The Dread Geometry

It's so good. It's so fun.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Yeah it's great when someone makes the processes of setting up a ttrpg fun like this.

And the worlds end up so interesting with more than one hand at the wheel!

My buddy Klaus just came out with his worldbuilding ttrpg.
I've played it many times already.
It's built around the idea that you build a world collaboratively together by roleplaying as patrons in taverns, telling stories to each other.

That show is really doing some cool stuff. I truly do not know what to expect.

Wreck of the U.S.S. Needle is such a hard fuckin' song.

A lot of female dogs have a very "if you touch me without my permission I'm going to put you on the ground" attitude with male dogs that I think is very valuable and beautiful.

I respect the hell out of her for choosing her principles over the life of toothless celebrity the establishment tried to offer her.

Greta Thunberg is hardcore tho, this theory can't necessarily account for her.

The more I think about it, the more it seems like the social and economic structure of celebrity is inherently deradicalizing. That pressure can be resisted but not relieved. Celebeities can never tell you how to have a revolution because they are structurally dissuaded from those ideas.

Well have you heard people say "clanker with a hard R?" because I have.

Pretty incredible own goal by liberal institutions and many Democratic electeds to crush the exact type of protests in 2024 that would’ve been the most effective way to slow or stop ICE incursions into American cities in 2025

Hostility towards Greta Thunberg continues to be an AMAZINGLY reliable red flag, especially when it comes to guys, and not just on the Right.

Also he deployed federal troops against the Whiskey Rebellion.

I may be late to the party on this but have y'all heard Mares of Thrace? Holy goddamn. The Loss is one of thrle rawest, heaviest albums I've ever heard.

Corporate social media is an unmitigated disaster.

I keep getting banned from reddit for being mean to racists.

Assata Shakur's death (rest in power) is going to make it so much harder to hear people performatively lamenting that tiny faced fascist fuck who died a bit ago.

Someone actually cool and important died but instead we're gonna have candle light vigils for a guy whose job was bullying college kids.

To be famous is to be surveilled, and it is going to become clear in the coming years that even smart, well-meaning people can't escape the panoptic force of the surveillance of celebrity.

This is, I believe, the source of our 'civility' delusions.

Yeah it seems lile that whole story was predicated on taking the CPD's word for a lot of shit, which I am gonna have to decline to do. Jussie Smollett being innocent is my one pet conspiracy theory.

I create stuff all the time.

I love how the accusation is that we're trying to create something different than what exists. This guy really broke centrism down to its fundamentals.

Liberals desire to delegate their liberation to someone else has driven them mad.

I spent like half an hour figuring it out, which was surprisingly long. They tried real hard to hide that button.

Capitalism is Organized Crime The real gangsters don’t have to get their hands dirty—they have police and courts and prisons to do their dirty work for them. They don’t have to run drugs or guns or illegal gambling rings—they run everything else. They can afford to let us choose between politicians, so long as the political system itself enforces their privileges. Some of us can join their ranks if we’re enterprising enough, as long as we participate in their racket and play by their rules. Rivalries play out between different gangs, but nothing threatens gang rule. If a mafia took over our entire society, would it be any different?

Donald Trump said he would "run the country like a business." Now we see what that means: censorship, sycophancy, despotism—just like in a workplace.

Wasn't it the capitalist economy that put power in the hands of these aspiring autocrats in the first place?

Hate Trump? You should hate capitalism.

Haha it's not that exciting. Me and a buddy used to vault over picnic tables mostly.

Remember when I used to do parkour? Lmao

I think watching people lionize a dead nazi because they're too fucking stupid to bother looking up what he said and believed has really damaged my faith in the public.

I'm scolding you, you lunatic.

End of thread if anyone had any sense. Cold fact.
