Jake Paul is to sports what Trump and Fuentes are to politics: the avatar of a plurality of male edgelords who sincerely believe that if a white guy is sufficiently macho, mean, and lawless, he can beat/outsmart any professionally trained woman/minority at anything, even with no training of his own.

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

additional followup post!

HERE'S THE BIG REVEAL (put your sound up)

I’ll say this for George W. Bush: he’s an unindicted war criminal who should spend the rest of his life in prison and if he and his co-conspirators had been made to face consequences, Trump never would have happened.

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away

yeah jesus fuck i dont know what im going to do, if anyone can help i'm extremely grateful.

Half of what a lot of hardcore religious types describe as "evil" boils down to just "you're a decent human? you will be damned to hell unless you worship our current revision of a several millennia old book that is constantly revised to fit the agenda of a leading religious group at a given time".

The thing we need to take away from Epstein is that people with more power need to be MORE subject to the law than the average Joe, rather than less. Presidents, billionaires, and cops should go to jail and lose everything for even the APPEARANCE of impropriety of any sort.

I've said it before, but I really can't express to people who came in post-HB s1 what it was like seeing loo loo land for the first time. we knew they were going to do more with stolas than just 'he horny lol' from the instas, but I went in fully expecting crumbs and we got All That Immediately.

Check out this brand new calculator! It’s gonna make mistakes like half the time, so you shouldn’t use it for any math problems requiring accuracy, but unlike your boring old calculator, you can have it pretend to be your sexy anime girlfriend!

“Introducing a brand new edition to a beloved productivity software! … but don’t use it for any actual productivity because it’s gonna fuck up.” SO WHAT THE FUCK IS IT FOR? WHAT TASK IN EXCEL DOESN’T REQUIRE ACCURACY? -.- I feel like the genre of this simulation has shifted to absurdist comedy.

This stupid copilot feature literally messed up a table at work by trying to autocomplete it, so we had to go back to fix it lmao.

Hm dry flammable plant matter that ALSO sweats extremely flammable sticky resin. What I should do is put a lot of extremely hot bulbs on this.

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

stop putting extremely flammable trees in your house you weirdos

Hey this sucks the most shit.

It's not quite a purr, not quite a trill, not quite a meow...

I’ve been reading up on demons and a lot of their descriptions showcase demons as…quite nice? Eligos for example “cause the love of Lords and great persons” How is that evil? Doesn’t make sense.

so yeah I feel Very Normally about the idea of being an object. A toy. Can be a person, or personlike anyway. But A thing, first and foremost. A toy can be enjoyed.

The church has priests molesting kids, but they want you to believe trans people are a threat to your children. The president, and the wealthy political and capital elite molested kids, but they want you to believe trans people are after your kids.

Now you understand my comment in season 1 was a called shot when I said "no one wants to be carried like a sack of potatoes"

Mika couldn't hang on piggy-back style since he's only got one limb working, this way he can kind of cling onto the neck of whomever is carrying him

also: It's roughly past this point that IBO's appearance in SRW 30 happens, where Orga and Mika are isekai'd into another universe that's more UC Gundam and basically, trapped in another universe with no one he knows but Mika, Orga kind of MELTS DOWN

we get fascinating moments of hypothetical co-dependence like Orga insisting on doing every for Mika himself even with several other universes' with of technology available to him he even angrily dismisses offers of a wheelchair

it all makes me particularly fascinated at the idea of a crossover with IBO and G-Witch in a future SRW G-Witch has GUND-ARM Inc developing exactly the sort of accessibility technology a Mika would need but doesn't get in the IBO universe

I have to wonder how many pilots Barbatos used up, consentually but knowingly, during the War, & how that weighs on whatever datageist it is that lives in her systems....

like it'd be one thing if it felt like barbatos was constantly tempting him to more power but he's always the one begging her and she is the one that, 1) broke down on the first launch as lupus so he couldn't chase the fleeing pirates and, 2) refused to go after hashmal for mika's safety!

I'm a little insane about the robots I know but this relationship is so not villainous on the part of barbatos to me it reads so much more like an enabling parent she gives gentle pushback to try and keep mika safe by turning off but then when he begs for more she gives in gives it to him

even though we can see here it is actively harming BOTH of them my darling devil is not inherently evil or really evil at all. she's not the best!!!!!!! but she's not evil

fat t-girl butts

Considering that even the white space has been redacted, I am pretty sure he did not.

I thought I had inspiration for a story, but what’s coming out is a self-pitying autobiography.

More than releasing the Epstein files, we need a rewriting of this power structure that allowed him to exist. We must dismantle this elite who treat stolen girls as just another 'forbidden fruit' luxury good, like cocaine or Cuban cigars, living in a world where rules simply do not apply to them

I don't just want to just bring down Trump or Clinton or Prince Andrew. I want to stop the next Epstein and the next rich #MeToo creep before it even happens. This is about a system where some people have billions of dollars or are well connected and whom the law protects but does not bind.

This is not merely a story about bad men. They are bad men. But the very structure of power makes some people too big to fail. Even feminists organizations shielded Clinton when he was accused of rape. He was too big to fail. Same with Prince Andrew or Jimmy Saville.

The system corrupts, but it also selects. It filters for people comfortable with exploitation, teaching them that abuse is the price of admission to the elite. We have to burn that down

This perfectly sums up why Pedocon theory is so consistently accurate. Pedophilia is considered a sin of the elite, meaning something "wrong" that the elite get a pass on as a privilege of status, and thus use to prove that they are "not a narc" and that they a member of the rich kids club.

You’ve got to be kind. Please be kind. This might be all there is.

Artists be like "this is just a quick sketch sorry it's not very good I'll try harder next time!" and they've posted the furry Mona Lisa. You guys need to give yourselves some credit, Renaissance nobles would be duelling eachother to the death for the right to commission your work.

Bought a plush to commemorate @ripley.bsky.social. Don’t want to forget hir.

i look like this btw. if you care.

More idle Space Trucker TTRPG scribblings, this time about Playbooks. Yup, still got it with moodsetting... >:3

Never stop shaming people about the use of genAI. It's pretty much the best weapon against it other than not using it.

As a long time anime fan the reduction of Miyazaki (lets be honest, that's the only ghibli they mean) to a bucolic and bright colored aesthetic palatable to nerd-as-identity consumerism has always been distasteful and divorces it from the politics omnipresent in the works.
