Spent some of my Christmas money on the KatVR set-up with all the bells and whistles. If this can’t get me to work out, nothing will.

Hardcore MAGA family member bought @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s “On Tyranny” as a Christmas present for their equally MAGA spouse. I am WHEEZING. I don’t think that book is what she thinks it’s about.

If this is what finally wakes them up, I’m going to send Snyder a fruit basket or something. 🤣

I’m surprised that people are shocked that Noam Chomsky is a piece of shit, considering his long, storied history of being a massive tankie.
Noam Chomsky | Vatnik Soup
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce an American author and academic, Noam Chomsky. He’s best-known for his long history as a political commentator and left-wing activist, and for his staunch critic...

I don’t mind ✝️s coming into Hellenist spaces with genuinely open 💕 and 🧠 and a curiosity about our beliefs.

But we can tell when you’re “asking questions” in bad faith, and I promise you, you *don’t* want to start hyping blind faith to people who believe that even our gods are wrong sometimes.

I’ve been trying for like three days to play one of the side missions in Hitman where one of the special conditions is “don’t get caught,” and I now know how Markiplier felt in his “Getting Over It” videos.

Stayed up way too late last night making notes for a potential Unholy Trinity prequel from Michael’s point of view…and I don’t even know if I can bring myself to write it because it’s a big risk, characterization-wise.

Can my brain at least chill until we sort things out with the first book?

My 14 year old niece won first place in a short story contest over the weekend (beating out six adults!) and I am simultaneously so stinkin’ proud of her, and really salty that her literary career is officially more successful than mine. 🫣🥹

“For the interests of rulers require that their subjects should be poor in spirit, and that there should be no strong bond of friendship or society among them, which love, above all other motives, is likely to inspire, as our Athenian tyrants learned by experience.”

Weird how it’s always the people who already get my hackles up who end up telling me I shouldn’t trust my intuition about people. 🙃

Gods, seeing that Berlin and Athens, my two favorite cities on the planet, were marching in solidarity with the American resistance yesterday, is making me tear up in the best way. 🇩🇪🩷🇬🇷

I have a joke about chemistry, but I table it periodically.
I have a book of 404 jokes but I can't find it
I have a joke about bread, but it's gotten kind of stale.

Mostly walking, under the cover of night because they’re trying to flee the country without getting caught by the militia.

But there’s also two helicopter rides, so that’s fun. 🚁

All these tantrums about a half-time act that sings in Spanish…I think it’s an excellent time to resurrect the “that’s so sad, Alexa, play ‘Despacito’” meme.

Sophie just wanted to keep to herself, worship Socrates, crush on her ethics professor, and get out of grad school with her sanity intact. So why is she testifying at The Hague about being tricked into aiding and abetting crimes against humanity?

THE FIRST CIRCLE x REAL GENIUS

A found family of scientists flees the country when the truce collapses between the two governments that both claim it. But when they discover the strings attached to their asylum, their loyalty to the truth may cost them everything.

Not impressed with what I’ve seen of the new #CallofDuty from the beta. If I wanted futuristic shit, I’d go replay Infinite Warfare. The whole draw of Black Ops is Woods/Mason/Adler’s generation. The Cold War intrigue. If there’s flashback missions in the campaign, I might get it, but otherwise? Ew.
