My main contribution to the question of where Talarico stands on trans rights is: Judging from the fundraising texts I get, the transphobes think he’s pro-trans.

The duality of the timeline

oh hey, I followed a link to a skeet and it got me around the age verification barrier

The entire thing is designed to make you simultaneously feel like you're a Good Person encouraging craft & indulge in contempt; the point is to get to call someone a loser. It's mean girl shit. If you think you're better bc you worked at it, just say so, don't do this "for your own good" thing.

If you have Angelfire or Tripod webpages, or Angelfire email, back it up now. A shutdown within the next 27 days is coming but they have not given us an exact time yet.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

@alltsunnodere.bsky.social So… Breaking Point?

I think for some people, the definition of antisemitism is very simple: 1. Antisemitism is when swastika. 2. Antisemitism is when Gringotts. And never any other time. Unless you find a Jew to blame for it.

HAPPY "THE WHOLE PLOT OF THE ZERO ESCAPE GAMES STARTS TODAY" DAY the one and only that will be watch out for snails

@filmcrithulk.bsky.social Did you get a chance to see the Chainsaw Man movie and/or Angel’s Egg?

"Every accusation from you is a confession." "No, every accusation from YOU is a confession!"

Not just extremist; a profound chillul hashem

it's similar in books where everyone i know who's a full-time author is like "please pre-order because basically only pre-orders count for books anymore"

The Got Milk? advertising campaign, in its focus on the hazards of lacking the advertised product, can be considered a descendant of Jim Henson's commercials for Wilkins Coffee. In this essay I will

Fun fact to make you feel old: Sentai Filmworks (2008-) has now lasted longer than AD Vision (1994-2009) (I’m ignoring the zombie shell company ADV currently exists as)

Well, it's official. I'm going to Oni-Con -- the first time I've ever gone to an out-of-town con.

What I wish people in America understood is that being far right/authoritarian is not just a white Christian thing, although that is by far the most dangerous form in the country. It's a way of imagining how your group will structure itself societally, and applies to just about every demographic.

Every time there’s a big shocking news story, we seem to collectively have to relearn the lessons of consuming information and identifying disinformation online. That knowledge is not persistent.

Kaiji was a manga inspired by the struggles Japan faced during its recession in the 90s. It's a story I'm sure is just as relatable now as it was then. Kaiji nearly crumbled under the pressure gambling with his life on the line. I loved imagining that same kinda of stress playing mere board games.

This thread contains a nonexclusive list of phrases that you do not ever want to see a court direct at you: 🧵⚖️ 1: "Defendants' arguments...invoke the time-loop in the film 'Groundhog Day.'" 2: "Defendants' contention...is pure sophistry."

Still keeping up with the "write 300+ words a day on my Disney project, six days a week" habit I started Sunday before last. Looks like my average is 502 words a day, or ~3000 words a week. Not bad -- if I keep it up, it'd mean a pace of one entry every 3-4 weeks.

Three leeches in a single Anki review session. Oof.

I typed "ten" in a Chrome text input with the Japanese keyboard and the second autocomplete option was "tensai koyaku", so I guess my computer knows I like Kana Arima at least.

The USPS does not lose money. It *costs* money. It’s a government service, not a business. Please stop judging it like it’s a struggling startup.
