8yo: how you feel about unspeakable

Me: *capitalist ranting*

8yo: but he has to pay his cameramen, he has to pay his setup crew, he has to pay everyone else whether you see them or dont see them

two mario game princesses posed in smash bros game as if talking brown hair one (daisy) saying are you tired of (visibly edited) building character, don't you just want (visibly edited) some stuff to go well? as she gets up in the face of the blonde one (peach). This is an edit of an older meme that usually instead says Are You Tired of Being Nice?

It's beautiful! And interestingly done. I also quite enjoy that you're expected to die a lot and you just come back better. Very cool, much spite.

Hades was just released on Game Pass, and I never thought I'd enjoy a game so hellbent on killing me over and over again.

GWAR crossed a major line at riot fest

Like I know this is a rage bait
engagement farming twitter account, but "GWAR crossed a major line" is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever heard.

Saw a friend's video from Riot Fest
-GWAR mock-beheaded Elon Musk on stage. That's not edgy, it's grotesque and reckless and normalizes violence against a real person. This is not okay. Riot Fest and GWAR crossed a major line.

"On the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology, meaning before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

Gillian Branstetter @gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 23d

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the Gawker comments section, way back in the day. But as progressive movements swept through social media, others were tossed off Twitter and Facebook for stepping over a variety of lines, from allegations of harassment to claims of election misinformation. Pandemic era public health rules and fevered enforcement cost others their accounts.

I was getting my usual convenience store supplies for the workday and was stopped by an elderly gentleman who basically spent five minutes telling me a lot of really nice things, including that I was beautiful down to my soul. So excuse me while I prance around like a pretty princess.

My thoughts on the events of today.

Tumblr post by user Zooophagous.

"He loved guns and hated empathy. Its more honoring to his memory to be a huge dismissive douchebag about it. It's what he would have wanted."

It's that time of year again when I need to call out professors and teachers who keep asking their students to cold email developers to interview them for a class assignment.

Stop assigning this to students.

No really. STOP. Please stop.

I have other suggestions for you- stay with me...

Remember that awesome slogan? "We're here, we're queer, but we'll sit idly by until everyone is comfortable with it."

That's how it went, right?

Every single person who thinks a trans person should just pipe down until we restore democracy is, in my view, an enemy of democracy.

I’m not doing it.

Because shutting up the demographic that's under some of the most suffering will surely help us defeat the people "out to get them." Yes, that's how it's always worked.

*checks notes* Oh wait...

April Hawthorne @feathersonthewind.bsky.social · Aug 21

I don't think trans people should pipe down, but they'll mostly have to until we defeat the people out to get them. Maybe that's more significant than your needing to make a not well understood demographic a central issue, instead of creating enough unity to win as big as we need to for their safety

This morning someone online said I look like their mom, and then a mom gushed for a good minute about how pretty I am.

So... I think I'm old now.
