Here's a thread on misidentified firearms in Westerns. What do I mean by that? Read on...

swanboy.com The chair is really hitting me hard in the "sadistic goblin torturing dwarves to death" part of the brain.

Biased again here because it IS my bestie But also a great podcast anyway.

Happy pride to all the gay and trans people fighting for socialist liberation. Abolishing private property is essential for the liberation of all queer people.

Gonna be mean here too: I also eventually hate this discourse popping up because people start getting the characteristics online of "nervous sweaty guy determined to prove he's not a rat to the feds" as the conversation goes on. Relax! I also enjoy reactionary media! It's fine!

⚔️My talk plus Q&A on Sword & Sorcery is at 1pm today, and I am hyped! Click below for further details.🧙‍♀️

So far the book of the year for me

Holy - and I cannot stress this enough - shit!

I don't really know how to say this better than "I like seeing this stuff it makes me feel really good"

Pessoal, para quem entende inglês, saiu o primeiro episódio roteirizado por mim de Super Structure With Julian Feeld. Está divertidíssimo(graças ao Julian e ao Jon Gabrus) e bem informativo, porque modéstia à parte, eu pesquisei pacas nesse sobre Honduras e o Hondurasgate. Espero que gostem!

Oh hey cool girl alert

There was a time when we used to do Booty Had Me Like posts. A more innocent age, and one that feels very far gone.

I recently saw an image on tumblr that shipped Katy O'Brian's character from the last Mission Impossible with Monica Barbaro's character from Top Gun 3. I thought that was so beautiful! I love when lesbians attach romance to dad media.

LOL look outside of a core personal friends circle? Just mentioning Tolkien at this point usually indicates that you are some kind of weirdo and frequently just legitimately reactionary.

This attitude both online and actual text has done a LOT to make superhero comics particularly insufferable and actually deeply unfun right now. Lots of superhero storytelling is really all in on affirming the existence and merits of the characters and I just don't think that's interesting.

Hell yeah super hyped for the new James Bond game

I bring this up plenty but the Catholic tendency towards just pulling cope has gone from "something I sorta roll my eyes at" to "Something that's starting to really set my teeth on fucking edge."

I've been doing a homebrew mix-up of Kult and Feng Shui for TTRPG play recently and I think I hit on something pretty grand. Not only do the aesthetics oddly mesh well but Feng Shui's simple rules systems really let me play with the sandbox and scale of Kult perfectly.

The Testament of Ann Lee (2025, d. Mona Fastvold)

This is my father and like the majority of men I knew growing up.

I teared up at the very passionate outro guitar solo the other day when I first heard this. Recognizing that somebody in China has a very Iberian approach to guitar playing is such a wonderful feeling of global interconnectedness.

The Soviet response to Jan 6 is every leader gets convicted in a show trial and shot in the back of the head, and all the NPCs who stormed the capitol get sent to gulag. Does the Resistance think that's worse or better than what we got?

Sometimes I will grouse about the limitations of the omnicausal analysis (‘everything is about race’, ‘everything is about gender’, ‘everything is about sexuality’, etc.), and someone will respond that Marxism is the same way because it says ‘everything is about class’. Here’s what I say to that.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

I think a lot of Bluesky ppl self-identify as center-left because they are still mad at 2020 Bernie Bros. These people now hold opinions far to the left of 2020 Bernie Bros, but have negatively polarized themselves into thinking Actually Existing Center Leftism has also moved left.

You can help Alaa's children and newborn baby survive Israel's genocide right now by sharing & donating. They're starving, homeless, & plagued by the disease & vermin sweeping the camps because of Israel's destruction of sanitation & healthcare. Her husband is a prisoner of the occupation:

I'm sorry but there's a VERY MINIMAL amount of empathy I can give to anybody who's fallen down the menosphere rabbit hole. Like how old do you have to be to determine if this person is just dogshit stupid? Because I'd said say "over the age of ten" is no excuse.

I love this video because when I watch it I look extra greasy.

I hate people who do this discourse in general but I'm increasingly just being able to admit that everything being activated by general contrarianism and "a need to never feel bad" will make me grind my teeth like nothing else.

I say this as somebody who quite likes a lot of tactical fetishism in their contemporary action. We gotta make room for dual pistols to come back and we have to treat right and cool.

In light of WotC outright saying that its analog games should be viewed as live service games, I'm sharing the text of my talk at the 2026 UNC-Greensboro Game Studies Conference. It's about why digital design assumptions are showing up in analog games. stuckness.ghost.io/the-doodad-e...

Since Nakba Day is tomorrow (US time), I thought it would be a good time to remind people on here that "the Arab states told Palestinians to flee on army radio" is a definitively disproven myth and has been disproven since at least 1959. Even Israeli historians admit it is untrue today.

Obviously I'm a big fan of New Edge Sword & Sorcery But I'm so consistently impressed with what they're doing with Jirel and it's kinda legitimately impressive seeing this revival of the character.

i know the inclination is to send that to every trump supporter you still know while saying “this man doesn’t give a fuck about you loser“ and you should lean into that inclination

Vampires are also the most important subject in the world for me.

One of those platonic ideal perfect songs for me.

dressing like a late 1800s man of leisure. having 40 raw oysters and 3 whiskeys for lunch. my wife has run away with the pinkerton detective I hired. German research into the new dirigible technology makes me angry

I want her to hunt me for sport.

As a former Tennessean of serious left wing convictions? PLEASE JESUS I WOULD BE SO HAPPY IF TENNESSEE WAS TAKEN OVER AND OCCUPIED BY THE HARSHEST SINGLE PARTY COMMUNIST REGIME POSSIBLE!!! IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY FUNNY AND GOOD

Clearly, Thomas Jefferson's "decent respect to the opinions of mankind" no longer animates many Americans and they are content to be rightly viewed with the same revulsion as the apartheid regime in South Africa.

The most effective anti-American propaganda produced by the Soviet Union was factual reporting of racial animus and oppression from the American south. Many American elites considered the Civil Rights movement to be as much a weapon in the Cold War as was the space race. bsky.app/profile/semp...
