If Democratic leaders are going to cave and shrug their shoulders instead of fighting for the civil rights of marginalized people, why are we even pretending they're going to fix anything?

I'm tired of having to bury friends in my community because you refuse to hold your party to any standards whatsoever, Aaron.

People DO fight for better candidates, and then the DNC machine marginalizes or outright sabotages them, and people like you keep feeding us the same "lesser evil" drivel. Hold your party and yourself to higher standards.

Now's not the time to abandon some of the country's most vulnerable people because idiot consultants managed to convince you all to abandon them. Grow some principles, man.

a shadowy cabal WAS taking over our industry! it was billionaires, and now all you get is AI slop IP generators and exploitable remakes and rereleases. nobody who cares has a job anymore. colleagues and friends privately judged me as hysterical at the time. i hope they enjoy this world now

you can buy fake respect & people who pretend to love/like you, you can collect hangers on / lackeys / ass kissers. what you can't have, no matter how much dough or power you have, is people around you who ACTUALLY like or love you & respect you, not if you're a selfish, toxic, destructive assclown

Yep! It'd follow the Rule of Two succession logically, it'd sidestep the "somehow Palpatine returned" nonsense, and it'd give us narrative fulfillment and catharsis to watch him get dunked on, *without* a redemption arc, because there are consequences when you choose to be an evil piece of shit!

And choices like that need to come with a "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" moment. Which the end of TLJ did excellently, and then TROS undid at the same time it slammed its dick in a screen door.

If it's not the biggest mistake, it's definitely up there! It felt cheap and unearned, and like Disney was trying to both reference and recapture the same emotions in Vader's redemption. Not every emotional beat of a sequel needs to mirror those of its predecessor.

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Governments around the world have openly declared war on queer people in general and queer youth in specific, but yes, what's causing the decline in identification "is unclear." You can be arrested for being the wrong kind of queer or needing the wrong kind of health care, but it's "unclear."

🦇 You want a real compromise from trans people? Promise to restore all the rights we had in 2014 that we don't today. That's it. Just bring us back to where we were. That's the bare fucking minimum. You know what I don't see any libs offering us? The rights that have been taken from us restored.

One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

False equivalence. Unless you're using their AI tools to do the work for you, software outside of generative AI is still just a tool.

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.
