Something I have believed for a long time. I accept that maybe these folks were already fucked up and that’s how they became super rich, but also it clearly degrades the mind to have that much wealth.

DC’s Lanterns is the story of how rural America is a malignant cancer where everything good goes to die. It’s legitimately gothic in tone at times. Great show.

Bluesky is the only place on the internet I know of where people regularly talk about Jack Reacher. Wait, let me check if they talk about it on Tumblr … Bluesky is one of two places on the internet where people regularly talk about Jack Reacher.

I really do t get why everyone is insisting that modern Fetterman is the fault of libs or leftists when it’s obvious that he’s suffered from brain damage and it’s made him worse. How was anyone supposed to predict that? It’s enough for us all to agree that he needs to go.

Tribalism is hard to purge from the human spirit because without a load-bearing amount of prejudice the brutality and pointless waste of history will crush you. And the present? Forget about it.

if you tell me "A is a bully on social media(/in print, in whatever specific scenario) but very pleasant elsewhere" you are roughly 50x likelier to convince me that they have the additional vice of cowardice than you are to convince me that they have a hidden virtue of kindness

Also I think if you start to impose additional borders people start to realize it's kinda weird? Like if you needed to wait 6 months and pay $500 to get a visa approved to travel from CA to AZ people would recognize that as ridiculous/authoritarianism.

A few things Dungeon Crawler Carl says very well: - Question your relationship to consumption and viewership. - The norms that govern us are socially constructed yet treated as immutable and more important than human life - Apathy is violent.

On Bluesky, sometimes a post has an audience of just one person.
A person named “Are You a Fishing Minigame” liked my post about fishing in Stardew Valley.

"The terrible person's work was terrible anyways." No. People who are terrible can still make pretty things. That's the problem. People who equate "good things = good people" is the reason why so many are exploited, tricked, fooled, harmed, etc. As if all goodness is perceivable in any industry.

I'm not sure anything makes me angrier than the dipshits who spent years bloviating about the Sacred Heritage of the Enlightenment Tradition casually dismissing the lives of millions of people based on some crude utilitarian calculation of state utility. Are human beings sparks of the divine or not?

Imagine someone posting a picture of a peanut butter sandwich. Another person comments under the post criticizing them for how they cut the sandwich. Person one responds: how they cut the sandwich is none of their business. Person two replies by pointing out they posted the sandwich publicly.

The Reconquista and its subsequent purges of Jewish and Muslim Spaniards was one of the most tragic events in human history. The end of the Convivencia was the end of an opportunity for a brighter future. We’ve all suffered as a result.

The main reason I’ve become such a “air conditioning is an essential life saving technology” advocate is because I was horrified to find out how many people seem to think that letting millions die during heat waves without it is better “for the greater good” of slowing climate change.

Yes rural Dems in red states are probably the most shit-on group of people in the country when it comes to politics. However despite words like hick pissing me off I cannot bring myself to actually defend rural America. The whole discourse just makes my head hurt.
