The premise of the Reichstag Fire is to orchestrate a crisis that gives a public perception justification to do what you always wanted to do. To convince the public the extra security is necessary. Graham demanding $400m taxpayer $ for a ballroom 48 hrs after a crisis was staged is peak Nazi.

future generations will look upon gen x'ers for banning cloves the same way all of us look at boomers for banning qualuudes

a reminder that wholesale copying artistic photography for a painting is often still plagiarism, even though it’s two different mediums

Y’all I gotta teach my fiancée how to two-step

I am so old I forgot we got a buncha kids who have never been to a con & might not know about con drop. Y’all please drink tons of extra water (or gatorade), grab some comfort shows/books/manga, a snuggly pet (or partner), cheese or chocolate if you feel the craving, and get lots of extra sleep.

We’re about to leave @requiemcafe.bsky.social but when we ordered earlier the guy called the Fat Cat drink “Fatty Catty” and I’ve had that scene from the beginning of that one episode of American Horror Story stuck in my head ever since.

Oh god that line was bonkers but were inside now

zenos viator galvus, remembered by all for his long hair and fat fucking ass

Me and @feral-bean.bsky.social are headed to @requiemcafe.bsky.social for a bit! He’s still got most of the stickers he made! Sorry I left the hat and boots at the hotel, I wanted my actual fave hat back from him XD

Fanfest is so great because you get conversations like "Garleans are so funny with their naming conventions. Like, haha the iron womb, the clyt--" "Wait." "Varis was the iron womb" "Which means the Clyteum is probably--" "Oh." "OH MY GOD"

Seeing a lot of hate for Koji on the timeline right now. For anyone who didn't watch the panel: He was very open that he was forced into including AI by the SE president. Your hate should be directed at the suits, and not Koji himself.

Theres been a lot of interest so I'm considering a second print of the zine for shipping+$1 for printing costs...! Let me know if you'd be interested so I can see if it's feasible (I'm very bad with post office things so I'd need to get a friend to help me out lmfao)

dawntrail has a lot of little asides where characters are like warrior we know you could but please dont try to turn these guys into a fine red mist like we know you want to. which is really another tally in the "meteor misses zenos so bad he could puke" box

The idea that the WoL is a god killing invasive species is funnier if you play as a Miqo'te or Hrothgar. Like yes, my cat roams outdoors and sometimes brings me dead Gods as a gift and likely fucked up the local ecosystem

Dancing green's first apartment

Kefka Ultimate being abbreviated to UMAD is god-tier funny and in-character for Kefka

my first thought

Q: butt slider? A: In short, they honestly considered it, but now they've done the graphics update he will at least take it back to the team. Yoshida asks, but what if your butt clips through your sword or your cape. "I'm dying." He will discuss it with his team once again.

LONG LIVE THE ERA OF DRAGOON AURA

We’re parked at waiting for the keynote but we got a bunch of stickers to give out and trade!

Me and @feral-bean.bsky.social outside #Fanfest

Psst, hey kid, wanna see some good news?

Its a stage name. Y'all really think a Dotharli woman named her son "Junkdog"?

A huge thank you to our cosplay participants for #FFXIVEmblem !!! The whole show was so impressive, and we're so thankful that you guys had fun with it! ;v;

protect the trans women in your community, end of story

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

Finding out Helen Keller was a socialist—and reading about it in her words—was big for me. I think people hesitant to embrace socialism should start with her. jacobin.com/2020/11/hele...

I need every single person who runs a discord, game server, community, whatever etc; this is so fucking essential to keeping the peace. If someone sucks, just kick them! If they make weird comments or have bad vibes, boot em! You have zero obligation, bureaucracy helps no one, go with your gut

They already have a Firefly animated series, it's called Outlaw Star and it's so much better.

🧵we've summoned some fantastic artists for #FFXIVEmblem! help us reach our goal of raising $300 for STAND WITH MINNESOTA to get a chance to win some incredible art! to participate, check out the original thread! in the meantime, let's meet our heroes! ↓

In Okinawan dialect, the Hibiscus tiliaceus (sea hibiscus) is called Yuuna; this is where our summoner gets her name from! 🌺 The flower meaning is 楽しい思い出 (tanoshii omoide = happy memories) ...which makes you cry buckets considering the ending words of FFX. #FFX #finalfantasy

Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...

I just got laid off for being trans. I have NO other income. I cannot afford ANYTHING. I need to make sure my bills are paid and my cats are fed. If you like my mods, please support me. If you like art, please commission me. I need to make it until im hired. kofi vgen

ANUBIS: (presses button with paw) [guilty] OSIRIS: im sorry he does this when he's hungry ANUBIS: (button) [guilty] [bad] [food] OSIRIS: you already ate ANUBIS: (button) [bad] [bad] [bad] OSIRIS: he's right though we weighed your heart against the feather and its not looking good

i think this is one of the most load bearing posts of the modern internet and everyone who needs to hear it won't listen

the warrior of light struggling to get y'nazqha to stop eating rocks off the side of the road

Picard: It's a computer simulation of thoroughbred horse racing called Umamusume Pretty Derby. The program was quite popular in the 21st century. Riker: Mm. 'Pretty' is accurate. That Goldship is quite something. Picard: I hadn't noticed. I enjoy the simulation's tactical qualities. Riker: Yes, sir.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore. If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.
