Well, this was inevitable. Forstater is now using her own case to argue that racism should/is protected as a philosophical belief 🤮

That’s what the free speech enthusiasts have always wanted - no free speech, just plenty of active abuse and bigotry that they can pretend is somehow noble rebellion

i would simply be nice to people in the apocalypse

its an anti-social fantasy that if “civilization collapses” whatever that may mean, that you will be the one lone person who is prepared and will survive while everyone else starves if that doomsday scenario happens it would be good to become more reliant on others around you, not less

EyyyyyYYYYYYY here we go!!

Anyone who saying 'gender-critical' is not 'anti-rights' are chatting shit... No surprise they are calling another black woman athlete a 'man', because they are, racist, misogynistic, and transphobic, and often homophobic as well... how many more groups do they need to be against, to prove this?? 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

What do you do when you've launched a moral panic about transgender athletes in the WNBA, but there has never been an active trans player in the league? Simple: you start a conspiracy theory about every single woman on the court.

Somewhere, probably very soon, we're going to start finding a lot of bodies.

www.npr.org/2026/08/26/n... ICE recorded 49,571 arrests in July, setting the highest monthly arrest total in Trump's second term. The total surge averages out to 1,599 apprehensions a day, and tops June's record-breaking number of 43,021 arrests by 15%.

Reasons why I feel seen by the Necron Lore in 40K. I too desire to: - Transcend this prison of Flesh. - kill the gods that enslave us - sleep

George Carlin famously said that “the poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class.”

Capitalism requires homelessness to exist. Without the existential threat of a torturous homelessness, many people simply would not work degrading, backbreaking labor for pennies to the boss's dollar.

If you ever feel bad about botching your indie game release, remember that you'll never be as bad as Ubisoft. They literally forgot to upload the actual game.

Remember: Transphobes are a freak minority. They are so incredibly tiny. That's why they need to bribe and sue and strong-arm the rest of us into compliance, where the trans community just need to show up. If you're an academic, sign this open letter. Remind them how small they are.

The best way to honor the two who have left us recently, imo, is to keep being as gay as possible

Tim Curry was not the 80-year-old Home Alone 2 cast member we were asking for.

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

Did you know Tim Curry was originally going to be the Joker in Batman The Animated Series? They decided to go in a different direction and hired Mark Hamill, but not before he'd had done some recordings. Recently I saw this original footage of his performance. Just a wonderful weird artefact.

If you're looking for something to remember Tim Curry by, he did a visit to the AMPAS 6 months ago, serving as a career retrospective: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3VK... Or you could also watch this interview with Ben Mankiewicz, which was posted just two weeks ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4i3...

Whoever is aiming the arrow at octogenarians needs WAY better aim.

Dangit Dolly Parton and Tim Curry in as many days?!

I bet it feels really satisfying to shout "Enough!" right as a bolt of lightning strikes nearby.

Great article about why kink art is so important

"For me, pornography did what no sociology textbook could do. It told me that I was OK, and gave me hope I might one day find a partner who’d think my tastes were OK, too. It followed that one day I might be able to have a sex life in which I could be honest about my desires after all."

"Huh, I wonder why, in Japan, the game Silent Hill uses the english name and letters?" "Well it'd be like if there was a US horror game just called "MASSACHUSETTS". "The Great Hill" just sounds more ominous." "Wait, so..." "Yeah, the Shizuoka region in Japan literally translates to Silent Hill"

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

Gamescom AI Slop Thread. Every game from the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies that was actually AI Slop so you don't have to care about it.

BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain. @sbworkersunited.org has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.

"Neutral in the culture war"

CNN@cnn.com · yesterday

"At a time when no American celebrity seems immune from the country’s many divisions, Dolly Parton was a crossover icon who stayed neutral in the culture wars while still speaking her mind," writes Zachary B. Wolf. | Analysis

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Posting all of these today. I loved doing one on her birthday every year that I could. We have lost one of the brightest lights that has ever shined.

The weather has taken a turn for the wimdy and my joints are absolutely feeling it today. Already in a lot of pain and I've still got chores to settle before I can stream, so I'm taking the night this time around. See y'all on Thursday for whatever chaos I have wrought upon the CBH modded server.

There are so many donations happening right now that the site has crashed.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
