"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

No deity is more feared than ARARARARAR, God of FIRE and EVIL, yet even the most loathsome gods have followers. These followers conducted a ritual that summoned a spark of their dread god's endlessly burning essence into the mortal plane, allowing him to sire a child--ARESTE, DAUGHTER OF FLAME.

No kid of mine is going to college and waste my money on a useless major like computer engineering! Study something practical, like art history or anthropology, so you can get a goddamn JOB!

For countless millennia, before the ascendance of humanity, THE GREAT BEAST SHOGGULA was worshipped by primordial empires such as Eskragor and the Serpent Hegemony. Massive bleak temples were built in Shoggula’s honor and the frog-like god grew fat on sacrifices and faith.

THE FACE TAKER gained his title from the leathery cloak of moaning human faces draped across his shoulders. His flesh-melting touch allows him to rip the faces from his victims’ skulls and add them to his grisly cloak. The Face Taker’s origins are uncertain;

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

In the murky mists of prehistory there was an age of demi-gods, the spawn of incomprehensible elder beings birthed from the loins of the earliest humans. These demigods rampaged across the world as though it were their playground, none moreso than MANDAGOR THE MIGHTY.

What's this? We only just launched a Kickstarter, and the Million-Colored Sun RPG's unpaid intern has already run out of marketing ideas? This is embarrassing. We may need a new intern.
This is day 2 of me posting about the Vault of Villainy Kickstarter every day for 14 days. How to keep things fresh and interesting? I'll have to think it over . . . For now, here's a link . . . www.kickstarter.com/projects/lei...

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:
-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc
