Sometimes i'm glad i'm not smart enough to be a Youtube essayist, no shade but imagine suffering through stuff made by groups you oppose, and then having to make a video about it while making sure it's good enough for HAL 9000 so it can give you your paycheck. make sure to give them your time of day
Shadow of the Conqueror is the infamous novel written by Shadiversity, a once well-respected sword youtuber turned grifter. His novel is an assortment of self-indulgent world-building, gratuitous violence, and unsurprising politics.
And I...read it all. God help me, I read all of it.
moving over to bluesky from twitter was huge for my mental health because twitter sucked so bad but over the years bluesky has now become pretty much just as bad because well it is also literally just twitter. we did build the demon again to be fair
Being critical of the whole picture behind my favorite politicians sucks sometimes, but i think it's necessary for actually having accountibility for those in power
It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
how about let's not blame minorities for worrying that their rights might be permanently revoked and actually work with them to make tangeble gains, m'kay?
you don't have to be a "vote blue no matter who" to support the demoratic party (in fact you should be more critical on your local representative's actions and rhetoric) but atleast be informed on the support base/movement that allowed them to reach the spot in the first place
If you can't handle watching a full video essay without speeding it up or as background music, then i just think you don't have the will to not shit your pants in public
Reading the manga of that Forex Trading anime and got to the point where the now Prime minister of Canada indirectly cause some poor girl to go bankrupt
I swear if collins manage to win after all that and then die or step downed after a day of being re-elected, i think maine should just should jusy get evicted from the union
look man i know this is before the whole this is revealed and is just for a brief moment but...maybe a disclaimer in the video description might be good?
Heinrich Himmler wanted Germans to bang in graveyards. Nazis only get weirder from there, and Wolfenstein gets it.

When an artist who inspires you turns out to be a rapist, your response cannot be to stop making art. Reject them, their work, the parts of them you once emulated, but don’t stop.
It wasn’t their crime that inspired you. Make the things they made you want to make. Fuck them; keep the inspiration.
the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾
Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus.
The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy.

I don't know comment too much on the whole Jacob geller situation because i don't have much info yet but it is actually sad to be on the other side of "content creator you watch turns out to be a horrible person"
We’re moving 10,000 low-income children off the child care voucher waitlist — at absolutely no cost to their families.
Eligible families with children ages 6 weeks to 13 years, and through age 19 for children with special needs, will be invited to apply for a voucher on a rolling basis.
The reason people love the Ea-nāṣir story is less the vitriol and more the fact that we couldn’t be more culturally different from a 4000 years dead Sumerian but we can totally relate. It shows us that no matter our superficial differences people are just people.

This is why. The content was restricted to age 18+ because of this (CENSORED) reference to people having sex. in a video that is like 50% footage of mass shootouts. which is exactly a point made in the video, in the segment that was restricted.
A bit of old news but i REALLY Don't like how this qoute is used by fans of contrapoint and folks right-of-center, which is often posted as a gotcha for any left of center activity that isn't MLK level activism
I REALLY don't like to be criticized by those left of me, so i decided to be consistent with what i believe to be for the collective good, mostly just to make them not nag me as often
