I've been doing this a long time. This post is not about her selfie. It's not even merits of what he's saying. Posts like these are branding campaigns by people with unusual insulation from imperiling employment, and exploit it for attention through transgression, which is often analogous to power.

I love it when JRPGs do this

Ants are social. Elephants are social. Naked mole rats are social. But we're the only ones that can talk about what a member of our species said 500 years ago. Or enrich plutonium. Or eradicate smallpox. Those are multi-person, multigenerational efforts. Our specialty.

Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet? Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions? Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?

Don’t just let it be terrible, LEAN INTO it being terrible, because no one’s going to see it. I only bring this up because someone mentioned just this week that this trick is useful, but I *still* 30 years in, when stumped, write this on the top of the page.

Think of it this way: using ChatGPT is like employing a scheming eunuch whose obsequious lies will make your life difficult and embarrassing.

the thing that's fascinating to me about the guard is that they're not just soldiers, they're specifically Entente soldiers in the first world war. they're servants of an evil empire but also indisputably victims of it. they're often defending people, but within the framework that imperiled them

My take is that this project only stands a chance of happening if this announcement generates significant demand. It’s all part of the package. It’s great that Whedon is out, but they’re shooting themselves in the foot by keeping Baldwin. Part of the fandom won’t come back, and it’s a niche fandom.
