It's so funny that the left gets tarred with "obsessed with identity" when in 2026 the modal conservative influencer is a cocktail away from posting "I am tired of pretending Sicilians are white."

oh my god lmao

tzadkiel: pull that ho over, that bitch got to get a ticket

if anyone says pathfinder in the replies here i’ll burn down your house

Psycho Manties, also known as Testes Reebok,

this is in fact the plot of the 2012 anime Jormungand

where i come down on this, and basically the only reason i have any sympathy for the attitude being expressed two QRTs deep, is that for the most part what people are really complaining about is not having time for their hobbies. which is true, and mostly not their own fault.

I'm so used to feeling like a kid explaining pokemon to adults that I was really taken aback by explaining what I do for work to my psychiatrist with my usual kid gloves of having to delicately explain what Lancer was and he was like "Oh yeah, I played Armored Core on the PS1"

by far the most enthusiastic student of military history i've ever met was a trans woman. admittedly, she was also a turbo-conservative orthodox trad (try and square that circle) and was largely in it so she could LARP with real halberds, but still

i'm not gonna pick a fight with the actual post i saw but nah, the spiritual pursuit of ego-death and fascist ideas about struggle and self-mortification are completely compatible, actually the reason you should be more or less okay with eventually dying is because it's good to share, nothing more

Im in a problematic age gap relationship where we're both 36 years old but she watches The Amazing Digital Circus

this is why your fucking religion has a prohibition against fortune telling and necromancy, idiots

Fascinating new study showing that HRT in trans people (both e and t) reduces use of mental health care. This is a massive study with over 30K participants. YES HRT IMPROVES MENTAL HEALTH!

First trailer of "Junk World", the new indie stop-motion feature by Takahide Hori, set in the same universe as his previous film "Junk Head". In Japanese theaters on June 13. junkworld-movie.com

Late night etymology: In early Rome there was a god named Fascinus who was a flying dildo with legs. Amulets with that image were called fascinium, and gradually fascinō came to mean “bewitch.” Over the years through Latin and Castilian fascinātus came to mean “fascinating” as we say it today.

just had a moment where i realized how much of my job IS filling out forms in triplicate in exactly the sense of the literary cliche about bureaucracy

This is the wrong approach. Ebooks are great, and with calibre plus plug-ins it has been very easy for years to download, manage, De-DRM and convert .azw files. It's not about digital vs. physical.

i would say "cj cherryh predicted weeaboos" but nah it's actually just that Divergence was written in 2017

Seems like a pretty important result; title says it all. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

it's true, this is exactly what my life is like one time the snakes had the boobs and the woman was trying to bite me, that was a strange day

It’ll be fine. Anything that strips global hegemonic power away from the US is a positive. Iran has repeatedly demonstrated themselves to be a far more rational actor on the global stage than the US at this point.

dad: so whats the deal with the war me: *speaks for 5 min* dad: wow that is an impressive analysis me: thanks I took it from a person I follow online who is a subject matter expert dad: oh whats their name me: They are a cartoon dog wearing underwear as a face mask called Piss Prevail On Earth

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’ https://theonion.com/chuck-schumer-the-american-people-deserve-a-president-1835697625/

still kind of horrifying because even when randos on the internet DO have a graduate-level understanding of some field the very nature of social media cuts against specificity, caution, collegial corrections, etc. but the more fucked institutional communication gets the closer it gets to a net good

i will say the way people read and engage with stuff online nowadays though is a little unhinged man, i remember when we released a 100+ page lancer setting book and literally about two weeks later people were yapping about the lack of content for the game lol

updating consistently and healthily is better for me than dying at 50 of burnout stress though so sorry rip bozo to the weekly readers

not only is this fine it's better than the alternative people have made very strenuous cases to me for the value of weekly updates both for business reasons and for the sake of communal reading. they're out of their goddamn minds. you want communal discussion get a book club when it's done

jesus christ Jam he's a married man, tone it down a notch

one of the underrated things about 4E is that per-character charop has severe diminishing returns most of the time but party optimization pays absolutely insane divideds, almost to the opposite excess of making the game too easy if people REALLY work together

at one strange and embarrassing time in my life i was seriously considering conversion, and ultimately didn't because even were i on board with the theology i couldn't in good faith (heh) accept the moral authority of the Catholic Church -- difference being i understood that to be a dealbreaker lol

there ARE reasons that political resistance in the US is particularly difficult or disorganized but also honestly this place is just bad for your soul. you see it in the way people think about their neighbors, let alone someone halfway across the world.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

I may never know who the original artist is. but one day a cheeky historian or museum curator will be absolutely correct to use this image to capture our particular political moment.

oh my god lol

was just explaining to @somarysueme.bsky.social that calls for JD vance to be excommunicated are mostly protestants not understanding how catholic excommunication works, but honestly "the pentagon makes an antipope" is like the ONE THING that could potentially make that happen

today my incestuous devil-worshiping king murdered his own spymaster, attempted to intimidate the pope, and built a new castle in his capital city. then i went home and played Crusader Kings 2

Hellsing was too subtle

finding a captive audience who will eat up your slop because nobody else is catering to their interests isn't a desirable thing in the first place, but it's even funnier when the marketing psychos responsible start asking "okay how we can do that, but for a hegemonic majority"

i haven't lived with cats for a good 3-4 years now and i still instinctively step-dodge in a way calculated not to kick or step with my full weight on a cat every time i brush against a surface by accident

the bit about how "china would not be a better partner" why wouldn't they. take morality completely out of the question, keeping in mind both USA and China have plenty of sins to their name. china isn't causing international incidents all the time and telling everyone else to suck it up.

"it is impossible for us to not be pieces of shit without a national enemy" it's so funny, it's just. we need china to fist shake as an enemy because we will not stop sucking ass without it. "listen you're totally evil but also we need you to point out how much we suck shit so we stop sucking shit"

The one big name in tech who actually mastered computer science fucking killed himself

loving posts from american politicians like so the deal has no regime change? and we give up all our shit to them?? yes that tends to be what happens when you lose a war really badly

lmao look at this baby-brained shit. it's not a good-faith reading of Fanon to begin with (he describes these things as inevitable, not glorious) and once you strip that away the basic complaint here is "how dare he observe that insurgency works"
