i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

okay so I just need to memorize this phrase and this phrase only

sourdough bread is about the main thing I find fun to bake in addition to being a way to obtain baked good

I grow more powerful

Knights of Guinevere pilot rocked, excited for a full show, loved how cyberpunk it was. It took me a sec but catching the JJBA reference was funny

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards." www.wired.com/story/uncann...

trust me when I say there are niche communities where the ability to print onto index cards is highly valued related: got a new printer, basic monochrome brother laser, looking forward to not having printer issues anymore (finally done with issues from wife's old college hp inkjet thing)

sad that ikea kallax isn't available as 3x1 configuration in the US

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

I'm so glad we were able to get covid and flu vaccines like 4 week before Big Trip

I may have gotten a bit better at sourdough bread.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

we watched Dofus – Book 1: Julith because I saw some fun looking animation clips some years ago. Gorgeous film, complete plot, and no apparent sequel plans. Really great french animation.

“leftists have an infighting problem” buddy you should see what they’re doin to each other on the far right

I'm so happy for her and so excited for this show. Really bringing that "fuck disney" energy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm6t...

hmm

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

sometime I see larp server discord discussions that make me want to see a larp convention that doesn't allow people with heavy social anxiety. maybe make people pick up a phone as a condition of getting their badge or something.

so I can't complain against this current thing, because it's the earlier response that should have been more like the latter, but seeing someone who had insisted on high standards of politeness in response to conservative shit be quite snarky in response to someone being wrong about genre...

my phone can't capture it well but the moon is a really striking shade of orange tonight

current creative project: make a 2 hour edm mix to play at a larping convention

That Ritchie Torres interview in the Adam Friedland Show is insane… Zionist dems are fucking sociopaths.

the homestuck discord is like trying to drink from a firehose

been getting back into Half-Life: Alyx lately. kind of wish the Index was OLED for the many darker sections but regardless VR sure is immersive (even though I wish there were good solutions to have the ability to actually walk around)

the new Panty and Stocking music is so good

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Zucchini 2

first successful zucchini!

the amount of goths in this mall for the MCR concert... nature is healing

any online space stop spreading misinformation challenge

thinking about the time someone who uncritically uses generative ai tried to talk about how they believe in the conservative position of "too much social change too fast is always bad for some reason". no awareness

Quadrilateral Cowboy: cute (pos) game In terms of gameplay I think the first and last thirds are the strongest. The first third is quick and fun introductions, the second has some levels that feel too long for how easy they are, the third required enough thought and iteration to be more interesting.

getting some mead going for the first time in a while

put the new ones up
