I've kicked around the idea of writing urban fantasy set in the '90s that starts by dosing the reader with the full awfulness of the era. Just the worst shit. Rampant homophobia. Constant boredom and disorganization. People quoting commercials at each other like they're fuckin' Furbies.

A little curiosity and focus will open up a world stretching back centuries that will shock you with how familiar it feels, how current and relatable its concerns are. Those people were humans just like you, and what they made is every bit as exciting as anything being made now!

Capitalism lives in the eternal "now". It doesn't want you to know about history, it doesn't want you to know art has existed for tens of thousands of years, it wants you slavering for whatever's coming NEXT, whatever's HOT and NEW, and ignoring everything else. You do not have to do this.

The CAF needed either more money or less responsibilites, that is clear. I almost died a bunch because of shitty or ancient equipment. The question becomes: what do we want from our military? Right now it's provoking off China, being human shields in Europe. Is that mission worth our civil service?

Daniel Radcliffe's scenes with Megan thee Stallion on Reggie Dinkins are all just this

Finally, a major American newspaper whose editorial board is courageous enough to stand up for the rights of big tech companies.

wow, to think, if you spend dozens of billions of dollars and evaporate a watershed, you too can have a search engine that requires 1400 words of prelude and warning before you can trust it to answer the question "when will The Odyssey be available for streaming"

How much do you know about the history of fascism in Canada? In my latest for Canada's History Magazine, I detail the history of fascist movements, what fed them and how they were sidelined. www.canadashistory.ca/explore/poli...

In my brain I hear “poor kerning” in Miss Piggy’s voice

1. this guy can't write. 2. why don't they get somebody who will like this film? 3. this is about the person not the film - stick to the film not the subject of the film 4. why don't they get someone w/an objective subjective opinion? 5. anyway, he didn't do any of that stuff until after 1988

Good Morning!!! I hope you have a good day at work or whatever if I didn't already make that clear.

At least when people used to cry about being "cancelled" on twitter it was in response to getting 5,000 pissed off QTs. On here they do it over like seven "shut up bitch" comments and they still have to go to twitter to complain about it
