the newer VNV Nation album, Construct, is... not that good. It is fine, but not good.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind

Pearl Jam tried to warn us.

Was a child in the 80s. It was peak dinosaur. The number of dinosaurs I have forgotten about could fill a book.

Please take note.

Have camps like this ever been stopped through peaceful Democratic means?

"That's a lot of Ba'als!" Is one of my favorite silly jokes of the series.

My patron saint is grumpy Bear.

FEATURE NOT A BUG! 😂

Can anyone recommend an album or a band that really captures that 1990s feeling of the end of History, but things just not being quite right?

Speak for yourself. The sun crusher is the greatest thing ever And I will forgive Kevin j. Anderson for anything in regards to dune because of the Jedi academy trilogy.

this site has a real bad "this post must be about me" problem and it's getting worse

Someone showed up to a Shōji Kawamori signing with RoboTech stuff. Staff and security politely escorted him out of the line.

Shōji is very clear that he *does not care* for it.

Donatello (from Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) is looking at Leonardo in their underground lair while sitting in an office chair and saying "You guys make fun of me for everything-"

Donatello folds his arms, saying, "- and I'm tired of it!"

Now all four turtles are visible in-frame, with Raphael and Michelangelo standing next to Leonardo. Raphael asks Donatello, "Are you still upset we don't like Robotech?"

Donatello throws his arms wide in exclamation, kicking his feet into the air. "Of course I'm still upset you don't like Robotech!"

It's remarkably easy to rile up a certain kind of "Internet Leftist" to attack an otherwise uninfluential person as the embodiment of their disenfranchisement.

It's notable that the target Of such "revolutionary praxis" is often a queer woman...

They took the kind of millennial nerd who would have read a vast amount across a wide range of topics and instead coerce them entirely into the HP ecosystem and lifestyle brand.

We must also not discount the millions upon millions upon millions of dollars of marketing and lifestyle branding put into HP. Scholastic and Warner Brothers managed to forge it into a core pillar of personality for an uncomfortable number of millennial nerds.

It's very important that the young men of gen Z die for the Israeli State and Epstein.

The anti-Semitism runs far deeper. Far far deeper. I would say it's foundational. It's foundational to all Christianity. But especially Catholicism.

There are plenty of reasons to despise the Catholic church. This is however not one of them. Catholic Church doesn't do rapture stuff.

You can blame the crusades on them though!

And I'm going to be called a fascist enabler. No better than Trump for not supporting newsom.

This is Frank Herbert's most author direct authorial voice in the first three books.

This is the entirety of Dune.

It's so easy to organize an internet hate mob against women, especially queer women. Roan is in that perfect sweet spot where she is privileged enough that people can unleash their unbridled misogynistic homophobic rage upon her under the cover of "revolutionary praxis".

This image is a presentation slide titled "Ubiquitous Law Enforcement" with the subtitle "(A brief detour into radical pessimism)". It features a block diagram of an embedded controller chip, labeled on the right side as a "Foobar Computers 52799G embedded controller chip." The 'G' in the model number is highlighted in red. The diagram is credited to "V. Vinge" in the bottom left corner. The chip diagram contains several standard computing components represented as black-outlined rectangles: * Left side: A large block labeled ALU, with smaller blocks below it for WCS and Scratch RAM. * Top right: Blocks for Registers and DMA. * Middle right: Blocks for Serial Ports and Ether. The primary focus of the diagram is a large area in the lower-right quadrant, outlined with a thick red border. Inside this box, red text reads "This area is ... GOVT PROPERTY". Faded, semi-transparent pink double-ended arrows radiate from this "GOVT PROPERTY" box, indicating that this section has direct two-way access to the Scratch RAM, Registers, and Ether components of the chip. Finally, on the far right edge of the chip, two thick, black double-ended arrows point to text oriented vertically that reads, "The Off-Chip World," representing the chip's communication with external systems.

Just got banned for the ex-catholic subreddit for pointing out that signing up for the US military involves swearing an oath to kill for the US government.

Can honestly say I did not expect that.

This is a step too fucking far!

He is one of the pigs.

The reaction to the Epstein report says shown me that no one really cares about sex trafficking or rape provided it stays confined to adult woman and older teenagers.

Because no one really seemed to care until allegations of cannibalism of children showed up.

See the correct way to power game this would be to have one cis boy, one cis girl, one non-binary, one gender fluid, and one agender person.

This absolutely could be done because power gaming knows no gender.

Laws are made by people with the most power
