“Why do they bother making VEGETARIAN FOOD look like MEAT haw haw haw” Shuck the fuck up, nobody asked you

I’ve felt this way about Togo in Tucson sometimes mainly just because it doesn’t seem like the bikes get used that much, not complaining about it existing. But having just looked it up it’s 15k trips a year on 330 bikes. I don’t know how that compares but def sounds like it’s getting used.

Look I’m not a linguistic prescriptivist by any means, but RPG nerds: Low Fantasy does not mean Low Magic. It does not mean No Elves. Yes I will die on this hill.

Good thing there’s no reason we might need those guys right now.

Just got back from watching Backrooms and my initial review is: probably more fun to make than it was to watch, 7/10.

Finally getting the authentic BlueSky experience (tm)

Is that good

Everyone believes some form of glonzo. The world is too complex for any one person to avoid it. If you think you absolutely could not believe a glonzo, you probably are dedicated to some of the worst ones.

Most President since ol' Willy Taft, that's for sure

it's a good thing this administration isn't also trying to crush the green energy build out as well wait hold on i've got my producer on the other line

Man this might surprise people but these meetings didn’t used to be televised.

Thinking about this today, but one of the reasons her anarcho-syndicalist utopia works in the text is because everyone’s career is basically run by Anthropic.

Anyway thank God for Zohran Mamdani, a man who is intensely committed to solidarity with Palestinians and also to the safety of Jews in New York City.

now listen here you little shit

It’s become a running gag between @debrajust1.bsky.social and i

'vote blue no matter who' does not and should not require debasing yourself for their honor as well. Jesus people.

Save us, Flo Rida

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

Isn’t Babel a story of god striking down people for working together?

i mean, i sorta just don't care all that much about what the pope thinks about computer

I think this is well intentioned but essentially demonstrates the problem it thinks it’s addressing: the ethical framework of military service is not eroded by lack of doctrine, but rather because the force has adopted a form of crass jobism over the 20 years of the GWoT.

Man just imagine making yourself even more insufferable in the comments than Taylor Fucking Lorenz. A real achievement.

These little indignities are actually load bearing for the US system of government, and after this guy is finally gone we’ll have to burn this abomination to the ground and make the next president live and work out of, like, a Motel 6 or something.

Watching the Jon Oliver segment on the companies scamming desperate people who receive structured settlements and good lord what do we even have the 101st airborne for

Westbound in #Tucson tonight. (Just before it started raining!) #photography #Fujifilm #fuji #liquor

Muppets’ Mandy (but this one for real)

Muppets’ Arrival

Illiberalism is not better than liberalism is the lesson everyone should now be learning.

I think something about Leviathan that most people/theorists seem to miss (probably including Hobbes himself) is that Leviathan was never The King; too late many despots have discovered that Leviathan was all of us, all along.

We Are Going To Win.

Well well well not sure why I’m reminded about this today.

You ever see a discourse that you actually feel pretty strongly about and yet have zero desire to get anywhere near it?

Lmao YEEESSSSS

So far the most use the ‘mouse mode’ on the Switch 2 has gotten is my son discovering Mario Paint for the SNES. It is pretty hilarious how much fun he’s having with that half baked toy.

Sometimes you see a smart person make a really stupid argument, and instead of getting angry I just take a deep breath and remember they work in tech.

You did a philosophy degree, yeah? It's like these folks don't know that people have been trying to figure out how human consciousness is formed for thousands of years. I studied ontology, I'm not going to get tricked by the first two-bit conman to pull out a mechanical turk with a good line.

One of those things I find very annoying about the RPG/Fantasy scene, and this is really not that important which is probably why I find it so irritating, is how basically nobody uses high/low fantasy correctly. I’m not even a prescriptivist, but this is such a foundational aspect to the genre, ugh

Who could possibly have foreseen this

Damn Bezos looks like total shit here.

I’m really grateful that as a non-Maine voter I don’t have to make peace with voting for him in November, but if I *was* I would hate every second of it and I’d complain about it, but I’d still fucking do it.

This is so hypnotic. Possibly my favorite account on here.

Holy shit, how is nobody else talking about this show. The Sunset Cocktails episode is so fucking perfect. Creepy, darkly funny, *taughtly* paced. Patricia as both hero & villain is such a well acted role. #WidowsBay

Poaster’s Ataraxia, as it were.

man there is one poaster supreme (not Stancil for once) who has good views on one topic, & while freely gives opinions on other countries &/or topics outside their 'expertise', is extremely short & unpleasant to anyone with the temerity to do the same. Y'all seem to love this and it confounds me.

A lot of this is also just how it’s presented. I mean I’m way too young for Flash Gordon nostalgia but a well made and interesting Flash remake would fucking slap so hard.

For some reason I’ve been obsessed with Classic Traveller, despite never having played it nor having anyone to play it with. So after I was reminded about this old game I got it running in DOSBOX on my MacBook and this is my review: It fucking rules how incredibly unplayable it is.

Okay but nobody is calling it Reverse Malthusianism??

chat, are my trunkless legs of stone cooked?

Look on my works, Chat, and despair
