Regular reminder that I have brain damage and connected memory problems compounded by my ADHD. So, if I haven't reached out to you in weeks/months, I'm not ghosting you. I don't ghost people, I block them. If you can read this, I've simply forgotten to check in with you. I still think you're great!

I will never understand why so many old men in the entertainment industries are gung-ho about the most braindead ideas, but piss themselves in fear at the idea of the obvious cash grab people are begging them for

There was a roo in Rescuers Down Under, and of course Kanga from Winnie the Pooh although I'm not sure she counts.

Who should I blame then? Because they keep snatching defeat from the jaws of victory at every opportunity. The neoliberals are in charge and they're determined not to let a progressive do a single thing while they live.

They'll speak for an entire day in protest, then vote in a Trump appointee

This movie was the most outrageous bait-n-switch film I've ever seen in my LIFE

Because his bullshit argument is that because he didn't serve two terms back to back, it doesn't count.

Still, we have to force him to suspend elections. Otherwise he'll just cheat.

I just celebrated my 16th wedding anniversary. We met through a mutual friend.

I have NEVER seen a marriage start in an app.

"I can't switch to Bluesky all my fans and customers are here"

I will judge you by the company you keep. If Twitter is the company you're keeping, I don't want you on Bluesky no matter how pretty your waifus, no matter how greasy your porn

I mean. I'm surprised they didn't, frankly. That's about the level the studio was operating at, at the time

If you would have told me 20 years ago that I should boycott JK Rowling because she is an evil hag trying to corrupt an entire generation while preying on some of the most vulnerable people on earth, I would have laughed at you

Yo I'm calling it, he comes back as a Demon and she almost kills him but then realizes her hallucination of him is gone. She realizes she can't do it, and she can't ever leave Hell as long as he's there, and her whole world falls apart in front of everybody

Geez she is literally still wearing his blood isn't she

Wow, she really is right up under his wing, literally pressing her wing into his ribs... there's actually a surprising amount of casual physical intimacy in this picture

Sandalwood. I adore the smell of sandalwood.

The Crime of Human Virtue by A. R. Moxon

"Why do this? I'd argue it's because human progress exposes the truth, which is that when you open up the ledger and start the historical audit, that supremacists, fascists, Nazis, Republicans—whatever you want to call them—actually have contributed nothing of value. The best they can claim is that they enslaved those who built it for them as they watched, and now possess the booty that they stole from somebody else's safe. Certainly it's true of these modern fascists. Contra Miller, they build nothing except concentration camps of enslavement and other engines of punishment and oppression and false narratives of self-justification and premeditated violence. What has been built of value has been built from human virtue, and human virtue, like human progress, exposes the Republican project like it exposes any supremacist project, as a project void of virtue, opposed to human progress, and even to humanity, and even to humans."

Oh my. At least one of my children will be hopelessly addicted to this.

They're doing a dirty trick, firing the most senior workers to hire on new employees for less pay. Gotta save money to keep the government working after giving rich people all their money back.
