Well, the new Fortune’s Weave is probably the best Fire Emblem of all. Didn’t expect that.

Remember when after the pandemic subsided, it was hard to remember how to human again? Or, more temporarily, if there’s a power cut or you are injured in some way to how you are usually? Well, what do you think happens in a world where you cede your own thinking to AI and it’s not there one day?

the Male-Grievance Grift-o Sphere going after popular stuff might seem like a tactical error at first but it's designed to put vulnerable/stupid men into a siege mentality by making it seem like all of pop culture is out to get them. it's an attempt to isolate

I'm not a cyber security person. I don't want to be a cyber security person. I'm got habits from working at an ISP, which boil down to "No, software asks permission before it runs." I read this story and hissed at the exposure of new attack surfaces.

I voted for @okcomics.bsky.social because I adore their approach to selling comics.

What about this comic shop stands out to you as unique? Please share a positive experience or further detail to help us get to know the store's impact!

I have never left OK Comics without a smile on my face. They're as happy as many truly relevant and thoughtful recommendations as you want as they are to let you browse in isolation. They highlight books, titles and themes which are thought-provoking and challenging over commercially known. I love that the floor you enter on is entirely indie (Image is as you walk in!) and especially nonfiction leaning. They're a lovely team of people who are the blueprint for comic shops in my humble opinion.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.

I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing,

enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.
