Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

“Death paused. YOU HAVE PERHAPS HEARD THE PHRASE, he said, THAT HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE?

‘Yes. Yes, of course.’

Death nodded. IN TIME, he said, YOU WILL LEARN THAT IT IS WRONG.”
Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms

“What’s so hard about pulling a sword out of a stone? The real work’s already been done. You ought to make yourself useful and find the man who put the sword in the stone in the first place, eh?”

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Everyone always wants to know “Who is the American gestapo?” but no one ever stops to ask “How is the American gestapo?”
Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.

But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.

Yes, they "chose" those jobs. But...

James Cameron walks into a boardroom full of movie executives, meanders over to the whiteboard and writes "WHALE" in big block letters. They stare in confusion and wonder.
Then, he adds a symbol to the end. "WHALE$." All the executives start making loud whooping noises and crapping their pants

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

When billionaires say they "add jobs," they mean non-union, minimum wage, no healthcare jobs. Gee, thanks.

Some people actually search specifically for fan-art from their favourite game / movie / TV series!

And if your amazing 10/10 drawing comes with no description better than "God I love this show so much", guess whose art people WON'T find despite being exactly what they're looking for?! 🙃
artists fleeing twitter!
do remember to add alt text to your images!
you'll be throwing away reach if you don't use alt text!
also it's morally correct!

Immigration is incredible because it's one of the few policy areas where people are willing to suffer real, concrete consequences in order to solve completely imaginary problems.

We need to disabuse ourselves of the 2014-2020 Twitter idea that we are doing A Necessary Good by correcting the Public Bad Opinions. It doesn’t actually work, it makes things worse!

Just do the things you think are good and valuable!

Will Stancil sucks and will never stop sucking so let me just inform you you can block him and never think about him more than 2x a year and then also if enough of us just block him then that frequency reduces by at least half and i promise you you are no less informed of a person for doing so

In practice arguing for gender as a construct while not fully pushing sex as changeable has led to cis people, conservative and liberal, seeing sex as set in stone truth and gender as either fake gay shit to hate or fake gay shit to be polite about that doesn't actually change one's preconceptions

there are stories in the torah that take place during the exodus where it feels like yahweh is a monster lurking just outside of the hebrews' camp killing off stragglers, and moses and aaron barely keeping him at bay, it's very evocative!

this actually reminds me that someone on the academic biblical subreddit said you should read the priestly law code in the torah like the instructions manual for a nuclear reactor: a very dry and very detailed description of how to control something immensely powerful and dangerous
