James Baldwin's story "Going to Meet the Man" is about a violently racist deputy, Jesse, during the civil rights movement.
In this passage, Jesse begins to trace the creeping sense of doom he and his colleagues share in their brutal suppression of protesters.

i feel like Mr. Bones (for Sega Saturn) is one of those games that someone absolutely could have and perhaps SHOULD have made into their entire personality. i wand a level of Mr. Bones-posting identical to or beyond that of The Ooze-posting.

The folks who got mad at us for noting that Something Awful's forums were the origin point of our present-day American political dystopia in a recent Retronauts episode owe us a massive apology

I don't get why people think rapists would pretend to be transgender. Transgender people get treated worse than rapists.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

every FBI/CIA show has a painfully unfunny person and a painfully obtuse person and they both make you mad because even though the quirky one loads every sentence with 110 percent quirk, you can still generally follow them, but then the dense one is all "English, egghead" and it's like "come on man"

I am hearing that on his deathbed Scott Adams received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his Prophet!

my sort of underbaked take is i liked the dilbert comic strip as a kid because its depiction of a banal and arbitrary work environment where nonsensical top-down policies dictated my life resonated much more with my experience of school than my life later in the work force
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job
