I was expecting to enjoy it based on Iñárritu writing/directing and the actors who chose to be in it. I was not expecting how funny it would be.

I have only visited Seattle, but live in Chicago. There are some areas that are less walkable, but the city at large makes it incredibly easy to get around. It's also one of the friendliest places I've ever been to, and imo the most beautiful city in the US. (Barcelona most beautiful I've been to)

The other day, someone on the 22 was singing loud enough that I'm sure people on the sidewalk could hear them. I will never understand

I saw it last week at the Alamo Drafthouse, and can't wait to try to share it with others - it's great!

But what I really want if for you to be happy and comfortable, so do something that makes you feel joy!

Given your recent drawings I have the urge to say that I want you to draw me like one of your French girls

This makes me miss when I used to run a Krieg siege regiment. Crafting the vehicles is such fun!

The Thraco-Attic is undoubtedly one of the most aesthetic helmets ever made, and I wish more people would use it.

For the second part, conversion rates towards more action are always slim, but if you give people easy steps to allow them to feel comfortable, they're more likely to progress to more transgressive forms of protest or other organized action.

Alexander Orion @alexanderorion.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

This is my view, that they're a necessary part of a pipeline towards progress, even if their direct effects are very limited. Specifically they do two things: 1) give visibility to how many people support the cause and 2) give an easy safe space for people to dip their toes into action.

Consider Clausewitz's linkage of military action to political objectives to the US-Israel-Iran War. Iran's goal is to cause enough political and economic instability to force their aggressors to capitulate. The US doesn't appear to have a political objective. Israel is invading Lebanon.

Lived just across the border in CH and at least once or twice a year it would happen. I don't know how it's so frequent.

Something I really love about a sandwich (burgers included) is that depending on its orientation while taking a bite you can completely change the flavour and texture, depending on the order of ingredients.

Ask everyone if they bold their sluglines. Regardless of how they answer, tell them they're wrong.

I wonder if, centuries from now, these latest wars in the middle east will be recorded as just a continuation of the Crusades.

I use a browser add-on called Fluff-Busting Purity which removes all ads and suggested posts from your feed, and then set my feed to be in chronological order rather than the algorithm. And I'm still about to leave because of how bad it's gotten.

I've had that in Spain where specifically Belgian feels like a compliment. If they assumed English I would have taken it as an insult though lol

I like how any time Killy fires it, he might as well be saying, "gun, delete that."

I barely remember that, I don't think I got that far into it. My Diablo clone that likewise no one remembers is Harbinger.

Republican daddies are fighting and I'm excited to see how this escalates

Other people have given the real answer (accessibility) so I will say that it's to hide extra jokes.

Alexander Orion @alexanderorion.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

It's not quite as literal, but makes the analogy that human civilization builds upon itself in the same fashion, something I already wholeheartedly agree with.

Curious Archive has a video on this type of worldbuilding, and how it's more natural to have a setting which has grown out of the corpses of older civilizations. youtu.be/iHSEFMYjbnE

"What changed such that xyz is now a viable and/or actionable as opposed to when I suggested it earlier?" I like making enemies at work

I got the perfect pair of burgundy pants in Spain years ago, and they've damaged beyond repair. The company no longer makes those pants. I understand the pain.

Are people falling asleep because they've been listening to a metronome going TikTok for years now?

What's this Honk Shoo app people are talking about? Sounds like a real snore to me.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

Thank you for sharing, I somehow missed this and am absolutely here for it. Beyond the topic and humour, I really enjoy the character design. Western animation currently feels like it's struggling to find an identity in this, and so I love a unique take that matches the mood/theme of the show/movie

I love the internet because it allows you to connect with people who share your same values

Oh, you mean by letting it sit for way too long because you forgot you were steeping tea?

Sometimes you just go out onto the internet to have a good time, whereupon suddenly you are attacked

You could have been describing the Greensboro game and changed nothing but the location and it all would have still been true. It might just be a consequence of the culture that VtM inspired.

I think this is the first time I've worked on something that's stirring in the gestalt and it's interesting to see examples play out before you and how people react. 4/4

But is withholding aid violence? Is disallowing a people food, water, and medicine not the same as bombing them, when you cause their deaths all the same? What difference does it make if you shoot someone or deny someone else's ability to have a lifesaving surgery or if both cause a death? ...3/4

Alexander Orion @alexanderorion.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

The other is an exploration of violence. Our media has become increasingly saturated with a fetishization of violence as well, where we're made to enjoy it in a Tarantino film or Call of Duty game. We've wholly accepted that physically punching or shooting someone else is violence. ...2/4

Alexander Orion @alexanderorion.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I'm working on a project governed by two ideas. The first is hero worship, or the fetishization of who we think will save us, be it an individual like a billionaire or politician, a class of people like scientists or soldiers, or even an idea such as innovation or egalitarianism. ...1/4

And on top of that, those lists are typically populated by people who paid to be on them. It's all paid self promotion to give oneself accolades on their own CV
