this is all Tiktaalik's fault
The modern far-right is heavily influenced by the writings of, this is not a joke, Nazi Satanist pedophiles.

Lois McMaster Bujold's THE CURSE OF CHALION has a thing called "death magic", where you call on a God to smite your enemies, if you're willing to pay the price. It is violently illegal to attempt or research, but not actually to commit, because definitionally, it's a miracle. You can't arrest God.

it's like they've forgotten what kind of periodical they are, and the more wretched elite culture has gotten, the more elliptical the nyt has become
whenever the nyt talks about trump, they try to do it in the style of the new yorker "talk of the town" section, like it would be gauche to come right out and say something, so they have to be fucking arch like joan didion. a news article about the nazi presidential candidate should not be "dry"
This headline stack is one for the time capsule. First, analyzing Harris's message discipline, which is common to normie politicians, as if it's uniquely revealing and shifty. Second, framing Trump's openly racist, completely dishonest stump rhetoric as if it's quirky and full of subtle meaning.

As @opinionhaver.bsky.social explained: flanderization. Some CODs had hallucination sequences that were well received, but since the arc of the AAA gaming industry trends towards slop, now half the missions are nightmare sequences where you call in drone strikes on the Childhood Trauma boss.

There are plenty of social conditions that are corrosive to human virtue, but the thing is, that they actually work. Virtue is in fact corroded.
