great news

I mean this is their whole deal is being like ONLY WE CAN PREVENT X, then they say X IS STILL HAPPENING and it's like "well you've been in charge to prevent it but you didn't so we should elect you again and also X is real?" and they say YES.

If anyone running as a democrat in a statewide election in Texas gets a clean, clear win, it’ll be really hard for the state GOP to claim that there was election interference, because of how big of a to do they’ve made about passing onerous laws to “protect elections“. I still think they’d try tho

People idly believe the past was more honorable, civilized, and sexually puritanical than the present. It's like we have a cultural version of a child's belief that their parents don't fuck.

If you time machine'd George Washington here today and explained Jeffery Epstein to him he'd just shrug and be like 'Franklin and Jefferson have done worse'

I’m just putting it into the universe that if I could meet all my needs, one of them would be paying off the CareCredit card entirely.

"Why do you believe capitalism is inherently evil?" Markets go down when good things happen.

hear me out: what if the stock market didn't exist

I just don't care much for the over-corrective physical media fetishist who fixates on having whatever crap on price inflated collectors VHS for the sake of nostalgia chasing engineered by capitalism, cinema is an international language break free of that form

Whoever uses IG a lot I still encourage you to follow my backup, and for anyone to consider following me on Patreon as a free member. You pay nothing, and I don't have a lot to offer to free members, but it will function like a newsletter so that we won't lose each other over socmed being petty.

Heads up: this website also "reviews" publishers, writer-beware-style. Lists big reliable publishers as safe, warns about many known scams, and then... Lists a few scam presses as "safe and reliable". Couched in professional language with buzzwords about transparent contracts and payment schedules.

hey all i dont know what authorsdaily dot com is? but they have an "Interview" with me posted that i - never gave - is full of lies - has my wrong pronouns - is full of things i dont do - or would never say? so i emailed them and told them to take it down but jfc, i am tired

One of the wildest things to notice - & once you notice it, you can't help but see it in so much of their reporting - is just how utterly credulous, to the point of sappiness, NPR is. Taking tech company press releases at face value. Normalizing the GOP as a party that's merely lost its way. Etc

CASTLEVANIA III: DRACULA'S CURSE x FEVRE DREAM (GEORGE R.R. MARTIN) now live! Twitch.tv/technopoverty

Fetterman laid out the new politics meta, which is, I Am Having A Tummy Ache But Being Very Brave About It

Did people know how goofy it was to fuck to ragtime before hornier music was invented

Preparing to blast through 80% of the thing then getting caught on the last two levels

YO CASTLEVANIA PLAYERS LISTEN UP! YOU *CAN* FAST TRAVEL WITHIN A ZONE, THE GAME IS JUST RULL BAD AT TELLING YOU HOW

If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.

CASTLEVANIA III deathstream tonight CASTLEVANIA: BELMONT'S CURSE thereafter FEVRE DREAM (GEORGE R.R. MARTIN) talk throughout! 7:30pm cst Twitch.tv/technopoverty

ALAN WAKE is so good at knowing what information to deliver where that sounds simple but as a videogame its just such a Well Directed Thing I cannot shut the fuck up about it youtu.be/oAzvieRWUfQ

That's the bit everyone gets wrong. They try to look like the 80s/90s and they pick whatever was in fashion or what was on TV show sets at that time. Most people lag about a decade behind whatever the furniture and decor trends are because they only buy stuff when they need to replace them.

This is what Love Lies Bleeding got right about the 80s: everything in the 80s wasn’t neon and bright colors and crazy prints. Everything was fucking Brown

yup.

This season, you can send a postcard of your doodle request to a pal! 🎁💖 Check out the details in the OG post~

Ethics aside, this take could use some contact with reality. Biden's expanded CTC didn't motivate recipients to vote to maintain it. Trump offered $5000 checks and it hurt him in the polls. The empirical claim that welfare creates single issue voters just doesn't hold up.

Not solving Barbie was a key reason 2024 went down the way it did

I have discovered the exact, objective, scientific amount that Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder are lying and/or credulous. By solving this it means that I’ve won, which is the point of the movie, and really all movies if you think about it.

It’s incredible the things you don’t realize are sacred until you can no longer rely on them

it’s the most obvious wedge issue in the history of time. they dont care about sports, they want to make it impossible to be trans legally and socially and should be responded to as such. if you start earnestly debating about competitive integrity you are doing their work for them

We should have a system where if every eligible voter votes early we get the results early. I think a lot more people would be incentivize to vote if they knew that if they did it fast enough we might be spared like a week of election coverage.

I see the same thing with Dragon Age, people calling on EA to give the IP to another studio. A lot of folks keep bringing up Larian. Ignoring the demand that EA pick the pockets and hold an estate sale before the body is cold, it’s such a disrespectful move - to the devs, BioWare, and even Larian.

The corporate war on authorship

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!
