And today on 'WTF is this timeline?' we have the argument for castrating rapists being amplified by...*checks notes*...Raffi. Yeah, that tracks.

One of many priorities for a Dem-dominated legislature should be making a list of all the executive orders protecting the rights of minorities of all kinds and codify them into law. If one man can undo so much progress, it wasn't really progress.

If we want to prevent old rapists getting elected/appointed to power, we need to start ruining the futures of young rapists.

A rakish pretty-boy with a negative strength modifier, a sarcastic/cruel wit that serves as a mask for his long-standing trauma, and a tragic backstory that involves being used by a murderous supernatural being: Am I describing Astarion of #BG3 or Count Daeran Arendae of #WotR?

I wonder if there's a market/desire for a collection of ready-made Pathfinder characters - like iconics, but more - cause man, my brain has just been churning out concepts and builds all week, and I've nowhere to play them.

Watched a little bit of Graveyard Keeper 2 gameplay, and my initial gut reaction was 'Yikes, this art style looks exactly like the AI slop comics you see spewed all over FB feeds.' A cursory web search seems to suggest that the dev has denied its use, but team members love 'experimenting with it.'

I remember not fully grasping that there were *people* in those buildings until I saw the grainy footage of them leaping out of the windows on the news. I also remember having to explain to my fellow pre-teens that no, I wasn't a terrorist, and that I was an Italian-American not an Arab.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

While discourse on the Odyssey as source material is good and thought-provoking - I feel like not enough people are talking about how probably the biggest film of the year is a treatise on the ruinous effects of violating social/political norms with a cowardly draft-dodger as its main antagonist.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Helen was the younger sister of the semi-divine Castor and Pollux - noted equestrians, boxers, sailors, and warriors - and a princess of Sparta whose legacy was honored in latter days at the athletic fields where young women trained. One could reasonably argue that Helen would've been jacked.

It's wild to me the number of people acting like this photo of McConnell is actual proof of life - as if we've not just spent the last several years loudly, with great theft and at great cost, developing the means to easily fake such images. Gov. Beshear should aggressively pursue *actual* proof.

Hopefully Platner doesn't pull a McConnel by keeping his moldering corpse of a campaign on life-support until it's too late to replace him. Don't live in Maine, but it (and every state) deserves better than a Nazi r@pist who knows how to play-act the progressive.

Was in Ghana for two weeks visiting my partner's family, and made a visit to the Nkyinkyim Installation (ky is 'ch') of the Ancestor Project, by Kwame Akoto-Bamfo. Haunting work, especially the pool representing those captives who drowned at sea. Reparations can't come soon enough.

A memorial honoring those African captive slaves who drowned at sea. Clay busts of African men and women stand partially submerged in a pool, surrounded by cloth-wrapped sacred trees.

Clay busts of African men and women partially submerged in a pool of water, their expressions conveying resignation, despair, anguish. Many bear iron collars and other instruments of subjugation.

Clay busts of African men and women, honoring captives taken by slavers who died far from home. Many are chained or collared, some seem frozen in a scream of anguish, while others seem resigned or stoic to their suffering.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

(Spoilers) I thought the Maul series was 'okay.' Not enough of the titular character, and the entire Lawson plotline felt like a time-consuming distraction, but I liked Devon and Daki's dynamic - with each other and with Maul. Devon's arc was predictable, but believable and well-executed. (1/3)

I love the idea that the Axumites and their descendants apparently encountered so many Greek missionaries and merchants named Yohannes, that Yonanawi became the Gəʽəz word for Greek. 'Him? He's a John. Those holy fathers? Johns, from the faraway land of the Johns.'

Say what you will about the moral monstrosity of a cosseted, privileged president treating war like a game - and there's *plenty* to say - but highlighting his draft-dodging as an avenue of attack seems counterproductive at a time when we need every wrench possible thrown into the gears of war.

you don't actually hate what you're creating. if it was made by someone else, you'd like it. you'd say it's cool. you'd say it's inspiring. you can easily imagine another artist drawing this, and someone else liking it. you only doubt it because it's yours. stop. it's okay. you're allowed to be.

Yes, we should talk about how pathetic it is that the US, Israel, and Argentina voted against Ghana's UN resolution recognizing the moral abomination that was the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. But we should ALSO highlight the 52 abstentions - most of which came from European colonizers.

"Live action" Disney remakes always look like shit, they're always gross cash-grabs (it's questionable if writers get paid when they get made), and they never cement themselves very long in the public consciousness. A movie being animated is not a problem to be solved.
