every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught

This is a good thread on a group of obvious scammers that are — somehow — insanely popular among people who (correctly!) regarded QAnon with contempt

This edit was sitting in my brain for years.
An edit of the "I GUESS" comic meme. A doodle of legion from the Mass Effect series of games. In the first panel he is standing with his arms crossed. In the second panel he is throwing his arms up and saying "I GETH".

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.
"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape? The money lenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can."

you can set your watch by it lol, feels like people are forever coming back around to this angle whenever a term like 'romantasy' gets coined. they're just unstoppable. women have been writing SFF as far back as the concept begins, this cannot be a surprise. it's not new. even 'romantasy' isn't new

I am extremely annoyed by The Guardian claiming 'Romantasy has reclaimed the geeky fantasy dominion for women, celebrating female friendship, agency and sexuality'.
This skewed view stems from the ongoing erasure of women writers in SF&F through fewer reviews, omission from 'Best of' lists etc etc

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay
No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Here’s a common scam going around that you should know about: Sometimes cats will meow at you like they haven’t been fed, but in fact someone DID feed them, and they’re just trying to get fed again- stay alert! 🚨

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

boosting the Cisgender Women Against Bathroom Bans petition again, please sign and share if you missed it the first time around! It’s at a little under 8,500 signatures now and we would love to try to get it to 10,000 by the weekend!

actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...
On November 20th, Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a federal trans bathroom ban under the title of the "Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act." While this began as an attempt to bar newly-elected Representative Sarah McBride of Delaware from using the women's restroom in her own place of work as a legislator - which is unacceptable on its own merits - it will not end there. Speaker Johnson's decree in support of Mace's proposal reiterated the same argument: that this is an act designed to protect women, to keep us safe, because "women deserve women's only spaces." To introduce this legislation on the International Transgender Day of Remembrance - a day commemorating trans people worldwide who have died due to hate and violence - is appalling. To pretend Mike Johnson and the House GOP care about the safety of women, given the candidate they just elected and the Cabinet nominations he continues to make, is beyond naive. Over the past several years, as trans bathroom bans have been enacted in communities across the country, we have seen firsthand the cascading negative effects. No one is made safer by this. Certainly trans youth are not, as we saw firsthand from the shocking, violent death of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary youth in Oklahoma who complied with exactly such a bathroom restriction and was brutally beaten by classmates in February of this year. But even the women and girls these bills purport to protect are at increased risk; this legislation empowers individuals with narrow definitions of gender presentation to appoint themselves bathroom cops, and harass anyone they do not believe is publicly performing the role of womanhood correctly. Lesbians and butch women, women who are unusually tall, women who have short hair, women who wear baggy or "masculine" clothes, women of color in professional sports whose bodies are critiqued for their strength, even simply women who wear baseballs caps: all of this is sufficient evidence for increased harassment. This is not even a new phenomenon; there are news stories of exactly these cases going back to the bathroom bans of 2016. It will not just be Rep. McBride who suffers for this; it will be your own congressional staff - anyone who is queer, trans, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, or simply does not fit the stereotype of female physical appearance - whose workplace harassment you would be enabling if Mace's proposal is allowed to pass. The people who make women's restrooms unsafe are people like Nancy Mace, who are banking on the silent complicity of other cisgender women to support the lie that the majority of us feel safer and more comfortable with trans people pushed out of our spaces. The end goal of trans bathroom bans is not limited to who uses which bathroom; it is a way to test the public's compliance with eradicating trans and nonbinary people from public spaces altogether. In the wake of the recent presidential election loss, it seems clear that it is also a test of the moral backbone of the Democratic Party, and whether we will choose to abandon our progressive values for the sake of expedience and permit more Nex Benedicts to suffer.
