Even leaving aside the big question of what one might gain from having lunch with, for example, an enthusiastic supporter of genocide, even the best possible meeting will quickly boil down to comparing axioms and making note of whatever internal contradictions exist within them.

I asked a question about getting cash back and the cashier said ‘next time ask something about Philosophy’ and I popped off with ‘What do you think of Hildegard of Bingen’s Scivas?’ They copped to preferring the 20th century logical positivists, so you know, problematic but at least honest.

The number of people still seemingly unaware that Substack has a Nazi problem means it’s apparently worth mentioning yet again that Substack has a fucking Nazi problem.

Conversion therapy is alive and well in the UK. Every day that the UK and Scottish Governments fail to ban this evil practice is another day that queer people’s lives are ruined.

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social There is a cute little cozy game mobile called Tiny Bookshop where you sell books and make recommendations in this little ;”(very queer) town BOTH of your books are in the database and I’ve successfully recommended them multiple times. I just found that sweet.

@iwriteok.bsky.social Are you able to recommend abt books about the Abewehr? I have ‘Hitler's Nest of Vipers’, ‘Hitler's Trojan Horse’ and ‘Fighting to Lose’ on order.

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

ok but pulitzer for whoever got this shot, it’s so good

A thing that blew me away about the whole Blake Lively thing was not the existence of guys who are deeply sexist and deeply contemptuous of women but who fetishise womanhood and childbirth in particular But that unless you’re already invested in feminism and women-as-people that guy is invisible

Launch Party for Social Installations with my beautiful friend Lori Watt

This is one of the hardest losses I’ve seen in a bit. They had a 14 Apocalypse in hand and Dracula triggered on the 0/1 Djinn. Ouch. #MarvelSnap

Attention, Runners! We have a new promo out! This is the first video we've released for Zombies, Run! in a really long time, and we're excited to share it. Raise the gates!

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

I’m not quite finished with it yet but Punisher: One Last Kill appears to be ‘if you took every idiotic edge lord bullshit garbage comic of the 90’s and made it manifest in 50 minutes of TV’.

This is the most tragically stupid take on a fight scene I have read in a long time. There isn’t a moment of that fight that isn’t clear, coherent and easily tracked. It’s also one of the best examples of ‘action as character building ’ in movie making history.

I have come to realize that one reason I have emotional attachments to so many superheroes is they were the only competent cis men I knew growing up.

Cis males are physically superior… except when they all get beaten by over an hour in a 250 mile ultra marathon. Congratulations to the winner of the Cocodona 250 miler by 78 minutes, Rachel Entrekin, her third win.

Fowler at #SI2026 After many years of struggles, now nearly 200 shark species are listed on CITES and are considered threatened wildlife, not just natural resources to be exploited and low priority species for management.

Today, as we turned for home on evening walkies Thor went a different way. I could have picked him up and continued home. I didn’t. We kept walking till he turned west again himself. I have no plans, other than to be with him.

Flabbergasted by people saying Daredevil: Born Again is brilliant storytelling. It’s so obviously, objectively NOT? It’s riddled with structural issues, obfuscated narrative points, weird nonsensical ‘character’ beats. Hey it’s REALLY GOOD! I like it a lot! But it’s not peak anything.

we've moved from "shooting yourself in the dick" to "pouring lemon juice into the hole you shot in your dick"

hour 4 of @marzgurl.com's Vic video has been a crazy watch so far. MAJOR blast from the past as a 2000's anime fan but in a terrible way bc i too was one of those girls watching panel videos. had i lived in a major US city growing that hosted anime cons, so much of this could have happened to me Dx

It’s not ‘feminine rage’. It’s just rage. You are allowed to be angry, without qualification or diminishment. Your wrath is allowed not to have a cute name or productive purpose. We have always BEEN the Furies. Be furious.

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.
