Extremely cool that one of the most iconic figures of our modern society is centered on the simple moral "with great power comes great responsiblity" and literally every instance of authority in society is dead set on living tve exact opposite

My favorite pro-communist fact about Pol Pot was that the CIA backed him and it was communist Vietnam that did regime change to him

A thing driving me absolutely insane is the fascism about "fairness in girls sports" stuff us happening at the exact same time as sportsbook corruption is undermining competition at every level *including little league* and no one is doing shit about it

People are always talking about how it sucks Surf Dracula doesn't touch a board until the last episode, but completely overlook how good the plot about the music industry stealing the Transylvania Twist from his band is. The vampiric weaknesses means surfing is deadly. He's contemplating suicide

We need a mnemonic for major transneptunian objects for them to feel smart again

I am convinced this is because incurious people that don't know (or frankly, care) much about space DO remember some 9-planet mnemonic from their childhood, and that is What They Know About Space. Then some eggheads changed science up on them, and they're *wrong*. It's a reactionary position.

Gonna be honest, was a little surprised MAWS season 3 didnt end with Superman teleporting Eradicator to King Kai's planet. This is on purpose, right? Someone connected to the show has said they are doing it on purpose?

A surprisingly sharp and easily missed bit of satire in yani neko: the workers at the job placement service that sends the catpeople to work in low paying hazardous jobs are all humans, but they wear cat ear headphones as a how do you do fellow kids thing

Fandom: A Comics Quadrilogy (2021)

Aaron@ajvark.bsky.social

@beanytuesday.bsky.social good timezones. If I could make a repost request, could you please repost "Fandom"- A Comics Quadrilogy here? If you don't want to that's okay though.

MUSIC in the sky 19 different saudi guy Cmon get up feel the power Airplane hit the second tower Every boy and every girl War on terror in the world Dance to rhythm dance to dream Jet fuel can't melt steel beam!

So at the risk of explaining away the funny, this is jank of how Prodigal Sorcerer was translated to Spanish in alpha, as he has Sorcerer in the name, but is Creature - Wizard. And since Wizard and Sorcerer are distinct types, when they got the first Creature - Sorcerer, a new word was needed

An important skill neglected by an alarming number of people is "accuracy assessing why a person is bad and treating them accordingly." "A self aggrandizing twerp who sucks" is not the same as "a soulless money ghoul" is not the same as "a literal nazi" Accurately assessing your enemies matters.

Okay. Guys, remember on Mad Men the "its toasted!"where we imply an insufficiency in our competition by staring at true but irrelevant fact about our product? What if we imply our competitors sell used product? So anyway our new ad copy is "for sale, baby shoes, never

I suppose I don't watch WWE so they aren't making decisions based on my opinions, but releasing the entire Wyatt Sicks does make me feel like they have even less to offer me than before Tony, pick these people up and do some spooky bullshit with them. They got an aesthetic I vibe with.

So what I'm hearing is that nuclear annihilation was averted and Trump is now negotiating with Iran. Hey, Netanyahu, you know that thing you always do during negotiations with Iran? This would be the one time it would be fuckin hilarious

Remember when the heroes were ex-confederates in space, and we just weren't supposed to acknowledge that the "freedom from alliance control" was represented at all junctures by the permission to have tiny colonies of robber barons, slavers and rapists, and we just weren't supposed to question that?

I do not need new Firefly. It ended. It’s over. It’s DONE.

Normally I find christian apologetics tedious, but it feels more and more like GK Chesterton was cooking with the "evil is always stupid and petty and shitty in exactly the same way and there is no such thing as an evil genius."

Question: is Bruce Wayne in the files? ANTI: hes not a pedophilic monster no matter what Fredric Wertham thinks PRO: he will do anything for the mission, which includes making the world think Bruce Wayne is a typical scumbag billionaire fuckboy

I feel like we have ample evidence that since body cams and surveillance cameras just "happen" to be off or broken when accusations of misconduct occur we should have long moved to a presumption of malfeasance for officials. If you can't prove you didn't beat them, the city or fed can pay them 100k

Has anyone checked to see if Epstein was also responsible for basically every porn video online being that offputting stepsister stuff?

I dont know why people call the Bible honophobic. In context its clear Pontius Pilate is the bad guy when he calls Jesus and Icky Homo.

The fact that Davos is full of european armed guards who are directing force at protesters and not one of them is even considering it is proof Europe has less of a leg to stand on than the Anerican civilians they're bitching at

Love to see Europeans talk about the international order as if this isn't how it's always worked and they aren't a part of this system. This is, effectively, Texas asserting their having guns and loving Freedom more means they should own Liberty Island instead of New Jersey

If I were an oil executive, would consider the IG Farben Trial convictions forbenefiting my portfolio at the behest of a rapidly declining pedophile and wonder if the potential prison time in the future would be worth the money now. Because at this point. There will HAVE to be a fall guy.

So everyone saying "Maduro was bad but..." do you even have a source for that first part that isn't breathless quotes from be-lanyarded ghouls who will assert killing babies with fentanyl in colorado are among his very real crimes?

Remember like a month ago when this administration tried to have a big show trial to charge a guy as a terrorist for throwing a sandwich and their fully made up evidence ended with an acquittal? A repetition would be very funny if dreadfully bleak

Fun fact: despite basically unpersoning hundreds of sex workers and creative for the crime of drawing tits while queer, you can still use a Mastercard to pay your X checkmark verification fee after its been exposed as just a giant engine for producing revenge porn and CSAM. Wait that's not fun.

"So by the miraculous and studious works of our most learned chiurgeons, men born with the hearts and minds of women, or women with the hearts and minds of men, can have a body that suits them just as God almighty intended them." I say. "Woaw. Based" says Richard II Lionheart.

My opposition to AI would disappear if it was relegated where it belongs: an art toy, like spirograph or a cat-piano for babies. Maybe once in a blue moon some weirdo does an installation with it to comment on the blurred line between play and expression, but nowhere connected to money or power
