Is it bad that my brain is adding a moaning sound effect? Oh, yeah the moan’s in a Vermont accent don’t worry …what’s a Vermont-accented moan sound like? Find the midpoint between rusty brakes and a drunk, rutting bull moose and you’re close enough

"Books, For Men™ are sort of like YouTube videos, but without the visuals, and then written down."

Gods, give us five Ser Duncan the Talls and we’d have all the temples of depravity in this world razed to ash, all slavers buried and all those in bondage made free before the moon swung itself back round to ask what the fuck was all the racket This show is fantastic 🤩

Every time I get a chance to explain my video game idea to anyone I always get the weirdest looks It’s almost like no one wants to play a low-spec anticapitalist eldritch horror lawn mowing business simulator with just a smidge of (mostly) child labor

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Genuinely wondering how many actual New Englanders are still routing for the Pats Like I’m sure it’s still a lot, but is it an ‘01-‘02 season lot or…?

I have seen Send Help and I am happy to report that Sam Raimi still knows how to make some top-shelf shlockstick

God I love this man so much

This guy. Unflappable. Flapless. Ain’t got no flap. Flap-deficient. In medical terms: flappenia De-normalize: Politicians you want to have a beer with 👎 Normalize: Politicians you’d allow to be your kids’ substitute teacher for a day 👍

Honestly wondering if the “danger to national security” here is really “this could be the last straw for just enough generals & joint chiefs to get us panicking”

Big part of me wants to rage every time someone on here condescendingly posts about being “proud of all these teenagers protesting” as if every one of them hasn’t been forced to fucking scream their right to live into existence on a regular basis for the last decade

Syl & I were playing with my old train sets (made circa 1990) earlier and YO OK WUT 😳🤣🤣🤣

Feels like a weirdass thing to be rec’ing a book rn but if anyone hasn’t read Amanda Montell’s “Cultish” it does an excellent job of explaining why none of this about-facing is at all new. In a better world it’d be required reading for high schoolers

Shotguns for the Storytellers A poem for all victims of secret police.

Genuinely curious when NYT last reported on a general strike of this magnitude in the US

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops of Montpelier until Scott and the state house take notice and at least ACKNOWLEDGE the problem. Teachers & districts need to stop getting blamed for shit the fucking pay-up-or-die corpos are doing

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

From trump’s conversation with Rutte today: (no I don’t actually think this, it’s just shit that writes itself)

The Rip was good. Bones of something at Die Hard’s level in the script. First 2/3 of it is a decent anti-cop cop movie. Big reveal was well executed Everything after that was just kinda meh tho. Big flashy set pieces and not a lot that ain’t been done before. But hey, not bad for Netflix

Been building my world for 15 years and I’ll prob put in at least 15 more before it’s done with me, but it will be *mine*

Syl is on the monitor struggling to sleep and keeps mumbling “Papa, uppies” as she cuddles her stuffed kitty and I’m dying inside 😭

The absolute accuracy of this.

They only want Greenland because once the ice is gone, they can send their tankers and warships thru the Arctic Not only are the ultrarich looking to profit from the climate change they pay fake journalists to deny, now they’re back to Northwest Passage levels of hubris and lunacy

As one reads, one might hear a tenor choir rising in the background, humming with the knowledge of a predestined grief From that rough hum, flowering like an orchid fragile and resplendent, the cherubic softness of a child’s voice sings out: 🎵Are weeee the baaaaddiessss???🎶

Why are we calling it “AI psychosis” and “chatbot psychosis” when “cyberpsychosis” is literally right tf there? Anyway I’m rewatching Edgerunners

It is entirely possible that to successfully return the eldritch monstrosity of fascism to its eternal slumber beneath the bomb-raked bunkers of R’lyeh, a small-to-medium number of innocent businessfolk may need to file insurance claims

Uruguay continuing to be one of the dopest countries in the Western hemisphere wothout hardly making any fuss about it If we ever feel we need to leave, chances are the note we leave behind will just say “See you in Montevideo”

Decided to change my name/pfp to one of my characters cuz…yeah Seemed fitting that one of his defining features is that the reader never learns his real name That and he’s a self-righteous asshat who tries to do the right thing but usually ends up making shit worse. So basically a lefty white guy

Here is a thread about a true police-shooting incident that I'm going to use to pose a fun little thought problem for anyone anywhere who think there ia a single justifiable reason to ever allow a law enforcement officer to use force on a citizen and remain anonymous. From my back pages:

Despair is not an option

People are going to keep putting their bodies on the line in the face of belligerent fascists because human life is real and human suffering is real and states are fairy tale gobbledygook that only matter when humans allow them to matter And for the courageous, that truth is self-evident

Liberals: “This isn’t America! This isn’t our country! This isn’t who we are!” Anarchists/leftists/literally anyone with a better grasp on US history than a 13yr old or was alive in 2003:

Sure as shit’s starting to look like Maduro’s deputies sold him out to trump for…something. And now trump’s altering the deal and deciding to just take the whole country These guys srsly never watched Empire Strikes Back? This is 8th grade shit y’all, c’mon

worth a repost i guess
