Decided to read/listen through all lf Ursula K Leguin's Hainish Cycle as a solution to my Existential Sci-Fi dilemma. Rocannon's World has been so good.

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

🚨 BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all NYC students to carry a 3DS.

Happy possum

was the same back on twitter. every time. always came up from comics/SFF/YA too. pirates, pirates, pirates, and the anger would come flowing. but whenever it came time to discussing how the publishers are damaging and exploiting these writers, everything got real quiet, real fast.

frustrating that this piracy discourse is the same goddamn thing every time, has been for years, while discussion of exploitation of writers by publishers tends to remain very faint. it feels like this is a frequent steam valve for frustration, a group that can be yelled at without risking jobs.

When Final Fantasy meets Anime. Well, at least by the way of its most famous illustrator: Yoshitaka Amano! More than a hint of Elric of Melniboné in the character design for the titular protag - and in the surreal nature of his world. Fitting stuff for Amano's dreamy art style.

The new De La Soul album is pretty good

My friend Dave Decker was arrested covering a protest outside of an ICE facility.

Hey guys. I hate that it got to this point but my account is in the red rn and I have more expenses coming up that I need to deal with before pay day. So any and all help would be greatly appreciated #mutualaid #helpsky ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go...

This is how I feel whenever anyone complains about Rascal having a subscription.. I 100% believe that art and literature and news and culture should be free for everyone. However, we need to eat and running the site takes a lot of work from several people. We still don't make a living wage from it.

Extension of the enhanced premium tax credit is good, even if it caps at 700%. But likely mandatory out-of-pocket premiums, reduced enrollment windows, and exclusion for repro/gender care and penalties for states choosing to cover undoc immigrants is very bad www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Lasers and Feelings hack set in the Stone Age called Sticks and Baskets.

It's weird hearing other folks talk about wisdom teeth being this agonizing pain, bc for me it just feels like this

RIP Udo Kier, a true original 📽️ his one and only social media post:

if you're still writing using the hero's journey, your mind is closed to all the possibilities

Columbo in his first episode looks like a dog that's just come back from the groomer

that's max payne

My latest Call of Cthulhu campaign is set in 1999, so I can just invent new awful NuMetal to subject my players to.

This is the closest humans have gotten to achieving the Star Trek replicator

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

likely stating the obvious here but this happens because legally they're required to be offering an amount of jobs, but don't want to actually hire people because the less they hire the less they pay. so they reject applications and write it off as nobody being qualified enough for them

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time released on this day, 27 years ago, on the Nintendo 64 in North America! (November 23, 1998)

6. This is all to say: No matter WHAT work we do or how we choose to do it, capitalism isn’t just designed to exploit our labor or time. It is designed to steal our attention and design our collective intention—about what we believe about our future and how we show up in the world.

SEGA: You get that Advanced Dungeons & Dragons soundtrack done? YUZO KOSHIRO: Sure did boss, real fuckin Detroit techno, just like you asked

My favorite thing is that the ultimate expression of Amuro’s newtype abilities, the single greatest thing he does, is not to kill an enemy or win a battle - it’s after the battle has won, guiding his friends, his family, through the horror and to safety on the other end

Look. I'm not playing with you people. During the great depression, if you were employed and had a job, you probably were not living on the streets. In 2025, many homeless people have jobs. Depending on whose stats you use, and if you count part-time employment, between 40% and 60% have jobs.

Been a while since I made an isometric map and it really is fun to sink into the little details. For the Monster of the Week game I’ll be gm’ing soon.

cool alien I made up

As usual, I'm recommending using Terry Pratchett's Witches books to fill the witch-shaped hole in your heart. Sir Terry Pratchett was an ally to the end and even wrote at least two nonbinary characters before "nonbinary" was in the common dictionary.

if mamdani gets this in every interview, republicans should always be asked to respond to the 76% of Black voters who think their party is "very" racsist

death of the artist is a stupid baby excuse for clowns with no standards to pretend the money they give her doesn't literally go to making trans people's lives worse. fucking get over her her writing isn't even good. ursula k le guin and terry prachett are right there. have some fucking self respect

I witnessed this scene at a gp waiting room years ago. It lives rent free in my head ever since.(3/4)

The SEGA Saturn will have very cool RPGs and Shmups with names like "Malfeasance Veiler" or "Lunar Stockholm" on one end and very middling platformers like "Slungo's Boyle", a 3D slog people swear by only because they remember renting it as a child multiple times to beat it

In all mediums of communication (stories, poems, songs, comics, paintings, games, etc) we're hungry for another person's true lived experience that contends with narratives programmed into us by society that aren't in our interests, and with other ways society uses and abuses us.
