I don't tend to do this often, but it's a new year, so here's a new self-introduction. #promosky
I'm Devlin Burgess, 28 years old, cis male (he/him), straight, white as a sheet. Recent graduate from Grad School, military historian, new to social media. American, lives in Oregon in the Portland Area.
And I've called it quits with #Chronos:TheNewDawn. Nothing terribly dramatic as the reason, I just found it increasingly uninteresting. Not particularly fun or challenging, not particularly scary or unique. Just kinda...derivative and plodding. Not terrible, but not really engaging.

"Ha-ha, can you find the pot'o gold at the end of me rainbow? I'll--"
"Alright Shamus, that's enough of your gay propaganda."
But-but- I'm just spreading the whimsy of the Fair Folk!"
"No excuses. Get in the detention center while we whitewash this rainbow and change the gold for cryptocoins."
Rainbows on sidewalks is the most neutral you can get, people literally don’t have to think of it as gay rainbows; people just like rainbows
"to prove we are diverse and welcoming, we will remove all symbols intended to signal that"

My most non-provocative take on the state of Christianity at the moment is that a lot of societies took being their particular flavor of "Christian" for granted, and when it came time for their faith to actually be tested, many have resorted to lashing out rather than actually argue their case.
saying this as someone who is not an atheist but has very little interest in discussing my faith unless someone explicitly asks, but I personally do not believe I'll live long enough to see Christianity recover from what's been done to it by grifters pretending to be Christians

What an insane rationale for a ruling. "Well, the Legislature has been talking about the issue, so I guess we don't really have to."
THAT'S LITERALLY YOUR WHOLE JOB.

Look, I know nothing about college sports, so I don't really know how ethically it's run. But a number of the comments on this topic strike me as basically being the grown up version of the nerds complaining about the jocks and their "sportsball".
Sports are a skill to be learned like any other. /1
LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Man, I am having just *terrible* luck with queer romance manga lately. Yaoi, Yuri, doesn't matter, all the ones I've read this year have had bad art and even worse dialog.
If anyone has any recommendations, feel free to launch some my way.

I was going to say "Wait, aren't burqa bans more a French thing?" but then I remembered, it's Qubec. Doing the Old Country proud in the worst way, I guess.

Stand-up comedy is a moral and cultural wasteland.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

I'd say he's less like Jesus and more like JFK, in that a bunch of people are convinced that if he hadn't died all the country's problems would have been solved forever and nothing will ever be as good as back then so why bother to do anything now.
Mohammed Mossadegh when viewed on his own terms: "Eh, ok. He's a run-of-the-mill prime minister in a semi-authoritarian context who did some reforms, but was pretty bad at politics."

Y'know, I had my complaints with it, but at the time I thought that Metroid Dread was basically an okay game. But I genuinely couldn't even remember it's name for like five minutes this morning,so maybe I found it more disappointing than I realized. I guess that means Prime 4 has a lower bar for me.

The next secretary of defense needs to be as far away from Hegseth as humanly possible. I'd pick a quiet teetotaling librarian woman who collects stuffed animals and has a tiny Uresei Yatsura tattoo that she will deny the existence of.
I’m starting to get the sense that it was a bad idea to put a deeply insecure, sexual assaulting Fox News host with a drinking problem and a crusader tattoo who said he was into war crimes in charge of the military.
