THREAD OF NARRATIVE MOMENTS THAT GIVE ME STENDHAL'S SYNDROME:
Fuck the Scott-Jean-Logan and the Kurt-Ororo-Logan love triangles. The X-Men were a fully fledged polycule with lots of orgies and swapping.
They are just super careful about it because they share mansion with lots of teens and they don't want to influence any of them.

Esto es mentira, que no os engañen. Un mes tardaron conmigo desde un diagnóstico inicial a tener todas las pruebas y estar operada. He tenido muy cerca dos casos de operación urgente y tardaron 5 días en uno de los casos y 4 horas en otro. Hay que defender a muerte lo que tenemos y mejorarlo

2025 recap: Insane.
On a larger note, it feels that this has been the year when a few seeds that were planted some time ago took root and started to flourish. I feel complete and (almost) healthy, and aligned with who I want to be.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The whole Cameron's Avatar franchise is so soulless that I bet you can point to it as a pivot point in our society ceasing to consume art and moving towards consuming "content".
and not a penny to the Lakota, who’s story Cameron exploited to create a pseudo-pan-Indigenous alien fantasy that helps no one but his own pocket.
This world’s priorities are all wrong.

So Avatar's James Cameron referred to the Lakota as a "dead-end society" that should have
"fought harder"
"I felt like I was 130 years back in time watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were being pushed and they were being killed and they were being asked to displace and they were being given some form of compensation," he said. "This was a driving force for me in the writing of Avatar - I couldn't help but think that if they [the Lakota Sioux] had had a time-window and they could see the future... and they could see their kids committing suicide at the highest suicide rates in the nation... because they were hopeless and they were a dead-end society - which is what is happening now - they would have fought a lot harder."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:z3niwkals3quzvig6aztwbd2/bafkreiahua3fctol6m66z2udcau6umj5yiwybca2ikupbrz2xghl5qfnli@jpeg)

We should start counting years backwards (as in next year we go back to 2024, the next to 2023...) just so 2000 years from now people start freaking out. "WHAT DID THE ANCIENTS KNOW? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN YEAR ZERO???"

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

"Specific Game Features" meaning that GTA VI will have game mechanics where you act as a masive corporation exploiting and abusing workers.
Rockstar now claims it was, in fact, the leaking of “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” that led to the firings.
We’re going to have to see the company prove this in an employment tribunal & more than that, it’ll need to prove it for all 31 fired employees in the UK too.

Rockstar has claimed the employees it recently fired were dismissed because they leaked game features for upcoming and unannounced titles in Discord, not because they were trying to unionize. https://bit.ly/48A0tTf

That neurodivergent urge to believe a day was wasted because you thought you were going to do one (1) thing and instead you did about a thousand (1000) but not that one (1) (which you did about 33% of, anyway).
