We are once again asked to look at our fellow human beings and ask what they would do if consequences didn't exist.

Zach Gaskins (spooky holiday skin variant) @bigheadzach.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Tired: "NotAll". Wired: "TooMany". There, I've stated my position. I do all the assaulting I want and that amount will forever be ZERO.

Folks need to consider if they'll be pardoned in the regime to FOLLOW this one, and act accordingly.

I hope that years from now, when I finally (and hopefully peacefully) pass from this earth, my brain will not see fit to remind me of the time I watched All That Jazz a bunch of times.

Are we about to hear the phrase "Being gay is a choice, being disrespectful to an arbitrary loyalist to the regime is not" being uttered with full sincerity?

As an agnostic, it is a waste of my time harassing or belittling anyone's beliefs if those beliefs actually bring about the behavior we need to see more of in this world. Whatever "bullshit" you need to get you through the day not murdering or betraying your fellow humans, do that shit.

Ok, if we're going to act smug & derisive to anyone who appears uninformed, we'll always struggle to be taken seriously. Sometimes you need to resist the urge to huff the BeingRight vape. That being said, I definitely understand what it might be like to be seemingly dismissed by all major parties.

Saying it myself: anything Firefly purported to do for sci-fi, The Expanse did 50x better.

It is in the interest of the gaming industry at large to market you into specific hobbies that have ongoing expenses versus one-time purchases. The boardgaming industry has experimented with this in the form of legacy games, which largely failed. Theirs is a unique struggle.

In other news, I don't think telling people your six year old gave you a black eye makes you look any cooler than the other reason, which is stealing someone's wife.

It's been SIX YEARS since the Council episode of #Kollok1991 aired, Joni Ernst gives the perfect setup, and you're telling me there isn't a GIF of Kelly Nugent sneering "Listen, kids die"?!

Kelly Nugent as Chien-Shiung Wu from the webseries KOllOK1991, telling a group of townsfolk to "Deal With It" regarding the suspicious deaths happening in their quiet mountain town.

Got bit by the new housemate's cat yesterday and I was genuinely shocked by the pain. I realized that it was because he still had most of his teeth, unlike my bros.

Putting a bucket under my con drop so I can pour it back into the reservoir for MomoCon in 3 days. More Clocktower, more boardgaming, more megagaming... For me, this is the point in the year I stretch my nerdery to its limits to keep limber.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Eugh, even in my work chat I can tell when someone is using AI to auto-followup on a task I happened to be involved in. It feels incredibly fake and impersonal and the more we do this the less we care about each other as humans.

Between Yarvin and Yudkowsky, we really should have nipped that "revenge of the nerds" thing in the bud when people didn't bat an eye at that movie's more sinister plot points. They're mad and they've been ignored, and now they have a modicum of power.

Right, the Republican response to all negative events now is to scream a fancy new made-up version of the N word 75 times on air. Just....really something to see the media give them cover for.

I just read someone on the right chastising that Episcopalian bishop by saying "Do not commit the sin of empathy" and I've never been more convinced that hell is empty and the devils are here.

The Meta AI thing is literally trying to use the childhood game of imaginary friends as a replacement for an attachment to other human beings. You don't need empathy if you know your friends aren't real.

It's like we've been wandering in a desert devoid of water and just found a small puddle. Except the water is consequences. Actual consequences for horrible behavior. So, as expected, the wealthy are pulling an Immortan Joe on us, telling us to not become addicted.

I don't know if there's a good metaphor for describing the degree to which our nation is equating lack of empathy with actual causing of harm, but if it were a clock I'd say we're a few minutes shy of midnight.

To new folks - if you're concerned about people suddenly disappearing from your feeds, just mute them. You always have the ability to view muted skeets/replies, and it will show you if they're muted due to a list.
