+like previously the Traveler would talk to an Archon and they'd be "idk I know nothing" and now Columbina just gives them paragraphs of exposition

3) I want to fuck Flin soooo bad

Caught up with the Nod-Krai archon quest so Thoughts

1) this is definitely a better introduction patch than Natlan because I like all the characters and every quest feels relevant

2) its kinda hilarious how this is so obviously the Begining of the End bc they're just answering big lore questions+

also it will be heavily inspired by This AMV I watched nearly 20 years ago and is still tied to this song in my head www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xNn...

I think once the MHA anime is over I will do an AMV for it to this song because of course it would work youtu.be/RRKJiM9Njr8?...

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

I feel lots of things that felt like, were billed as, self-actualization read in retrospect as canaries in the coal mine for the fraying commitments we owe to each other as members of a society.

Relatedly, I recall a lot of "the joy of canceling plans" jokes and memes from the 2010s and now folks are talking about a loneliness epidemic, and, well...

People will scoff at virtue signaling and then wonder why today’s billionaires don’t build museums, libraries, hospitals, and universities like Gilded Age ones did.

Apollo 13 and The Martian are movies that depict the same thing, both as fiction and as historical retelling: that we *can* come together as a people for a common purpose. It’s up to us to *do so*, to reject the idea so prevalent across the political spectrum, that we only owe anything to ourselves.

Happy Birthday Jimin!

Jimin’s birth flower is Bridalwreath spirea/Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora. They have cascades of delicate flowers and symbolize neat and tidy love, perfect for our muse.
