"You only need to believe for the length of the ritual"

Brenan Lee Mulligan talking about engaging in pagan rituals as a form of poetry as a stone-cold atheist and hitting me like a sack of pennies

Love this as a defense of the NYT's behavior re:Trump. No no, it's not journalistic malpractice, because the paper KNEW that there was a connection between a presidential candidate and a convicted sex trafficker.

It was so boring that they couldn't possibly investigate further. Or tell people.
They knew Trump and Epstein had a relationship. That wasnt a secret. Haven’t seen anything in the Landon exchanges that does much to advance anything specific. Seems like an incredibly minor plot point, even by last 12 hours standard.

Even when you try and apply a lot of attributes to games you can end up in trouble

Both Blue Prince and Slay the Spire could be described as Rogue-like Deckbuilders but damn, they're hard to consider kin.

This essay is great though, and even if games defy genre, it's given me more terms to use.
I'm a "metroidbrainia" defender, but I agree with this thesis. These games don't all belong in the same bag, and the more granular the genres can get, the easier it'll be to find and make more!

Humanity is so bad at genre names, though. Books have an entire category just called "fiction" ffs

I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

It's truly hard to overstate how much the NYT has fucked this whole country.
Epstein: I’m best friends with this pedo running for President, here’s a bunch of stories about how big a pedo he is

NYT: but her emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

The email with Epstein where they discuss all the ways they can "hang" Trump just feels too on-the-nose as a set up in fiction.
The only conspiracy theory I've ever believed in trending towards being true is making me feel like I'm going crazy

POTUS gave a convicted child sex abuser favorable treatment, and dangled the prospect of a pardon, so she would tell lies about if he was implicated in her crimes. That's not speculative or circumstantial, it's a cold hard proven fact, in and of itself more than enough to demand removal from office.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

I literally can't think of a movie or show that Tim Blake Nelson doesn't elevate. Even the Hulk, which I found thoroughly unengaging, was joyful when TBN shows up to be Horny About Hulks
god I love The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, I love the titular first short, Tim Blake Nelson as the cheeriest psychopath is so goddamn funny

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Fuck, I had given up hope on a season 2 of this, I must have missed the renewal notice. So excited! Go watch Deadloch!
🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...
