Yeah, nope. I bought the trilogy around that age, but when the “none of this is real, so YOLO” protagonist raped his host early in book 1, my interest in his adventures evaporated.

If all that’s STOPPING you from raping people is fear of consequences, you can go ahead and die afaic.

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Not me quietly shipping two content creators in different countries, because the sweet bulimic bisexual bodybuilding Irish bookworm desperately wants someone to pin him to a wall, & the buff AF celibate butch bodybuilding American is adamant that she has zero sapphic impulses, & only dates men.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Hamlet’s whole rant about the troops of child players taking gigs from grown adults is basically Shakespeare’s moment of Mary Sue self insert self indulgence to look at the audience & say ye olde Elizabethan version of “fuck this trashy AI slop that’s stealing jobs from artists!”
Counterpoint: it’s in dialogue with the action blockbuster Revenge Tragedies of its day. It’s a hot mess nepo baby fuckboy nerd who finds himself very reluctantly trapped in the jock’s role in a meta AF genre piece.

Objecting that there’s no THERE there is basically objecting that he’s a nerd.

….Aaand suddenly I’m wondering whether it really IS coincidence that the best known Canadian(-invented-by-Americans) superheroes basically have Infinite Inbuilt Free Healing as their superpowers?

Holy SHIT this looks good.

I’ve loved the hell out of all Fuller’s TV work, and this CAST and this PREMISE…😍😍😍.

And every frame looks SUMPTUOUS, as one would expect, and I bet the sound design is glorious too.

I am DELIGHTED!

when RWers say "grooming" they mean "threatening my patriarchal sexual authority, corrupting my property, damaging my goods." they don't actually mean anything to do with sexual abuse, which they see as perfectly permissible under the right circumstances.

I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

Do we think he HONESTLY believes other world leaders & their people respect him?

Is it possible to be that wilfully self-deceptive?
I am begging America to not be stupid enough to embrace a racist and an antisemite because Donald Trump thinks she's a meanie. Just grab some popcorn and watch the Nazis fight.

an imprisoned *child sex trafficker*
The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.
