We worked closely with cultural consultants and brought in creatives with deep expertise in the Afrofantasy genre to help shape the world of Zhalfir. #MTGZhalfir

you know that thing where shitty writers will have a character "ironically" acknowledge the unironically shitty plot device, trope, etc being used, as if that's all that's needed to absolve the movie/show/book of the issue they made, but were too lazy, apathetic, or incompetent to resolve...

adhd is knowing you probably just tripped the circuit on the garbage disposal, not googling it to be sure for 6mo, using a strainer to drain the sink, then taking the .5sec to flip the button a week after finally confirming your suspicion the same night you rip up 1/4 of the carpet you've hated 5yrs

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

i know that tech has moved very quickly over the last 20 years, but I think we're well past the point of portraying millennials, much less gen z, as having their phones on anything other than silent/vibrate in horror scenarios

getting real tired of these people playing in our face...

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

exactly! think of all the exploitation and manipulation the military puts into recruiting from poor and marginalized communities... isolating a new recruit from support systems (and viewpoints) outside of the squad, by whatever means that entails, is a feature not a bug

CEO of Beckett Mariner@kariizumi.bsky.social

I can't even be surprised the Marines would do this, more than any other branch, the make active strives to break bonds with anyone a recruit knew before basic Was in the Navy myself and had no fewer than 3 others in my division get dumbed after their SOs joined the Marines

as current atheist who was in church 4+ days a week, always had their hand up first in sunday school, and never lost a bible drill at vacation bible school all through my adolescence... i don't think this is gonna go they way they think it is

Utah just became potentially the first state in the country to require students to read Bible passages in public school as part of their social studies lessons — starting as early as third grade. We want to know where you stand.

i know y'all not ready for the conversation (cuz you BARELY gaf when it's brown & black ppl getting gunned down & caged up in your own neighborhoods, so those halfway across the world don't even register), but ACAB INCLUDES the military

everyone is framing this as ice vs the marines as if the first paragraph doesn't clearly say that it's THE MARINES that are requiring & checking people's papers. if anything, ice is probably there to take the heat off the marines so they don't look AS bad during their cannon-fodder recruitment drive

just when i think all hope is lost for thoughtful media (an especially music) criticism jia tolentino goes and writes "sorrow is the content. ecstasy is the form." about robyn's new album and some small part holding it all together heals within me

yea... i'm barely on here as it is & i don't have another migration in me, so once this one really starts going to shit i'll probably just be done with social media (tiktok doesn't count lol)

Just FYI, you won't see me at the big ReedPop conventions (ECCC, SDCC, C2E2, NYCC, etc) because their parent company is infamous for feeding people's data to ICE. Honestly it wasn't a hard call, half these shows put all the artists in haunted basements now anyway bleedingcool.com/pop-culture/...

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and started a pointless war. But the wine mom next door still says "Latinx" sometimes. I have never felt more politically homeless.
