Yup. My entire clan picked up and moved here in the 70s and 80s. I'm not abandoning them.

If gentiles would stop assuming all religions are re-skinned Christianity a lot of things - including this website - would be a lot less insufferable.

Also real quick:

Engaging in "fake joke irony" racism has been shown to lead to real ass racism.

Even against machines.

It's in 2 parts:
1. The human brain fuckin LOVES habits, repeating a joke long enough will form a habit.
2. Real racists use ironic racism as a cover to launder real racism.

TLJ was great because it was built on the greatest of all Jedi traditions: if you make one mistake, immediately move to a backwater planet in the ass end of nowhere and live forevermore in exile. Yoda did it, Obi-Wan did it, and when it was Luke's turn, he stepped up (and out).

I think people who have never worked in moderation or community management on a large platform shouldn’t start or run them because they don’t get the fundamental rule:

When you decide to host a party, you don’t get to enjoy the party the way that a guest does.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

There is a tree in Nashville that I'm pretty sure was pulled up into a tornado when it was a sapling, but it had strong roots and it survived. I visit it every time I'm at Centennial Park. When I first moved here, it was barely taller than me, and now it's an adult!

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

The single most incredible thing about Bluesky is that everything it once was/could possibly still be is considered an unpleasant aberration at best by the people in charge. 18 months ago, I would have happily shelled out for a premium sub to support this site, now I’m circling the drain yet again
