I was searching in vain for a quote I heard in a movie something to the effect of: "humans pretend we're not just a bunch of apes, but we are. we want to love each other, but we also kinda want to fuck, kill, and eat each other, and not necessarily in that order" and then I found this gem:

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

if you find me tedious or pedantic, ask politely & you will find me entirely capable of shutting the fuck up especially if I'm volunteering information on a topic you are an expert of, I appreciate a courtesy being very excited to know things is not my toxic trait, but the rocketfuel poured on it

loss of popular support has them so terrified, doesn't it? the way you win a numbers game when you have money but not numbers? use money to change the numbers CorpDems will take a page from the commander in cheat - no surprise, there

Screenshot (of a screen) from the movie Wargames (1983).

searching for a novel to make into a meme, I became aware of novelist Dick Prather then I looked at it and saw potential, please enjoy #Bladerunner #RutgerHauer #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep #PhilipKDick

Meme. I turned a Scott Shell Caper novel into a Blade Runner reference.

Scott Shell is here illustrated as a white-haired angular fellow, Roy Batty. The quote, famous now, was largely improvised by actor Rutger Hauer. I put it on the cover.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

One of the Scott Shell Capers, this dated suspense / intrigue novel "Bodies in Bedlam" by Richard S. Prather has the (inappropriately formatted in racist, sexist fortune-cookie-style aphorism) reads:

"Private Eye say: Lady with too fancy front sometime plain murder behind"

getting tantalizingly close to the Condorcet voting paradox...

This is a handsome little oval-shaped portrait of Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, Marquis of Condorcet, known also as Nicolas de Condorcet, a French philosopher, political economist, politician, and mathematician. He looks not a little bit like somebody put a aristo wig onto a shaved Nick Frost.

Do what you must This world holds no horrors for one who bore witness to 2013's Thanksgiving television special, "Lady Gaga and the Muppets Holiday Spectacular"

Lady Gaga is here depicted looking through a whole formed by her index finger and thumb while holding microphone. She is flanked by singing Muppets: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Pepe the King Prawn, Zoot, Mo Frackle, and I'm gonna guess Skeeter? But I'm probably wrong.

Meme. Wojill asks Chadjack if he could briefly explain the Silmarillion. She plaintively asks him to "wait" and then proclaims "oh god" across the next two panels, as Chadjack's monolog begins to encompass the entirety of the screen.

In this webcomic by dndui, a player with a drow elf scout in a Dungeons and Dragons adventuring party makes a Perception check, to see what they perceive. The player rolls a natural 20! When the human in scale mail asks the drow, "Friend, what do you see?" the drow elf responds with tears of joy in their eyes from the beauty, "PIXEL ART"

i ended up just using a meme generator. the artist has a busy schedule.

The "Come and Take It" flag, popular in Texas with people who don't wash their fucking scrotums.

Yes, there it is, another meme of my creation. I made a cannon into a sex toy. You're very welcome.

excerpt from an interview by David Brooks of Barack Obama:

Out of the blue I asked, “Have you ever read Reinhold Niebuhr?”

Obama’s tone changed. “I love him. He’s one of my favorite philosophers.”

So I asked, What do you take away from him?

“I take away,” Obama answered in a rush of words, “the compelling idea that there’s serious evil in the world, and hardship and pain. And we should be humble and modest in our belief we can eliminate those things. But we shouldn’t use that as an excuse for cynicism and inaction. I take away ... the sense we have to make these efforts knowing they are hard, and not swinging from naïve idealism to bitter realism.”

beneath this, a post, "i just want to remind everyone that we once had presidents who talked like this and we still can again."

Meme. Gravity Falls. Panel containing Schmebulock looking deeply uncomfortable is captioned, "When I think of how much work my ttrpg will take to finish". Panel containing Tyler Cutebiker saying, "Git it! Git it!" is captioned, "When I see an independent ttrpg creator publish their masterpiece".

¿Por qué no todos? I like Brian Froud's "no two goblins are identical, or even vaguely similar" aesthetic if every weapon wielding weirdo in the dungeon is a different, distinct little guy, gal, or nonbinary pal, it gives the experience more flavor, I feel

Brian Froud's goblins from Labyrinth, waiting with bated breath for Sarah to finally say the thing. Where'd she get that rubbish? It doesn't even start with, "I wish"!

Maleficent's magnificent myriad of monstrous miniature muggers, her army of little guys. Pignose is a personal favorite.

I have a book recommendation on this topic. Also, I do not recommend looking up what Piers Anthony actually looks like. The horrifying visage is still burned into my retinas.

This Bluesky post by Rue/deathcarpets states, "The gendering of incubus/succubus is one of the great injustices of our time, incubus and succubus (sic) are entities that anybody ca embody and as a female incubus this is absolute (sic) my first priority in the fight for gender liberation, i cannot think of anything better to dedicate my energy to"

Meme, format of the "A HIDING MAN WILL GRAB YOU" sign.

Sign reads, "Do no post like a trash. No AI. No DM. No horni. No spam. No bigot. No ask for $. A HIDING MAN WILL GRAB YOU"

Sign also displayspictures of a hand holding a crack pipe, a man and woman embracing with a little heart between them, and what can only be the hiding man that grabs you. His face is a haunting mockery of humanity that will live in my nightmares forever.

Glory to Arstotzka! Jorji Costava is a recurring character in the game Papers, Please. While he will waste your time (goddamn it, Jorji, Cobrastan don't real), he is sadly about the closest thing you have in the game to a friend.

In this meme, Jorji says in the captions, "Nice procedural efficiency you've got there. Be a real shame if something... happened to it"
