I’m still choosing to kill Hitler anytime the time machine hypothetical comes up because it’s more of a buzzkill to say “Yeah, but it would’ve happened anyway and all lives are equal because we all get one,“ though.

No, see, I win because I AI generated an image of you performing a physical sport between two impossibly sexy men! I owned you!

This reporting is my favorite thing I’ve seen on the internet in a long time. I was reading this to my partner and laughing crying so much that I had to stop several times.

With tech CEOs being demons who want to rule the world, I’ve been wondering for a while if Microsoft and Apple are going to be considered a threat to other countries and we’ll see a wide adoption of Linux, which will bounce back to the US and make us adopt it too.

I replied to my own post and gave the reason why actual misandry is important to address: essentialism is regressive and leads to marginalized people suffering through bad faith weaponization of marginalized status. Patriarchy as a system should be dismantled, but misandry is a tool of patriarchy.

L. Ron Hubbard wrote books. I can’t speak of the quality of them, but he actually did a thing. I’m sure his Elden Ring character wouldn’t be the atrocious bullshit Musk posted.

I’d probably suggest an episode of Guys and Elden Ring, if you play games. It’s what I’ve been doing in this very stressful time in my life. They’re both really low stakes to me, and it’s funny to just hear the different guys be on their bullshit while exploring and riding Torrent.

I wasn’t referring to those things, but I don’t want to spoil anything and won’t comment on how he behaves unnaturally when confronted with horrors within and outside of the realm of human comprehension.

Also, many scenes are absolutely atrocious. However, the lead absolutely carried that film in spite of it being bad. If someone else were cast instead, I think it would’ve knocked some serious points off the film.

Hated the quippy dialogue that killed any tension or potential horror, how the protagonist never acted like a person actually in those situations, and the exposition dump and acting from a character in the middle of the film. There were some great shots, and I did laugh sometimes, but it’s bad.

I would simply like to live my quiet little life as a trans woman and buy fruit and sing and walk my dog and wave to my neighbors and watch movies and use restrooms without being the subject of a culture “war” where both political parties agree I’m a disgusting freak who doesn’t deserve civil rights

This is all I ever wanted for anyone, especially for the hypermarginalized. Sometimes I just think about how many people could just be living their lives peacefully, and it breaks my heart. I’m so angry, and I don’t know what to do. There’s no point in typing this; it’s just a thing I think about.

And Iran has already said that they refuse to negotiate with this regime at all. We’re in this until Iran decides it’s over in 2028, unless they decide to not deal with us even then. The best course of action is to just pull out entirely, take the L, offer reparations, and help rebuild.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

You know you can read your own tweets before you post and contradict yourself, right? “Why are we treating voters like sheep? The voters are sheep” isn’t helping your case.

This makes everyone less safe. The allies who haven’t abandoned trans people will be pressured into doing so under threat of social, economic, and/or violent repercussions. The Democrats have been punching left every chance they get. NSPM-7 is being used to target leftists, and it will expand.

I should’ve been more clear that I included the idpol for the guy you were replying to, not for you. Hopefully, seeing someone of similar or more “privileged” identity will show that we don’t have to be this way.

If we’re cooked because we won’t vote for someone who only is talking about genociding one group, then we’re cooked either way and need to just take care of those around us, I think. I think maybe more people will get hurt in the long run by slowly allowing everything to become more far right.

Time for me to activate my idpol, since this is the time when it’s used. As a cis, het, white man, if a politician is abandoning a group of people, they will abandon more. If you allow them to lose, then you show it’s not a winning strategy and open the door for someone who won’t.

Much like the whole “pointing at a Black man so the white man will be distracted while his pocket is being picked” thing, neoliberals, and especially fascists, have no true solutions and are, in fact, the source of the problems to begin with and must deflect the blame to a scapegoat.

If the government and media are blatantly trying to force you to feel a way about something in order to do something really shitty, people are going to make jokes about the tragedy you’re attempting to weaponize.

