its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment
100% what I've been thinking since the start lol Like no way a would-be Principled Political Assassin would waste their shot on Annoying Podcast Guy With an Upsetting Smile.
When a long-dead fic suddenly updates
It's like that person who engraved like 1600 characters on a grain of rice
The fuck you fit all that on a bullet casing, tho. Like damn, trying to remember if my eyes were that good and hands were that steady even at 22.
The Boy Mayor of Second Life shifting his core platform from "Dogs Should Vote" to "Dogs Should Get Instagram & Signal Accts"
what guys with incoherent politics used to do is start a punk band
I had no idea this was a silksong thing until the word "bugs" and I was very confused but intrigued about this novel form of necromancy you had discovered.
Like fuck all these dudes. They're all scumbags. But part of having Hopeful Ideals is i have to briefly sublimate my disgust in moments when i Imagine a Better Future, cuz the scumbags will need to eat in that better future, too. And maybe if their needs are met there's less impetus for scumbaggery.
Whole doctorate degrees of philosophy, psychology, sociology in the breakdown via alienation/social atomization of people's access to, like, "fulfillment". Maybe worth thinking abt how to build societies in which people don't feel the need to perform "ironic" violence for subcultural cachet, tho.
Murder as shitpost, which is related to but ultimately pretty distinct from, like, the 60s-70s assassination waves of murder as vector to fame. Honestly feels of a piece with like memestock shit-- a performative act that mimics a more common/sincere act, largely done *for* a specific audience.
As has been elucidated by others, a large part of this specific type of guy & type of violence is an intersection of performance & virality culture. From pre-event manifestos to livestreaming their crimes to shit they write on their kit, it's all primarily a performance *for* other Guys Like This.

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE
Edited this to be hyper specific to myself lmao
Every time someone protests doom gets older
It was especially annoying because it was a reply to someone else and I'm pretty sure that means they were getting notifs every time someone liked or retweeted it like fuck off guys you're making me look square in front of the cool guy
Had to delete a post because it kept attracting annoying resistlibs with 42,000 follows & followers each.
Please keep making your calls. I am. KEEP CALLING. Ignore that dumb-ass who was shot. He advocated for shooting minorities in the streets, and hunting down women who left abusive marriages. He's dead, move on. MAKE YOUR PHONE CALLS TO VISA, MASTERCARD, PAYPAL, STRIPE, AND PLAID. KEEP CALLING.
I like movies.
Truly bizarre to see people attacked, shamed, and disciplined for saying things about Charlie Kirk that are 1000x less offensive than what Charlie Kirk said about people

It is never far from my thoughts lol
The trouble comes in now having to keep these secrets for possibly whole actual fucking years. lol It's so hard. I wanna tell someone so bad, but the game hasn't even started yet and I have no one to tell. 😂
When I hit on a moment where I know what's being lied about, by whom, and why, I cannot keep a devilish Grinch-ass grin from spreading on my face. I immediately think forward months or possibly even years from now when I get to slow-walk someone to the realization that what they believed was a lie.
An important part of writing a fantasy world with a Long History for me, is finding the spots where the official story told to the players/readers can & should be wrong. Also deciding what kind of wrong. Lost knowledge is good, but intentional lies are much, much juicier.
I forget what the only emperor is emperor of. I hope it's something good
All of which is to say: if you're making a team pvp game, pls give your sweet benevolent healer heroes evil domme skins, as it helps me to truly inhabit my preferred role.
Games with resurrection mechanics are doubly brutal on that front, too. I keep someone alive way, way longer than they should have lived, then when they're finally brought down I just bring them back. You can almost hear the other team groaning when it happens. Their agony is my wine.
"I did as much healing as your top 4 characters combined did in damage. It's almost as if you did nothing for the past fifteen minutes. Nothing at all. A wasted effort. If I were you I would be terribly embarrassed. Tee hee." - your average support main
People who think healing is boring or passive or sub behavior or some shit simply do not understand the pure, sadistic thrill of undoing 3 out of 5 people's entire contribution. Healing is for the sickos.
The fun part for me in games like overwatch or league or any team pvp game that has support healer characters, is seeing how much healing I can do, and as a result how many whole-ass members of the enemy team whose entire existence i can single-handedly nullify.

huh that all-billionaires-are-evil thing keeps being true.
In my neighborhood, "You don't have hands, you have mushrooms" is the kinda thing that moves copies.
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Hey, a fun thing to do today is support some awesome trans and non-binary creators! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
I dont think there's ever been a greater "Behold! Cinema" moment than when they introduced the Doof Warrior in Fury Road. This is what movies were made for
Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb
It is legitimately very difficult. I ran on Friday evenings for years and eventually had to admit that it was like. Basically the worst possible time for my brain, after a full week of work. lol
Wahoooo The old standby
So, anyway. How's people's games going? Weekly games? One-shots? Gimmie some after action reports or talk up your campaigns. :)
Shut the fuck up friday is in full effect
the world needs more architecture like this
Hahaha nice gottem
As it turns out, silksong actually releasing has only made "silksong news" an even funnier reply to posts about nintendo direct, etc.
I want to once again reiterate what I said earlier. The reason the vast majority of Democratic and so-called centrist elites have acquiesced over and over again is that they are COMPLICIT. Because they actually know that direct confrontation is how you defeat fascists and choose not to do it.

