I harp on this a lot but it's so fucking bleakly funny that by any metric you can imagine there's just no way Cuba is objectively doing that much fucking bad! Most of all if you are coming at this from America and Great Britain! That makes you look positively fucking insane!

Is Herr Starr the single funniest character in the history of comics? Objectively yes.

Not for nothing but "acting like a young actress has never endured weird and awful shit due to being famous" is low key insane.

I legitimately can't stand when people are like "I want more slice-of-life stuff!" because every single waking moment of my existence is "slice-of-life" This is frankly why those literary books people whine about have plots like "Professor has an affair" it's a fucking experience!

I rarely share my educational background in early modern religious history because most people online tend to get bored when I'm like "Actually Calvinism's development in America is more complicated than you'd expect..." But for the record I find this shit fascinating.

Its time #Skystorians! We're here with @andrewhartman.bsky.social to talk about and answer all your questions on Karl Marx and America! Don't miss out on this incredible thread! www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Audrey's so cool and not much else I love more than Bathory types...

Look my general apathy towards a lot of spirituality is based a lot less on personal trauma and more of just "I don't want to hear about somebody's random opinions on metaphysics and the conversation is almost always going to get weird."

servers are slammed rn which makes sense cuz it's launch day and it's early on the west coast (where the servers are) but they're doing staged rollout so keep queuing and have faith!! 🙏🕊️

Hell yeah I love Orhan and murderous menageries just about equally

This is one of my favorite ongoing series online.

I'VE REACHED THE PEAK OF BOOK ADVERTISING!🤣💀 books2read.com/MatthewKing

Again biased as hell here but I also think this is the good shit.

Woodward: (crashing through the door, reading frantically off printer paper) Carl, Greta Thunberg just posted a photograph of herself on Instagram sitting next to a stuffed octopus Bernstein: (taking feet off desk, putting down coffee cup) My god

"Actually you don't need to be edgy or dark or adult to be complex" Serious question here! What do you define as actually COMPLEX? Like more than anything else I always feel that answer is going to be I dunno "Uhhh Avatar The Last Airbender says a lot" and I will have to go "Not really"

Honestly whenever this shit gets on my feed I have to fucking groan! I know a few of my mutuals get into the weeds with this stuff because they've been online for too long and got into an argument with the dumbest libertarian. But also this never sounds sincere! It does sound like severe cope!

my draft answer to any boomer or older who asks about groypers is probly something like "theyre what the media said the columbine shooters, who werent that, were"

Salute the Four Quarters Before I leave your eyes Twinned in the mirror Les Mesteres come End me adoration Before I leave your eyes World in the mirror Waters of amnesia come

Trouble is such a good fucking band

This picture is from the old Enchanted World: Ghosts book. One of my single favorite spooky pictures ever and if somebody could point me to the artist I'd be so grateful! It's a picture I've been spooked by and adored since I was a kid.

I love her so fucking much

I've said this many times before but allowing reactionaries to co-opt atheism was always a really bad move! I also don't even think it's a negative for the faithful! I very much think sometimes somebody making you feel weird over beliefs is pretty useful! You don't want to act weird here!

Hehehehehehe a real fave game for teenage Lauren....

Wraith: The Oblivion rocks so much and I'd dare say it may now be number two in my World of Darkness gamelines. Which means it's in running as "one of my favorite TTRPGS ever" Doomslayers: Into the Labyrinth a big part of that! My first RPG experience with true dungeon crawling.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Other people have added to this but whenever I see somebody actually complaining about the classics they're going to soon add "Now buy my book...." And it's never not absolute fucking dogshit.

I love Death Angel so much and will argue and fight for Act III as one of the great thrash albums.

LOL Kirksey Nix vindicated

Real suspicious that anybody who tries to sincerely make a case for "hopepunk" isn't also a woke Marxist-Leninist.

"There's so much about RFK Jr. to laugh at you don't need to make fun of his voice or the way he looks! Your disabled friends can hear you" Look I'm sorry anybody that's hurt by this. But there is no fucking way to bring up RFK Jr. without bringing these things up a bit.

Big fan of the inspirations listed here I would like more stuff in general that sounds like Thief crossed with Angel Heart.

LOL the funniest bit for me was the whole "We're getting to the point where we can't tell the difference between AI and real art" and I firmly believe you have to be dogshit stupid to say that to other people.

One of the only actually cool guys ever

"The Wheel of Time is actually a very good series" LOL no it isn't! That's a fucking lie! You just happened to be a certain age in the very early 90s and this is the only big fantasy book you had!

I don't know what exactly happened with James Gunn over the past ten years that shot him up from "I'm dubious about what he's bringing here" to "Currently one of my favorite mainstream creatives working" but it happened and I'm legitimately kinda shocked about it.

In general I think there's this really precious and kinda naïve idea about historical, political, and media literacy being a general cure for reactionary political thought that I don't think holds up to any objective scrutiny.

Montreal by Night theme music

I don't like the term "Flanderization" because it suggests that Ned Flanders isn't generally written to be the most annoying motherfucker that's ever existed.

I don’t 100% align with jack skellingtons brand of Halloween libertarianism but right now it’s just important to build coalitions. We can sort out our differences after the revolution

Even without the magic ticket I just assume Jack Slater IV would be a great movie.

"So really how does this help the Basque separatists?"

If you are opposed to draconian reprisals against reactionaries I'm unsure if you are engaging with the situation as seriously as you should.

A lot of the responses to this are also going "Okay but can other Democrats at least copy what his social media team is doing?" And buddy I don't find anything impressive about what his social media team is doing! Like even if I liked the guy I'd be going "Jesus fucking Christ this is pathetic"

Hi friends. I caught up with Laird's partner, Jessica M today and received permission to share this. As some of you may know, Laird is in need of a new kidney. The appropriate donor would have O blood type. If you or anyone you know may be a willing match & donor, please reach out to me.

You know it's okay to listen to the songs from Kpop Demon Hunters right? It's a fun movie and the soundtrack is great! You aren't getting any points for going "I'm listening to some metal covers of the songs" which 100% sound fucking awful.

Not a good sign that I can't play certain clans straight out of the box! If they happened to truly BE BRAVE the DLC clans would be all the cool Bloodlines lamebrains are too cowardly to play. Gimme the Baali option.

Absolutely blocking any dipshit posting those Gavin Newsom AI images. Fuck off! You aren't doing shit! Half some self-respect!

Honestly just don't be Bill Maher! That's like all you have to do! "I will not act like Bill Maher" and you'll be fine! Atheism is a perfectly fine(and VERY HEALTHY) way of looking at the universe and I think it's good to go "LOL your metaphysics are fucked bro"

Real basic question for some of my mutuals here: Like any good dork online I'm a BIG FAN of classic Hong Kong action cinema. But every now and then I see a few people sharing some early 90s Japanese action film clips and I admit that's huge blindspot for me. Would love some good recommendations!
