You know I'm starting to come around on the idea of bathroom bills. I think before you enter a public bathroom you should have to provide proof that you didn't vote for a possible pedophile who bragged about assaulting women. Because if you did, I don't trust you around women or children.

I dunno but I bet they'll have wild theories as to why some plaques are smaller than others (YouTube reduced the size a year or two back, for the record).

Need to find time to rewatch Castlevania.
"Lies in your house of God? No wonder he has abandoned you."
"You must be the Belmont."
"Killing you was the point. Living through it was just a luxury."
"Are you dictating your fucking obituary to me?"
"I learned something about sin. I learned to like it."

Not shocked since I noticed VideoGamer had been turned over to gambling adjacent slop articles last year when I was following up on The Escapist.

Kind of surprised it took them this long to just fire the real writers to be honest.

Truth is our weapon
YouTube video by Council of Geeks Truth is our weapon

Today we're going to talk about why some tactics of the right, in this particular case misinformation and disinformation, cannot be added to our arsenal against them.

(Big shout out to Joel, my thumbnail guy, who had to redraw this panel so it'd be the right proportions)

Taking a look at the latest adaptation of an Agatha Christie mystery. It's got a solid cast, but is that enough?

No, I won't say who, because I'm not trying to actually start drama I'm just fucking venting because this is the second time already this fucking year.

If you follow them you'll have seen it, and if not then what does it matter to you?

For the love of FUCK, you can make jokes about a magic school WITHOUT referencing Harry fucking Potter, it's not that fucking hard!

Add another one to the list of "wholesome creators for everybody" who can't fucking stop referencing HP in a positive way.

That moment when it's your birthday month and you feel good about having put together a wishlist that isn't on Amazon... and then realize you did intended for your spicy account (with the selected items fitting that) and you lack the spoons to make one it's ok to share on main.

I didn’t know Microslop was a thing until I saw headlines about Microsoft trying to ban Microslop on its Discord. Now I shall say Microslop a lot. That’s how it works.

It’s good when Microsoft, a company that likes genocide and environmental destruction, doesn’t like things.

I went through this when I said the excessive swearing in Hazbin Hotel flattened the characters and that having your pure sunshine character swear as casually as your oversexed character doesn’t gel.

Fuck off and keep fucking off until you’ve reached fuck of central.

If you want me angry, just say my noting that nudity in a piece of art is exploitative is because I’m a prude.

Fuck yourself with the closest unsanded wooden object.

Finding an SA victim’s tits being displayed for an extended period as she’s being assaulted gross doesn’t mean someone is a prude.

The UK government is looking to make legal for AI companies that which any ordinary citizen could be taken to court for. It is on the cusp of approving theft *only* in this case, a truly unequivocal β€œrules for thee, not for me” scenario.

That AI needs such special treatment indicts it utterly.
