does the eagle know its role in Prometheus's punishment or is it just showing up every day like "holy shit, free liver AGAIN??"

I am honestly disturbed by the swiftness with which "trans healthcare not available to anyone under 19" is going from being regarded, rightly, as collaboration with trans genocide and a fascist federal government to "the best we can expect" even among those who damn well know better...

Like, beyond the obvious “you’re learning how to learn” stuff (which is true! There’s just more!), taking a challenging course shores up your distress tolerance and your discipline! Because frequently in life you have to work very hard on stuff you don’t want to do! An adult person skill!

TL;DR, being able to be like “Wow this task sucks” without giving up or falling apart is kind of an important life skill.

plato's cave: the video game

Kinda bothered that the Looney Tunes ending “That’s all folks” has no comma. Feels like the end of Soylent Green.

One of the artifacts found at Gabii, the site I'm digging right now, is a lead coffin that folded under the pressure of the dirt. It is referred to as "the lead burrito," even by the professional archaeologists here.

genuinely how the hell do Italians survive eating at 8:00 p.m. I am so hungry and dinner won't be ready for another hour

RHETORIC - You -- against the atom, the charm and the spin. Where the whole world failed -- matter failed to bend to human will; human will failed to get out of bed and tie its laces -- you alone, single-handedly, will rebuild the dreams of the working class. You are The Last Communist.

Hey btw if you followed me recently you have an ethical and moral obligation to follow my girlfriend, whom I am a close collaborator with. We write stuff together and they do Really Good Art

guy: was kinda hoping that you'd be doing crazy fantasy stuff to get my energy succubus giving handjob with one hand and playing candy crush with the other: nah that'd be inefficient as hell. spend way more energy than what i get. guy: but if it wasn't? succubus: messing up my combos here, man.

Premiere Smith’s illegitimate attempt to end run the system after the system failed to produce her desired chaos is a master class in ratfucking. Here’s how the question is structured: Should Alberta stay in Canada? Yes - Alberta should leave No - Alberta should stay

on writing villains

Now that The Backrooms is a success, it's time for Hollywood to tackle that other masterpiece about a family home transformed into a labyrinth of liminal spaces. That's right, I'm talking about that literary classic: Groverhaus

Italian espresso hits I got maybe 5-6 hours of sleep but I am Fully Awake

my closing remark

profound questions asked by deliriously tired serena

liquid oxygen looks fake as fuck what do you mean if you cool down air enough it looks like gatorade

mech pilot who does the whole "I get so fucking horny when I shoot someone through the cockpit I am a dog who must be chained and loosed when Havoc is cried" thing but is also the ONLY person in her unit who does that, so everyone else is just constantly like

can I get a Hell Yeah in the chat

fascinated by romes public water fountains.....

Oh hey look at that I have a short story actually out: The Invisible Hand, an urban-fantasy story following the misdeeds of a man who stumbles his way into bringing magic back to the financial markets. Up on itch now :D sjklapecki.itch.io/the-invisibl...

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

me and my gf watched the first season of Black Sails (good lord that show is awful) and since its a prequel to Treasure Island, we've decided that our palate cleanser is Muppet Treasure Island

how it feels to text your homie an .epub

This is real btw

Imagine dying cold and alone in the Swiss alps and having to watch your body get used to make bread like some sort of twisted fairy tale, likely, you heard the proto-pre-pre-pre-version of as a kid God I love archaeologists, this is up there with one of my bosses destroying child teeth for work

I feel so sorry for Ötzi/Oetzi. First lost in the Alps, then an arrow in the back kills him, then he's falls into a gully alone, buried under snow, and lays for 5.3 k years. Global warming happens. Then! he's made into sourdough bread. Apparently beer is on tap next. He's the tap. 😞

Happy pride

To the grub I saw crawling along the parking lot: I wonder if you could even register me walking beside you as you wriggled across an alien landscape so mundane to me. I wonder what happens in your little life that would be as bizarre to me as the asphalt is to you? also. gg for getting across

Rest In Peace, John Blanche.
