I'll go further, and say that your art is one of the most important things. Even now. Especially now.
Realize that most of our major technologies are used to consume and create art.
Survival is important, but what makes life worth surviving? Human connection and expression.

People are convinced that grimdark worlds are more "realistic" but I disagree. In the worst places and conditions and places on earth, people have found ways to create joy and meaning, to foster hope and goodwill, move forward.
Giving in and accepting is only one response to the world's horrors.

I've yet to find a fandom that hasn't descended into a miserable hater's club and I'll never understand why that's what people want
So many people are using the internet to create hater fan clubs and I’m just baffled. I know I have less cerebral RAM than most with ADHD, but I can’t imagine watching even ONE less AMV to spend any energy in commiserating with strangers about how much I dislike someone I’ve never met.

The formal rules of the TTRPG you are playing are there to evoke and to guide the conversation.
What are we talking about?
How are we talking about it?
What are the common constraints and rules we agree to?
This allows our different internal rules to meet at the table.

It’s very simple. Genuinely very simple. Until Section 230, it was the case that any website that allowed a user to publish any content of any kind could be sued if they said *anything* libelous or bad. That includes web hosts, blogging platforms, social media etc.

Not going to get into specifics because I don't want to get into a discussion of the actual story but seeing a comic story tossed off as "Well it's fun and good and all but doesn't matter to continuity so you should just skip it" hurts me in my god-damned bones. Fun! Good! That means "Read it!"

Every decision these giant companies have made in the last week have reenforced the same thought in my head:
It's more important now that ever to make new things, things you own, things that are queer, things that express the parts of yourself that are hard to just say out loud.

Elsagate 2: this time the mouse gets a cut
Absolutely no way that Disney doesn't come to regret AI user-generated content of their characters openai.com/index/disney...
The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI reach landmark agreement to bring beloved characters from across Disney’s brands to Sora
Agreement marks a significant step in setting meaningful standards for responsible AI in entertainment.

Real disappointing to see @trahan.house.gov on the yea list
As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

A quick and dirty way to start sussing this out is to ask yourself, “Is this person really trying to help a group of people or does it look like they’re trying to punish someone right now, in this moment?”
Yeah. Sometimes, behind all the bellowing and bluster and fluency in social justice verbiage, you might observe a person’s behavior and realize their vision of justice is just “When is it my turn at the top? When is it my turn to do the violence?”

I wanna say "I know a mimic when I see one", but the whole point is that you don't
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

No way this is an isolated case, IMO.
insane local news just dropped. i've lived in a part of KC for ~decade and it's been an inside joke with friends and service workers that the local biz/party district is ran by a cartel of biz owners who bully out new ventures and replace them with generic dive bars for white suburbanites.

I need to finish Expedition 33 before Metroid comes out this week.
That means I need to not get sidetracked by the terrifying super sideboss whom I'll never beat.
But what if I try 17 more bad builds? Surely there's time...

Right now is the time to support primaries for any do-nothing Ds. We've got an incredible chance to win a bunch of seats in 2026. Let's fill them with fighters, not chumps.
What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.
