I like Abdul a lot and I'm overjoyed at his nomination, but we DO need to acknowledge an aspect of the uphill battle to come; He ran a pretty good campaign. BUT that campaign was massively bolstered by Stevens running an embarrassingly BAD campaign

This is one of my favourite BTS images, I couldn't not share... Tim Curry, on set for Disney's Three Musketeers movie, holding a Game Boy which he apparently loved to take with him wherether he went.

for all the corruption of the bastard, it's just mind boggling to read Richard Nixon's statements and notes on his landmark 1972 visit to China. It's simply otherworldly to me at this point to imagine an American president with coherent, calculated speech navigating complex, big-picture diplomacy.

I'm just going to say this out loud for future posterity: Calling out somebody by name for their anonymous sockpuppet abuse / stalking accounts isn't the same as "doxxing" and nobody but the guilty would ever see it as "doxxing"

chat they made something in real life that i swear to god would be a shitpost i could have come up with almost a decade ago and i need people to mail me packs immediately as little gifts. do you know how badly i need 1993 Daphne on a trading card with her lil choker and flower skirt

unfortunately for me it is a box of packs of frasier collectible trading cards, which exist in real life but unfortunately not in my gay little hands (yet)

skimming the discog and history pages for SingleTrac / Incog / EatSleepPlay is incredibly distressing, its just a decade and a half of outrageously talented people cranking out critically acclaimed hit games, usually twice a year, and getting canned for it over and over again shit industry, man

“We should return to an older and more accurate name for the Civil War: the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy

To face our own history, we must be honest about it.

You are a mark if you are getting propagandized to build more jails and arrest even more people at a time when all of the governments OWN MEASURES show violent crime having significantly decreased over the past years.

I appreciate Elon using his dopey litigiousness to keep Twitter's status as "the chiId p0rnography generator site" in the forefront of the public consciousness Like every week somebody does the "well I'm still on X because that's *where things happen*" my dude. we've seen what happens there.
