible everywhere: KISSING THE APPLE LORD #kissingAppleLord Loosely defined contest of skill akin to bobbing for apples; for bragging rights. The goal is to take a bite from an apple still on a tree in the orchard, without using your hands.

I love Ursula LeGuin and Tony Gilroy. And loathe JK Rowling and Ayn Rand. It's true that fiction runs the risk of setting up and affirming a nonsense point of view. But the alternative to that is not a history book. With all due respect to histor(iograph)y and books, which I love, to say that...

If you have to quote Pi to an alien to prove you do math, give it in binary: 11.00100100001111110111

People who look like me. Please think it through three times before you express your credulity that anything like this could happen, in America, or be done by Christians, or by Republicans who proverbially accuse others of what they're already doing. Before you beg to go back to how things were.

Correct. Euthanasia is a thing a patient requests. What he advocated with his whole throat was huge scale mass murder. If only there were a word for mass scale murder like that.

The Nazis were socialists and the groypers are antifa in the same sense that Greenland is greener than Iceland.

In the process of suggesting adding an enclitic -que to a simple phrase in Latin a friend was constructing, I just FINally learned the -ne and -ve suffixes. It's almost enough to make me want to go back to learning Latin. Hic haec hocve!

New Contest. Finish the sentence, "The Right was going to finally go back to being reasonable until you....."

Why we should ROUNDLY reject calls to “tone down” rhetoric, from the right. They want to silence dissent and resistance, while they carry on fomenting violence. FUUUUUUUCCKK THAT!! If they want to tone down the heat, they can start with THEMSELVES first!

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

At some point, the white community is going to have to do something about the high rates of crime in white neighborhoods.

There is no sense in which disavowing the things reasonable, civilized people would disavow in a heartbeat, will make one iota of difference to these fascist fucks.

Also it occurs to me that Peake's #Gormenghast fits on Chandrilla perfectly. Not to mention Ghor. I wonder if Gilroy is a fan.

Syril Karn s2e2 #Andor pep taking the new hire at the bureau of standards. There is a kind of cutting hilarity that only the right actor with the right build up can deliver. Legend!

I have a #FATERPG confession. I have never written a really good trouble. How hard is it to write down e.g. "Hot-Headed Idiot" or w/e?

I practice poli-amory, in that I married a Polish-American lady. Or should it be polskiamory?

Much is being made lately of who the " #FakeChristians " are. When you look at rate of weekly church attendance by state and the likelihood of that state sending electoral votes to the Dem candidate for president in the last five elections, the correlation is -0.68

If you have used the phrase #fakeChristian unironically, you were defending an ancient, deceitful, amoral institution at the expense of the human beings who need you to stand up for them.

Jez and Brasso and B2Emo are what I want solidarity to look like.

I love Una and Pike sniping at each other.

The Obligations of Communication. 0) Think through what you know about what the other person knows first. 1) Say what you mean specifically. 2) Assume what other people say is what they mean. 3) Check for meaning as you go. 4) Acknowledge responsibility for #1 if you erred, by correcting.

This is me on substack. Where I try to hash out everything I want to say in a tolerably disciplined (if not enjoyable) way, one subject at a time.

If you buy quantity X of cinnamon candied pecans on an empty stomach, you have utterly committed to eating quantity X of them.