Jesse Waters recently attacked Hasan for singing to “We Are Charlie Kirk” and spun that the joke is that Kirk was assassinated. The truth is that 9/11 jokes and Charlie Kirk jokes are both a commentary on transparently attempting to politicize terrorist attacks for reactionary effects.

The most demoralizing and heartbreaking thing I’ve noticed as a leftist is the flippant disregard of consumer ethics. The World Cup, anything JKR, etc. I was pleasantly surprised at the backlash for the Riyadh comedy festival, but maybe it’s because people here couldn’t view it on demand.

What does it mean that I actually enjoy working in an office downtown? Perhaps it’s because it’s just the coziest jobs available in our current paradigm. I suppose I’d like an apprenticeship under an electronic product developer and running R&D. Artisanal electronics sounds hilarious, though.

Also, I won’t be playing this game anyway due to it not having a physical release, the price increase, and the missing features from the base game. They literally took out features to sell them back to you. I would’ve gotten it if it were physical and had a price increase.

Oh. I read something earlier that I thought sounded like the four day pass was early access. This is just four days off when the game comes out. Bro, if you don’t re-enlist, you could either be unemployed and play it for more than four days or you could use vacation time in a job when it comes out.

I just finished Amnesia: The Bunker, and I don’t know how many people would last more than ten minutes. Even if you somehow survived The Beast, you’re exiting a French bunker in WWI with German soldiers instantly approaching you.

He doesn’t even have to do ANYTHING. Do you know what I would give to have that amount of free time? And he just wastes it being a cringey loser piece of shit mass-murdering treasonist who fails at literally everything except taking money that shouldn’t go to him.

Beginner artist like me? Draw Macho Man. He always wears huge geometric sunglasses and no matter how bad you are, it’s almost always going to atleast kind of look like him lol. Also, I know he sucked as a person, I’m just a fan of the character😅. #sketchbook #beginnerartist #wrestling #machoman

Foo Fighters should be classic rock since 80’s bands were classic in the 00’s, but they’re not because rock has been dead for so long. At leas, that’s my guess.

The Pentagon would’ve needed to not fail 16 audits in a row or whatever. We needed to actually put money into munitions and R&D and noticed how effective Ukraine was against Russia and adapted. But Iran has been planning for this fight for decades anyway, so we still could’ve lost.

Foolish Mortal @liegeofshadows.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
I mean, we’re running out of bombs and missiles; Iran isn’t going to run out of drones. The playbook we’re using is old af, even without the war crimes (but bombing elementary schools is not an effective strategy of war). We would’ve lost anyway because we’re a paper tiger due to corruption.

Like, they’re not going to say “a stateless, classless, moneyless democratic society comprised solely of the proletariat”. They’d talk about polit-bureau, censorship, gulags, lack of civil rights, bread lines, economic turmoil, etc. Have you looked around?

Republicans have been calling anyone slightly to the left of them “communist” probably since before I was born. I would just love for once a politician would ask them to define it. I suspect the definition they’d give would simultaneously be wrong and also more accurately describe Republicans.

Thanks for this thread. I never really thought about this topic, but I’d only seen one side of the argument and didn’t know what a principled counter-argument could be. It’s worth considering and opens up a debate in my mind about gatekeeping smaller platforms and communities.

The thing that gave us this administration is decades of both parties being neoliberal, Republicans continuing to move rightward, and Democrats moving rightward to “try to capture centrist voters” and totally ignoring their base and the left. We will only get worse if we continue to elect neolibs.

This reminds me of thinly veiled misogyny hiding behind critique of “white” women. Have a generally reactionary take about women? Just put the word “white“ in front of the word “women” and a bunch of Woke 1 neoliberals will applaud you!

I purchased an ereader that fits in my pocket, and last week I finished 3 novels and started one on paper yesterday. It has increased my focus and speed significantly, and my books are always available in my pocket. Before, I’d read three books in the last maybe 18 years, failing over and over.
