It's actually really impressive how much of where we got to right now stems from the top legal and political scholars in our media just declaring "well if that's true then the left is right, and we know they're not, so that isn't true" for like, thirty years

Drawtober prompt: Candlelit Messenger.

"Be careful traveller. The Messenger never brings good news."

Image shows a dark, green-blue forest with someone standing on an outcrop. A huge being covered in tiny candles carefully hands them a letter. The light from the candles is pale and orange in the dark. The picture is drawn in digital pencil and watercolour.

Begging people not to sleep on Baby Steps amid all the other huge launches this month. It’s a monumental achievement.

Still gathering more articulate thoughts but. Fuck. It absolutely changed me.

It’s a delight. Open world games thrive on the promise of what might be over the next horizon - Baby Steps just makes you work for it.

Struggling to think of any game that hits its tone harder and faster than Baby Steps

Hell of a way to find out Spike Lee is an Arsenal supporter.

Caught today’s @arsenalfc.bsky.social match with Spike Lee in Fort Greene (not a sentence I ever thought I'd get to write).

Zohran with his hands in the prayer position, while Spike Lee bangs on the wall behind him.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

For non-Brits: Our political/media class bet absolutely everything on it being fine to demonise and destroy the anti-racist left, who were getting too big for their boots, because the Sensible Moderates could co-opt and control the racist right. And they have now fucked it into the upper ionosphere.

Starter playing Lancer a couple of months ago. I have always been a huge Gundam nerd.
Here's my character: Devon Winters.

Not intended as a proper Everest design, heh, that would deserve it's own focus!

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

It’s just a 45 degree angle, Michael, how difficult could it be?

Jeff Tanton @jefftanton.bsky.social · Sep 10

For sure. Sometimes that reward can just be a beautiful new vista - but I think you maybe mentioned that Silksong is still reaching for its City of Tears moment.

To determine which bugs drop rosaries in Silksong, you simply need to figure out which ones know about, and thus fear, God.
