This passage nearly broke me.

For context Hegseth was basically fired from every job he had, including resigning from his national guard duty because he had a Deus Vult tattoo. He got fired from all his other jobs for drinking and abusing women on the job. Heres a letter his own mother wrote to him about his treatment of women

Now watching: Robot Jox It's exactly the level of quality you'd expect from a giant robot fight movie directed by Stuart Gordon. If you go in expecting more, that's on you

Anyone who has cared for relatives with some form of senility/dementia knows how surreal the lucid moments can be. It is so much more surreal when it is the president

SIMPLY HAVING A

Special Agent Amelia Bedelia has been suspended pending an investigation

If you are in line to ascend into Heaven, STAY IN LINE!

You want to improve quality of life for autistic people? Let me buy kink gear with my HSA

The only "autism announcement" I'm interested in is a tariff waiver for Games Workshop

People who don't see doctors have fewer diagnoses, film at 11. There is no amount of contempt for these people that is excessive

Me + my comfort movie

This matches my UMC upbringing as well. The craziest thing I saw was Judgement House. A haunted house in a church that walks you through a mass casualty event and then some of the victims are tortured in Hell and some get to go to Heaven and then a prayer room at the end

You could almost write an essay on white, conservative, protestantism in America from this image alone

The Long Walk last night (brutal, but so so good) and Wicked touring show this afternoon. Good weekend for cathartic crying, I guess

Brewed beer for the first time in 9 years last night. I didn't realize how much I missed the process, but doing it on a weeknight was probably a mistake.

Say what you will about Caligula, at least Incitatus was a real horse

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

The guy who used to host the Girls Jumping on Trampolines segment on The Man Show is too woke

This is obviously a shakedown letter, but putting the price in the filing is so brazen

Oop.

Presumably Mark stops on the way home to buy a pirate shirt and a whip. #FrightClub

Joining a few minutes late, if my Internet gets its act together #FrightClub

In another life he could just be gilding tacky little dollhouses in his attic, losing his mind like Toni Collette in Hereditary

These parrots have me feeling way more emotional than I was prepared for

Don't say anything online that you don't want to hear read in court. So I won't say what I think is an appropriate reaction to this.

Launch of the Vasa, 10 August 1628 (colorized)

It's blurry, but the only proof that I did get to do my first DragonCon panel (the other panelists were fantastic)

Our queen of cunt Julia Hellraiser 2

On this day in 1823, Mary Shelley went with her father William Godwin to see Presumption; or, the Fate of Frankenstein at the English Opera House. She loved the novelty of seeing her story on stage and particularly liked that in the program the monster was named only as a series of hyphens.

Why is Toothless giving me bedroom eyes?

DragonCon Day 1: an auspicious start, the first cosplay I saw was a group doing Brotherhood of the Wolf. In unrelated news, I still suck at Warhammer

Feels good to be back in A'lana

Narrowing down my DragonCon schedule is like asking which child is my favorite, but with special interests.

Sometimes, Spotify recommendations come through. This whole album is great. @devilsdoorbell.bsky.social I think you might especially appreciate this

Tonight's reading: Hunters in the Snow a (musical!) play by Clive Barker

Rewatching Hellraiser and I know it's supposed to make him seem pathetic, but I would have reacted the same way as Larry to that cut

Reminiscing over that time I found out my coworker likes metal and recommended Zeal & Ardor. Turns out he is also a Stephen Crowder fan and hasn't spoken to me since

Winds in the east, mist comin' in Like somethin' is brewin' and 'bout to begin Can't put my finger on what lies in store But I feel what's to happen all happened before

Obviously this entire screed is insane and incredibly racist, but I love the complaint that museums contain "nothing about the Future"

More seriously, I think there is more to this than plain misogyny (though that's part of it) If you view your hobby as exclusively male, then succeeding in that space proves your masculinity. If it turns out that gender is irrelevant, you see yourself as emasculated.

Just saw the list of other panelists for my DragonCon panel. I'm definitely the weakest resume of the lot.

Finally watching Event Horizon for the 28th Anniversary, I hate that it has taken me this long.

As Above, So Below. And then I wouldn't go in the catacombs

Slightly diminish a band: Johnny Coins

Saw Ghost again a few days ago and it was amazing. Thinking of doing a last minute Papa cosplay for DragonCon. Mitre might not.

Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here. From my dissertation:

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner

Actually no deportations have to happen. They're not laws of physics. There's no deportation rule akin to gravity or dark energy. Hope this helps.

The 90s were better in a lot of ways. None of my idols had been outed as abusers, I could make rent just taking the trash out once a week, and I got chocolate milk twice a day at school
