I just reminded myself of the band I Decline and I'm gonna pin this tweet until I remember to recover the songs I have from them
The idea of a National Woodcutters Party tickled me so much I put them in the game as a stand-in for the Freemasons

I'm basically finished with the game manual/document for the New Vanguardia game. Yes it is 78 pages long, but only like 30 have game rules and less is needed to get started, a lot is reference material.

I really want to stress that this is not how I approach other people if I actually want to talk to them about something. I don't scrape and grovel but I don't open up with like "Actually all that shit you said is bad, here's my thing which is better", that's fucking insane to do.

Every time I say atheists who think shit like "I THINK ALL 230 MILLION CHRISTIANS SUPPORT CAPITALIST PROTESTANT WORK ETHIC INCLUDING THE CATHOLICS" are bad, an atheist who thinks like this comes out and tries to prove they aren't like that, but they always are

I don't think there has been a single atheist I've ever read who condescended to belief who I didn't think came across like the dumb person in the conversation. Religious people don't fear death is it. That's what you think the purpose is. Okay man.

Let me put it to you this way: if you refuse to believe that religion involves an honest search for truth, you will never understand it, and you'll never understand why you can't just wipe it out. Not "you can't outlaw it", but "people will recreate it out of nothing".

If I was writing a sci-fi dystopia with some kind of all present robot voice, the voice I would choose is Shirley Strawberry doing the podcast Toyota commercials. Drives me absolutely nuts.

lmao had the first little confusion because I decided I wasn't going to do a stupid request. That's a lie, I was going to do it, I just sat on it all day, then the person got too antsy and followed up. Now someone else is reaching back out and I have to be like "actually we took care of this"

downwardly mobile educated alienated elite-adjacents clearly are a large part of the contemporary american left's constituency, but it's such a stupid thing to have a complex about or considering particularly damming. read like any history book ever about who starts political movements.

For the record, I do think that Patton Oswalt would have put her in the woodchipper but I don't think he would have had the chance. He probably doesn't own a woodchipper.

Clicking around on wikipedia and I saw Bill Bixby went through that thing where he got cancer and then his wife was like "actually I don't want to be married to a cancer guy" and bounced, that sucks. He was famous so he married again but still.

"The Courtship of Eddie's Father" is the funniest name for a TV show I've ever heard, I can't believe they produced this
It's crazy that My Loser Daddy Is A Big Shot is partially a remake of The Courtship of Eddie's Father

"Actually I don't even go to Starbucks, their coffee is disgusting."
Probably an unpopular opinion but “don’t type death threats even jokingly, yes that means you” seems to be one of the few real Bluesky rules and not something I personally struggle with.

it's because he wasn't actually banned for a death threat, thats just the excuse they gave to permanently get rid of a large account criticizing them
Since Sarah Kendzior’s account has been restored for a “death threat”- I’m wondering why Link’s hasn’t… does Bluesky take alleged threats against their CEO more seriously than ones against other people? Will Patton Oswalt also have a full account ban?

LRT It really does seem like the main impetus for the backlash against Me Too, Corbyn I, etc. was not even ideological but self-preservation. People were getting into power who were likely to investigate past crimes and that had to be stopped.

It's crazy that people keep having these outsized reactions to others calling them transphobic, it seems like it would be easier to simply not believe, say, or do transphobic things and then people won't call you transphobic but idk

"I think if we ban polo shirts that everybody's neck will finally be free, and then we will reach such a level of consciousness that we will dismantle all systems of oppression." That's what you sound like.
As a person who writes fantasy and sci-fi and wishes he did it for a living, some people's ideas of politics are so goofy. "Destroy the suburbs and you will bring down the power of small tyrants". Yeah I think that's the big thing, too. Once we get rid of lawns bosses will decide being shitty is bad

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:
