who needs complex self consistent magic systems and elaborate court politics when you can simply have the byzantine intrigue of the Seattle Mariners actually playing good enough to get into the playoffs?

historically there have been more famous male artists than female artists. this can only be innate and that's why we need to divide all art spaces into chromosomally separated "high art" and "also pretty good art". no the latter will not be receiving the same amount of funding what are you a commie?

being a big name poster here requires being both belligerently stupid, and monomaniacally devoted to posting through it, and I think that's why so many bnps here and twitter haaated both mastodon and cohost, which were structured to not algorithmically reward shitheaded dynamics

anyway enough with all that, the Mariners just won the series against the Astros and Cal Raleigh has more home runs in a season than any catcher, any switch hitter, and any prior Mariner

I immediately got banned from tumblr back in the day for posting Courbet's L'origine du monde in response to the porn ban. Labeling art as degenerate is anti-intellectual and anti-human - fuck you for capitulating in advance, Capital dick suckers.

bluesky is decentralized in the way that you can write as many letters as you want, but there's one postal service, there will likely structurally only ever BE one postal service, and they might decide you can't send mail if you draw the wrong type of cartoon porn or are a mouthy trans woman.

This is how local TV ownership breaks down in Seattle: KIRO: Paramount/CBS (Canceled Colbert) KOMO: Sinclair (Cut off Kimmel AND demands he donate to Charlie Kirk's family & co.) KING 5: Tegna which Nexstar wants to buy pending FCC approval. (Cut off Kimmel) Fox 13: Fox (was Nexstar until 2019!)

The protagonists of anime My Dress Up Darling occupy a kinder world, more free to explore their identities and passions. Our world has more dangers, but have we given up on treating causes of harm when kids have latitude to express themselves, in favor of treating the symptoms with crude amputation?

was so upset about all the jokes and celebrating over the past week, seeing as it was the first time in months where the average engagement has gone UP instead of slowly grinding down towards the site's inevitable death. more events like this might be their only chance!

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

Brazil. our universal healthcare system treats nationals, immigrants, and refugees equally (for free). many cities offer free hrt to residents. transphobia is illegal under the law, encompassing all the same protections as racism

I'm sorry but I still think encouraging trans people to flee the united states is unbelievably irresponsible and I'll hold to that unless you can point to specific countries that have better legal protections and informed consent care *for immigrants* than a city like Seattle Washington

god damn there's a lot of anime and wouldn't you know most of it's rubbish. I watched at least the first couple of episodes of many shows, though, and lucky for you I even wrote reviews afterward. in this batch: Clevatess, Gachiakuta, My Dress Up Darling, and The Summer Hikaru Died

I think if you're serious about covering indie games or comics or cinema you have a moral, professional, and aesthetic duty to cover porn as part of your beat if you're not talking about indie porn you're not talking about indie.
