Year of Linux on the Beach confirmed

lmao do these specimens still actually exist

didn't expect this honestly, good news

this'll be the first time we see him pull out that little laser sword of his and go to town

Johnny Cash said "prisons suck" instead of moderating his rhetoric to be more electable for a Democratic victory. What a woke idiot! Reagan's reign was just around the corner!

this is a very good piece

someone I knew had a funny term "funkopop liberals" for deeply unserious examples

CET gang

imagine going "mass unrest in France? just another trick up Putin's sleeve, don't be fooled"

liberals have really permanently lost their mind over Putin

Will Durant really wrote a popular history of philosophy and then went "this is great, but to fully appreciate it you must understand all of known history" and proceeded to write 11 volumes with his wife, ending just after Napoleon we don't get insane projects like this anymore but I salute them

not nearly as good as Aria of Sorrow in my view, but definitely worth a run

how dare you make me feel old like this

The H3 podcast imploding bc Ethan Klein cheated is really like Al Capone getting caught for tax evasion

the genocidal zionist apologia was apparently fine, but cheating? that's just unacceptable

damn

This whole thing is so funny Especially ShadIversity trying to convince right-wing youtubers that AI genderswap Malfoy is a conservative cultural victory 😭 www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2d7...

so true biggest western civilization W since sound of freedom

weird little rag dolls fight against steampunk's version of AI apocalypse machine it's good I guess, but I feel like it could have explored more of this strange world

this website has really ruined some artists for me because they post about their dumb as fuck politics

it's a Liam Neeson film where he's a secret badass, and the kind of thriller that you watch with your family and hear your mother gasp at the appropriate places I can't really knock it, it's quite entertaining and there's collusion between evil government officials and sex traffickers, classic stuff

relevant once again

Listening to Neera Tanden asked to define the difference between left and liberal, on my mind is the classic quote from the Yugoslav film Balkan Spy "Stalin was killing you, but he wasn't killing you enough"

🤡

I've been saying this for a good while, but I'm deeply convinced that "fascism was a justified reaction to the threat of communism" is going to become a mainstream historical position, upheld by institutional power, if socialists don't make major gains in the near future I see it spread everywhere

your dear liberals loved hitler, shut the fuck up

good point

t's that time when I have to actively dodge american election discourse wherever I look online

it's almost incomprehensible for mine and later generations to believe that masses of people used to genuinely see themselves as part of an ongoing social transformation, which would make all the sacrifices worth it just believing in something like this now is "extremism"

we're assaulted from all sides by the idea that we need to be pragmatic electoral realists, acquiring an actual hopeful horizon for the future has become a matter of individual effort, such as reading theory this is not sustainable without a collective project

the secret of liberals turning into fascists is probably that so many liberals already think that the entirety of politics consists in preventing democracies from collapsing into fascism, so it's only rational to join such an eternally powerful enemy when resistance is futile

for the true ancient traditionalists, there has always been one gender (male) and multiple deformed offshoots of males

Worryingly Thin Doggo

looking at early modern artists who focused on church interiors, these are extremely cool (the top two are Flemish Catholic churches painted by Pieter Neefs the Elder, bottom two Dutch Calvinist churches by Pieter Saenredam)

still thinking about this cuz I think it's such a great characterization of fundamentalism, and not just concerning religion too

I did not encounter this letter before, thanks for the spicy quote 😌 wikirouge.net/texts/en/Let...

with the magic of bchunk I have the FLAC file of the original AoE2 CD soundtrack, cool

many slop merchants like this

github.com/jowtron/mcic... wow this actually works it's the first CD audio playback workaround I've found that isn't extremely annoying (for old games that loaded music straight from the CD)

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…
