my rule is if it's good art, go for it.

I have Ellie's Tat from TLOU2... got it before I realized all of the background shit that makes it and Druckmann so rough.

Still a gorgeous tat, tho, yk?

Silent Hill 4 is still, I think, vastly underrated with this - maintaining the themes and aura of that town without having to cart us about the big spots.

Find your members of Congress, tell them that protecting healthcare for all Americans, particularly trans people, is a red line issue for you. Tell them you will hold them accountable at the ballot box.

Part of me thinks, perhaps way too fuckin hopefully, that if they lose just a couple more times, these morons will accept they dont know shit and get with the program.

This is way too hopeful ik

"We have to preserve our sources! If that means Heiling Hitler to be good little party bugs then so be it!"

Fairness doctrine has metastasized into "we have to give equal coverage to truth and fascist fictions"

They've permitted it to become that way. Also, they have to be, bc so many of them are now owned by billionaires with a vested interest in minimization.

This isn't serious, get back to scrolling and shopping and labouring.

Like Liberals said all this shit and there were protests but NOTHING HAPPENED. THEY DID NOTHING TO STOP OR LIMIT HIM.

Scalia died and they let McConnell ratfuck it, and then RBG dropped and they again let the supposed evil fascists ratfuck it again. Hard to have faith in the opps' sincerity.

J.M. Henson @jhensliterature.bsky.social · 14d

He doesn't. He's thinking about making the economy good FOR HIM.

Children below a certain mental age are incapable of theory of mind. If he profits, then certainly everybody does (except for the losers and chumps who are always losers and chumps, did you know that, folks?)

I think the biggest problem we have is that the hyperbolic language was thrown out wildly during Trump I... when he was still much more bound by norms and adults in the room. It sucked, but it wasn't this bad... and now people are scared of being viewed as reactionary twice over.

Evil Orc Heart @evanurquhart.bsky.social · 14d

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

honestly my most toxic trait is no matter how productive I am or how many words I write or how many things I clean or whatever, I never feel like I've done anything.
