High Thot of the eXodus

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Whaaat? Good lord. RIP.

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

Hope you got the day off and that you're spending it doing something fulfilling, relaxing, and/or whatever you need!

A display of Coyote & Crow, the roleplaying game, Wolves, the cooperative board game, Naasii, the Coyote & Crow Dice Game, and a set of custom dice for the RPG. All created by Cherokee Nation citizen, Kenna Alexander.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we celebrate the heritage, beauty, and perseverance of hundreds of cultures and nations across North America that have thrived and endured here for thousands of years, and will be around for thousands more.

Yep! Jump often enough and you'll have OG Superman abilities and can leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Image is of a Black person in profile looking to the right of the frame. They have a spandex sleeve holding their shoulder-length locs in place and are wearing a navy blue trench coat. They're also holding a foam cutlass and looking concerned. The background is of a very small dock with homes and foliage in the distance.

Sometimes I get some damn good shots while LARPing.

Sorta kinda. Not nearly as much fun and whimsy as SR, but you get some satisfying weapons and abilities (and transforming vehicles!) towards the mid game.

It's vigilante copaganda, but a fun game overall with a decent (if mildly repetitive) game play loop.

Do not let these milquetoast white men content creators convince you that we are doomed. They are selling fear and profiting off of it. His health is failing. The cult has lost its momentum. The Epstein victims are actively making their case and trials will be happening, worldwide. The GOP is fighting amongst themselves about everything. Dems are winning their elections at federal and state levels. The military is being sent to cities to then stand around and get mocked. Judges have ruled it's illegal to be sent to blue cities in the first place. Alligator Alcatraz got shut down. They're desperate to hire people for ICE because people keep quitting. Protests are happening every week, everywhere. We are in a very scary and very chaotic time. Project 2025 is terrifying. People are being emboldened to be violent, and people are being traumatized and harmed. The country has been divided and damaged, but not beyond repair and rebuild. We will get through this, we can't just give up and comply in advance. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Mood. If I'm gonna be painted as the bad guy anyway...

Happy Bey-day to everyone who celebrates!

I'm so starved for justice. like, it seems all I ever read or see is regression and total miscarriage of justice or fairness or it all being thrown out of the window

I just need wins... I feel like I've seen so few substantial wins, it's just disappointment all day every day

Unfortunately my Kpop Demon Hunters fixation has latched onto the language portion of my brain and I've begun learning to read/write Hangul.

Gahdamn. Moaning like that got me 🧱🧱🧱

Welp.

Unfortunately, I love K-Pop Demon Hunters.

I say unfortunately because it's gonna be my entire personality for the next 3-5 business weeks.

But "Free" legitimately had me on the edge of tears.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

Consider me locked tf in.

Happy Memorial Day to the Black soldiers who fought and died for a country that would do anything but support them when they came back.

This music is fantastic! I've had Pale, Pale Moon on repeat all day.

@clmazin One of the hallmarks of the dangerously stupid is the consistent belief they've found great solutions that experts somehow missed.

The way I would have had to bite back an open mouth cackle at even the *thought* of my Black ass blessing that racist ass place with my presence...
