“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

I'm so glad you're getting good use out of it! 🥰🐉🖌️

always gotta be them Apolitical/Centrists

the apathetic status quo enjoyers who are perhaps the most insidious force 🙃

The flames may not always burn consistently bright, but the embers stay warm. I also like to think that that means something.

There are moments when I don't know if I'm sliding back or not, but acknowledging that I've come some sort of way, looking at the fire and feeling the heart of it that's been kindled - I like to think that core progress is hard to fully extinguish.

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy Is Disease, Starvation and Death

Reading @michellegoldberg.bsky.social's excellent column makes me feel physically ill. The depth of the cruelty in Musk is simply unfathomable. He should never know another moment's peace. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Not to knock David Lim/Ah Tas Muffins in any way, their muffins taste pretty damn good! Just highlighting the reality of living in Singapore where the rat race to the capitalist peak even reaches MUFFINS.

Advertisement pamphlet for Ah Tas Muffins in Singapore, proclaiming their use of Danish Butter, Belgian Chocolate, and how the muffins are Handmade & Baked Fresh Daily! Additionally, it proudly shows how it is both halal and health board "healthier choice" certified, as well as having been featured on various local news outlets with an image of the owner being interviewed for proof.

The reverse of the previous Ah Tas Muffins ad, now advertising Ah Tas Properties, with the bold text "Discover the Best Selling Price for Your Property: How to spot undervalued properties and upgrade your asset wealth". The Ah Tas Muffins logo, a muffin, now has a door and two windows. It also shows an image of a vaguely smiling David Lim, with a bubble next to it showing the sign "Serangoon Garden Market" (the location of Ah Tas Muffins). Underneath that, it reads "Convenient discussion at Serangoon Garden Market or at your location", alongside the contact details. The ad also touts that it has a connection to PropNex, "Singapore's Largest Real Estate Agency - a team with vast & extensive knowledge, proven results"

Found the perfect example of the Singaporean Grift™ (which tbf is endemic to hypercapitalist cities that experienced very quick growth and not just SG), but I just had to keep this pamphlet for cyberpunk-adjacent inspo because it's PERFECT

I’ve seen the PAP’s campaign in this election described as “gentlemanly”, in the sense that there were no dirty tricks like smear campaigns savaging their opponents, threats or harassment, not even a POFMA.

But if it really were “gentlemanly” then the rules of the game wouldn’t be so unfair.

natevince Suggested for you Following 50.4K 1,551 Liked by dianettewells and others natevince Heartbroken and Confused! I was terminated on Valentines Day from my dream job. 48 weeks ago I started my permanent NPS position as Yosemite's new Locksmith. y I apprenticed under the previous locksmith the 4 years before his retirement. He had a wonderful carrier of 23 years with NPS. He said, "This is a good job Nate, the park can't run without a locksmith, do your job well and your'll always have job." Well now 3 weeks short of my probationary period l've been fired. I've had exemplary performance and am essential for park operations. The people that fired me don't know who I am, or what I do. They simply don't understand this park and how big and complex it is.

I need to immediately move out of housing, I have lost my career and I have NO PLAN. This was my dream! All of my eggs were in this basket and I planned to stay till retirement. I had an appointment to meet a realtor today, but canceled, everything has been flipped upside down. I'm scared I?????????????????????!!!!!!??????????????????] I was terminated at 1:15pm 2/14/2025 via email. Yosemite National Park the size of Rhode Island and has more locks than a small city, and without a locksmith I'm deeply concerned for the safety and security of the park and people in it. This is not right! -1 @nytimes @nationalparkservice @yosemitenps @outsidemagazine @nationalparkfoundation @natgeo @sfchronicle @meidastouch @washingtonpost #iwantmyjobback #iloveyosemite #nps #unemployed

The deranged DOGE rats have fired Yosemite National Park’s *locksmith*.

pushing at the edges of real just enough to unsettle (our fundamental knowledge of the way things work)

not space marines or magic elves but off enough to make you actively question what you know, w/o you even realising, per se

🤔🤔🤔🤔

but I wanna explore subtlety.

Twin Peaks and Disco Elysium are great at this.
Unconscious conscious questioning

probing at the edges of the known/reality

presenting a fundamental difference in make-up of the world to be uncovered/explored

i guess this is why fantasy/scifi rocks me socks tbh

You like the idea of people coming together (literally, figuratively) and finding that other half of weird. Requited resolutions.
You think snakes are hot so idk if you'd fall anywhere on a "scaly scale" but it's maybe something you'd consider??
