Ten years ago you didn't hear some new scandal about Nazis every fucking day. This is not normal, and it's not okay.
![John Wick is a fairy
FanTheory
Pasting from this Twitter thread:
Only works for favours, tallied thru gold coins
Can be bound by blood promises against his will
Lives in a world unseen by passers-by
Values sacred ground & rituals
Has a special bond w/ animals
Does not tire or feel pain as a human would
Above all, the other fairies all speak in awed tones of him as the only one to "get out". Through sheer strength of will he crossed over into our world for the love of a human.
Further evidence: administration is run with 2000-era flip phones, 1980s computers, 1930s switchboards. Because it's all stolen technology.
Can only be harmed by weapons containing iron
Is hot in a frightening way
Don't steal his shit
Remarkable loyalty and adherence to the Rules of his World, even to his detriment.
Presents as asexual. (We know he loves a human woman, but there's been zero discussion of 'I wanted a family'. The dogs aren't even presented as surrogate children.)
[The third film] reveals that he is very careful with who knows his true name
the High Table is the Faerie Court, with all their internal games and betrayals and, above all, absolute maintenance of the power system that keeps them in charge
speaks all languages (gift of tongues)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4bxxo7x3xtkzflys3mnyplwf/bafkreibmj63ouu6k7ss7urgifxfx35mnu3npzj2kmdaccrh7bgrkc3mx74@jpeg)

Notice that @aptshadow.bsky.social ’s Children of Time is 99p on kindle in the UK. If you have any interest in SF and haven’t read it, this is a no-brainer.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:
Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
