Thinking about the Event Horizon flag today, no reason 😢 Tbh neither Serkis nor Jackson ever had coherent progressive politics, like not even to the clumsy degree of a George Lucas or James Cameron. They’re the epitome of half-baked, and that’s made for very inconsistent output. Like Animal Farm.
Found a sticker in my apartment that sums up my feelings about Graham Platner pretty succinctly:
This is an “I love my person” post Idc if it’s cringe. I love my partner, I love that he’s the safest, kindest, most principled person I know. I am so happy to be done with my life of trying to make shit work with toxic, angry men. I’m so glad I survived to find out that better things are possible
They should just move the speech to the Coca Cola Cool Zone. It’s just as dignified.
Like some of the best selling books of my lifetime had covers like this! You could do this with an iPhone and a piece of black paper, you don’t need AI lmao
Vastly under-discussed aspect of Tolkien, like Blake, he was a painter! I fear this is the kind of creativity we’ve lost to professionalization, because it makes people turn to shit like AI instead of thinking “I’m gonna try doing it myself because I believe I can and it could be fun!”
I’m very averse to the idea that socialists should attempt to furtively stealth and avoid self-identification, when we could proudly demonstrate that being a socialist is not synonymous with being the American red-scare stereotype of a socialist. Or as Canada’s NDP leader put it last week:
I will never forget where this all started. All these American conservatives who want to “trust the science” on sex and gender are the ones who wanted “evolution is a theory” stickers in science textbooks. They hate science, they fear science, because science, too transitions from time-to-time 😌
My grandmothers, fleeing a fascist country where it’s illegal for women to wear pants in the 1960s Vs Me, worried I’m about to lose the right to control my gender identity under fascism in 2026:
I wasn’t going to post a screencap, but it’s third party software and it’s so cringe 😬
I know all of these fucking surveys are just gathering our data for nefarious purposes, I’m sure, but also yeah this tracks.
Tbqh I don’t think you should have a career writing about “survival and unbreakable bonds” or whatever the fuck while justifying the murder of a black baby, because his mother would do anything including steal diapers to care for him. That’s what unbreakable bonds look like, Amanda, ffs…
Miyazaki-san got it in one, “an insult to life itself.” We can all go home. There is no need to explain away the primal understanding that this is a technology designed to strip meaning away from culture. It’s so deeply abhorrent to most people, that we see their designers as icky and suspicious.
“What’s your favourite Bible verse, Alex?” Oh you know, the normal ones.
Let it not go unsaid that I am also obsessed with Dune, and here are a bunch of my paintings lol:
Welcome to UFC on the lawn of the White House! We hope that our blood sport will prove a balm in these troubled economic times, plebs.
