Dems: “Young people don’t vote anyway!”

Dems: “AH, well, nonetheless…”

The One Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemisin.

It’s basically this:

Being able to admit a mistake is huge, being able to genuinely apologize without some cop-out disclaimer is even better.

A Bewitching Revolution.

You play as a witch who explores a city, helping homeless people get housed, planting fruit trees, clearing anti-bird architecture, starting union drives and prison riots…

The game is free and you can finish it in an hour.

A Bewitching Revolution is a first-person adventure game about a communist witch living in a cyberpunk city. Use magic to help the city’s residents build collective forms of power and resistance!

Inspired by the work of Silvia Federici, A Bewitching Revolution tells an optimistic story about people transforming their gloomy capitalist present into a bright revolutionary future. It is designed to be played in a single sitting, roughly one hour long.

After reading Flatland and playing The Forgotten City, I feel like any number of human religions could end up being “true” to some degree. But it would involve aliens, or interdimensional interlopers or something.

Literally nobody ever believed it was about “protecting the children.”

Liberal rubes sure did. They’ll keep insisting that’s the case too, even as bans on trans adults existing sweep forth. Liberals absolutely don’t give a fuck about us.

Lol what specifically happened in 2020?

The speed of advancement from the industrial revolution to present.

This one makes Fermi’s Paradox far more confusing and terrifying to me. The time it took to go from agriculture to the steam engine is nothing compared to the age of the universe, absolutely nothing, and from the steam engine to modern technology is fuck ton nothing.

An intelligent species could go from stone age technology to nuclear weapons in the blink of an eye.

And that’s just life as we understand it. We have no idea if we’re the equivalent of Flatland in a higher spatial dimension or something. There could be stars with entire civilizations of plasma-based intelligent life churning inside of them. There could be intelligent civilizations lurking in each and every single subatomic particle.

It’s possible no matter how far out or far in we look, we just keep finding more universe, more space for something to inhabit, forever…

As they said on , if we look everywhere and we’re the only intelligent species anywhere in this universe … well that would be weirder than if life is hiding all over the universe.

Let people not like things.

I support crushing fascists with tanks.

If your goal is to prevent deaths, surrendering would have been the ideal yeah.

Zelenksy tried to surrender to prevent further deaths, and Boris Johnson refused to let that meeting happen because NATO isn’t finished using Ukranians as crash test dummies.

The creator of this comic is a self-described pro-sweatshop neoliberal, which explains the “woe is me, I’m too smart for my own good” delusions.

If you’re not an Anarchist in your 20’s you have no heart.

If you’re not a Tankie in your 30’s you have no brain.

This is like if the Confederacy retreated to Catalina Island, massacred everyone there, and continued calling itself the rightful government of the entire continent afterward.

Tankie.

The air fryer is pretty cool I guess.

But I was assured by the Anti-Tankies that everyone in Cuba gets executed every hour on the hour.
