There's something about exploring liminal worlds in VR that just... puts me at peace.

Once again encountering "The Tsar is good but his officials are evil/corrupt" from Trump voters and I just want to beat my head into my desk/keyboard.

words i live by

Consuming as identity. Because many people now have no life beyond what they watch/listen/play etc those choices become their identity, and they defend those things as if they were indistinguishable from their self. ‘Oh if you don’t like [game], that is saying you don’t like me’

It’s just a joke…🤣😩

If I was a nativist you couldn't drag that out of me. Severely embarrassing ideology. Announcing that you're a loser with no personal accomplishments so you have to ride the coattails of ancestors you imagine yourself having. Might as well proudly claim that your dad is spider man

I do not have any "immigration documents" to carry even if I wanted.

A new study of the last 50 years of US pop music shows “a significant increase in stress-related language, alongside declines in positive sentiment and lyrical complexity.”

"The global wealth gap has become so staggering, and its impact on economies and democratic institutions so corrosive, that policymakers should treat it as an emergency."

Dear Pokemon: Please revert back to the Ken Sugimori art style. It was so iconic and distinguishable.

The funny thing is there are absolutely traits skills and characteristics that financially super successful people have and they are: money being born into money knowing other people with money

The even weirder thing is that this is an 'experiment' rich people have done more than once And none of them succeeded in making it twice.

online gambling is essentially legal and open money fixing and laundering at this point

Thank you ever so much everyone who attended the stream! It was fantastic having you there for our villager hunt to replace Coco.

Just a little sketch from a visit to Southampton in 1998. I wandered around looking for something to draw and settled for a quick seascape of the docks with gulls. A cold wind coming off the water. #art #watercolour #drawing #seagulls

14 by Peter Clines is a clever, slow-burn blend of mystery and cosmic horror. What starts as quirky apartment oddities spirals into a chilling Lovecraftian reveal, driven by strong characters, humour, and an unsettling sense of the unknown. #Audible #Bookreview #Booksky #Recommend

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

A guy walked by while I was setting up to take this photo and asked what was special about this alley. He said people are always taking pics of it. I dunno, probably because it looks cool? 📷 Pentax LX, 50mm f/1.4 🎞️ Cinestill 800T #believeinfilm

shit that one isn’t even limited to the pundit class you can be annoyed with someone on the internet without them being ontologically evil or a symptom of societal decline, it’s fine, it’s okay to just find someone deeply infuriating and block them for that reason

related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America

As Trump's power wanes, he will become more dangerous. Even though he's losing his political power, he will retain the powers of the presidency.

Here is another watercolour drawing done on location in Winchester. This shows Dean Garnier's Garden which lies on the site of what was once the monk’s dormitory of the Benedictine Monastery. I still have the original of this tucked away somewhere. #art #watercolour #Winchester

this next WIP is for my robofuckers

The atrophy of congressional war powers to an effective nullity is just as much part of how we got to such an insanely aggrandized imperial presidency as all the other cases of executive power run amok. There would be no question of war with Venezuela right now without it.

We do a major disservice to novels as a medium when we assert they MUST follow screenwriting conventions. They certainly *can*, but to insist they ought to is to overlook the strengths of the novel format. Novels are not movies.

The RFK, jr effect.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

A new YouTube video? Yes indeed! Let's Play RoTT Ludicrous Edition - Dark war #30: Backfire www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a2B...
