"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Someone said “what does this mean” So I’ll try this My mom once told me “Sometimes the only way to be a good Christian you gotta stop going to a bad church” If you believe in love and peace , and they CHOOSE otherwise It becomes your duty to leave

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

this exists it is called thinking

Jesus spoke in parables about missing sheep and harvests and fish and splinters because that was what people *knew*. Examining morality through an everyday lens. It works.

good morning

I'm going to be highly sacrilegious and say that Batman has more practice driving motorised vehicles.

Maybe he is just a cokehead who needs to talk about something all the time because otherwise he explodes like the Speed bus

This was a summer holiday TV highlight when I was a kid. It was so good! I had somehow forgotten Mel Brooks was involved, but it does not surprise me.

I reviewed Cronos: The New Dawn, and I can't believe I'm saying this but Bloober Team hit it out of the park! A survival horror that expertly toys with its players, plus an intriguing story and plenty of squick. Bloober's best work by miles. Read here: www.thejimquisition.com/post/cronos-...

I will always give this ad a share when it shows up. Before watching it: imagine being an Irish kid, who has barely watched any anime. You switch on TV one evening, and *this* shows up on your TV. It blows your goddamned mind, and is seared into it forever. The Celtic Tiger was a strange time.

Entirely worth watching. But you have to have some context I think. When this movie came out, no one had ever seen a science fiction subject treated so seriously. Completely deadpan. No one winking at the audience. Contemporaneous reviews said it was like watching a documentary. Imagine that!

Can I just say great masks are in general? As soon as covid started I went from enjoying them as a face hider to always using them, and it's made conventions and events so much better I can go to a concert and not get sick, not even covid just in general no more annoying flu constantly

The wall hanging I made 😁

When conspiracy theorists are going on about the Illuminati, while their MAGA King is literally walking around a palace with people who wield the most pervasive, unaccountable power on the planet.

Babylon 5 nerds have been waiting 30 years for this moment.

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

Gentle reminder that Trump also declared Antifa a terrorist organization once in 2019 and once in 2020, and Congress also entertained resolutions to this effect in 2019, 2021, and in January of this year. I don't think democracy is dead. I think Trump is, once again, flailing.

women can do anything

Jokes aside, this is precisely why Reform and Silicon Valley are so deeply in cahoots. They intend to steamroll the public interest to give the billionaire techbros what they want - and what they want is everything.

...I feel like some questions answer themselves. As someone who has spent 20 years exploring this topic, this is one of the most New York moments I could explain to a tourist.

“can we be normal about this” do you think i’d be in a fandom if i could be normal about anything

picked up Coates’ “The Message” in an attempt to improve my essays, and the dude is just a freight train. Effortlessly connects the personal and political, and in an instant bowls you over with the best sentence you’ve read all month

Labour might want to consider using their majority to pass proportional representation. Just saying.

🎶Wanna take you for a ride🎶 Can't play MVC2 till I get better at SF6 first, but that doesn't mean i can't draw the boys #MarvelvsCapcomFightingCollection #MarvelvsCapcom

Holy crap, this book. Read this book.

In Mario Kart World, NPCs will park their cars, exit them, and walk around. However, the game does not actually keep track who each car belongs to. As such, a different NPC than the owner may drive away with a car, seemingly stealing it.

When talking heads or politicians justify their decision-making by "If I say this if I do that, that will give the Right an excuse to abuse you even more"—they are telling you to your face that they take orders from your abusers. "Don't give them an excuse" is what you say to battered wives and kids

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know) Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

I am pissed and scared all the time but I love us so much and I would not trade even if it made my life easier to be one of them if you are trans, if you are queer, if you are personally fucking up gender binaries, I love you so much and I am so glad you’re here

they can hurt us and scare us and make our lives hell and they sure are doing their best to make all of that happen but they cannot legislate a gray bleak joyless cishet world into permanent existence and they feel the walls closing in on them which is why the violence is escalating now

saw this post on Insta from my friend Laramie, a queer horror writer (excerpt from SACRAMENT by Clive Barker), then opened bluesky to see Talia’s post, and I am feeling both things so deeply. you are fucking magic. we are magic. we are a hydra. chop off a head, ten grow back. I get queerer every day

Hi Friends! So the Husband and the Scraplet are taking part in a hill climb at the end of the month to raise funds for Scraplet’s school. If you’ve got a wee bit to spare, please consider making a small donation to support them and power them up that hill!

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

someday there's gonna be like an actually really good vaccine for covid and then in like 10 years people will start actually looking at how bad covid is for you and be like "can you believe people just walked around getting covid"

Right wing activist is shot - who’s to blame?
