If you can handle tiktok style social media RedNote is worth checking out. Seeing people having class consciousness and openly supporting communism in the comments lifts my spirits. Seeing that there really are a ton of communists around the world, that it’s possible for a big country to be full of people with good political education, it helps.

A lot of videos on RedNote are showing women with their scarves barely hanging or, or even not wearing head scarves, so I’m thinking the eternal battle between Iranian women and the morality police is going well.

Big worm

Is gambling just totally legal now?

I would pay money to see Brace Belden kill and eat Ethan Klein live on twitch.

I’m a huge fan of any “powered/timed by/initiatied by this vial of super bad chemicals we stuck in it” device.

I remember something about radio proximity fuses being a wildly powerful innovation and the Nazis just could not figure out how the fuck the Allies made their shells explode at the correct time. And when they considered radio they were like “Nah, no fucking way, there’s no way that’s whjat it actually is”.

For me personally; Star Wars and related woke but still corporate media have a level of removal from actual events that allows me to get through it without crying. I can’t watch Battle of Algiers. It’s too much. Like basically any story about real world struggle, even if it’s pretty fictionalized, has me ugly crying these days. : (

The way star wars is is that there’s a good one (a new hope) and then there’s a gooder and more militant one (Empire) and then there is a later gooder and even more militant one (Revenge) and then an even more militant one (Rogue One) and then a most militant one where John Star War looks directly in to the camera and says “Go outside and shoot a police officer with a light saber”.

I’m a big advocate of “Hey, I’m uncertain what the vibe is with us and I want to clearly state my position to make sure we’re both on the same page”

Like, rather than waiting for a “Good time” to tell them. It’s super awkward but it cuts out a bunch of ambiguity.

More of my days than not these days.

Does Nexus have an offline coop patch yet? I think the offline patchers run their own P2P thing that doesn’t go through Easy Anti Cheat so that might be a way, but you’d probably need to know people to copnnected to to them.

Attempts at adaptive camoflague. People are trying to figure out how to not get their expensive meme truck peed on.

Proof that I have grown as a person is that I don’t actually want to see the Worst Pic

No you don’t. No one has ever needed the Aella tea. It is the most accursed tea.

Neightreign has legit humbled me. But I did beat that damn dog with the aid of a heroic bird person (probably

I tried but it turns out I don’t look good in flared pants.

We weren’t going to tell you but most Americans use echolocation to locate insects, navigate through the night sky, and attract mates.

21st century? No good. Not living up to the promises of the 3rd, 8th, or 26th (bce) centuries

This but almost unironically. Pretty much everyone would benefit from seeing a representative sample of naked people on a regular basis and realizing we’re all kinda weird and lumpy looking.
