Not even find anymore, generate with grok or chatGPT or whichever. What a world.
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!
some of you are getting bread AND circuses???
A medieval illustration of a hedgehog with grapes skewered on its spines
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
The worst part about getting surgery to help with nerve pain and pressure is your nerve....freaking out and causing pain because it had to be moved for said surgery.
oooh we are posting super bowls?
As a specialist in Islamic ceramics *cracks knuckles* I present this fabulous 11th c. lustre painted bowl from Fatimid Cairo depicting a Coptic priest. Its white glaze imitates Chinese porcelain and the lustre technique was invented in Iraq a century earlier.
Anyone else ever have a surgeon check their phone while you were asking questions pre op or do I just have the worst luck
knuckle tats that say “SOUP TIME”
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead
Disc issue got bad enough that the nurse advice line told me to go to the ER yesterday, so I had a sleepover. I was already not pleased that my neurosurgeon pushed my surgery back by four weeks so I'm lying here stewing as well as feeling vindicated that I did, actually, have the right guy feeling.

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

Art should be allowed to make you feel uncomfortable, and if it does (for reasons beyond jumpscare tier shock value), you should analyze why and come out of that analysis knowing yourself better.
Games just tend to trigger a strong response than other media because of the active participation.
The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
We're going to win because their side has no good art and they know it.
They've got Kid Rock, we've got The Boss, we are objectively going to win this
I read this thesis a while ago, and I find it interesting the link between identifying with monsterousness and being trans (I observe this highly among art made by transmascs in particular though it's obviously not exclusive to us). It's in a lot of ways a reclamation this idea that--
Fell for it again award
anyone know where i can send this to Walz?
I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.
The village is silent. No
one will leave their homes.
In Andor, the Ghorman protest turned violent when the Imperial supervisor sniped one of his own after sending the green, scared newbies into the crowd.
There are likely real world examples, but I turn towards Andor as a story that really shows fascism unfolding.
Part of the corrosion on the right is that they can't conceive of normal community building things like organizing as something anyone would do naturally without power grabbing as a motivation.
