Me running D&D: Reads part of King in Yellow aloud. 2nd oldest child: “Oh that’s the King in Yellow!” @filamena.bsky.social: “I’m so impressed!” Our teen: “I learned about it from a hentai game.”

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary or John “revolt is the right of the people” Locke which businesses in the American colonies he was a shareholder in.

Aw shucks. Thank you. I won't. Unfortunately, that's the nature of it. But, I'll just deal.

My favorite game walking through the parking lot with my kid is “guess how many of our house you could buy for the price of this car.”

No matter what twist of luck happens in my life, I could win the lottery and I will never in a million years be able to relate to people with a stable six figure income. I feel like a space alien here.

Love how the rich asshole mall is full of stuff working people wore when I was growing up. Doc Martens, Levi’s, but they’re all low quality shit that costs 10x what we paid for the good shit. They’re cosplaying as working class.

That's wild if it's absolutely without his input. I wouldn't put it past the music industry.

Just the other day I saw tons of people patting Eminem on the back for saying he disavows and doesn't want any MAGA fans. But he'll sure as fuck sign that check.

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

I'm in so much pain. It's very hard to not think dark thoughts when I realize this is my life going forward. It won't get better. Any effort I put in will just go to slowing the progression of the suffering. I want to make the world to be a better place but I can't even make my body a better place.

And the nature of our "community" is that there will NEVER be full community buy-in under systems where we're algorithmically tricked into being antagonistic to one another.

"But I was standing on my porch banging pots as they dragged him to the pillory!" "Yes but if you REALLY cared about rehabilitative justice you'd also have thrown eggs. SCOUNDREL."

Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I can't really reconcile the way people talk about "rehabilitative justice" then in the same breath lament that retributive justice is insufficient and should be significantly greater.

Wow with this, the DOGE check, the tariff check, the housing check, the gas rebate, and everything else he's promised, I will still be broke as fuck and people will still keep reporting this shit like it's news.

At a bougie mall taking kid to work training. The people here spend $40 a pound on dog treats. We’re brutalizing the global south so this lady’s poodle can eat better than 100 million Americans. I want to grab every one of these people and scream in their faces.

If a head or agent of the state is allowed to kill arbitrarily with impunity, is anyone truly able to consent to sex with them?

And, for the coup de grace, two bills protecting fire survivors from predatory insurance companies, which he vetoed, deliberately, to punish fire survivors for rejecting his "reform" bill that was actually a huge payout to SCE for starting fires. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

Yep. By the Dead Cells team. The demo dropped today. The full game releases in two weeks.

YES! It's made by the people who did Dead Cells. The demo just launched today and it comes out in two weeks.

When I talk about how the Hungarian workers were starved to feed the imperial core, and when they rose up to stop working 18 hour days with no food, they were slaughtered, I get told: A: It didn't happen B: It did happen but it's good, actually C: The CIA is employing me

You'll notice it's always monolingual ass people that gloss China but don't know Chinese or gloss the USSR and don't know Russian yet they KNOW everything bad about them was written by the CIA.

Oh god right? I have so many friends from Venezuela who are refugees and they get called capitalists like bitch do you understand what’s going on? They say talking about it is “CIA propaganda.” People are suffering!

Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Right? Like yeah it's a good point to propagandize for the West but also there are literally very strict laws about needing to post the Kims' portraits. That's not CIA propaganda—that's just their law. Not everything said in propaganda is inherently false.

Real talk: A new Castlevania demo dropped today. I had to do the search feature on Steam to find it because it wasn't anywhere on my main page of recommendations. What use is an algorithm even if it won't tell a tranny that there's a new Castlevania?

Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
They could, yes. I will note it's very hard to point out success stories because they tend to be murdered by imperialists. That's a common theme with dissenters all throughout history.

Just existing as a free person is, essentially, criminal. If you do not respect their hierarchy, you will be subject to their targeted violence as well as their blanket violence.
110
Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
So the disconnect here is that anarchy isn't a system—it's a set of values. You can organize a community under anarchist principles in a million different ways. The only thing that makes it anarchy is the lack of hierarchy where a population has violent coercive control over another.

Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yep. Divide the people because if you don't, you're fucking outnumbered and outgunned. Keep us fighting each other and our weapons never turn to them.

Olivia Hill @machineiv.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Standards can be changed. Lessons can be learned. I'm a little suspicious that you think those things are in any meaningful way happening under any other system of social organization and by extension how anarchism is less sufficient in that?

LOL they run in the exact same circles. I'm sorry but this is an absurd take.

Yep. The exceptions are RARE, and they're typically othered and very temporary in those halls.
