A few things Dungeon Crawler Carl says very well: - Question your relationship to consumption and viewership. - The norms that govern us are socially constructed yet treated as immutable and more important than human life - Apathy is violent.

Having finished the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series, and still being moderately obsessed with it, I've been poking around the internet for places to discuss, or just generally bask in other people's hype. And of course I check out DCC chat here on bsky. Man, it's messy. Mostly positive, or at...

I have recently fallen into the Dungeon Crawler Carl fandom. Started listening to the audio books a couple weeks back, and have been devouring them ever since. They have some issues, but man are they fun and engrossing, with some fantastic characters and relationships. And the main character...

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.

I really wish we'd get more candidates running on justice and anti-corruption platforms. As an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife. The only justice that the people who have committed truly heinous acts face is what we, as a society, bring to them. It's long past time for the cruel to face it

speaking as a jew: aipac lies. most american jews strongly favor palestinian rights and dignity because "never again" means *never again to anyone" and netanyahu has committed war crimes treasonable to jewish morality, among others. mamdani's victory is a victory for all of us in all of our ways.

Zohran Mamdani won NYC Mayor while unapologetically: -Calling Israel's siege on Palestinians a genocide -Upholding ICC's warrant to arrest Netanyahu -Upholding BDS as a legitimate form of free speech -Demanding Palestinian self-determination -Securing a plurality of Jewish voters This is the future

Just canceled my Disney+ subscription. I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel much. I don't watch much late night TV at all. But the current situation is bullshit. I don't have much power, but I do have some say in who gets my money. And I encourage others to do the same.

My extremely minor claim to maybe fame (for the FF and MTG players): Sometimes we get to participate in feedback reviews of cards at work. They'll give us some cards to review and give opinions on. The FFXIV Commander deck has a reprint of "Snuff Out". The feedback version was of Papylymo's death.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Science bias vs non. What *is* bias: Hundreds of years of naturalists underreporting homosexual, non-gender and opposite-gender behavior in animals by discounting them as "aberrations". What is *not* bias: Studies on the differences between sex and gender, and recognizing trans as real.

Someone with skill at 3D printing needs to mock up a printable, 18-24 inch guillotine, and make that print file freely available to protestors. Elon isn't used to protests. He's still a needy nerd who gets upset when people call out his fake video game skills and cries for attention (1/2)
