Imagine writing about the relationship between Malcolm and Cole in The Sixth Sense without addressing the fact Malcolm's dead the whole time.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

No shade to any of the Vertigo relaunch writers, but this is what the lineup looks like with me no longer in it, lol.

Like if you think that comment was in poor taste, please, please don't ever read any of your own books from the late 80s and see what Peter Milligan and Grant Morrison got up to.

I gotta say, it's a bit rich relaunching Vertigo, "Comics! They're not just for kids!", after being lily livered cowards who hurled a trans writer under the bus for making a Kirk joke.

hmm this Art. it speaks to me

screenshot from tumblr. username @matthewsiji.com says "It's 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousness of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4"

username crazy-pages reblogs with the added note: "I can't decide if it's better if they're not really uploaded into the cloud, they just all tricked themselves into thinking a GPT model trained on their brain is them, so she's playing with their fake echoes in a macabre imitation of the immortality they deluded themselves into believing they had. Or if they're real and she's just about to torment them forever"

anyway one of the things that essentially happens is borges invents the idea of the bodhisattva from first principles; which made this entry on wikipedia Much Funnier and also the description of bodhisattvas as “buddhist saints” even more devastatingly funny

jesus himself suffers judas’ betrayal and earns the adoration of the world; judas betrays christ and becomes the only person who is perceived as being beyond both mercy and redemption. this is the redemptive sacrifice in the bible, not the crucifixion.

read a borges story (“the three judas’” or something like that) which i was profoundly moved by; short thing about an academic who wrote three books about judas, reaching the conclusion essentially that god‘s incarnation was judas and not jesus, as

the other is that the only real social “solution” to it as a “disorder” is being bare minimum thoughtful and empathetic of others, and willing to accomodate simple requests

i think some of it is that it’s a totally random die roll, re: whether or not your kid can manifest it, and that die roll happens just the same for rich families that it does for poor families

mastodon's problem is that it's a site built for people who view "ease of use" as a luxury and not a requirement for people to want to adopt and use your tool
