A lot of rightful critique is being levied at the AI slop fascist nostalgia here But I do want to add Being nostalgic for Wal Mart is goddamned weird

*ugly laughter*

A man so nakedly evil and universally despised the DNC will be telling us we have no choice but to vote for him in a week

Whoever that fucking agent is needs to be hung by his thumbs

a political figure can literally order fascist jackboots to attack citizens, like mussolini, but if any citizen were to attempt any act of violence against this mussolini that would be beyond the pale. and on this, the liberals are in total agreement with the fascists, for all their handwringing

I will defend a lot that would otherwise make me uncomfortable in fiction, erotica or otherwise, but boy when it comes to authors invoking the specter of institutionalized slavery there is a point where I do have to start squinting really hard.

There's a stark difference between "We have to reckon with the guiding principles of violence and terror this country was built upon and allow us to live the way that we do if we're going to find another path" and "Everyone loves fascism so we can't do anything," and I wish people could see this!

What do you do when you possess your killer's daughter and she doesn't have a decent thing to wear? Sell it with attitude! Welcome back to Sunday Scaries 🖤 buttondown.com/daviddemchuk...

Hakeem Jeffries twisting a huge dial labeled “appeasement” back and forth as he anxiously looks out at a crowd of consultants, waiting for them to boo or clap

went to a play today. wasnt the best but i had a good time and looked cute anyway.

HOLY SHIT YES

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

You can read my cool and interesting essay about Junji Ito's Tomie

Sadly, yes. Founding out real quickly who's worth a damn and who ain't lately.

Restriction builds creativity Unrestriction builds 250gb of uncompressed textures & shader compilation stutters

reminder:

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

has the imaginary family in schumer's head told him he needs to make the dreamworks face in every photo now

Hello everyone 🍉❤️
It's Joy again, i know very well that you are doing your best to help me 
I've started a new goal which is $500 for medicine, food and rent of this shelter, you can donate here:

every week i start a new goal but i was busy with my evacuation matter

I, personally, think it's very concerning to be attacking someone online for exploring ideas through fiction at a time when everyone is being encouraged to funnel their creativity through generative AI instead. I think it's bad to try to punish people for making art you don't like!

Please share and donate if you can

The most frustrating thing about revision prep is getting to a piece in your work that you *know* isn't hitting like it is supposed to but you can't figure out why Then you go to work on some other element and the solution is something stupid, like moving a comma.

My body is still weighed down with weakness, and my soul feels as if it is being torn away piece by piece. The massacre I am living through has not only stripped me of my strength, but has also shaken my roots, I have become unable even to shape my pain into words i want just keep my family alive 💔😔

However stupid you think the med beds thing is, it's worse. This is the sci-fi tech from the movie Elysium, it's the thing that revived and rebuilds Sharlto Copley's character's entire face after a grenade shreds him in grisly fashion. This is what the conspiracy is, that fictional tech is real.

Everyone together now - "fiction isn't mind control and entertainment isn't politics"!

I do feel like there should be consequences for being that much of a fascist out in the open

This move is costing me a fortune in Stripe fees from U.S. Substack subscribers who are angry I've moved from Substack and are initiating Stripe disputes & taking their sub fees back. I feel like I'm going mad. They wanted to support Substack, not my writing? I still think I did the right thing.

Resonating with a work of art =/= An expectation that an artist is supposed to personally cater to you for the rest of their life

Fandoms to me feel like even less useful and more toxic HOAs to me tbh

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Moaz is a sweet kid who didn’t deserve for Bluesky to delete his account he’s just trying to help his family and go to school

it is wild reading through the draft now and prepping for revisions

I don't care about the "published within the last 5 years rule" Writers post the comp list for current project(s). Fallen Angel in Fur (working title/rough draft)

"Ah, everyone who likes this appears to be a thin-skinned loser" really does put me off to your work Sorry It just does

Tiernan wrote a beautiful essay about one of my favorite games no one played

there are dozens of us who like this movie! dozens!!

If you ever ask me to read sanderson I immediately assume all your other reccomendations are dogshit

NO sanderson does not count as 'unknown or lesser known', he is a massive best seller NO, he doesn't count for no or unstructured magic system NO, he doesn't count for queer rep, actually, considering where he tithes

I think that at this point if you are asking for almost any fantasy rec that ISN'T 'massively popular fantasy with very strict and granular magic system written by a mormon' and someone suggests sanderson to you, you should legally be allowed to kill them

US State Dept on X: Earlier today, Colombian president stood on a NYC street & urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence Petro: I ask all of the soldiers of the army of the US not to point their guns at humanity. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity Fuckin based

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.
