American life is truly dogshit right now. Here are some things I have recently enjoyed:

— Stale Bread
— Water without any Ice
— The newest season of The Simpsons
— Aaaaand Dirt

being a harry potter adult is so cringe i am not sorry find something else

As much as I am anti-remake, the amount of effort is impressive enough to maybe make me crack on these ones

Symptom of a lot of people’s inability to understand storytelling

Halloween nails, it was yesterday but whatever

#art #artists

It never fails to surprise me when I do things like playing game series in release order, or when I go and play the first game in a series to see what it was about.

And of course, I pledge far more loyalty to artists than IPs, the people behind the art are the real magicians.

The best lesson I have ever learned is that “art should be made not for the widest audience, but for the artist” which is why I like to experience the unpopular shit, I like to go find the shit everyone hates or pretends doesn’t exist
Its genuinely allowed me a unique view on many works of art

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

Blue Collar/Working Class has long since become an aesthetic to most. A guy who owns a construction company and makes six figures is working class because he wears work boots and jeans. A barista at a coffee shop is a member of the elite because Pronouns and Big City

Women's suffering and men's suffering is not the same. Men can't handle being mildly lonely without creating a cultural panic about it, but women are raped by Men like this one all the time and nothing is done to the actual offenders.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Remember this when conservatives say anything about how money indicates success or hard work

This is what they see as just and right, that a woman should get rich by getting fifth fucking place and deciding she wants to revoke the living rights of trans women

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.

Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Echoing Janus: DON'T SIT THIS ONE OUT, DON'T ASSUME ZOHRAN'S GOT IT IN THE BAG, GO OUT AND VOTE AND GET YOUR STICKER

every day the transphobes tell me something new about trans people that is basically the equivalent of those rubber bracelets the media told everyone meant sex stuff in 2004

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Hey so has anyone ever put together the idea that Microsoft’s boom in their console era in the mid-2000s was a side effect of the unreplicated post-9/11 xenophobia and Americacentrism and that the Xbox has always been the project of filthy Microsoft racists or is that a tinfoil hat theory

What’s happening with SNAP is filling me with the same feeling of dread, despair, and “the old world is rapidly dying” that I haven’t felt since COVID. Millions upon millions of Americans starving (many of which children) is something that is going to completely break down the social order in the US

"Women are not usually into science fiction"is legitimately one of the stupidest, most divorced from reality sentences I have ever read in my life

uh, that’s not “reimagining” the novel. that’s…the novel.
