Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I read Harry Potter as a kid. It was mostly notable to me for being my first exposure to worldbuilding. Having gone back and reread a couple of the books recently, though, I'm now noticing all these unpleasant little things about that world that I'd never have picked up on as a kid. 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The people who believe the praise AI gives them are the same people who believe the lap dancer likes them. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Please tell me at least one of those guys is named Yuri. 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Reminds me of people who argue that, as time goes on, science should need less funding because if we learn more stuff, there should be less new stuff to find out. 270
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 26/05/2026If they understand that they're asking for your version/interpretation of their idea, it tends to go better. 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 26/05/2026What I'd consider a more important factor in a commissioner-artist relationship is how the commissioner engages with art in the first place. If they're the type to demand that everything be their way, no if, ands or buts, yeah, it's gonna suck. 110
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 26/05/2026As far as I'm concerned, what you yourself consider a fair price for your effort should be your only point of concern when determining prices. The customer can then decide how much they personally value your effort, and if it's the same, hey presto, you've got a commission. 110
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Now, the time and responsibility is ours to rise up and create a new system that isn't beholden to hatred and bigotry. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026The Founders were idealistic about the future of American social attitudes. They wanted us to be able to quickly and dramatically change the system they designed, but they were held back by people who had no concept of the basic equality of humans. #SecondAmericanRevolution 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026This government was built on kowtowing to slave power, and we're still dealing with the effects of that today. It is built to systemically advantage antidemocratic reforms, and it's held us back for 250 years. We have to replace the Constitution wholesale. #SecondAmericanRevolution 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, [...] 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed [...] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I'd like to invite everyone to read the second paragraph of the US Declaration of Independence. uscon.mobi/ind/2.html #riseup #secondamericanrevolutionuscon.mobiParagraph 2 - Declaration of Independence - Mobile Friendly Historic U.S. Documents 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 21/05/2026We need to overthrow the US government. This system was exploitable from the start, we've spent 250 years not fixing it, and now it's being exploited under our noses. It's time to replace the current constitutional framework, by force if necessary. #revolution #secondamericanrevolution #riseup 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 26/04/2026How about this chick off the cover of The Light Fantastic? 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 26/04/2026The "Militarily Top Secret Ballroom"? I know the answer is no, but I still find myself asking incredulously if he understands anything that comes out of his mouth. It's like he's a brain stem with Wernicke's. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Why is it that his middle name is the most normal part of his name, but nobody uses it 110
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Don't think I'll ever play enough games to actually have something to put in all of those categories. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Hey, I guarantee you they've had a bitchy (typoed that three times as "butchy") customer come back and whine about them not getting enough sauce as a reason their meal should be free. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Prolly insurance against a bad review about not enough sauces. 110
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Given where that money will go, I'd just skip this year anyway. 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Bummerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr #libsofgetgrifted 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Satire as a form of criticism is, of course, an important and valid form of journalism, but there comes a point where recording the crimes becomes as or more important than criticizing the system that allows them. 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/03/2026The march of societal progress in this country has always been marked by the extension of protections in law to those who cannot fend for themselves, and I believe this change is pivotal to preventing a serious backslide both in that progress and in our ability to express ourselves as a people. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I do not think a legal stand based around using one's right to expression to deny others' right to expression can stand long under scrutiny. 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/03/2026... and the sheer fact that they're individuals, rather than organizations themselves, would warrant greater protections for such individuals relative to the private financial organizations they use to sustain their livelihood. 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/03/2026... I think most courts would agree that the imbalance of power between private financial organizations and the individuals that use their services; the far greater number of individuals who use such services relative to the number of providers; 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I submitted this comment: While one might conceivably be able to create some an argument that private financial organizations have a right under the First Amendment to refuse to provide services to individuals or other organizations based on how they engage in Constitutionally-protected expression, 100
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I think there are better ways to phrase parts of this. 000
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 11/03/2026There is just so much wrong with that poster. The griffon's hands, the drummer's hooves that are also mittens, the googly eyes on the blue one... 141
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 11/03/2026"Get over yourselves", they say right next to their poster with the character with googly eyes 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Rosalina in a ring gag would be great. Oh well. Ringalina. 010
Arkadios @arkadios200.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I personally would have been okay with the name "Operation Pussy Grab" (in reference to Persian cats) 000
