This is one of the best pieces of pop culture writing I've read in the past couple of years. These excerpts are great but you need to read how the build to that last one. Goddamn. Thank you @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com
haven't tapped the sign in a while: "support billionaire-free, worker-owned, independent media" when and how you are able
feels like an especially irresponsible moment to ignore BDS when Game Pass is the easiest, level one way to participate in the boycott and BDS just called for renewed pressure after Israel passed a law on executing Palestinian and Arab in prisons that use Microsoft cloud services
is it the one who complained his phone didn't work because it got too hot but he submerged it in a pool *checks and finds I'm now blocked* helllll yeahhhh

God this is so fucking cool
THIS is the kind of cyberpunk future bullshit I actually want
User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?
Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

What did he know?
Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
when isaac writes, with a nuance and respect I rarely ever see others write with when it comes to the transmasculine experience, i feel both hope and less alone
atheists get mad at me whenever i say this, but i 100% believe that dinosaurs really existed. their fossils have been found all over the world
Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator
Yeah but instead you could be procrastinating by founding a new mode of thought!
You could build a philosophical cult out of this kind of observation. As above so below type stuff
Thank you so much! That really means a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Ah thank you! It's such a fun comic, it really made me laugh. I'm glad you liked this!
no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
Don't forget the trans women who made the flight possible. They're not on the pictures though because they were fired by fascists.
@hntdove.bsky.social robbed this from Facebook. Right up a history buff's alley.
Am I alone in wishing to be out of here?

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
