I found a pro-Calley country song when I was researching music about the Vietnam war and it’s one of the most chilling things I’ve ever heard, up there with that fuckin Darryl Worley song about how we need to invade Iraq

My favorite aikido practice partner asked me to help dojo marketing efforts and he’s about to regret that more than he’s ever regretted anything ehehehehehe

I’m 40, from the US, and the tone taken by my history textbooks re: My Lai was basically “well, pobody’s nerfect”

I understand that explaining war crimes to kids might be tough but it bothered me then and it bothers me still

Sometimes I think about how the total prison time from the My Lai Massacre was 3 days, and-

It’s fine to think this guy is silly or annoying or whatever but maybe don’t repost internet gossip from Nazis about him (this also goes for everyone on the internet you think is annoying)

Hasan shows off the “shock collar.”

And look at that, everyone attacking him looks like a fucking moron.

My ex completely ruined his life and has severe mental health problems that are more or less attributable to an increasingly uncontrolled drug addiction. He wasn’t a great person before but also didn’t believe the government had put a chip in his brain, so

I’m a believer in harm reduction as the best way to approach addiction buuuut when you’ve wandered into “look everyone’s got hobbies and sometimes those hobbies involve smoking yourself into a coma at 10am “ I think you perhaps should reel it in

“Plenty of people use drugs and they’re fine, actually” I don’t think you’ve ever had the experience of caring about someone in active addiction

would really like to go one day without seeing “well, fentanyl isn’t all that bad” shit from well-meaning people who do not live in areas with a lot of it

best description I heard of Sarah Ditum was a YouTuber referring to her as a “journalist…(sigh) I suppose”

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gondor," i holler as i overturn my uncle's funeral pyre and turn the 4th Age of Man into the 4th Age of Shit

Well, guess I’ve once again gotten people to assume that I’m interested in litigating their YouTube beef in my replies, so let me stress: NO. The only thing I find worse is people trying to pick Star Wars fights with me. Get hobbies. Touch grass

look he’s the one who put the words “this chonky boy, this absolute unit” in a story, not me

(Weirdly I like Tamsyn Muir, who’s equally internet poisoned, but my defense is she’s way less precious about it)

I listen to an otherwise-good anthology podcast that puts out his stories sometimes and every time I see his name on an episode it’s like finding weevils in my cheddar popcorn

I removed my post bc I don’t want to get into it with someone clearly determined to pick fights, but this was about Lindsay Ellis’s Gaza/Ms Rachel video. I think you can not like her overall approach or think she’s too lib or whatever but it’s patently insane to say “she thinks Gaza is fine actually

accusing me of parasocial whatever when you’re the one apparently name-searching YouTubers and trying to start shit on a weeks-old post sure is something, buddy

The “well actually” shit about Floyd absolutely relies on people not having watched the trial. I listened to that whole fucking thing as it went on and all the NeW EvIDeNce raised by these hacks is stuff already thoroughly picked apart by the prosecution

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

I keep eyeballing Marsu since it’s right across from my husband’s work and the menu looks incredible. Pretty good?

Admittedly the guy trying to fight the shrubbery by the Chinese buffet was a little funny but not so much when he was waving a penknife at me and yelling
