fuck independence day rules, it rules so much, it's so stupidly cool fuck

Incredible footage. Original video in the thread

Skwiggview: Children of Time It's fine, borders on good. The human plot is fairly stock and uninteresting. The spiders on the other hand have great alt-history, alt tech tree shenanigans, and weird gender politics that are like candy to my brain. It's fine on on it's own but there's another thing..

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

i finally got my refund i can finally use it to commission gay furry porn 😍

the question is not "will the US take precisely the same leadership role as before." we can't. but there is no longer a stable democratic core beyond the reach of authoritarian consolidation, and if we break free of it ourselves we cannot simply retreat from the world while we return to sanity.

PEAK commission

I have last-minute decided to get Chigüire the Windows 98 Capybara operational for AFC this weekend. If you see this boxy boy, please sticker him up and ask him to take your picture!

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

For all the talk of "climate pragmatism" (basically, doing stuff that further enriches billionaires and pleases autocrats and also might reduce emissions a bit), most paths to genuine US climate action run first through deep system reform that makes this country an actual, functioning democracy.

furry has a serious problem devaluing suit making as not art and I'm probably going to delete this eventually but I just feel the need to say it. so many furries think it's ok to be super rude about fursuits as if they aren't someones personal art pieces. people would never say the same things about

Technology advance a band: At the Imax.

Latest addition to the Blacksite PMC fleet. Equipped with high-accuracy railgun, designed to selectively disable target ship's propulsion or power systems, and to deny access to stations, satellites, or lunar surface installations through lethal force projection. #EMEZ #SST25

Play hard work hard sleep hard 🤘😼 A sketchpage for @km251lynx.bsky.social!

It costs 400,000 dollars to support an artist for 12 seconds, and now you can help fund that! Comms is now open!

Fuck a bluesky blackout, we need a whiteout. Cum everywhere, a week of moderators being unable to escape The Cum.

Of all careers to spring up during my life, being an online artist, while difficult, has proven to be one of the most egalitarian life-altering paths out of oppressed poverty and into a dignified self affirming existence. To protect it requires adopting the types of power often wielded against it.

"Hey.."

A moment of calm

Take up the torch of the abolitionist, progressive, unionist, pacifist, or any of the many other long american traditions of political activism and agitation. Bring back the associational life that Tocqueville so admired. Be a citizen not a consumer of political content

In advance of climate week, @publicenterprise.bsky.social published a list of all the kinds of financial tools we've been recommending to our state and local partners. Get wise: publicenterprise.org/financial-fu...

You should definitely hate these fucking freaks and all the horrible freak shit they're doing and want to do. But you also gotta, like, want things that aren't *just* revenge. Things that do stuff. You know. Stuff for people. Stuff that's nice for them. Nice stuff. That kinda stuff.

One million hands, pushing one million ways, are what it takes to send this all toppling down.

great thread american exceptionalism is a poison, and so is fixating on the, like, one other dictatorship the world is full of peoples who have defeated terrible governments

Skwiggview: Critical Mass Man, it sucks when you're really digging something and then sour on it big time near the end. Overstuffed and undercooked, it reads more like a pitch deck for space VCs than a story. As literature, the characters and dialogue have gotten worse and more repetitive.

the next president's duty will be to collaborate with Congress to destroy the presidency, and, along with it, the judicial majority in favor of the unitary executive

Something the man @mikeduncan.bsky.social will tell you at great and entertaining length is how long it takes for revolts to get off the ground, how often they fail, and how hard it is to predict exactly when they’ll pop off. Slowly and then all at once is a good rule.

It's No Big Deal!

The Republican Party as it is currently constituted will destroy the United States — politically, economically, socially and culturally. The democratic reform of our federal system isn't only justified in itself, but necessary to force its moderation into a party compatible with liberal democracy.

For over two decades, as anarchists have been sacrificed on the altar of these hilariously unconstitutional domestic "terrorism" charges, liberals have basically shrugged or at best furrowed their brows. Nothing was done to get the laws off the books. So yeah, Trump has legal means.

Through battle, a hunter is forged. Through blood a hunter is born. An excellent piece commissioned from @gerardriley.bsky.social immortalizing a fight I had in Hunt Showdown saving my two downed comrades from a full three stack with a single shot shotgun!

attire management 👕🍑

it is not sustainable for this nation to alternate between rising fascism and boring lib politics every 4-8 years even if it doesn't happen now, eventually that switch is gonna get stuck in the "fascist" position tit for tat can only form a stable equilibrium when the "tat" is guaranteed

This was one of the best things I read post-November

Mr. Frog is gonna be fucking pissed when he here's about this.

I think if you're at all a rational person you recognize that there is nothing that this administration would not do. No censorship, no murder, no corruption that they'd stop at. They're 100% all in on this and Republicans are 100% on board with it. All that matters is how we react.

I'm a member of the PMC and one of our major goals should be to eat the current crop of elites alive the first chance we get. Whether that be by building parallel institutions or taking the positions directly, these cretins gotta fucking go, they have comprehensively failed.

This is your enemy. Defeat is non-negotiable. Your objective is to reduce the green bars to nothing.

We have to have a Great Wealth Reset. It's not about funding services. It's about destroying the lives of the elites. We have one shot at this. There will never be a clearer point in history to get this done.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Important point I think. We're being governed by amoral nihilists with no virtue and no principles. Cartoon villains are running the show. Paid pundits can find a comfortable niche in that world, that's what they do. A citizen's job is different

"Spacefleet: HEAT DEATH", a realistic space RPG inspired by The Expanse and Children of a Dead Earth, is in development by Spacezero Interactive. It's got radiators, invisible lasers and PDCs raining down on missile waves: youtu.be/SzFKChdWLPU

american politics right now is basically divided between a popular front rainbow coalition and New Redeemers, you can't really compromise between those, the goal has to be win and to win reliably and long enough till the voters of the latter are driven away from their politics by defeat after defeat
