I have once again forgotten my anniversary of the Sputnik 2 mission because of health reasons.

Trauma has a good way of keeping tabs on the calendar. Not to remind you of your defining achievement, but the remind you to feel bad once again for the thing that happened to you because you were good.
I'm putting together the collection of my poems and short stories from 10 years ago and this is basically the introduction I just wrote.

Like, y'all aren't grown anymore. This is why lore is so popular because it's memorization not analysis.

One of the 1st things in one of our games is about this.
I REALLY need to stop trying to engage in honest and open media or writing discussion on social media. It's literally never not taken the wrong way. fuck me. lol

I'm old enough to remember when they'd throw the book at people downloading songs on Napster.

It is journalistic malpractice to be within a city block of Vance and not read him this tweet through a bullhorn
Well, he's certainly stayed consistent on that point!

I am certain that Ms. Rachel would take a bullet for any Jewish kid and is being called racist by a society that gives their Jewish kids jail time if they don't put on a combat vest and die in the sand and kill the kids Ms. Rachel is gambling everything to try to save.

Ms. Rachel is from God.

"Tools Engineer" is a whole career in computer science.
under my regime if a company uses the term “tools” to refer to something without measurable weight which cannot be physically brandished and used as a weapon, that company will be dissolved and its assets seized

Okay so can we have a definitive list of what does and does not constitute sandwich assault on ICE agents?

Mustard and onions seems to be a sticking point, what fillings are allowed?

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The lack of media literacy and the enmeshing of Nazi humor into our mainstream is a problem as younger marginalized people don't understand that the point of Nazi "jokes" is to be indistinguishable from actual advocacy that is otherwise unconscionable. "It's a joke" is a permission structure.

I'm so sorry for thinking about that. And that. That, too.

Laika in Arabic is a name that means "capable, intelligent, deserving."

In Russian it means "barker."

In English it means "Dog who was betrayed by the people she trusted and sent to die in space for propaganda reasons."

I am all these things.

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days
