capitalism is incompatible with democracy wherever you are, actually. nothing special about the US here

If you're afraid of getting kicked by a horse, start small to build up your tolerance. Get kicked by a miniature horse at first and then scale up from there. By the end of the process you'll be able to no-sell a Clydesdale.

i got a few "i don't get it, ICE might be going too far but don't we have to have a way of removing illegal immigrants?" type responses to my charity drive announcement video and the answer there is no you do not. nobody illegal. don't care what the law says

how can we suffer these people to live among us, let alone purport to rule us? they're not just our enemies. they're an affront to the human experiment. they're hostile to all life not their own. they'd burn any number of us alive to avoid even a moment of mild discomfort. hideous

A villain named Altman is attempting to replace humans with an alternative form of man. Directed by Hideo Kojima.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

every new baby born gets a birth certificate with a blank gender field and an IWW card

to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

There is an irony that the folks most exercised about using the Second Amendment as a guard against tyranny are so utterly silent when the tyranny is here in our very streets.

“In our continuing fight to make America great again, it is vital we maintain Republican control of the government so we can ensure the extrajudicial killing of all U.S. citizens at the hands of ICE officers,” said Republican National Committee chair Joe Gruters

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

Which brings us around to my ultimate thesis, which is that the Roman Republic conquered the entire world it knew...because of woke.

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

I met my new years resolution, managed to reduce my letterboxd watchlist down to a single page. highlights: The Handmaiden, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The World of Tomorrow, One Battle After Another lowlights: Fantastic Planet, Battleship Potemkin, Gladiator, The Road to El Dorado, Kill Bill Vol 1

The movie referenced Emiliano Zapata and I clapped. I'm really no different than a Star Wars lore fan.

The history teaching they experience as demanding 'apologies for being white' is just 'factual descriptions of trans-Atlantic slavery' or 'factual descriptions for how the United States ended up with so much territory.' No one is actually asking you to apologize for that, but they don't care.

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Once in a century political opportunity here, if only there were a party to claim it

i know it's a huge cliché to say this, but being in korea and japan for a month gliding around on public transit and then coming back and almost immediately needing to travel for 2 hours in LA car traffic for industry events is freakin annoying!!!!

the game awards: french cultural victory

When these guys talk about the country taking a 'wrong turn' they mean in the 1860s, not the 1960s.

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

The new most important political issue is that the USA must adopt Atkinson Hyperlegible for all official communication. Give the graphic designers and layout artists a blank check to see this done.

Again, apologizing to all videogame environment artists who knocked up satirical posters for their games, I should not have rolled my eyes, yes, even you Cyberpunk billboard team, I am sorry

Every pastry I eat now just makes me reminisce about waking up in Reykjavik and walking down to Brauð & Co in the morning.

I could peel you like a pear and God himself would call it justice!

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that

"You want to play Uno?" <glancing over at Twilight Imperium, the only board game on my shelf, and assuming all board games work just like that> "Nah. I don't want to have to learn a whole new system."

Had a very @jesawyer.bsky.social coded movie month

It's maddening that it's considered smart politics to meekly mumble these idiotic slogans in response to being called Socialist instead of saying "Yeah asshole it's good when people have enough to live on and it's bad when billionaire sociopaths abuse us all"

The mad king is falling asleep at court, making nonsense pronouncements, ordering palace renovations while the people starve. Truly the greatest republic ever to grace the earth.
