My biggest Lingua Tertii Imperium reminder is seeing the continuity of Goebbels' 'Cultural Bolshevism' as 'Cultural Marxism' and then 'Wokeism' as fascists continue to demonize academics, medias, socialists and Trans folk. It's just so blatant.

Free college would cost $80 billion/year. Or for $200 billion you can blow up Iranian kids, drive up gas prices, steer the empire into a ditch. Hard to say which is more “valuable” in the fucked up libidinal economies of desire

I can’t believe “a whole civilization will die tonight” has entered the range of acceptable opinions on which people can just disagree. Death drive culture

Every year on Easter I think about what it means for a group of organizers—after the execution of their comrade for sedition—to steal the body from Empire.

Turns out hosting military bases for the world's most militant country is not good for host countries or the troops stationed there!

It's nice being slightly above the poverty line. Ironic way to lose weight since you're not counting calories-per-dollar, and can eat things like salads.

It's so bizarre to me how much of philosophy is just people misreading Hegel.

At a certain point Christians need to learn Revelation was written about a time that has long since past, that we know and do not suppose this, and that and that any attempt to bring it about again through bigoted violence places oneself among Christ's political adversaries.

Rubio: “That entire regime is led by radical clerics who don't make geopolitical decisions. They make decisions on the basis of theology, their view of theology which is an apocalyptic one.” Again, the lack of self awareness is astonishing. THEY TOO make political decisions based on their theology.

I feel like religious studies folk would be less wrong if they reckoned with fantasy even remotely. Is a wizard's fireball not-magic because it is natural, explainable with arcane physics? Is a follower of Woedica not-religious if they understand the mechanics of her divinity?

Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 is finally OUT! Our vision was to make a game where your choices *actually* matter, instead of just being window dressing. 930,000 branching words later, no two runs should ever feel the same. If Slay the Princess has no wrong decisions, Scarlet Hollow has no right ones.

What does it mean to conceptualize the Trump era as exceptional in the history of this country? What does it mean to think this the late days of a dying empire?

Nico Isaiah @poltergeists.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
I am not at all bothered by Trump falling asleep at a meeting or "being a felon" and very bothered by the fact that he is a fascist head of state who has done lasting harm to countless people, further normalized white supremacy, and whose influence will be felt for years to come.

Theology and the soul economies in PF and D&D makes no sense whatsoever and it's what makes Pillars of Eternity so refreshing. Suddenly, deities have an actual source of power, and an impetus to act in the world. This is important to good fantasy TTRPGs, I think.

From a land where plutocrat pedophiles justify a carceral slave economy by invoking long dead liches of slaver patriarchs, rallying against phantasmatic enemies to maintain a population of somnambulists to the tune of their eternal warsong.

You gather with your community around a stage, where a ritual takes place to appease the ancestor spirits. The performers are costumed, they are chanting, they are singing to you the stories of your national mythos. You are watching Hamilton the musical, and you have never felt more religious.

A hidden gem of the PS2 era was a baseball rpg where decisions depended on a hand of cards—yes, no, challenge, or Marvin. Meaning sometimes the only thing your OC could think of to solve his problems is to volunteer his best friend Marvin. I think about this a lot.

Searching EBSCO Host for papers really is the quickest way to see how important it is to have multilingual researchers, and highlights how much is lost when nationalists make it harder for immigrants to stay and contribute to our collective understanding.

I think aesthetics should have a purpose. Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs was only redeemed in How to Blow Up a Pipeline, when its storytelling structure actually meant something. Until that moment it wasn't worth mentioning.

Clifford could be a top 3 kaiju with the right direction. His mobility among terrestial kaiju is best in class, his fur is blood red, he has fangs and as a quadruped he is difficult to topple. Have you ever seen a kaiju play fetch? It is terrifying.

Reducing political differences to binary left/right categories is indefensible. Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist. To call him far-right is to mystify what he stood for.

"they are going to use this against us." where you been, they are murdering black people in the streets for selling CDs, they are rounding up hispanic people for being at a home depot, they are sending people to foreign torture prisons for tweeting about Palestine. The terrain is SHIFTED

What is this game #slaytheprincess #theadversary #slaytheprincessspoilers
A screenshot from Slay The Princess. It shows the protagonist lifting his middle finger at The Adversary while the Narrator says "Watch me. Your left arm lifts towards the ceiling, and your hand twists into an obscene gesture. See? I can make you do whatever I want."Another Screenshot from Slay the Princess that looks the same as the one before. Except this time, the Adversary also lifts her middle finger at the player and the Narrator says: "The Princess, taken aback, flashes her own rude gesture in return."
