“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

We Lived Happily during the War And when they bombed other people's houses, we protested but not enough, we opposed them but not enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house- I took a chair outside and watched the sun. In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us) lived happily during the war.

"in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money,
our great country of money, we (forgive us)

lived happily during the war."

- Ilya Kaminsky

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

Forgive me

homoquartz Follow i've warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises. as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it's just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we're small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, "i'm not here to hurt you. here's something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we're on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i'm being light-hearted and non-threatening right now." small talk isn't to get to know a person. it's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it. the owl shit When I was a kid and would go hiking with my dad and sibling on vacation, every time we would pass another group, my dad would do the smile and nod and "hey". And then after we'd turned a corner, he would say more quietly, "I must make friendly social noises so they do not eat my young" and my sib and I would crack up laughing. Gotta remember that we're mammals under it all.

leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?

never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.

This woman is a dissident who survived an attempted assassination by state security, and would be internationally recognized as a hero for democracy if that happened in any other country

I’m pretty sure I’ve got that one; I’ll hafta dig it up and see if I can find out who did it.

You know which book it was? I’ve got copies of most of them lurking in my files, but I don’t remember seeing that one.

Thanks! It’s a riff on Trampier’s rakshasa pic from the AD&D Monster Manual. I do like how the hand came out; doing the reversed palm thing was a bit easier when I decided to do a more paw-styled hand. You gotta know when to cheese out, you know?

That’s a killer cover, btw. Who did the art?

A drawing of a tiger-demon smoking a pipe.

Neat! I’ve always like rakshasas. Here’s one I did a while back.
One of these days I’m gonna get to sicc one on my gaming crew.

Science is currently deciphering whale language, once we learn enough of it the first words out of our mouths should be something along the lines of; "we're sorry".

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

real talk -- my infectious disease prof used to tell us that if a virus was going to end the world, it wouldn't be a zombie virus

it would be tuberculosis

let that sink in

a man on an infectious disease advisory board for Obama said this shit is more likely to end the world than a zombie virus

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

On December 28, 2024, the IDF kidnapped Dr Hussam Abu Safiya from his post as pediatrician and director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. He had refused to abandon his patients. He has been held in Israeli prison without charges ever since, tortured, starved, refused family visits.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s social Ponzi scheme [FREE TO READ] New emails reveal the convicted sex offender’s ability to fulfil the wants and needs of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people

Excellent piece going through Epstein's photo wall.

If being rich makes you this stupid, this amoral, this selfish and numb and subhuman and unable to be satiated by normal pleasures, it would be a kindness to bring back the guillotine.

After the Columbian exchange, all food everywhere became Native American fusion food. So quickly, so thoroughly, that it is hard to even imagine their cuisines before tomatoes and chili peppers and potatoes.

But the recipes, the beloved dishes passed down across generations? Brutally erased.

Oh my, gang did you know that not having money makes you poor

If you saw a basketball team throw games this blatantly, you would call for them to lose their charter to the league.

They’re screaming “fuck ice” at wrestling matches and Chuck Schumer managed to use this leverage to negotiate against himself until the demand is “ here’s a bunch more money, can you guys please promise to not wear masks unless you really need to?”

Trump came groveling to Schumer, skywriting that the Democrats had all the leverage. Schumer's reaction was to immediately cave, keeping the government open and DHS funded for two weeks while Trump's minions could get their ideological house back in order, on the eve of another major ICE/CBP surge.

Another one for the “subtle as a motherfucker” files.

Communion There's no bread. The bakers have gone into hiding. The seats at the table are empty. The Twelve are out marching with the thousands. The streets are filled with a new song. Only Judas sits at Target Plaza, counting his silver, while Pontius Pilate issues a carefully-worded statement. Meanwhile, the centurions have quotas to fill. But out on the streets there's a Communion. Jesus takes the city in his hands and says, "This is my body, broken for you" Rob Hardy February 2, 2026

“This is my body, broken for you.”
