I was raised as a conservative, by conservatives. Right wing politics are nothing but a rhetorical game. Played to its end, that game leads to the destruction of organized human life on earth.

The Warden series is awesome, go read that and also I'll be getting these as soon as they are available. Please, though, buy the Warden series. I really need like another 15 or so books so we need to show a publisher they'll sell. And follow Dan for all your long suffering Orioles fan needs.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the idea that "I bought this book, therefore I get to do whatever I want with the contents" is why the copyright notice exists

"No one gave me free art for my project, so that makes it OK to steal it." (No.)

AAAAND "Not Strong Enough," boygenius

Ooh, I just remembered: "If I Can't Change Your Mind," Sugar

(Porcupine Tree might be masters of the negating song, having also given us "No Rehearsal," "Stop Swimming," and, arguably, "Shesmovedon")

"I Can't Dance," Genesis "No Mermaid," Sinéad Lohan "Arriving Somewhere (But Not Here)," Porcupine Tree

Tempted to answer "badly," but to actually be useful: I do try to ride the high into something I enjoy doing on my own - some lonely fun to decrompress with afterwards. And if it's a repeatable event, I start to think about the next one.

Some of these bitches never read Upton Sinclair and it shows

Author friends, this is a site you should bookmark! #noai #humanartists It should go without saying, but I don't use AI. I didn't apply because I'm not looking to be hired. But many other artists are actively seeking projects and need your support in this growing hellscape. #supportartists

DECADES of right-wing and libertarian nonsense successfully gaslit everyone that regulatory practices and oversight were government overreach and not, as the maxim goes, a series of proscriptions written in blood

It's all this dril post on steroids: AI may lie to kill a woman and her child to keep deportation numbers up, but it helps a lot of people write emails no one wants to read, so it's actually really good.

Tapping the sign again so hard my finger bleeds 👇 (this applies to media discourse too!! We’re all too tired for this liking-pancakes-means-you-hate-waffles-ing at each other, go for a walk or take a nap!)

If you are failing to sufficiently persuade your own voters to vote for you, I don’t know what to tell you, this is the game and you are simply getting outplayed so you should probably just get good or something

We also want the people we admire to reflect our tastes and preferences and feel parasocially betrayed when they don't. Another casualty of the way we've collectively confused a preference with a virtue.

I have a copy of this and have the same feelings I do about Threads: I want to have the experience but I haven't found a night I want to ruin

I'm a broken record on this too, and the thing I keep saying is that we've lost sight of being able to say "I am not the audience for this." Everyone thinks their preferences are virtues and evidence of some objective measure of aesthetic and moral quality.

The idea for the faction The Archivist has been in place since the first playtest of Liminal Horror (in the original notes for Plague of Frogs). @punkpadour.bsky.social made this killer piece based on my description of What if Columbo was an x-files-like being obsessed with the supernatural.

10/10, would buy a ticket for this
