This is the crux of it for me. One of our challenges as a relatively young art is the difficulty embracing simultaneous and opposing movements. We need to be able to launch and branch new ones without assuming we have to throw out the old ones. That dialogue benefits all.
I keep rereading the sentence they use an example and wondering why the hell that’s supposed to be a negative. Or, for that matter, an example of “aversion to punctuation.”
…who the f- is saying Hamlet isn’t about grief?
THANK YOU. I have pointed this out to friends but no one else seems to remember it.
Definitely! A classic!
Repost with the greatest cartoon theme song of all time.
Already quite a few good ones in this quote thread, but there's still so many left: Escaflowne, MKR, Baccano, Ranma 1/2 seasons 1 and 2, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, anything Disney Afternoon...

I guess every generation gets its Morrissey.
This is such a good way of putting it. I have seen this for years, but haven't really had a way of expressing it. Thank you.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

I was going to say
Hitter
Hacker
Grifter
Thief
But it says "wrong answers only..."
Speaking as someone who lost an older brother when I was Maelle's age, everything from the Act 2 climax onward rang extremely hollow. For me, it was a lowering of stakes on an unprecedented scale. Should I save THESE fake people? Or THOSE people who might as well be fake for all I care? Bite me.
Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Hey @gamefiend.bsky.social , since you are a fellow designer of music TTRPGs, I feel like you need to check this out. Demo is up now on Steam.
Sooo...not that I assume anyone at @iridiumstudios.bsky.social has played Rockalypse, but this is basically the video game version of Rockalypse, and you should demo it immediately.
We're going to be scraping the Epstein residue off of academia for decades (assuming we even choose to).
Also, this is yet another article of many recent ones that is super eager to blame schools while completely ignoring shifts in parenting.
How many minutes per day are parents of Gen-Z children reading with or near their child? Is screen time regulated and purposeful at home?
February 19, 2026 INSTRUCTIONS TO ALL PERSONS OF JAPANESE ANCESTRY As survivors and descendants of the mass removals, detention, deportation, and family separation targeting our community during WWII, we refuse to stand by idly while our friends and neighbors are violently disappeared, forcibly removed, mass incarcerated, and separated from family members. We decry the murders of community members and at least 37 people in ICE custody and enforcement in 2025. We reject false narratives that state violence is "unavoidable," a "justifiable military action," necessary for "national security"—the same arguments used as they forced our parents, grandparents, aunties, and uncles into U.S. concentration camps in 1942. On this Day of Remembrance, we call on Japanese Americans and all people who believe in "Never Again" to demand justice for those we have lost—on the streets and hidden away in ICE detention centers. To break this cycle of state violence. To rise up and resist, together. We bravely commit to being the allies our familes needed during WWII. STOP REPEATING HISTORY. #TsuruForSolidarity #FreeFamilies #FreeThemAll
84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

This reminds me of WW larping in the 90s.
Storytellers: We’d like this to feel like a normal World of Darkness, so let’s limit the weirdness.
Me (nodding): Cool cool. So I’m gonna play a Child of Osiris…
I'm only a few chapters in, but this is already very much my jam. I love when games teach me things (especially history), and the action/puzzle flow feels really good.
Also the soundtrack is SO GOOD.
FUCK THIS FUCKING NAZI SHIT
photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands
Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground
As someone who grew up in the GI Joe / Transformers / Masters of the Universe era, I find that response hilariously naive.
It’s fucking heartbreaking watching the pleas from MN residents start echoing the pleas from Gaza residents
the fucking “AI makes art accessible to everyone” argument makes me nuts because art is already accessible to everyone and what you want is bespoke detailed art of your own design. which is great to have but isn’t a life necessity. so like maybe don’t equate it with people shoplifting food
Ask 3 people to pronounce "Tzimisce" and you'll get 4 answers.
