police procedurals were a mistake

Excited for Bovino and his new office.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

it is a wildly toxic expectation to support neighbors that are rooted in destroying your own existence

im at the point where im no longer lying to gas station workers asking me how im doing

absolutely, unequivocally go fuck yourselves

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

We live in such a stupid geopolitical timeline bc clearly Russia does not like our meddling in Venezuela, but he is also very welcome to our stance on Greenland and NATO. Hands down would be the most fucked up Hearts of Iron game alive

My weird prediction is that Trump will 100% move on Greenland, and European countries will capitulate immediately out of fear of fighting the U.S. which leaves their flank open against Russia. Which, is partially what the Trump admin wants tbh.

Maduro didn't destroy Venezuela. Western sanctions did. Jesus dude

I honestly couldn't give any more care to the conversation of Maduro being good or not. US sanctions against Venezuela are wrong. We are the problem.

Time to pull out this banger!!

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

I disagree, Larian is being made an example out of, it’s like putting a head on a pike. The message? “We don’t care if you made BG3. We will not forgive any use of AI”

so insanely fucking real for this

If reading other books gives u so little joy that that thoroughly poisoned well is your addiction maybe walk into the forest and try touching grass like about eighty times

this is totally different, thank you. Fertilized is a dark, non-infringing reimagining of Penny / Morris Stardew slashfic, set in a timeline where the farmer fell and Joja turned everyone in the valley into bones.

The prince, his almost but legally not prepubescent face so close I could ovulate, locks each of my fingers in tiny individual manacles. “you are very thorough,” I say “which means it is hotter.” “it was the Sexelf way, before I turned them into bones.” “are you sure we’re going with Sexelf?” “yes”

I, Penelope Goodwhite, sigh heavingly as I am thrown to the floor of Prince Raven Darkman’s dungeon, my fecundity breaking my fall. “I will never wear a gown!” I lie as he does another torture on me. He uses the Bonewand to turn my family into bones. I cry, which makes him want a family of his own.

romantasy reader: how DARE you criticize our important genre, you amab socialized manly man woman! romantasy novel: he did a torture on me. he did a torture real bad. but I was strong, and wet. it took 75 more pages and 12 content warnings yet somehow no descriptions. my womb then taught him to love

The death of Flash basically killing an entire segment of independent and free game development overnight is one of those things that never really gets spoken about, which is a real shame because a lot of that first generation of Newgrounds talent did break into the animation and games industries.

I wish I could get my home clean. I wish I could focus. I wish I could do better. I feel like a ghost. I feel alone and seen through. I cannot keep going at this rate. All I want is help and even that's a skill I've regressed on. When the friendgroup broke, I felt lost in a different way.

Calling RFK Jr. an 'apostle of pestilence' as if this is Warhammer 40k and he reveres Nurgle... Feels way too viscerally accurate, but way too fucking metal than he deserves, especially with that admin unironically co-opting so much 40k iconography. He does sound like Mortarion, though.

the opening of Welcome to Derry is AI, isn't it? I hate this fucking shit

Other people like different things than I do???? Inconceivable

Welcome to Derry is very good except in the moments when it is very bad.

i still really like it and some parts of it are REALLY good and then unfortunately there is some really wtf cheap decisions that drag it down a bit imo :(

welcome to derry has so much potential and then they do the same cgi jumpscare thing running at the camera 3x in a row man

While I've enjoyed the 6/10 show I consider Welcome to Derry to be, I also really wish characters had more depth. As it stands, Welcome to Derry is a decent popcorn horror romp for those dipping their toes into horror for the first time. IMO, it does also contain a lot absurd King-ism bullshit too.

I haven't been watching Welcome to Derry. Has Cujo been run over by Christine yet?

One of the big perks of making explicit pornography is being spared the constant braindead tee-hee needling that creators who make SFW media get whenever their work contains any concept that's so much as tangentially-related to a fetish that's considered "safe" for boring normies to make fun of

Like at least in porn if you include a shot of a foot or if the characters are furries or if someone gets inflated or petrified or mind-controlled, it might be a thing to jack off about, or it might not, but either way it's not worth comment because this is a jack-off-about-it work

But do the same in a non-pornographic work and every dipshit whose last IRL blowjob was eight years ago wants to jump in with the "I know what you are" or "the writer's barely-disguised fetish" because all they understand as being funny is "when someone jacks off to something wrong"

Internet exposure has ruined this kind of unfunny loser by broadening their awareness of Kinds Of Jacking Off That Are Wrong, to the point where any remotely fantastic concept or reference to human anatomy becomes a "hilarious" reveal of deviant sexuality, ripe for their cutting wit

One thing I think about a lot is that KotakuInAction used to murmur in 2010s that I had sex with my sources. A bawdry lie meant to discredit me and potentially get me fired from Daily Dot (of which there were many attempts). Meanwhile if I was a cis white woman it clearly would’ve had no effect lol

If I can be vulnerable for a sec, people re-posting this means a lot to me. I wanna make gamedev the main thing I do and every bit of support helps. I think it's worth buying also! I worked hard! I've gotten better! I'm proud of it. C'mon... help a girl out...

After putting the game back in beta and promising to stay heads down until next year, the Splitgate 2 devs announced they’re ending the beta for a December relaunch, and my meaningless conspiracy theory is that they’re doing this so they can relaunch their game at another Geoff Keighley gaming show

started watching pluribus

Your reminder about 'Vila do Nevoeiro', a visually impressive project made by Triskal in RPG Maker XP back in 2008.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

I finally finished my fantasy version of Asuka and her eva! 👧🤖 #neongenesisevangelion
