reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

I complained earlier that WaPo's story on Trump inviting PizzaGate guy to the White House was insane. Not so this Independent story.
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Not to be outdone, in came Jack Posobiec, one of the right’s weirdest hangers-on, who is perhaps most famous for the time he spread the “Pizzagate” theory and then got removed from the pizzeria in question by police for filming a child’s birthday party. Running with the major theme of the hour — that Antifa is definitely, certainly, really real despite all evidence to the contrary, and that everybody needs to stop saying it’s not real — Posobiec made a startling claim: Antifa is so clearly real that it “has been going on for almost 100 years ... going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany.” And look, yes, it is absolutely true that there were anti-fascist protesters in the Weimar Republic. If you’ll remember, those were the people taking issue with the early versions of the Nazis. But it’s sort of difficult to position yourself as the good guys if you’re aligning yourself with the Nazis in your historical analogy. I’m just saying that, if I was Posobiec’s publicity guy, I might ask him to drop that soundbite from future public appearances.

I think it's an important aspect of rating and reviewing any mecha show to analyse how badly the production crew wanted to fuck the robots

Seems like if several ubiquitous health care interventions cause autism, we should really be studying those freaks who ended up neurotypical.

I must be getting more sensitive to allergens as I get older because some days I wake up and I literally can't stop sneezing. This morning I sneezed like 10 times in a row, then took an allergy pill. And then I didnt sneeze for hours. Anyway it's wearing off and I ran out of tissues AHH

Dunno if anyone here has read the Captive Prince trilogy, but I became possessed by a thousand angry ghosts to write a mecha/Gundam pilot AU of the series. It was meant to be a horny oneshot thay got filled by lore and plot instead 🙏

I've been making a genuine effort to use the term "fanworks" instead of "content"
I feel like it's important, with the rise of fandom fracturing into a "consumer demands" type of vibe instead of the old hobby enjoying and friendship vibe I am more used to

Persona 5 fanart of Joker dipping Akechi in a dance in their Thief outfits amidst broken glass. Joker has tears in his eyes as Akechi glares at him, unaffected. In Akechi's hand, he holds Joker's mask. Close-up of the same art.

A drawing of Goro Akechi in a white background. He is walking towards the camera and looking forward with a face of tiredness and exasperation, he has a nosebleed that has dripped onto his shirt, sunglasses on his head and a hip gun holster on his right leg. He is wearing charcoal dress pants and sports jacket, a white shirt underneath with a red tie and black fingerless gloves and tactical boots. a close-up to the face of the character in the previous picture

I am beyond the point of "I wanna finish this fic so I can clean it up and share it! Because I love it so much!" I'm at "I am going to end this fic so it gets out of my head and leaves me alone"

Every time I think I can finally wrap up this plot on 2-3k words, I suddenly add in a "complication" that will double that. Why do I do this to myself.

My 7-year-old: Puppies can't get married.
Me: Oh?
Her: Because they wouldn't bring any people to the wedding. And they wouldn't know how to get there.
Me: Ah.
Pause.
Her: I'm going to be a hamster whisperer when I grow up.
Me: Wow. Those are some excellent thoughts.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
A pika sits on a mossy rock. Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head. An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye. An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.
