Instead of "X person is a great game designer" there was a lot of ✨Black Excellence✨ talk. Which meant that sometimes the connections you made were not because *you* were good at what you did, but because someone needed to fill their Infinity PoC gauntlet with a palatable Black person. Palatable.

The constitutional remedy for a president who uses collective punishment against people for the crimes of a few is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by a criminal trial.
The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.
Some folks call it blended colours, others call it smoky shading, but you know - sfumayto, smufato
"while the constitution provides for a navy and army, it provides no grant of authority to create an air force. In this essay I will"
A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live."

Did the X-Men ever try to get around mutant registration laws by simply declaring mutant powers to be arms, and thus not to be infringed?
They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it.

He lies, he blames the reader, then he blames bsky for not banning the "trolls", then feels righteous because people are yelling at him.
Stupidity this enormous and this toxic deforms the world around it and makes everything harder.
in lots of contexts they have the same meaning, but in this specific context where the whole point is to distinguish private charity from a socialist mutual aid group it clearly has utility.
Going “nuh uh” I refuse to use your vocab so we’ll just talk in circles for days is not very fruitful
There you go, I hope you understand the difference now, and that you look up what "privatization" actually is, since Will doesn't know but is happy to use the word to demonize good things.
Socialist government is a public library
Mutual aid is a street library
Charity is a book drive
Agreed, but then Will went too far and said insane shit.
As others said in the replies, this happens in marketing-speak, and occasionally I see artists and creators internalise marketing so hard they think it is real. Do I think straight white dudes are suffering? No. Have I wanted to punch someone who told me to "write my disability"? Fuck yes.
You’re almost never going to outcompete a dishwasher in efficiency — it reuses water, does a better job at cleaning, saves time. One of the biggest W’s in the history of technology.
The interesting thing about this argument that "if you give things to voters to vote for you, a billionaire will just out spend you to get elected" is that no billionaire has ever actually done this. They deal in pork, of course, but nobody has ever given everyone in Chicago a house.
