updated since i last played? the starsector pronouns are now "sir," "ma'am," and "captain" ("brother," "sister," and "walker" if you follow ludd)

imo this one (from one of the portrait packs) has some really good "captain" energy
little portrait of a pale-skinned, dark-haired person in a spacesuit, with big contoured eyebrows, a sizable plug earring, and a kind of fade/undercut haircut that's tousled on top

i do not trust or support david french, but it is, perhaps, notable how many conservatives are legitimately very, very tired of winning right now
The new right groans under the weight of its nostalgia for a nation that did not exist. It pines for a story that vindicates its reactionary rage. And in writing about a false enemy that destroyed a fake past, Andrews and the many other architects of the right-wing gender wars are committing the very sins they attribute to the enemies they detest. Their emotions have gotten the best of them. In the name of masculine toughness, their fear and insecurity lead them astray.

Disco Elysium screenshot: Rhetoric [Heroic: Failure] — Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about communism. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about communism, the alpha and omega of communism questions, and that question is: 1. - (Whisper.) "Are women bourgeois?"

an old twitter exchange Baked Alaska: "The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the civil war, and founded the KKK. But you'll never hear that in a history class." Krang T. Nelson: "lol you absolutely learn that in history class" Baked Alaska: "I was home schooled and it was not taught"

press-release statement with one word altered in a gratuitously blatant manner: His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew [CUOMO]. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.

i feel like Anne Askew was definitely autistic
wikipedia quote: Prior to their death, the prisoners were offered one last chance at pardon. Bishop Shaxton mounted the pulpit and began to preach to them. Askew listened attentively throughout his discourse. When he spoke anything she considered to be the truth, she audibly expressed agreement; but when he said anything contrary to what she believed scripture stated, she exclaimed: "There he misseth, and speaketh without the book."

i think the norse wolf is pretty cool, and i think we should be actively pushing to break the association of norse stuff with nazi imagery, but i think part of that push is that it's both fraught and cringe to use norse imagery as a cover-up for nazi tats
the cover-up tattoo over platner's tit-skull it's a wolf all bendy-like (so he kinda forms a big round shape) with some norse swirlies in him, and he's reading out his big curly tongue

"small skeletons inked on their chests"
post by Internet Hippo: New right wing thing is describing crimes as generically as possible to pretend like they're not crimes. Someone gets convicted of conspiracy and they start yelling "Wow so it's illegal to make plans with friends now"

here's the nazis tasked with committing the Holocaust in Schindler's List, another movie — alongside Inglorious Basterds, in particular — that someone my/Platner's age would likely have seen

excellent point, sir

i have no rebuttal
me: "that's literally *the* nazi skull in every nazi movie (because it's a direct copy of the historical one)" some guy named Jon Richardson: "Literally? So if I watch Where Eagles Dare, Downfall, The Sound of Music, The Odessa File, Valkyrie, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Longest Day, Inglorious Bastards etc etc I’ll see Totenkopfs all over in..every..single ..one? Even though it was an SS insignia, not for all Nazis? Do send screenshots!" me posting a whole bunch of SS guys from those movies even more SS guys from the movies
