I appreciate this graphic issued by the NZ Central Sikh Association in response to the Destiny racists for its inspiring message of anti-discrimination, mutual aid and unity across ethnic & faith communities, and also its subtle reminder that Sikhs are known badasses so why would you fuck with them.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Drafting some 'best of the year' posts and it turns out I've been on an old book kick for most of the year? So rather than talk about Parable of the Sower/Talents, or 1984, or House on the Borderlands etc I'm just going to make a thread shouting out the only 4 books from the 2020s I read this year

"Oh you also like 40k?" and the algorithm gets truly cursed.
Honestly, history and 40k videos are either the most deluded fash nonsense imaginable or the occasional queer leftist nerd who's actually great. There is zero in between.

Very funny moment at a friend's dance recital when one of the MCs, doing auidience work related to an upcoming Peaky Blinders themed dance, asked the crowd of 120ish kiwis to 'make some noise if you're a fan of the royal family!' only to be met with complete silence.

If you're in Ōtautahi, or will be in Ōtautahi sometime before April, go to the art gallery to see Unutai E! Unutai E! Kai Tahu and Anne Noble present images of Te Waipounamu's waterways as part of Kai Tahu's high court freshwater claim. The kōrero on these walls is like nothing else.

I will go to my grave screaming about how Pennywise being a clown hits completely different for anyone under 40 or 50, because the original intent was that Pennywise LOOKED HARMLESS, because “IT” predates scary clowns, & if the story were modern, Pennywise would manifest as a ninja turtle or Luffy
Welcome to Derry reveals why It loves to use the form of Pennywise the Clown so much.

In Sinners, certain musicians can channel the core essence of humanity; to weave the love, the community, the history that binds people together into song; to create a joy so fundamentally human that supernatural predators are drawn to consume it.
'I Lied To You' is believable as such a song.

For the record, I don’t support a social media age ban.
Leaving aside that it won’t work, and it will cause negative externalities by having kids hide illegal activities and being less likely to talk to parents about such, not to mention impacting queer kids more, it’s a sop for real regulation.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
