Megumin, an entity of contradictions

are there any absurdist visual novels?

what a wasteland

Do you ever think about the world humans created and get nauseous by the repulsiveness of it all?

Maybe a society where you always have to wear a persona isn't good?

In times of horror is it better to lose or to keep your sanity? (This is mainly a rhetorical question, but if you feel you have something interesting to share, please do.)

torn apart by contradictions

Happy birthday (12/4) to the best explosion mage in all the land, Megumin! 🧙🔥 📖 Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! (manga) buff.ly/nRznfQ5

happy anniversary

It's deeply unsettling to be a homo colossus.

Low-background steel is precious because it is not contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout. What should we call information not contaminated by "AI"?

If you want to live in reality, you first must abandon all hope.

man, the great deceiver

To fully acknowledge the absolute truth regarding the irreparable harm that is being caused by the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, one must exclude all delusions of hope. #COVID19

"Africa’s forests transformed from carbon sink to carbon source, study finds. Alarming shift since 2010 means planet’s three main rainforest regions now contribute to climate breakdown." 🌎 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Today is another great day to buy nothing.

This is "The Triumph of Death" by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Where is "The Triumph of Pestilence"?

After modernity comes postmodernity, which is just another word for collapse.

unfortunately, it's a lot of fun to stay up late

When your "social welfare system" is so Kafkaesque that people regularly prefer to endure miserable conditions over engaging with the system, it's not a welfare system but an oppression system.

Apparently Cloudflare is partially down.

The @lmumuenchen.bsky.social cancels a seminar titled "the Targeting of the Palestinian Academia". They claim that there were "doubts this event's academic standard would be acceptable". This is outrageous. Yet again, a German university silences Palestinian academics www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/...

In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive. PS. - Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Friend tried to donate to my Throne, flagged by fraud detection at Bank of America — bank identified the transaction as specially for “giantess voretuber Ana Valens” I suspect I faced those Patreon / Ko-fi dings b/c financial institutions have me, specifically, on record as a high risk recipient!

even the concept of reason is decaying

the denial of disease

FREUD&JUNG

They don't want you to know this, but you can just say endearing things to your oomfies. :D

Descartes famously said "Cogito, ergo sum". "I think, therefore I am" So called "AI" is a tool to abandon thinking. What does follow?

the illusion of modernity

One of my friends is not sufficiently into yuri. Which treatment options do you recommend? /j

Again and again I am alienated by how out of touch with reality the average person is.

some of my oomfies are creatures of the night

Wer auf dem Gehweg parkt behindert Leute im Rollstuhl oder mit Kinderwagen. „Es ist skandalös, dass viele Städte wegschauen und illegales #Gehwegparken hinnehmen. Wer auf dem Gehweg parkt, gefährdet Menschen und verhält sich gesetzeswidrig.“ #RunterVomGehweg ‼️ www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/verke...

The full moon is almost as bright as a typical scene in full sunlight. So if your main object is the full moon, you should keep this in mind. Most smartphone camera apps get this wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposur...

If the practitioners don't wear respirators, it's not healthcare.

don't forget to look at the moon tonight

I don't understand how the majority of people agree that Israel committed genocide but Zionists are still welcome everywhere (like on this app). After the Holocaust people at least pretended for a few years that Nazi were not welcome

just because the harm is not directly visible doesn't mean it isn't real

reject economic materialism

I keep getting lost in the fog

the obligation to look at reality

one can only hope it will be over soon

any yokai out there who want to eat me?

Being forced to use "AI" at work is deeply violating.

I am impressed again and again how resistant humans are to learning anything. (Somewhat ironic, isn't it? :D)

we are living "the big fuzz"

no escape from the human condition

bunny oomfie is very eepy and needs its 18 hours sleep a day
