As a reminder, in 2020, more than 60 people accused Warren Ellis of grooming and sexual impropriety, coming together to create the website somanyofus.com. In its most recent update, in 2023, the site posted: "To the best of our knowledge, Warren Ellis took none of the steps we hoped he would."

tara "tara wrist" hillegeist. i dabble. (once, i moonlighted as a dragon golem vtuber for a time. one day i shall do so again.) if you're here you're here for 1 of 3 things: media criticism, dialectical materialism, or unhinged reposts of what i like.
I think every fucking discussion about AI should be about how it was used to undress women before it was used for any useful purpose
anorexia is literally how my wife died and how I became disabled. It is not unreasonable to say someone who looks like my wife did 3 weeks before death from heart failure at 23 is at risk
not to be pop culture brained but it is kind of crazy how libfem shit is being weaponized against ppl who are like holy shit Ariana Grande is about to die. fellas is it anti-woman to express concern about the health of a woman and the high mortality rates of eating disorders
Patlabor on Television Episode 27 A Calling Voice in the Dark
well, i can say one thing for sure: whoever wrote this was inarguably a big fan of the style tomino wrote in for the original gundam novelization, and probably heinlein in turn. inarguably, conclusively. the voice is unmistakeable
Absolutely incredible description of Jung Freud buying two bottles of Pepsi from the first Gunbuster novelization.
i am simply sorry but you are not going to get me to consider harry potter but with dragons and all the slytherins have ae in their name somewhere and only avoid making habsburgs out of it because they're half-blood princes one and all some kinda pervert outsider art instead of mainstream popslop
if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

I identify with this image more then anything on earth
this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."
always the ego with these people. again and again the same wounding triggering a double down response that digs them into a hole full of worms hungry for their brain
Trans ally Ken Jennings is blocking trans women like whoa...
at the risk of being pithier than necessary: as a result of it being part of a coherent ideological ambition shepherded by a consistent team over the course of a decade and more, it could be about something with moral stakes, not merely deck-shuffling for-stance's-sake.
If pre-Massacre 80s X-Men is where the Morrison and Hickman versions have their seeds, post-Massacre X-Men is where the 90s begins: a constant colourful clash (sometimes between X-Teams) between different mutant ideologies or schemes. But since I prefer Morrison/Hickman, why do I dig this so much?
This is an excellent primer on the brutal history of post-13th amendment prison labor. As the need for workers to do backbreaking work continues to increase, this is only going to get worse. You better believe this is part of why the administration keeps boasting about new prison construction.
Taylor Farms is using slave convict labor in Arizona. I’ve written about this practice before. America LOVES slave labor. junoryleejournalism.com/2026/01/15/p...
i also think it's incredibly funny that at the same time aipac is screaming about him being a hamasnik, hamasniks are screaming about him being a zionist because he doesn't endorse sending 9M people packing as the solution to the problem

I love child-inclusive archaeology so much. It *seems* obvious that kids would have directly or indirectly affected a lot of the material past we look at but it really has taken a sea change of feminist practice for anyone to even ask the questions!
15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.
i have had to distance myself from so many people in the past few years because they've responded to legitimate bad things with this growing, black conviction that everything can only ever get worse, that we've lost, that it's all falling apart, and, no, we're still here. and we're beautiful!
If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.
The microtransactions in the next Madden will verge on postmodern performance art
EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
Even with my (relative) awareness and involvement in prison abolition and improving conditions for incarcerated people, I wasn't aware until this post that prisons are exempt from the ACA. Not surprised, but damn. (This is why independent journalism is important, follow The Xylom)
Most states outsource prison healthcare to for-profit contractors, meaning profit shapes every level of care. Since the federal Affordable Care Act protections do not apply to prisons, incarcerated people are not guaranteed regular checkups, prescriptions, or access to doctors.
"are the last three posts you reposted related tara" hmmmmmmmmmm i don't know, do you know why the story's curtains are blue? that might help you answer that question, if you're asking it sincerely
Making Black people feel menaced and unsafe is as critical to the dogma of full-spectrum white safety as being accommodating of all white demands, desires and delusions.
For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
