Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

MA governor on ICE: “I support them” Maura Healey declines to end state’s partnership with ICE

Two good ones today at HW. First @andrewqmr.bsky.social writes on the discrepancy between the words and deeds of governor Maura Healey when it comes to partnering with ICE. Massachusetts remains the only Democrat-controlled state still contracting with these motherfuckers.

The Roottrees Are Dead (2023)

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

I’d like to announce I’ve been hired as the new Head of Engagement for Bluesky. It is my job to make sure people love to post here!

For my first act on the job, I’ve made it so that opening Bluesky gives you a lethal electric shock.

Together we’ll grow this community in a positive way!

I canceled Game Pass last December because I got a Steam Deck and wanted to focus my games spending on that. I thought I’d give it a year and see how it went but there’s no way I’m going back now
