At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

you never have to believe a word these people say about how it's a Hard World and Hard Things Must Be Done. they get off on this shit. one thing to think Hassan being executed is justified, another entirely to do it one handed while jacking yourself off like this.

Personally, my favorite depiction of Selenites are the insect bird people costumes Georges Méliès created for his 1902 silent movie "Le Voyage dans la Lune" (A Trip to the Moon)
 Drawing by Georges Méliès for his film A Trip to the Moon (Le Voyage dans la Lune). It depicts two Selenites (lunar inhabitants).Acrobats of the Folies Bergère dressed up as Selenites in the movie "Le Voyage dans la Lune." 1902.Statue inspired a drawing by Méliès, done during his retirement in Orly in 1937, in which he revisited the characters of his film. It was made by Félix Labisse in 1960, and first presented in the exhibition "Centenaire Georges Méliès", co-organized by the Cinémathèque française in 1961 at the Palazzo Chiablese in Turin.

there are so many studies about how reading to your kids is super important for their development, and also your relationship with them and your kid's relationship with books. I wouldn't be the reader and nerd that I am today if my parents hadn't read to me when i was a kid.

A person who uses a chatbot to automate away essential parts of being human, creates a void of ignorance that damages their creativity. The longer they do this, the bigger that void gets, the less human experience they have in them to express.

Imagine a guy who uses a chatbot to communicate with his family, to eulogize his dead loved ones and come up with bedtime stories for his kids etc. What happens if he wants to attempt to write about love? He'll have no fucking idea, he'll reflexively prompt a chatbot to plagiarize writers who do

looking it up, it sounds kinda fun and like it would make for a decently fun thing to recreate for a programming class or something. I'm also just curious how it works under the hood, it seems somewhat complicated for a digital boardgame from the 80s

Never tiring of explaining how when AD&D 1e came out the fans got inundated with merch that no one bought because Gygax's primary motivation was making money with the thing he didn't make. The symbol to everyone who lived through that is the infamous "wood burning kit," please do look that up

JK Rowling has enough money that she can spend vast amounts of it on advocating the genocide of trans people and, like Mackenzie Scott, still end up richer than before. At that level of wealth she can *also* afford to push her shit at a massive loss, flooding the zone with free dogshit.

This becomes less shocking when you really reckon with the reality that this is an intentional, repeated, and committed editorial direction by evil people looking to do profound harm to people up to and including them dying and not just some wide eyed naïveté taking RFK Jr too credulously.

I'm gonna be honest 'cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas' always annoys me a bit because it's a funny post but also No They Weren't. They were an itinerant *pastoralist* class common in Meiji-era Texas. And indeed the wider western region of post-Risorgimento America

Hooray! Wine harvest comes to fruition in Tuscany this month, as fruit of the vine is decanted into barrels. Seasonal cycles, or Labours of the Month, were a favourite medieval theme. This 13th C series w added zodiac symbols is on Lucca's Cathedral, attributed to the Master of San Martino.
October section of Labours of the Month sculpture on facade of Cathedrale San Martino in Lucca, Tuscany. 
A man in a dunic is pouring wine from a large jug into a barrel on a stand. The scene is set under an arch with columns in green marble either side, with symbols for Sagittarius and Scorpio to left and right above them.
Panels of dark green and pink marble are also visible.
