I think science fiction needs a resection/excision. The old white male "fans" are a tumor on the genre. A very malignant tumor.

What do we do with tumors? Cut them out.

Conventions, stop inviting these racist, sexist, hateful people to be on panels. You know who these people are, or can find out.

What to do 1. Contact your doctor immediately or go to the nearest emergency room. Explain that you had a colonoscopy and did not wake up from the anesthesia.

I think one of the major contributing factors to the young right wing is that they didn't grow up with WWII vets.

Its all cosplay and whataboutism to them. They didn't play with kids whose parents had camp tattoos, or learn from old men who still cried from PTSD. 1/?

The Kototoi Bridge spanning the Sumida River in Tokyo. As per Wikipedia, during the firebombing of Tokyo on March 10, 1945: "In a particularly deadly incident the full bomb load of a B-29 landed in a crowd of civilians crossing the Kototoi Bridge over the Sumida River, burning hundreds of people to death."

remember: Curtis LeMay is burning in hell, and this is the site of just one of the reasons why

I'm Choking On A Kalamata Olive, Not Your Everyday Olive Oh, my. This is superb. Superb, indeed. My Greek grocer Kostas told me he had a surprise for me, and he certainly did: These are quite simply the finest kalamata olives I’ve ever tasted. Absolutely de...

This is the game they're playing, folks. It was never about the content of the games they targeted, it was never about protecting anyone, it was about pushing the goalposts, weakening our protections, and ATTACKING individuals and groups they don't like.

It only gets worse from here if we let it 💀🤬

An entrance to Verny Park in Yokosuka, Japan. From behind a clutch of flowers, a plugged main gun salvaged from the Imperial Japanese battleship Mutsu just forth.

more parks need to be guarded by the 16-inch gun of a goddamn battleship

shibuya? more like shiBOOya because it's terrifying to be surrounded by that many people

that is the source of a significant chunk of Canada's problems, for one

fuck did something new happen

I stand out in Japan for two reasons: because I'm white, and because I have zero style

That this comes at a time where the public as a whole has become far more cynical regarding the Tech industry - the so-called "techlash" - has only intensified their rage and frustration.

They were SUPPOSED to be immortal god-kings! Why is this happening?!

Pointing again to my thread about how everything go on in Silicon Valley right now is downstream of aging tech billionaires panicking over 2000s-2010s life extension tech research not working out and suddenly facing the fact that they may actually die

on further wandering, it really does come down to whether a place is built and scaled for humans

Yokosuka is half the size of the city I live in but feels twice as big

Better things are possible, but god forbid they ever happen in Canada

I was wondering how long it would take after landing at Narita to encounter Hatsune Miku and it turned out to be before I'd even left the secure section of the airport

and it worked! I got a full night of sleep and it's only 4 AM

here's one easy way to beat jet lag: just stay up for twenty-four hours straight and lose track of what day it is

not even ninety minutes in Japan and already I am not beating the baka gaijin allegations

(thought I had bought all necessary Narita Express tickets when in fact I had not)

took almost twenty years but I fukken made it
