You asked, we listened! J.E. & I tackle “Who Paid the Pipers of Western Marxism?” in 2 pts: EP16 on the motive & method of the project; EP 17 on how far the book falls short of its own mission re: the Frankfurt School. Tried to keep it civil-ish but as you can see lol www.patreon.com/posts/156140...

not to be contrarian, but the fact that tsuji santa hasn't come up with a similarly-proportioned OC since he went freelance a couple years ago probably says more about his own taste than the suits at nitroplus

I'm at that point in my post-grad school job search where my ninety-something y/o grandparents, who live hours away, are now sending me ads from their local newspaper in the mail

2000 AD is coming back to America — and this time, it’s weekly! Never before have American readers been able to enjoy a weekly hit of 2000 AD Thrill-power, but now thanks to a partnership between publishers Rebellion and Lunar Distribution, 2000 AD will arrive in ...

I hope you told em to add 2000ad and the Judge Dredd Megazine to their pull list 2000ad.com/news/2000-ad...

Reddit RPG Games and RPG Game Remakes Criticism of Reddit RPG Games and Remakes.

fell down a rabbit hole, apparently the most thorough guides for Baldur's Gate 1&2 are written by a woman who has been thoroughly blogging all her video game opinions since the 1980s.

she gave Baldur's Gate 3 a 2.1/10 rating and scathingly calls it a reddit RPG

nightmare that the skin on my legs and feet were burnt to a crisp; had this charred, tree bark-like appearance similar to a smoked brisket that's already been cut to serve on a platter

just learned that my former academic department not only failed to get NASAD accreditation, but also received a 20% budget cut last year

area man still finds himself stuttering in everyday life. considers suicide

I LIKE TO IMAGINE THIS THING IS THE SIZE OF A BUILDING.

I do hope this incident will make them reconsider focusing on an actual e2ee dm feature rather than bringing back twitter circles instead

nope; just keep F5'ing here status.bsky.app

forgot to refill my thermos before bed; woke up in the middle of the night like this, no covers, fans running, overheated and covered in sweat

does anyone know if an epub or pdf of this exists

v04 is also the only one with a print-replica pdf available online lol

hate to be a downer but boime died before completing this book series (which might explain why it's never been reprinted). I wanna say that unfinished manuscripts for the final fifth and sixth volumes *do* exist but no-one has tried picking them up

it basically prefigures the decline of state authority in the arts following the french revolution, although iirc that point is never made very explicit

agreed! 🙂‍↕️ boime's many asides on british dealer-collector networks and their privately-funded grand tours to rome is an interesting foil to the french académie royale system's approach

native web browser support for jpeg xl can't come soon enough

webp is the preferred image format of fandom wikis; its only purpose is to save space for ads in a vast, virtual graveyard

bluesky image compression defaulting to webp has to be the most mildly infuriating decision they've ever made

even stranger there's no website w/ complete scans of B-CLUB either

Its so strange that there’s no website out there dedicated to indexing mecha designers, even just for manga and anime.
