Welcome John Carpenter's THE THING to the National Film Registry! bloody-disgusting.com/movie/393134...

I will be demoing my upcoming “Catch-18 - The Battle of the Brenner” game for @snafustore.bsky.social The demo will be via Vassal and multiple players can take a hot seat and play a turn or two! Come and be merry!

Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop is a pitch-black satire of Reagan-era America–it's still a smart, vicious, funny movie almost 40 years later, where the issues it's commenting on have become normalized to a disturbing degree.

I don’t have this one yet but I do have Casket Land and Dagger Dagger. you need this comic.

If Jets fans were even capable of feeling anything anymore, Sam Darnold taking another team to the Super Bowl would push them even further towards embracing the void.

the idea that you can “protect” 7400 miles of border and tens of thousands of miles of coastline not from attack or invasion but from civilians trying to make a home for their families is an insane white nationalist fantasy. anyone seriously suggesting it should be laughed out of the room

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity

the kids and the commies are always right, nobody ever listens to them and nobody ever learns a single lesson from being completely wrong about everything all the time because capitalism gives them headpats and belly rubs for refusing to change

COMMONWEALTH is OUT NOW. It is a "far-future social climbing simulation" inspired by En Garde!, The Book of the New Sun, and Barry Lyndon. @nictringali.bsky.social did the layout and graphic design and the cover and interior art is from @amandalee.bsky.social 👉 modality.itch.io/commonwealth 🍷🌹

she's saying this cause ICE wants to leave and they wanna look like they're leaving cause they won, not cause they're cold and scared. they dunno if the next killing is gonna set off the powder keg, or the one after that, but they do know they have no way to stop their guys from killing if they stay

every single time I am reminded of this event over the years, I repost the picture. no reason

A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell, it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

Here’s a Lenin banger for you.

living sainthood, in a real way, is walking out to do the ordinary, dangerous thing of insisting on your neighbor's dignity in a world that will kill you for it. holy holy holy

not only must We the People give these folks what’s coming to them, every single Democrat you will hear saying “it’s time for healing” instead of tribunals is a collaborator the Second Reconstruction must not be derailed

Minnesota is the best of us.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

“Putting Trump on the news” is not how we got here. We got here because conservatives have been enabled every step of the way by liberal politicians who refused to fight them, championed bipartisanship, & now we’re in the fascist hell which is the fallout from that. We’re here because of capitalism.

The center cannot hold; the falcon cannot hear the falconer.
