Britain has basically no liberals of note now, and liberalism is functionally dead. The right of the state to stomp all over opponents and minority groups is locked in and it’s been done without significant complaint from anyone except the left, who got stomped all over for trying to resist it.

England scares me bc they talk about their power coming from "Number 10" all the time, and I know nos 1 and 2 (piss and shit), No. 10 is prob much more disgusting by an order of magnitude

I can't believe I turned out to be optimistic about the Starmer government.

In America we joke about newly elected presidents being ushered into a room and being shown footage of the kennedy assassination from an angle they've never seen before what happens to prospective British PMs? do they even need to be shown anything?

great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em and little fleas have lesser fleas and so ad infinitum the great fleas (themselves in turn) have bigger fleas to go on and they themselves have greater still and greater still, and so on

I think we have to accept, even appreciate, the delight of regular New Yorkers if for no other reason than every single officer of the NYPD is making sad oinking noises rn

New World of Darkness

Prey (2016)

the typically sternly-spoken dolls who actually live in NYC are all telling you erin reed is full of shit. if that doesn't tell you anything i have nowhere else to go with you. you are a turkey looking up in a rainstorm, mouth agape, and drowning.

Talk to any Atlantic writer for five minutes and they'll start sounding like Stephen Miller, right down to thinking "real" and "native" are synonyms

breaks my heart that such an adorable creature could grow up to be the wretched scooby doo

i'm gonna do it. i'm gonna be one of those posters who makes a thread of what songs they're listening to. now that there are no away messages anymore to post lyrics into, this is the only viable way to transmit earworms www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQNB...

Also here is the cyberpunk playlist I made for a GURPs campaign years ago that I think really covers everything that SHOULD be included in cyberpunk, not just the generic synth shit. (But also, the best SYNTH shit possible, The Apocalypse Now soundtrack). I could expand this even further now.

yara polana :)

“You don’t understand, he’s unable to keep himself from committing violence against people he sees as lesser because of his problems with emotional regulation” is not the endorsement for political power people seem to think it is and that’s all I will say about that

Only the strongest will remember to honour Wizard Wednesday

rats spent quite a few years remaking the tech right in their image and now the tech right runs the country for the fascist internationale. link surely unrelated, no idea how it got there, i'm bad with computers etc

British elite society, especially in the workplace, runs on inflicting humiliations on one's perceived lessers in order to maintain a hierarchy that has been running, with less alteration than you'd think, for centuries. See anecdote from ~7 decades ago (leslie mitchell autobio)

We have no choice but to fight antisemitism as though Palestine does not exist and fight Israeli apartheid as though antisemitism does not exist.

in the new edition guilliman and his eldar gf fuck so hard his corpse dad wakes up

i've heard a lot of small companies working with wotc and i've heard a lot fewer of them who liked it or would willingly do it again

bought too expensive fancy sodas before even realizing it was pride month. somehow, i just knew....

Also (and I say this as self-critique, it's a bad thing about me ultimately) I find the aesthetic of the delicate reasonable centrist, just ever so concerned that people will hate them when they're only trying to get both sides to admit their mistakes, just so whiny and pathetic. I can't respect it.

I consider it a violation of my personal human rights to have to look at an ad at basically any time

All I know is that any candidate or official who will abandon one out-group today for perceived political advantage, whether it’s trans people or disabled people or immigrants, will at some point be entirely willing to abandon you, too.

you may think that derek being straight limits his understanding of the infinite possibilities of the body. you've forgotten about mystic revelation and frankly your ignorance disgusts me

GOOD VIDEOGAME ALERT

But what should I, an easily-manipulated internet obsessive, DO about this "MIRI"?

alarming how many outlets are just pro-genocide in a general sense as part of having to defend a specific one

The reveal of Nick Cohen's sexual misconduct had to be in the New York Times, because no one in British journalism would willingly expose the misdeeds of one of their own

my long-held belief is that texas is not meaningfully a democracy and i would love to be proven wrong here

Daily affirmations: * What is this place? * What manner of creature are you? * What sorcery is this?

In America we have freedom, which means the right to give good ratings to What's All This Then on whichever podcast service you like, regardless of whether you like it or not

The only thing I dislike more about these people than their snarling bigotry is the way they demand everyone else treat them as nice liberals

I wanted to watch The Princess Bride, which I own legit on bluray lol This is why I pirate movies with zero remorse. Why is this even a limitation? What is PlayStation preventing by making sure I cannot switch my PS5 over to another region whenever? 4 remaining changes!? lmao

Choosing to believe Noel was the guy who yelled at Swan Boy after hitting him with his car that SB's writing about in his tumblr(?) in this old panel. That's why Andrea thought that SB hit Noel with his car. Swan Boy has epic Lore and intertwined vendettas like a soap opera

Don't be weird about GLP-1s please

Every British Sensible Liberal going "oh heavens this new guidance is just dreadful, i only wanted you driven out of some parts of public life and only raped a bit, for the look of the thing you understand"

Nora and Lee have frameworks to manage their sex life. Are they looking for a third? Could Noel wake up from his isekai dream and discover his mom and dad and Andrea are in a throuple now, that Swan Boy is in some esoteric way his brother? I think that would be nice. (not for him)

Including "Did I/Swan Boy do it?"

I wish I were joking, but this is what an American salad looks like. And they won't let you order it until you say: "Hey buddy. Give me The Tailgate Caesar Crunch Extreme!" and when it arrives two men dressed in little uniforms run out and sing a song about it.

Abundance liberals with a huge "get": guys who whine about black women in movies

occasionally i think swan boy (swan boy dot com available on your browser) is too harsh on noel but then i go back and read the stuff noel has said and done

when this happened all the legal eagles on here did their favorite thing, which is to say "regrettably and with a heavy heart i must say that the howling reactionaries are in the right here"

if you have a substack you should be forced to wear a jester's outfit and talk in an ed wynn voice

Just realized: how the fuck did SB get the money to buy a Hooters Rewards membership for Noel? More texts about body parts to that guy?

ohhhh this is all just Professional Posters telling themselves they're Big Strong Toughies for posting on twitter. Neuroses for the commentariat class, pay no mind

"this website needs to be explicitly more unpleasant to be on in order to be In The Conversation" i fucking hate bloggers man, we need to give these people something to do that isn't writing blogs
