The thing about attacking hypocrisy is that anyone can do it to anyone else without ever committing to any specific beliefs or positions. It's the least informative, least useful form of criticism.
Thread of some of my thoughts on the Machine Games Wolfenstein series.
To-Wit@towit12.bsky.social · last wk.Despite the memorability of the five-minute Roswell segment, The New Colossus is much less of a clear-eyed and pointed attack on Nazism than The New Order was. One gets the impression from TNC that the Nazis mostly mildly disliked fat people, leaving it rather a mystery what all the war was about.
Next time you go "men would rather do X than go to therapy," consider Apple is currently running an ad about how a man's therapist holds his frivolous problems in such contempt that she wishes to leave the country youtu.be/rxSDjw7o5jA

Melissa Citro@citronmelisse.bsky.social · 3w agoAs ICE was kidnapping a member of our community in Maplewood, NJ on Monday, neighbors got to the scene to peacefully observe and document. ICE used observers’ license plates to identify them, call them out by name and address, and tell them to go home. villagegreennj.com/community/ic...
What would we rate the odds of gas prices going up ~$2/gal in the next year or two?
Maybe reconsider nominating clergy going forward idk

I wonder what the 1955 Le Mans disaster was like in the Cars universe
The lesson of my late 20s has been that, contrary to my previous belief, I'm probably not especially introverted or antisocial -- I just really, really hate church
bsky being as stupid as possible about the robot olympics, predictably
You know, this kind of, like, almost worshipful reifying of abstracted male bodies feels so rare to me that my heart is kinda warmed by it

Why did you unblock me, exactly?
Dreamt last night about a brutal fistfight which I ended by seizing the other guy's head and rapidly slamming it into a wall. 1st time I can remember being able to hand out real damage like that in a dream, which I felt immediately shocked and guilty about, so ofc the other guy got up woozy but fine
I'm fascinated by this genre of AI-generated anti-AI propaganda. I'm seeing more and more examples of this lately.

Zero sugar sodas have gotten so good that there's basically no reason to drink the real McCoy anymore
Not long after I got the collector's edition of Doom Eternal with the wearable helmet, a bunch of wildfire smoke blew in from California to tint the world a hellish red. This is all in-camera.
Adam Rawnsley@arawnsley.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe wildfire smoke makes it look like I’m living in the Dune universe. Everything has a sepia tone and I hear Hans Zimmer music sung in a fictional language whenever I look at the sun

I must extend my formal apology to the nation and people of Germany for my actions during my most recent visit, wherein I deeply misunderstood the nature and purpose of what I believed to be a "crankin' house,"
lol your use is not transformative, it's a totally unmodified still from SNL with a text caption
Way Out@outthererightnow.bsky.social · 4mo agoMy picture is transformative, adding a new layer to the original work. I used only as much as as I needed to get my point across (I most certainly did not link the video) and my picture had 0 effect on the market. Another day, another AI stan having no clue what they're talking about :/
The Spurs collapse in Game 4 was so pathetic it actually made me switch rooting interests. Happy the Knicks got their first chip in a half century and content to file this one as a victory for Team Blue.
Thinking back to the discourse from a few weeks ago about how it was no big deal and in fact cool, actually, that Talarico is an ordained minister Christianity, man, I dunno
Danielle Froom 🏳️🌈@danifroom.bsky.social · 5mo agoDeeply ugly rhetoric. Democrats are completely unable to resist pivoting directly into eugenicism when trans people are involved.