Brb, doing end-of-month accounting work a week later, then emailing support in a flopsweat when I can't figure out how something works, only to not respond to any of their emails.
I'm waiting on client replies for three (3) "URGENT" cases, which I need more information on, and which apparently weren't as "URGENT" as the email subjects made it seem. One of em had 3 (three) exclamations in it, yet when I ask for data to actually work the case, that's 48 hours of silence, baby.
What an expertly called shot
The first victory for the glorious Great lakes Khanate. We will sing tales of this glorious triumph.
"Degradation" and "fantasy" are so vague, but to see cat ears and fairies specifically mentioned let's me know they intend to be extremely broad with how they interpret it. This is "degenerate art" levels of censorship. We need ppl to start calling in the numbers we had a month ago about this
Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it
- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked
Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.
Get on the gri🅱️
To determine which bugs drop rosaries in Silksong, you simply need to figure out which ones know about, and thus fear, God.
I’m sorry but let me unbury this lede: *the genAI industry is literally the financial engine that is powering the fascist regime in the United States* I hadn’t even made this connection and now I’m even more horrified by this tech than I have ever been. Boosterism == fascism, literally

I think if you listen to a podcast with fake AI people saying AI generated words you are functionally dead, you are basically a phone to me at that point
NEW: Tonight, this is all that remains of Nepal's seat of government in Kathmandu. Singha Durbar was the largest palace in Asia; home to the Prime Minister & government offices. A 48-hour revolution, led by Gen Z protestors, has toppled the government & left large parts of the capital in flames.

These turned out lovely. Always a fan of the sharper-edged dice. Very good color to them, too.
Alright I said I'd show these off today, and I keep my word. This is all art (but not ALL the art) I made for the Weird West style game All The World's Prey by @radmad.bsky.social. Whenever I show it to someone they tend to focus on the Nun, which... I get it, but I think the Warden is my favorite.
New day, new All the World's Prey faction! The Flight of the Morningstar have heard the call of a higher power. Their lives of peace have been abandoned to wage war against the beasts. Will you join them to heal the Bloody Lands? Join the Kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...
THEY'RE CALLED MECHA, COOP. REAL WACKADOO STUFF THE BOYS BACK AT LANGLEY HAVE BEEN COOKING UP. ENORMOUS ROBOT BODIES THAT'LL WIN THE NEXT TEN WARS. BUT HERES THE KICKER: THEY CAN ONLY BE DRIVEN BY MALNOURISHED TEENAGE LESBIANS. TRANSGENDERS TOO IF THEY'RE MALNOURISHED ENOUGH.
Gen Z in Nepal burned down the parliament, burned down the homes of government officials, forced the prime minister to resign, and paraded the finance minister through the streets nearly naked.
Speaking of unemployable, I'm not in anywhere near as tight a squeeze as I was this time last year, but it costs me about $1K for living expenses each month and that do put a squeeze on things. So if you've got any to spare and feel like helping out, my tip jar is always open: ko-fi.com/jazzelves
Nepal having an actual social media revolution: (predominantly young) ppl went out into the street to protest the govt shut down of social media sites, police fired live rounds, killing dozens this weekend, now the parliament is on fire and the prime minister has just stepped down (like, this hour)

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.
Maybe I did it your honor, but have you ever thought about how I'm just so, so eepy sneepy
Okay I see your point but have you considered that I'm very sleepy
Like it's not actually real until you send me that thing, I need that thing dude.
I got the new job I wS interviewing for, but they told me they'd send the offer letter at like 11 am and I still haven't gotten it, so a part of my brain is convinced that I have not, in fact, actually gotten the job.
💯 💯 Love the little hexagonal tables
This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care. It's a de-facto ban. Call your congressmen.

eyyyy they added bookmarks, good show
Woke up w messed up foot last week & for a few days it wasn't getting any better. It still hurts, but finally seems to be healing. Genuinely the worst part about getting older is the reduced recovery speed, man. I could tolerate decrepitude a lot easier if it didn't take 2+ weeks to heal a booboo.
We are 27% funded! Let's keep that momentum going!
I'd played a bit of it when it first came out, but only played all the way through it just earlier this year and was completely enchanted by it. There's some real zhuzh there; even as a souls game fan, it's got something unique and special about it.
